How to obtain: These two armor sets are rewards for signing into your GOG account and will allow you to access the new sets of armor and sword from whichever account you access to game from that is connected to your GOG account. Hence, these can be unlocked through the PC, PS5, and the Xbox Series X versions of the game. Once you've connected and synchronized your game saves, you can head to the Royal Palace in Vizima after you've completed the quest Imperial Audience, wherein you'll meet Yennefer in her Bedchamber after meeting Emperor Emhyr for the first time in the game. This means you'll have to complete the White Orchard questline, meaning you should have progressed quite some ways at this point before you get these armor sets.
In case your save file finds you away from the Royal Palace of Vizima, that's not a problem either. You can simply fast-travel to the signpost at the courtyard of the Royal Palace of Vizima. From there, head through the corridors directly to your left and then turn right at the corner. You'll find Yennefer's Bedchamber to your left at the end of the hallway. There should be a chest here containing both armor sets, at the upper left corner of the room.

How to obtain: To obtain Henry Cavill's Netflix show-inspired armor set, you will have to go through two side-quests: In the Eternal Fire's Shadow which in turn unlocks Scavenger Hunt: Forgotten Wolf School Gear Diagrams.
To activate the first quest, the player will have to find the priest of the Eternal Fire just west of the Devil's Pit signpost in Velen. He wears a funny-looking set of glasses, so he shouldn't be hard to find. Completing the entire questline – which has Geraly exploring a mine and defeating a red miasmal. In this questline, Geralt will also meet Reinald, who will clue him into the forgotten Wolven armor. After speaking with the ghost of Reinald, the player will have to return to Kaer Morhen and find Osmund's notes, then Vesemir's note, which will then unlock the ability to forge the Forgotten Wolf armor set.
How to upgrade: The Netflix-inspired Forgotten Wolven Armor Set can be crafted, so it can also be upgraded up to Grandmaster quality. This will require the completion of the Of Swords and Dumplings questline in Novigrad that will teach Geralt how to craft his own Mastercrafted and Grandmaster quality equipment. Just like other Witcher Gear, achieving Grandmaster quality will change the look of the equipment, but the Netflix-inspired Forgotten Wolven Armor Set actually changes significantly in terms of its look – something that those who have watched both seasons of The Witcher would appreciate seeing.
