My Epic Quest for the Legendary Devourer Armor in Divinity: Original Sin 2

Let me tell you, my friends, about the single most grueling, mind-bending, and ultimately triumphant journey I've ever undertaken in the realm of Rivellon! It was the year 2026, and I, a humble adventurer, had heard whispers of an artifact so powerful, so shrouded in mystery, that most players dismissed it as a myth. They called it the Devourer set, and let me be clear: obtaining this armor is not for the faint of heart. It is a trial that tests your resolve, your intellect, and your combat prowess to their absolute limits. This isn't just a set of gear; it's a pact with ancient, hungry spirits, a story woven across the entire world, and the key to unlocking god-like power on the battlefield. Forget everything you know about loot; this is on a whole other level.

My odyssey began not with a bang, but with a grim discovery in the most wretched place imaginable: Fort Joy. Specifically, in the labyrinthine, soul-crushing Gargoyle's Maze. Tucked away in the southeast corner, I stumbled upon a corpse so forgotten even the magisters had ignored it. On it was a journal, its pages filled with desperate, cryptic ramblings. Reading it ignited the quest 'A Hunger From Beyond' in my soul. It was a calling, a siren song pulling me toward the foreboding Braccus Rex's Tower. Little did I know, this was merely the first breadcrumb on a trail that would span continents.

The first taste of power came swiftly, yet ominously. Inside the tower, a cursed chest pulsed with malevolent energy in a shadowy corner. A simple Bless spell cleansed its foul magic, and within... the Devourer's Claws. The moment I touched them, a spectral entity, the Voice of Flame, materialized before me. Its voice was like embers crackling in the void, guiding me to a hidden study near Judge Orivand. There, among dusty tomes, it spoke again, its next clue pointing to a place of eternal rest: the Stonegarden Cemetery on Reaper's Coast. The hunt was well and truly on!

Act 2 brought me to the somber, trap-laden grounds of the Stonegarden. Following the Voice's guidance to the letter, I navigated between jets of searing flame to claim the Devourer's Steps from a weathered chest. The spirit then whispered of a 'dig site' in the Black Pits, a location I would later visit while chasing the elusive Doctor. Its final directive for this act was tantalizingly vague: seek 'the isle with no name.' The Nameless Isle awaited.

The third leg of my pilgrimage was steeped in ancient mystery. On the Nameless Isle, I sought out the Altar of Zorl-Stissa. To the west, a path led to a cavern forgotten by time. At its heart stood a magnificent, silent dragon statue. An Ancient Inscription demanded a tribute: a flame rune placed in the statue's skull. As the rune ignited, the familiar Voice of Flame echoed once more, and the statue bestowed upon me the Devourer's Eminence. But the quest was deepening! A fourth spirit in the island's lava fields revealed a shocking truth: this armor could be ascended to a greater form, but only after a final confrontation. The stage was set for the grand city of Arx.

Arx, the city of final destinies, held the last two pieces. The Devourer's Maw helmet was locked away in a display case within the Vault of Linder Kemm, protected by a maddening combination lock. The code, hidden on the back of an 'Outlaw Empress' painting, was a puzzle in itself: Middle, Right, Middle, Left, Left, Right. With a satisfying click, the case opened. The Voice then led me to a bizarre workshop inside a toy store, where spectral tools hinted at the final piece's location.

The culmination of my search was almost poetic. On the northwest shoreline of Arx, near the Consulate Gardens, I used a tactical retreat to leap down to a secluded beach. There, nestled in a simple raft, was a bag containing the Devourer's Heart. As I claimed it, the Voice of Flame revealed its true, terrifying nature. It was not a guide, but the Devourer itself, and it was time for our reckoning. A final spirit, the Spirit of the Dreamer, offered passage to its domain for the ultimate upgrade.

Now, the final, earth-shattering choice presented itself. To upgrade the armor, I had to conclude the pact.

• Option 1: Consume the Spirits. This would please the Devourer, merging its essence with the armor for a monumental power boost. But the price was eternal! The armor would become a permanent, unremovable part of my character. A symbiosis of immense power and inescapable burden.

• Option 2: Slay the Devourer. A brutal battle against the entity itself. While this allowed me to upgrade the armor without the permanent binding, and even net some extra loot from its corpse, the fight was legendary in its difficulty. A pro-tip for any brave soul: consume the Craftswoman and Fanatic spirits before the fight to thin its ranks. You then have a brief, precious window where the remaining spirits chain the Devourer, letting you unleash hell upon it. Fail to kill it in time, and you face its unshackled, apocalyptic wrath.

So, what does this legendary, fully-upgraded armor actually do? Let me break it down for you. Wearing the complete set grants the passive ability Devourer's Slumber, a force of nature on the battlefield. But each piece is a masterpiece of combat engineering:
