Hey guys, Luna here—welcome back to another in-depth Atlas Falling guide. Today, we’re zeroing in on one of the most vital aspects of your journey: armor. In this guide, we’ll break down how to acquire every armor piece available in the game along with some tips on customization and strengthening your gear. Whether you’re following the main story, diving into side missions, or exploring the hidden corners of the game world, this guide is designed to help you secure the best armors and truly make them your own.

Unraveling the Armor Hunt

Atlas Falling features a total of 11 unique armor sets, each with its own method of acquisition and a dash of personality. Most of these armors are obtained by progressing through the main story, though a few are tied to side missions or hidden in random chests scattered across the game world. Remember that while some cosmetic armor pieces are easily bought or rewarded, they are all missable if you’re not careful. For instance, items like totems are clearly marked on your map, and if you need help with treasure map locations, there’s a separate video dedicated solely to that—but here, we’re focusing on those armors you’ll stumble upon in random chests and in the flow of gameplay.

The journey starts with a few key pieces you should secure early on. The Recruit Garment, your first armor from the traveling vendor, is non-missable—so grab it without hesitation. Next up, The Unwanted Workwear serves as your starring outfit, setting the tone for what’s to come. However, keep an eye out for the Purgers War Suit, which is available for purchase from the vendor in Custom Seven. This one is missable, so if you see it, buy it as soon as possible.

As you push forward, the game rewards you with the Knights Plate—earned as a reward for the main mission “The Path to Basting.” This armor, along with the Scouts Gear from the side mission “History of the Shared Keep,” is also missable. It’s crucial to secure these early pieces before moving on to the next game area, such as the Basting Guards Underground, where returning to the map later won’t let you interact with those NPCs again.

Venturing Through the Game World

After locking down the early armor pieces, you’ll encounter additional sets as you explore further. In the Basting Guard Underground, you’ll pick up the Dead Ice Attire during the “From Belief to Trust” main quest, while the Preacher’s Guard makes its appearance during the “City of the Sun” main mission set in the wildlands. Another important set is the Red Company armor—purchased from a vendor in the Mining Village. Even though it’s unclear if this one is missable, it’s wise to secure it early, just in case.

As your journey continues, the Perennial Mountain Armor is awarded during the “City of the Sun” main quest, and the Queen’s Cover Armor is available for purchase in the Citadel. Lastly, the Ancient Armor, which you can obtain by completing the Ancient Armor side quest, is not missable, rounding out the complete collection. Each of these armors not only enhances your defensive capabilities but also carries its own aesthetic charm, reflecting the lore and rich visual style of Atlas Falling.

Armor Customization and Enhancement

Beyond simply collecting these armors, the game offers robust customization options to truly make your gear your own. Once you’ve found your armor, you can use Essence to power it up at various anvils scattered throughout the world. Strengthening your armor isn’t just about boosting stats—it’s about tailoring your defensive style to suit your unique approach in battle. Whether you’re aiming for that extra layer of protection or tweaking cooldown times on active abilities, the customization system allows for an intricate balance of form and function.

As you progress, you might also come across mysterious shrines and odd encounters that hint at hidden curses or boons. It’s all part of the immersive experience that Atlas Falling offers. While the idea of getting cursed might sound intimidating, it adds an extra layer of risk and reward to your armor customization journey. So, keep your wits about you and experiment with different builds—after all, every decision can impact your overall performance in combat.

Final Thoughts

Atlas Falling is as much about exploration as it is about combat mastery, and your armor plays a crucial role in both. From the Recruit Garment and Unwanted Workwear that kickstart your adventure, to the Ancient Armor that stands as a testament to your perseverance, every piece has a story and a purpose. Make sure to secure those missable armors early, customize them with careful use of Essence, and always stay alert for opportunities to enhance your build.

Thank you for joining this comprehensive dive into Atlas Falling’s armor system. Remember, the path to becoming a formidable warrior isn’t just about the weapons you wield—it’s also about the armor you choose to wear and how you make it uniquely yours.
