This page of the Divinity Original Sin 2 guide contains tips on how to acquire five different parts of Braccus Rex's armor. We also list the unique stat bonuses obtained when using items from this set.
While you were doing Withermoore's Soul Jar you have probably noticed that there are items with a name of a character from the previous game - Braccus Rex. Even though the game doesn't have a set mechanic (as in, e.g. Diablo series), you can find equipment elements that change their effects when a character is equipped with certain items. This is the case with Braccus Rex set. You can collect 5 items (although there are more of them but you can learn about this later): Tyrant's Stride, Heart of the Tyrant, Corrupted Tyrant's Helm, The Hands of the Tyrant and Tracks of the Tyrant.
Tyrant's Stride
Heart of the Tyrant
Corrupted Tyrant's Helm
The Hands of the Tyrant
Tracks of the Tyrant
Using the armor and a few interesting facts
Tyrant's Stride
Location of Tyrant's Stride.
This item can be found inside of Ancient Passage - this place is visited during Withermoore's Soul Jar quest. In the west part of the room you can find one of the two statues (presented in the picture above). Select a character that has the highest Wits attribute and order it to interact with the statue. Then you must use all dialog lines. After that you can pick up the item from the ground.
Heart of the Tyrant
Location of the second item, Heart of the Tyrant.
The second item can be found in Madman's Enclave right after you have the second fight with Trompdoy. The item is in the treasury - where you can find soul jars, chests and gold piles.
Corrupted Tyrant's Helm
The helmet of Braccus Rex will come out from the shrine.
Braccus Rex's can be found in Decrepit Ruins - a small location which can be accessed near the place where you save Gareth (Most Dangerous When Cornered quest). When you enter the room, you simply have to cast Bless on the lever on the left, use it and enter another room. There, you just have to interact with Shrine of Braccus Rex (requires a Source Point) and after that you can pick up the item from the ground.
The Hands of the Tyrant
Th gloves from Braccus' set.
The gloves are located in Gargoyle's Maze Tower. The video above contains a detailed walkthrough for that place. Behind the force field you can find two sarcophaguses - interacting with the one on the right will make a poison to start leaking out. From the same sarcophagus, you can take The Hands of the Tyrant.
Tracks of the Tyrant
The last, fifth item, from the set is located in the tower on the beach in Fort Joy. The tower can be accessed by using Teleport ability or one of those that allow you to jump / teleport - Phoenix Dive, Cloak & Dagger, Tactical Retreat or Spread Your Wings. When you reach the tower, you simply have to search Lorenzo's corpse and take the item. You can watch the whole process in the video above.
Using the armor and a few interesting facts
When you equip any of the items, you can notice that it is enchanted - it inflicts a curse on a person that wears it reducing their speed of movement, inflicts Warm status etc. However, there is a simple way of removing that curse - you simply have to wear all 5 items that you have acquired recently. Together, they offer only bonus effects and the curses are gone - until you remove, at least, one of the items.
The "cleansed" helmet of Braccus is a good item for a warrior.
Here are some interesting facts about the items of Braccus Rex:
Spear of Braccus Rex, Ring of Braccus Rex and The Illuminator are his artifacts but they are not part of the set - you don't need them to remove the effects of the curse.
The helmet of Braccus. Corrupted Tyrant's Helm offers an additional ability - Purge (previously known as Source Vampirism). The helmet has only 3 charges and when you deplete them all an enemy, Krylr the Kettlegrinder, will "jump out" from it. When you defeat the enemy, you will be able to pick up a "cleansed" version of the helmet called Tyrant's Helm. It still has a curse (inflicts Warm) but it offers much better stats.
Beneath the ruins where you save Gareth, there is an entrance to the Armoury of Braccus Rex.
Use Bless on the lever lift the curse, so you can open the door to the second room. You need to have source point to activate the monolith. ( if you don't have source point, interact with Source Fountain)
4) Armor of Braccus Rex: Inside the Illusionist's Vault. 5) Gauntlets of Braccus Rex: Located in the building at the end of the Gargoyle Maze in the tomb with a lid that is "too heavy" to be lifted.
While doing the quest The Vault of Braccus Rex the player will come across the Band of Braccus during the second encounter with Trompdoy and his illusions. Put it on to continue the quest and it'll curse the player. The player can remove the ring, but the curse will remain until the player uses Bless on themselves.
You need to keep control and keep the battlefield wet, lowering the chance of suffering burns and increasing the chance you can stun or freeze Rex. It's a tough battle, but you can do it. Just remember to keep those quick saves going, don't be afraid to run away to heal up if things get bad.
ruins, they start a quest.In the center of the area is a gate, inside you'll find Braccus' Armory.Enter to find the helm on the shrine in the next room.
The Vault of Braccus Rex is one of the many Quests found in Divinity: Original Sin 2. The quest is found in the Fort Joy region.It's North-West of camp, on a beach that is protected by several large Crocodiles. They are level 3 and have a mix of ranged and melee abilities.
In here will piles of gold you can loot, some chests, some paintings, a Purging Wand, the Supernova skillbook and another piece of Braccus Rex's collection, Heart of the Tyrant. Do not smash or absorb the soul jars as they are part of The Eternal Worshipper quest.
This helm will unequip and summon Krylr the Kettlegrinder after its Purge skill is used three times. The demon will start a conversation immediately after it spawns; regardless of your dialogue choices you will have to kill it. The helm will be returned to you after the Krylr is dead, now uncorrupted.
The leggings are found within a statue on the left side of the ancient passage in Fort Joy. To be able to obtain the leggings the party member interacting with the statue needs to have at least 15 Wits.
You will need to clear the area first, then you can find a door in the center of the complex, near a giant statue. Go through it and speak to the barely alive NPC inside. In order to fix the lever, you'll need Bless. You can get it by completing The Vault of Braccus Rex.
One of the many artefacts from the times of the Sourcerer King, Braccus Rex. The ring itself bears a lingering Curse on the last person who wore the ring; even after removal it remains until another is foolish enough to wear it. Not even Sourcerer magic can remove the curse from the ring itself.
If you cast bless on a character, it'll buff. And für the cursed gear: only the full set will remove the curses. So keep some spare parts since when you switch on part of the set, you have to change all other pieces as well.
