Dark Mode is a new difficulty level which was introduced with the Version 2.0 patch for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. It is described as similar in difficulty to the "Insane" mode while allowing the player to save their game. It also comes with three sets of special "Dark Mode" armor and weapons, listed below.
Difficulty level
The ‘Dark’ difficulty setting is the most demanding difficulty level in gameplay terms. Under this setting, each and every foe represents a significant challenge. In addition to raising the difficulty bar, the module includes several new sets of equipment/items that are linked through a dark legend detailed in the Journal. Once all their components have been collected and donned, the Blasphemer’s, Oathbreaker’s and Kinslayer’s outfits provide great advantages in combat. The swords included in the outfits strip opponents of Vitality while supplementing the witcher’s. However, given that they are cursed, the swords provide no benefit and harm Geralt by sapping him of Vitality as long as the outfits to which they belong remain incomplete.
The Blasphemer's Outfit
This armor set is attainable only while playing on Dark difficulty level in Chapter I. To craft the armor set, visit Berthold Candeleria, the dwarven blacksmith in Flotsam. You'll need to spend a lot of money and crafting ingredients, so you might wish to prepare for that. There are six items that comprise the whole armor set:
- Blasphemer's armor
- Blasphemer's boots
- Blasphemer's gauntlets
- Blasphemer's trousers
- Anathema
- Ultimatum
The total cost of diagrams is 1996 orens (Armor 801, Boots 101, Gauntlets 161, Trousers 131, Anathema 401, Ultimatum 401). Money required to craft them equals 515 coins (150 + 25 + 40 + 40 + 135 + 125, respectively).
To completely construct all items you will also need, 5x Timber, 16x Iron ore, 12x Silver ore, 16x Hardened leather, 20x Studded leather, 20x Robust cloth, 4x Twine, 9x Nekker teeth, 8x Nekker claws, 5x Endrega hide, 2x Endrega venom, 2x Yellow meteorite, 5x Diamond dust, 4x Amethyst dust.
The Oathbreaker's Outfit
To craft the armor set, visit Lasota, the Kaedweni blacksmith in the camp (Roche's path) or Mael (Iorveth's path). You'll need to spend a lot of money and crafting ingredients, so you might wish to prepare for that. There are six items that comprise the whole armor set:
- Oathbreaker's armor
- Oathbreaker's boots
- Oathbreaker's gauntlets
- Oathbreaker's trousers
- Virgin
- Black Unicorn
The total cost of diagrams is 3836 orens (Armor 1501, Boots 201, Gauntlets 201, Trousers 551, Virgin 751, Black Unicorn 631). Money required to craft them equals 1190 coins (550 + 70 + 60 + 135 + 200 + 175, respectively). Which amounts to 5026 orens in total (not counting materials you may have to buy, as listed below).
To completely construct all items you will also need, 5x Timber, 16x Iron ore, 14x Silver ore, 18x Hardened leather, 20x Studded leather, 20x Robust cloth, 10x Twine, 11x Essence of death, 6x Harpy feathers,1x Draugir armor fragment, 2x Blue meteorite, 3x Diamond dust, 7x Amethyst dust.
An easy and very fast way to obtain the Oathbreaker's Outfit and weapons in the second chapter is to farm Harpies. On your way to the Visionary's house (Northeast of the Kaedweni Camp) you get attacked by several of them. They will simply respawn by stepping into the circle of candles, in front of the house, and stepping back out. Harpie feathers can be sold for 9 gold each, the rest of the drops for 4 gold. This is a quick way to make money and obtain all the items for the outfit.
The Kinslayer's Outfit
The diagrams of the Kinslayer's Outfit, scattered throughout Loc Muinne. You'll need to spend a lot of money and crafting ingredients, so you might wish to prepare for that. There are six items that comprise the whole armor set:

Money required to craft them equals 1625 coins (750 + 100 + 100 + 150 + 250 + 275, respectively). Which amounts to 7931 orens in total (not counting the materials you may have to buy, as listed below).
