In the expansive world of *Avowed*, the Living Lands are teeming with resources essential for upgrading your weapons and armor. Among these, the four types of Adra stand out as the most rare and valuable. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain all four types of Adra in *Avowed*.
How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed
*Avowed* features four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each type varies in rarity and value, and the higher the Quality of the weapon or armor you're aiming to upgrade, the rarer the Adra you'll need. For instance, to elevate a weapon to Legendary Quality, you'll require Adra Bán.
Higher-value Adra types are typically found in more challenging parts of the game. As you delve deeper into increasingly difficult zones, enemy stats will escalate, necessitating gear upgrades. This means you'll need rarer forms of Adra, which are usually exclusive to these tougher areas. While it's possible to craft lower-tier Adra into higher-tier forms at a Party Camp, this method is less efficient than directly finding the higher-tier Adra in those zones. Here's where each type of Adra begins to spawn:
- Base Adra starts spawning in Dawnshore.
- Awakened Adra starts spawning in the Emerald Stair Region.
- Corrupted Adra starts spawning in the Shatterscarp Region.
- Adra Bán can be found 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 within the game's four main areas. Adra is often rewarded in key story sections, such as after defeating bosses. For example, taking down Ygwulf in the early sections of Dawnshore will grant you Adra, while defeating mini-bosses in *Avowed*'s final section will yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these significant story moments, there are several other ways to acquire the four types of Adra across the Living Lands:
- Purchasing from Merchants: You can buy Adra from merchants who specialize in weapons, armor, and magic. These merchants are primarily found in major settlements such as Paradis in Dawnshore or Thirdborn in Shatterscarp, though their stock of Adra is limited.
- Looting: Adra can be discovered as loot, often from defeating named enemies like bosses or mini-bosses during main or side quests. Keep an eye out for lock boxes, and make sure to carry plenty of Lockpicks as you explore hidden areas off the main path.
- Crafting: Breaking down Unique weapons and armor will often yield Adra, with the type and amount scaling with the item's Quality. Additionally, you can upgrade lower-quality Adra to higher-quality forms at a Party Camp.
- Strangled Adra: This is a primary collectible found scattered throughout the Living Lands. These large Adra pillars are rare and usually come with puzzles that must be solved to free the Adra for collection.
And there you have it, a complete guide on how to obtain all four types of Adra in *Avowed*. Happy hunting!
