Exotic Armour

The Exotics, as envisioned in the "Exodus" manga

The Exotic Armour, found in Ultima III (and the Nintendo-port Ultima IV) is a magical variety of armour which can protect adventurers in places of extreme peril, such as they might find within the walls of Exodus' Castle Death.

Description

Throughout their quest in Sosaria against the hellspawn, the Stranger and companions would find out that only the Exotic Armour could protect them from the great evil they would face on the Isle of Fire. Having received several hints from the inhabitants of Grey and Dawn, the hero eventually found the armour buried on the western side of a small island east of the city of Grey. Steeled with such equipment, the Stranger's party managed to advance into the heart of Exodus' keep, where they faced the daemonic machine at long last.

Protective Value

In Ultima III the Exotics have a defensive value of 67%, are the only armour that works on the Isle of Fire and can be worn by all classes.

Trivia

• It makes all other armour obsolete.
• In the English localization of the Nintendo-port of Ultima III, the Exotic Armour was renamed Mystic Armour. In order to dig it up, the hero must first obtain the Golden Pick from the city of Dawn, then use it to retrieve the armour from the island near Grey.
• In the English localization of the Nintendo remake of Ultima IV, the Mystic Armour was renamed Exotic Armour (or ☥ Armour).
