While we've already covered our recommendations for the best skills to unlock early in The Blood of Dawnwalker, there are some more advanced skills that deserve special attention. In this case, we're going to explain how to unlock Second Skin I and II. These skills allow you to wear Medium and Heavy Armour while reducing, and eventually removing, their stat penalties.

How to unlock Second Skin I

As with many other skills, you'll need to find the corresponding Manuals before you can unlock these abilities. They can appear as random loot from enemies and chests, but there are also guaranteed places where you can buy them: certain Armourers around Vale Sangora. Start with the Armourers in Svartrau City, in the central part of the map. You can see their locations below:

Between these two merchants, you can buy Second Skin I and Second Skin II Manuals. Buy the copies you still need, as you'll need Manuals to unlock the different ranks of these skills. Remember to check your skill tree first in case you already have access to the maximum rank you need, so you don't spend money unnecessarily. If you still need another Second Skin I Manual, you can buy one from the Maragir Armourer, in the Maragir Wealds.

Next, you'll need Second Skin II Manuals. As mentioned above, you can buy two of them from the Armourers in Svartrau City. Another can be purchased from the Tantari Armourer, south of St. Tyna's Grove.

Remember that you need to read the Manuals from your inventory before their corresponding skill upgrades become available.
