How to Get the Netflix Armor in The Witcher 3: Forgotten Wolf Gear and Kaer Morhen Diagrams

The so-called Netflix armor is the Forgotten Wolf gear: a witcher set modeled on the outfit Henry Cavill's Geralt wears in the Netflix series. It arrived with the free next-gen update (patch 4.0) and is still part of the game in the current 4.04 version, so you don't need to buy anything extra to get the base set. You do have to earn it, though. The diagrams sit at the end of a short but atmospheric side quest in Velen called In the Eternal Fire's Shadow, and the upgraded versions are tucked away at Kaer Morhen.

This guide covers where the quest starts, how to get through it, how to pick up the higher-tier diagrams, and what you need to craft each piece.

What you get

Finishing the quest hands you the diagrams for the basic Forgotten Wolf gear. Unlike the classic witcher school sets, this one skips the Enhanced and Superior tiers and goes straight from base to Mastercrafted to Grandmaster.

The upper tiers include the armor, gauntlets, trousers, boots, a steel sword and a silver sword, so you can build the full six-piece look. The chest piece is medium armor.

Where the quest starts

Head to the Devil's Pit in Velen, a mine on the road east of Mulbrydale. The easiest approach is to fast travel to the Hanged Man's Tree signpost and ride the short distance over. A young priest of the Eternal Fire waits by a wagon outside the pit; talk to him and he'll ask you to deal with a spirit haunting the caves.

Step-by-step: In the Eternal Fire's Shadow

1. Get ready first. The quest can be picked up early, but the fights inside are tougher than the surrounding area suggests. Bring repair kits, Swallow, Thunderbolt and White Honey, and put points into Quen and Yrden.
2. Talk to the priest and clear the entrance. Bandits hang around the pit. Deal with them, then head through the big double doors into the caves.
3. Follow the letters. Inside you'll find a trail of notes from a man named Reinald, plus Wolf School insignias and glyphs. Use Witcher Senses constantly – most of the clues are easy to miss in the dark. If you've done Keira Metz's magic lamp quest, her lamp helps reveal some of the past events here.
4. Survive the plague victims. Several waves of infected attack you as you go deeper. Keep Quen up and burn them down with a damage potion.
5. Find Reinald's chambers. Climb up to his shack to find another letter and the recipe for Reinald's Philter. Brew it with the ingredients and materials nearby.
6. Free Reinald. He's trapped inside salt formations – blast them apart with Aard. It turns out he's possessed by a creature called the Red Miasmal.
7. Decide on the philter. You can hand it to Reinald or drink it yourself. Guides recommend keeping it: Geralt gains protection from the Miasmal, but it raises toxicity, so have White Honey ready.
8. Beat Reinald, then the Red Miasmal. Reinald is fast and regenerates, so slow him with Yrden and keep the pressure on. The Miasmal teleports and summons more plague victims, but killing it removes them.
9. Settle Reinald's fate. His ghost reveals he was a witcher who forged this armor himself as a prototype for the Wolf School, and asks you to take the diagrams from his tunic. You can bring the priest in for a final conversation or simply burn the body. Exhaust the white dialogue options before picking a yellow one if you want the most satisfying outcome.

Once the quest wraps up, the base Forgotten Wolf diagrams are yours, and a new quest – Scavenger Hunt: Forgotten Wolf School Gear Diagrams – appears in your journal.

Getting the Mastercrafted and Grandmaster diagrams

The scavenger hunt is one of the shortest in the game because everything is in one spot:

1. Fast travel to Kaer Morhen. You need to have unlocked it through the main story.
2. Enter the main hall and follow the quest marker to the left side.
3. Climb the ladder up to the bookshelves on the upper platform.
4. Find the glowing bookcase and use Witcher Senses to pick up Osmund's Notes and Vesemir's Note.
5. Read both notes. That completes the quest and adds the remaining diagrams to your list.

Crafting the set

• Base gear: Any armorer or blacksmith can make it once you have the materials. Fergus Graem in Velen is a convenient choice for the armor pieces.
• Mastercrafted gear: Each piece requires the base version of that piece as an ingredient, so craft the tiers in order.
• Grandmaster gear: Requires the Mastercrafted version plus rare materials, and it needs a grandmaster-level craftsman. Those are only found in Toussaint, which means you'll need the Blood and Wine expansion (included in the Complete Edition).

Tips and common mistakes

• Don't rush in underleveled. The quest is available early, but Reinald and the Miasmal can wreck a low-level Geralt. Coming back once you're closer to level 20 – when you can actually wear the gear – is a sensible plan.
• Check every corner. Some of Reinald's letters are on upper ledges and behind doors you pass on the way. The quest's optional objectives give you more loot if you're thorough.
• Keep your old tiers. Since every upgrade consumes the previous version, don't sell or dismantle the base pieces.
• Save before the boss fights. The fight with Reinald leads straight into the Miasmal, so meditate and repair your gear before you approach the pit.

Is it worth it?

Yes, especially if you like the series. The quest itself is a dark, compact witcher story with a satisfying twist, and the set gives you a full matching outfit, swords included, that scales all the way to Grandmaster. For anyone who wants Geralt to look like he stepped out of the show, it's an easy evening well spent.
