- "Fashioned by the Helmschmied Armory in 1489, only a few sets were completed due to the weight of the metal."
- ―Description written in the Animus Outfit menu.
The Helmschmied Drachen Armor is a pre-order bonus in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Despite the name, the armor is a cosmetic outfit that has no gameplay effect.
Availability
Codes unlocking the Helmschmied Drachen Armor were available through any of the following:
- Purchase of the Codex or Auditore Edition of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.[1]
- Pre-order Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood from Amazon.com, Ubisoft.com, Steam (for the PC version), or Play.com. [citation needed]
- Purchase of The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC for the Xbox 360 and Playsation 3.[2]
Appearance
The robes below the waist use the same pattern as Altaïr's outfit from Assassin's Creed, except the Drachen robes are tailored to Ezio's body and have a leather texture rather than cloth. The torso is completely covered with stylised metal plates. The upper right arm guard extends higher than the shoulder; the left shoulder omits this for a normal spadula to make room for the cape. The matching bracers of the Drachen Armor do not sport the Assassin or eagle logo, as Ezio's normal bracers do. There are three unique features to this outfit: on the waist, the Assassin's emblem is flanked by rows of throwing knife sheathes; leather gloves are on each hand (other outfits have only one or no gloves); and the inner collar over Ezio's chest and neck is closed.[3]
The Helmschmied Drachen Armor cannot be dyed. Although the outfit hides the presence of equipped armor and the Climb Leap Glove, these items still function normally.[3]
Bugs
As with other cosmetic outfits in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the Helmschmied Drachen Armor overrides the outfit Ezio is expected to be wearing in the game. This leads to some bugs:
- The Drachen Armor is visible even when Ezio is supposed to be disguised as a guard, and the guards will not notice.[3]
- Whenever Ezio removes his hood (such as during cutscenes or at Monteriggioni), the Drachen's hood will remain upright.[3]
- During the Cristina Memories, when wearing the Drachen Armor Ezio will be older and bearded rather than the clean-shaven youth he was in Assassin's Creed II.[3][4]
Trivia
- "Helmschmied Drachen" is German for "Helmet Smith Dragon". There is also a set of Helmschmied Armor in Assassin's Creed II.[4]
- The Helmschmied armor also appears as a purchasable item in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, where its description states that it's "The finest in foreign engineering" and has an incredible price of 200,000 florins.[5]
- Official Concept artwork shows that the Helmschmied Drachen Armor was planned to be colored white; in-game, the armor is primarily black.
