Skellige Gambeson Map Location and Quest Guide

Rufus gives Geralt the Skellige Gambeson diagram during Strangers in the Night, an unmarked secondary quest at a campfire on the riverbank east of the Eternal Fire Chapel and west of the Vegelbud Residence. The pin marks the diagram. It comes only from siding with Rufus against Manfred.

Go to the riverbank east of the Eternal Fire Chapel and west of the Vegelbud Residence, where Manfred, Rufus and Theophile Maria Rosco sit around a campfire.
Sit down with them and give the name Geralt. Refusing to give a name makes Rufus and Manfred attack.
Ask about the world. Manfred's knowledge of the war makes Rufus suspicious, and he tries to arrest Manfred.
Tell them both to calm down.
Agree to help Rufus hold Manfred. Rufus kills Manfred and gives Geralt the Skellige Gambeson diagram.
