How to get The Witcher 3's Netflix armor, and complete In The Eternal Fire's Shadow
If you're hoping to get your hands on the Netflix armor for Geralt in The Witcher 3, you’re looking for In The Eternal Fire’s Shadow, which should appear as an area of interest in the Devil’s Pit area, east of Mulberry and north of Crookback Bog in the center of Velen.
Outside the Devil’s Pit, near the fast travel sign, you should find a young man in red next to a cart who enlist your help in cleansing the Pit’s cave from evil spirits.
Make sure to ask for a moderate fee, around 250 coins, to avoid irking the deacon. You’ll also want to be at least level 14 or higher, with skill points invested in Geralt’s attacks and the signs you use most often, to handle some of the quest’s foes without too much trouble.
You’ll need to enter the Pit and clear out the bandits there, all of whom are at level nine. If you’ve recently cleared the Pit, the bandits will respawn anyway. Make your way to the bottom of the Pit as you clear out the last of them. At the back is an entrance to a cave that was formerly blocked by a large wooden door.
The cave’s interior is dark, so we recommend crafting a Cat Potion. You start the game with the Cat manuscript page, and it uses common ingredients.
Explore the cave and find Reinald’s letters
Activate your Witcher senses, and follow the trail of clues through the cave, picking up Reinald’s Letters as you go, until you reach a fork in the path.
Go left, even though you’re told to go right, and keep following the trail until it hits a brick wall. Your Witcher senses tell you this wall is breakable, so use your Aard sign – the one that generates a small blast of force – and knock it down.
Use another Cat Potion if need be, and head into the cave’s darkest depths. Keep pushing forward through the lab area until you reach a point where the disembodied voice tells you to go away again. Save, heal if necessary, and push forward into the pit, where you’ll fight several Plague Victims (level 14).
After the fight ends, move ahead again, and enter the small hut at the map’s eastern edge, using Aard to bust the door down. Read the note on the table to acquire Red Miasmal’s bestiary entry. Read the entry, and then craft Reinald’s Philter.
The next phase sees you continuing further into the tunnels, fighting off more Plague Victims until you reach a pair of large wooden doors with the final letter attached.
Should you give Reinald the potion?
Inside the room is Reinald and, more importantly, the Red Miasmal possessing him. Use Aard to break Reinald’s shackles, and make sure you don’t give him the Reinald potion. You need it, and if you give it over, the Miasmal just throws it away.
Geralt will automatically drink it and gain a buff against the Miasmal, though at the cost of a chunk of his humanity. If you have White Honey on hand, make sure to use it and lower Geralt’s toxicity levels.
Since Reinald is technically a spirit, you can slow his movement temporarily by casting the Yrden sign. During this phase of the fight, Reinald will occasionally use Quen and summon a shield. When that happens, hold off attacking so you don’t waste your stamina. Use your regular attacks and the Aard sign to deal the most damage, and play aggressively. Reinald recovers health during this phase of the fight if you leave him be for too long.
Eventually, Geralt drives the Red Miasmal from Reinald’s body, which means it’s on to round two against the Miasmal itself. Yrden still works against it, so use that sign to trap the Miasmal momentarily while you whittle its health down. At 50 percent health and then again at 25 percent, the Miasmal will summon Plague Victims. Take them out before attending to the Miasmal again.
At the end of the fight, you get the Forgotten Wolf School Witcher diagram set, a scavenger hunt you can only take on in Kaer Morhen once you reach level 20.

Two choices make a difference in the outcome. If you want the good ending, pick the following two:
- Not all priests are wicked
- Don’t need a church to do good, priest
Scavenger Hunt: Forgotten Wolf School Gear
After having completed In The Eternal Fire's Shadow and picking up the Forgotten Wolf School Witcher diagram set as a result of it, it's now time to finally get your hands on the Netflix gear that you've been looking for in The Witcher 3.
This diagram refers to a Scavenger Hunt in Kaer Morhen, which will see you entering the castle to retrieve Osmund's notes. Follow your quest marker to get your hands on them, alongside a note from Vesemir, and read them both. Reading them will unlock the crafting recipe needed to craft the Netflix armor, which is also known as the Forgotten Wolven armor.
Now, you just need to go about foraging for the crafting materials needed to make the armor set! Good luck.
