Mastering Adra Acquisition in Avowed: A Comprehensive Guide
In Obsidian's Avowed, upgrading your weapons and armor requires various resources, but none are as crucial—or rare—as the four Adra types: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. This guide details how to obtain each.
Adra Rarity and Location:
The Adra types vary in rarity and value, directly impacting the quality of your gear upgrades. Legendary-quality upgrades, for instance, necessitate Adra Bán. Higher-tier Adra is typically found in more challenging game areas, reflecting the increased enemy stats you'll encounter. While lower-tier Adra can be upgraded at a Party Camp, this is less efficient than directly finding higher-tier Adra in the appropriate regions. Here's a regional breakdown of Adra spawns:
- Base Adra: Dawnshore
- Awakened Adra: Emerald Stair Region
- Corrupted Adra: Shatterscarp Region
- Adra Bán: Galawain’s Tusks and the game's final area.
Multiple Avenues to Adra Acquisition:
Your Adra acquisition success hinges on exploring the game's four main regions. Key story moments, such as defeating bosses (like Ygwulf in Dawnshore or mini-bosses in the late game), often reward Adra.
Beyond these pivotal encounters, several methods exist:
- Merchant Purchases: Many merchants in major settlements (Paradis in Dawnshore, Thirdborn in Shatterscarp) sell limited Adra.
- Loot Acquisition: Defeating named enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) and exploring lockboxes (requiring lockpicks) can yield Adra.
- Crafting: Disassembling unique weapons and armor provides Adra, the quality of the item determining the Adra type received. Lower-tier Adra can also be upgraded at a Party Camp.
- Strangled Adra: These large Adra pillars, scattered throughout the Living Lands, often require puzzle-solving to unlock.
By employing these strategies, you'll effectively gather the Adra necessary to enhance your weaponry and armor, ensuring you're well-equipped for Avowed's challenges.
Avowed is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
