This guide will tell The Witcher 3 step by step what the legendary Manticore armor does to get an answer to the question - read on.
Of all the chest armor in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one of the Manticore School witchers is arguably the best. Here's how to get it. Of all the chest armor in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, one of the Manticore School witchers is arguably the best in the game. Along with matching boots, gauntlets, pants, and swords, the Manticore Legendary Set is a great choice for any player who has the Blood and Wine expansion.
However, it is only available in New Game+, so players should only bother to purchase this set on their second playthrough (or later). The part of the chest, known in-game as the Legendary Manticore Armor, requires some unusual and rare ingredients to craft, however the diagram is the most important component and can only be found in the quest (also from the Blood and Wine expansion) Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Manticore gear."
Legendary Manticore Armor has great effects such as providing 26% pierce resistance, 33% slash resistance, 36% monster damage resistance, and 30% increased critical damage, and has 3 slots.
Crafting Components Without Diagrams
None of these components are hard to find, though it does require the right components or luck and money, which can be obtained from vendors.

Witchers wishing to obtain any Grandmaster level Witch gear should speak to Lazarus Lafargue (also exclusive to the Blood and Wine expansion). This will give the player a chance to start the Scavenger Hunt: Manticore Grandmaster Equipment quest.
In this quest, Geralt must find 6 diagrams for each part of the Manticore Legendary Set, which are thankfully marked on the map. The armor schematic is the second piece the quest will lead the player to, and it is on a wall of loose pages on stone bricks in a dark cave.
And that's all there is to know about what the Manticore's legendary armor does. The Witcher 3.
