Yes. During the Run! quest, you can get guard armor without picking a lock by finding a sleeping guard in a Talmberg tower, knocking him out, and taking his gear. Then equip the pieces for the disguise and speak with Radim at the gate. The disguise may help you leave, but it does not guarantee passage.
Get armor from a sleeping guard
- Continue the Talmberg sequence until the escape objective in Run! is active.
- Search a guard tower for a sleeping guard. The quest walkthrough places one on an upper floor, though the exact room and timing may vary with your progress.
- Knock the guard out and take his armor. This avoids the locked storage chest entirely.
- Equip the guard gear needed for the disguise. Talmberg or Skalitz guard equipment can work; ask Lady Stephanie if you want her advice on whether your outfit is adequate.
- Go to the gate and speak with Radim. Try the disguise approach; he may be persuaded or bribed, but wearing the armor alone does not ensure he will let you through.
This sleeping-guard method is the more dependable lock-free armor route described by the Run! quest walkthrough and a player forum discussion.
Is there an unlocked armor chest?
Possibly, but do not count on it. Players in a 2018 forum discussion disagree about whether a tower chest is unlocked, and a later guide describes the armor chest as locked. A gameplay-video description also reports reaching an open chest after following someone into a tower and climbing a ladder. These accounts do not establish a chest location or state that works consistently across platforms or game versions.
If you happen to find an open chest, it may be a lock-free option in your playthrough. If not, use the sleeping-guard route rather than assuming a particular chest is unlocked.

Compare the lock-free escape options
| Route | Gets armor? | Lockpicking? | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Take gear from a sleeping guard | Yes | No | You must find the guard and take his worn gear. |
| Try a reported open tower chest | Possibly | No, if open | Player reports conflict, so availability is uncertain. |
| Jump from the drawbridge | No | No | Skips the disguise, but the fall may injure Henry and guards may pursue. |
Leave without armor if needed
Armor is optional if your priority is simply getting out of Talmberg. You can jump from the drawbridge instead, but be ready for possible injury and pursuit. Depending on what happens after the jump, you may need to run or deal with the guards.

Who to speak with in Talmberg
- Lady Stephanie: She can advise Henry about obtaining armor and the escape plan. She may offer money if he says he is short on coin; the guides differ on the amount, so no specific sum is reliable here.
- Radim: The gate guard to approach when trying to leave in a disguise. The armor route is not an automatic pass.
- Sir Robard: Important to the Talmberg sequence, but the quest walkthrough says he does not grant Henry the requested order to leave.
