Step 1: Reaching the Right Location

The armor is located in the Wenshaganaw: The Stinging Waters region. Follow these steps to get there:

1. Start in Serene: Begin the game and complete the prologue to travel to New Serene.
2. Head to Wenshaganaw:
   • Leave New Serene and head northeast on the world map.
   • Select Wenshaganaw: The Stinging Waters as your destination.

Step 2: Find the Camp and Prepare for a Fight

1. Enter Wenshaganaw and look for a camp near a clearing, marked by orange and yellow trees beside a river.
2. Approach cautiously — a powerful Guardian enemy protects the chest containing the armor.

Step 3: Defeat the Guardian or Bypass It

• Option 1: Defeat the Guardian
  • This boss is tough, especially early on. Come prepared with healing potions, traps, or return later if needed.
  • After defeating it, search the corpse in a beige jacket nearby to find the Merchant’s Key.
• Option 2: Lockpick the Chest
  • If you have Level 3 Lockpicking, you can skip the fight entirely and open the chest immediately.

Step 4: Claim the Armor Set

• Head to the riverbank near the camp to locate the locked chest.
• Use either:
  • Level 3 Lockpicking, or
  • The Merchant’s Key obtained from the corpse.
• Inside is the full Merchant Prince Ceremonial Armor Set, including the unique Ambassador’s Hat.
