How to Get Skald's Brigandine

In a Chest on the 1st Floor of Pargrun Cache (Shatterscarp)

Skald

You can get the Skald's Brigandine armor on the first floor of Pargrun Cache in Shatterscarp. It is locked behind a metal door that you can open by interacting with the Winch (wheel) inside the room on the second floor. You access that area by destroying the metal door using an Ice Spell or Eye of Rymrgand.

Once inside, look for the stone table and you should see the Winch next to it. Head down and loot the gold chest on the lowest level to get the armor.
