Armor Sets
Every set of armor, with the exception of the Armor of Brutus, needs to be periodically repaired. Watch your health bars carefully. Whenever you see one ringed in red, the armor is broken and can only be restored by visiting a Blacksmith. A second note is that you cannot equip the Vambraces until you have received the Double Blade from Leonardo.
