Artefacts of the Tyrant is a quest in Act One of Divinity: Original Sin II. It is initiated by reading Magister's Journal or obtaining any piece of armour in the set.

Objectives

The sequence and content of quests may vary based on party choices.

Find the ancient armour.
We read of the 'Artefacts of the Tyrant'. A powerful suit of armour, it must be equipped in its entirety, lest the armour be cursed.

Find the rest of the armour.
One senses that the 'Tyrant's Stride' may hinder, not help. Holding the 'Tracks of the Tyrant' gives one an odd crippling sensation. A scorching aura burns from the 'Heart of the Tyrant'. It may be too hot to handle. There's something demonic about the 'Tyrant's Helm'. The 'Hands of the Tyrant' have a strange, pestilential aura.

Quest complete.
Only when Braccus Rex's armour is complete can one wear it with ease.

There are 5 armor pieces in total:

Corrupted Tyrant's Helm in the Decrepit Ruins after infusing the Shrine of Braccus Rex with Source
Heart of the Tyrant in the Dark Cavern, accessible via the Hollow Marshes
The Hands of the Tyrant in the Tower of Braccus Rex in one of the sarcophagus behind the magic wall in the Hollow Marshes
Tyrant's Stride in the Ancient Passage beneath Fort Joy
Tracks of the Tyrant carried by Lorenzo in the tower on the northern coastline at   X: 427  Y: 298

Walkthrough

Upon reaching the ancient passage in Withermoore's Soul Jar, two statues can be found on the east and west sides. Interacting with the west statue at   X: 362  Y: 552  , a wits check will be performed. With at least 15 wits, you will pass the persuasion check and receive the Tyrant's Stride, the leggings for this armour set.

Upon reaching the Hollow Marshes, the other four pieces may be found in any order.

Tracks of the Tyrant, the boots of this armour set, is found atop a tower located at   X: 429  Y: 295  . You must have a teleportation ability in order to retrieve this armour piece from Lorenzo's body.

After completing Most Dangerous When Cornered, near the 'Hollow Marshes - Ruined Castle' waypoint is a door at   X: 468  Y: 240   associated with The Armoury. Completing this quest gives you the Tyrant's Helm, the helmet for this armour set.

Upon completing the The Vault of Braccus Rex, the Heart of the Tyrant, the chest armour, is found on the floor in the same room as Trompdoy's soul jar.

Lastly, the Hands of the Tyrant are in a coffin in the Tower of Braccus Rex, which can be retrieved after completing The Gargoyle's Maze. The tower, associated with A Fate Worse than Death, is protected by 3 undead necromancers. At the northernmost end of the tower, using a source point can deactivate the barrier leading you to the two coffins. You must have 18+ strength in order to open the coffin lids.

Wearing all 5 armour pieces at the same time removes the individual cursed effects.

Tutorial

Enter the Ancient Passage
Interact with the west statue using a party member with 15+ Wits to obtain Tyrant's Stride
Reach the Hollow Marshes
Follow the northern beach until you find the broken tower at   X: 429  Y: 295  
1. Use teleportation ability to get up, and loot Lorenzo's body for Tracks of the Tyrant
Rescue Gareth in Most Dangerous When Cornered and enter Braccus' Armoury
1. This initiates The Armoury. Complete the quest for Tyrant's Helm
Complete The Vault of Braccus Rex and obtain Heart of the Tyrant in the final room, along with all nearby Soul Jars
Complete The Gargoyle's Maze
Complete A Fate Worse than Death one of two ways:
1. Destroy the 3 necromancer's soul jars from earlier
2. Defeat the 3 necromancers in combat
Using the key from one of their bodies, traverse the tower until you get to the northernmost end of the tower
Use a Source Point to deactivate the barrier leading you to the two coffins
With ≥18 strength, open both coffins to find the Hands of the Tyrant

Notes

If you use the purge ability that comes with the Corrupted Tyrant's Helm 3 times, Krylr the Kettlegrinder will summon, initiating combat.
The new helmet Krylr drops comes with Shackles of Pain.
