While there are many ways to play your way through Baldur’s Gate 3, loot is always on the agenda. Whether you’re plowing headlong into battles, using diplomacy and lies to tread a diplomatic path, or sneaking and thieving between locations, you’ll want boosts to your stats. No matter which path you take, you’re likely to need some healing along the way, so a cleric such asShadowheartwill likely be in your party. If so, especially early in the game, equipping her with Luminous Armor is a great help. Read on for how to get it in BG3.
Where to find Luminous Armor - Map Location
You’ll find the Luminous Armor in the Selûnite Outpost, which is an area of the Underdark. However,some players are reporting the item is no longer there are the first major patch. There are a variety of ways to get to the Selûnite Outpost, but by far the easiest way I’ve found to get there is toaccess it from theGoblin Camp.
Once there, head into the Shattered Sanctum (1, on the map above) and through the door that leadsfrom the chambers of Priestess Gut, into the Defiled Temple(2, above). Follow the passage out of the temple (3, above) and down the ladder, which leads straight into the Selûnite Outpost.

Luminous Armor stats - Baldur’s Gate 3
As anuncommon medium armor with an AC of 15and 9 weight, with the usual +2 Dexterity bonus limit, I didn’t think too much of the Luminous Armor at first. However, it also gives the wearer the following ability:
If you’re playing a cleric or haveShadowheartin our party, this isone of the most powerful abilities you’ll find for them in Chapter 1. It will still be strong well into Chapter 2 as well, if not further. What it means is when you deal Radiant Damage (Guiding Bolt, Radiance of the Dawn, and especially Spirit Guardians), you also launch an AOE that reduces enemy attack rolls by 1 for each Radiating Orb that lands on them. Better still: these orbs stack, which can be a great help in larger battles.
