You need to collect powerful gear, weaponry, and tools if you want to stay alive in Enshrouded. There’s a lot of really strong gear you can get, but most of it is quite tough to obtain—and the Guard of the North armor set is one such option.
If you want to ensure you’re equipped with some of the best gear Embervale has to offer, then here’s how to unlock the Guard of the North set in Enshrouded.
How to get the Guard of the North set in Enshrouded
The Guard of the North set can only be found as loot out in the world of Embervale and is not a craftable armor set. This means you have to venture out to the appropriate area if you want to get this armor, and the spot to find it is located pretty far away from where you first start.
Where to find Guard of the North armor in Enshrouded
All pieces of the Guard of the North armor set can be found around the Pike’s Port area, which is a location you’ll need to visit during the Pikemead’s Reach quest from the Blacksmith. The Pike’s Port area is found near the very north of Embervale.
Like all other armor collections in Enshrouded, there are five different pieces in the Guard of the North set you need to collect if you want your character to be equipped with this gear from head to toe.

Now that you have one of the best armor sets you can unlock in Enshrouded, you should consider what the best class to pair with it is and work on unlocking the best weapons to use. Combining your powerful armor with strong choices in both areas will ensure you’re truly an unstoppable force ready to take on anything Embervale throws at you.
