Equipping the best armor is the first priority of any GoW player as it helps you survive longer in battles with the lethal foes whom Kratos goes up against.
One such armor is the Dragon Scaled armor which is a late-game armor and is considered to be the best armor set in GoW Ragnarok.
Each set of this armor provides Kratos with an ability buff that ranges from Dragon’s Rebuke buffs to strength buffs that help the protagonist deal massive damage to any foe that decides to fight you.
However, there are some prerequisites that you need to complete to unlock and find the amazing Dragon Scaled Armor in God of War Ragnarok. In this guide, we will go over all these requirements and help you get your hands on the dragon-themed armor and the Dragon Slayer trophy in God of War Ragnarok.
How to craft the Dragon Scaled armor set
The dragon scaled armor isn’t found as a loot drop but instead needs to be crafted using parts from the various dragons and drekis you slay over the course of the game.
To get started with crafting the dragon armor in GoW Ragnarok, first, you have to complete the 8th main mission, Creatures of Prophecy. By doing so, you will unlock Scent of Survival favor which will in turn unlock The Crater.
Thankfully, all the dragons and drakes you have to hunt down are within the Vanaheim realm so you don’t have to travel much. All you need is access to The Crater area where there are 9 different dragon hunts for you to take part in. These dragon hunts also count towards 100% completion of Vanaheim so they are worth doing for the trophy if you don’t care about the armor.
Since the armor is called Dragon Scaled armor, the obvious parts you need to craft are drops from the dragons you hunt down and kill, alongside a hefty amount of Hacksilver.
The three parts of the Dragon Scaled armor set in GoW Ragnarok require a total of 22 Dragon Tooth and one Dragon Claw to craft and then even more if you want to upgrade them to level 9 to improve their bonuses and unlock transmog, so prepare to grind a lot.
Dragon Scaled Breastplate
You’ll need 2x Dragon Tooth and 1x Dragon Claw to craft the Dragon Scaled Breastplate in God of War: Ragnarok.
The Dragon Scaled Breastplate provides Kratos with Dragon’s Fury buff which increases Strength and Defense whenever you block or parry an attack. The effects stack and are reset if you get hit in combat.
Dragon Scaled Girdle
You’ll need 10x Dragon Tooth to craft the Dragon Scaled Girdle in God of War: Ragnarok.
Gives Dragon’s Rebuke buff that increases all damage done with shield attacks as well as doing damage to enemies whenever you block or parry an attack.
Dragon Scaled Bracers
You’ll need 10x Dragon Tooth to craft the Dragon Scaled Bracers in God of War: Ragnarok. Similar to Girdle, Dragon Scaled Bracers also provide the user with a Dragon’s Rebuke buff.
Meaning, it will provide you with an increase in all Shield damage along with a successful parry/block to deal damage to the nearby foes.
