You will find the Steel Sword diagram on the top of the Bastoy Prison tower. Use the Witcher Senses to find the diagram stuck to the stone wall.
The chest piece is located in a cave south of the Termes Palace Ruins. Once in the cave, you will see a bunch of notes on its walls. On the back wall, you will find the diagram you seek.
Trousers and Boots of the Manticore Armor in The Witcher 3 are located in the temple north of the Prophet Lebioda Statue. Once inside a temple, you will find a weak wall that you should break easily with Aard. Diagrams are on the table in the corner.
The Gauntlets diagram of the Manticore Armor in The Witcher 3 is at the bottom of the lake northeast of Basane Farm.
Your last diagram is the Manticore Silver Sword, and it is found in a cave southwest of the Palace Gardens. There will be some monsters to slay and some beggars that will take away your coins. Use Aard on a wall to progress through the cave until you reach an altar on which you will see the diagrams.
