Luminous Armour
In Baldur’s Gate 3, Luminous Armour is a medium armor you can get from the chest in Selunite Outpost during Act 1. It provides the AC bonus to Dexterity, making it an excellent choice for classes such as Ranger or Rogue. You can equip it to your character’s chest slot in the inventory. The user needs Medium Armour proficiency or suffers penalties while wearing the armour.

How to Get Luminous Armour in Baldur’s Gate 3
You can get Luminous Armour in Act 1 from a glided chest (X:175 Y:-247) located in the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark. Here is a short overview of how to get Luminous Armour:
- Progress until you reach Underdark in Act 1
- Enter The Underdark
- Head to the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark
- Open the locked iron door to the east room on the top level of the outpost.
- Pass a Perception check next to the glided chest, revealing a hidden door.
- Disarm the traps on the chests.
- Lockpick the glided chest (X:175 Y:-247) and get the luminous armor.
To get the Luminous Armour, you must first enter the Underdark. There are a few entrances, including trying the Shattered Sanctum and Auntie Ethel’s house, but I’ll quickly explain how to get there through the Whispering Depths underneath Blighted Village. You’ll need the potion, scroll, or spell of Feather Fall, so ensure you have one before proceeding.
Find the Underdark
Set your course west from Emerald Grove, and you’ll easily find the Blighted Village and a well in the middle. You must pass an Investigation skill check of 10 DC, to use it and climb down to the Whispering Depths. Inside the cave system, there are giant Spiders and Spider Matriarchs (X: -543 Y: -366). You must defeat them first, so we advise you to reach at least level 3 so you’ll have no problem with the fight and surviving in the Underdark.
Get the Luminous Armor
Once you are ready and defeated the spiders, you need to jump down the big tunnel (X: -543 Y: -366) leading straight down to the Underdark, and that’s when you need the Feather Fall spell. Use it so you won’t take any fall damage. You must find the Selunite Outpost on the far southeast side of the Underdark map. Still, active defense systems won’t allow you to enter the ruins from the front gate. Jump the rocky shelves on the left side of the outpost, where there is a broken window and destroyed wall, allowing you easy access inside.
Once inside, take the stairs up and unlock the iron door to the east room, where you find a glided chest with the Helmet of Smiting (X:164 Y:-251). As you approach, your team will automatically pass a perception check, unveiling the hidden door to the east. If you happen to fail this skill check, you can save the game and bring a different companion from your camp to the area. If necessary, load the game, and repeat the process until the door is revealed. Note that both chests in the hidden room are rigged with traps, so be sure to disarm them before looting the Luminous Armor from the chest (X:175 Y:-247) in Baldur’s Gate 3!
