In the expansive world of *Avowed*, the Living Lands are brimming with resources essential for upgrading your weapons and armor. Among these, the four types of Adra stand out as the rarest and most valuable materials. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain all four types of Adra in *Avowed*.
How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed
In *Avowed*, you'll encounter four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each type has varying levels of rarity and value, and the higher the quality of the weapon or armor you aim to upgrade, the rarer the Adra you'll need. For instance, achieving Legendary Quality for a weapon necessitates the use of Adra Bán.
The more valuable types of Adra are found in the game's more challenging areas. As you venture into increasingly difficult zones, enemy stats escalate, necessitating gear upgrades that require rarer Adra types. These higher-tier Adra are typically exclusive to these zones. However, you can craft lower-tier Adra into higher-tier forms at a Party Camp, though this is less efficient than directly finding the higher forms in their designated zones. Here's where each type of Adra begins to spawn across the Living Lands:
- Base Adra will spawn starting in Dawnshore
- Awakened Adra will spawn starting in the Emerald Stair Region
- Corrupted Adra will spawn starting in the Shatterscarp Region
- Adra Bán can spawn in Galawain’s Tusks and the final unnamed section of the game
Every Way to Get Adra in Avowed
The type of Adra you encounter scales with the region you're exploring. Adra is often awarded in significant story segments, such as after completing a boss fight. For example, defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore's early sections will reward you with Adra, while taking down mini-bosses in the game's final section can yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these challenging story sections, there are several general methods to acquire the four types of Adra across the Living Lands:
- Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants dealing in weapons, armor, and magic within major settlements like Dawnshore’s Paradis or Shatterscarp’s Thirdborn will have limited stocks of Adra for sale.
- Looting: Adra can be found as loot, particularly from defeating named enemies, such as bosses or mini-bosses, in both main and side quests. Additionally, lock boxes scattered throughout the Living Lands may contain Adra, so keep ample Lockpicks handy and explore hidden areas.
- Crafting: Breaking down Unique weapons and armor often yields Adra, with the type and quality scaling according to the item's rarity. Lower-quality Adra can be upgraded at a Party Camp to higher forms.
- Strangled Adra: These are significant collectibles found throughout the Living Lands. Strangled Adra pillars, which are sparse and scattered across various regions, often require solving puzzles to free the Adra for collection.
With this guide, you're well-equipped to gather all four types of Adra in *Avowed* and enhance your gear to tackle the game's toughest challenges.
*Avowed is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.*
