The Ranger Costume
Boots (courtyard, war room)
Start in the room with the collapsed roof where you push the wooden beam to create a platform outside. Go outside on to the beam, cross over to the ladder and climb it to make your way onto some wooden beams/floor remains. There is a what looks like a barred wooden window.
Throw something at it to knock it down and create a ladder. Climb up and through to find a chest that contains the boots.
Tunic (sewers, torture chamber)
Just below the passageway where you get the sewer map is a room with a metal grill door that leads into a torture chamber. The tunic is in the chest there.
Mask (sewers, distiliary key tunnels)
In a chest accessed via the tunnels between Fautus’ room and the leech room. Take the distiliary key hanging from a light up the steps from Faustus to open the gate to those tunnels.
Hood (courtyard, gallery)
The gallery is the long corridor with a single rat guard stood (the commander’s guard) half-way along it and with a chest at one end and a cabinet at the other. Steal the gallery chest key from the guard (the easiest way is to just wear the guard uniform and walk straight up to him), and unlock the chest to get the hood.
Belt (shore, stone building/chest)
The belt is in a chest in the remains of a small stone building at the shore.
The Thief Costume
Hat (catacombs, ledge)

Tunic (harbour, rock ledge)
The tunic is on a narrow rock ledge, accessible by jumping to it from one of the bridges.
Belt (courtyard, war room)
In the war room (the large room with a dining table next to a large fireplace), collect the war room keys from on top of the cupbaord next to the steps that lead up to the balcony. Unlock the chest in the alcove to get the belt.
Boots (courtyard, secret tunnel)
In the cell next to Gusto and Fatale, move the barrel to reveal a secret passage. Go down the passage, turn left, and make your way to the end to find a chest with the boots.
