The Helmschmied Drachen Armor.

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:

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 shoulder pieces are assymetrical: the right upper arm includes a wide piece, but the left shoulder omits this for a normal spadula to make room for the cape. 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 is closed.[3]

The Helmschmied Drachen Armor cannot be dyed. Although the outfit hides the presence of the equipped armor and the Climb Leap Glove, these items still function normally.[3]

Bugs

As with other cosmetic outfit 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 worn 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 being the young man he was in Florence.[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, yet in-game, it appears black.
