Trivia

 * Despite being made of blackrock, this armor doesn't stop the Avatar from using magic (which blackrock usually does).
 * The armor is so heavy, the Avatar will sink like a rock with it on, making swimming normally impossible. However, it is possible to swim with all pieces except the chest on, as only the chest pulls the Avatar down. Thanks to the structure of the inventory system of the game, putting the chest in the inventory suddenly nullifies its weight and swimming becomes possible.
 * Using a kite shield together with this armor gives the maximal protection possible.
