Where to Find Waterbreathing Armor

Here are all the pieces of equipment with waterbreathing that don’t randomly spawn on enemies. Some of these do require DLCs:

Volsung Mask

In order to obtain this mask, you’ll have to defeat the dragon priest Volsung, who can be found in Volskygge. While this mask has the Waterbreathing enchantment, you can’t disenchant it to learn the enchantment.

Ebony Helmet

To obtain it, reach level 80 in theDragonbornDLC anddefeat the Ebony Warriorin one of the main cities. You can disenchant it to learn Waterbreathing.

Deathbrand Helm

To get this helm, followDragonbornDLC’s Deathbrand quest. The helm will be located in the chest marked by the Deathbrand Treasure Map.

Necklace of Waterbreathing

There are a few ways to get this piece of armor. The easiest is avoiding leveling up the skill tree and buying it at level one for 800 gold from any general goods merchant. Another way is way more RNG-based - the necklace sometimes spawns on random women in any main city.

Enchanted Helmet

At Cradlecrush Rock, you can find a skeleton that will always have an enchanted helmet. Now, the helmet won’t have Waterbreathing every time, so save somewhere distant from Cradlecrush Rock andfast travel there. Repeat this until you get the helmet you need. You can also find two enchanted helmets on both sides of the treasure chest at the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon.

Circlet of Waterbreathing

To obtain the Circlet of Waterbreathing, you’ll need to enter the Inner Sanctum duringDawnguardDLC’s Touching the Sky quest. A frozen Falmer will be holding one of these in the room north of the main chamber.
