Mastering Adra Acquisition in Avowed: A Comprehensive Guide
In Obsidian's Avowed, upgrading weapons and armor requires various resources, but none are as crucial—or as 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 rarity and value of Adra types directly correlate with their in-game location and the difficulty of obtaining them. Higher-quality upgrades demand rarer Adra; for instance, Legendary-quality upgrades necessitate Adra Bán. While lower-tier Adra can be crafted into higher tiers at a Party Camp, this is less efficient than directly finding higher-tier Adra in later-game areas.
- Base Adra: Found in Dawnshore.
- Awakened Adra: Found starting in the Emerald Stair region.
- Corrupted Adra: Found starting in the Shatterscarp region.
- Adra Bán: Found in Galawain’s Tusks and the game's final area.
Multiple Avenues to Adra:
Acquiring Adra in Avowed involves several methods:
-
Story Progression and Combat: Significant story events, especially boss fights (like defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore), often reward Adra. Defeating mini-bosses in the late game yields Adra Bán.
-
Merchant Purchases: Many merchants in major settlements (Paradis in Dawnshore, Thirdborn in Shatterscarp) sell limited quantities of Adra.
-
Loot and Exploration: Named enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) frequently drop Adra as loot. Lockboxes in hidden areas also contain Adra; remember to carry lockpicks!
-
Crafting and Deconstruction: Disassembling unique weapons and armor yields Adra, the quality of the Adra reflecting the item's quality. Lower-tier Adra can be upgraded at Party Camps.
-
Strangled Adra: These large Adra pillars, scattered throughout the Living Lands, often require puzzle-solving to unlock.
By utilizing these methods, you can effectively gather all four Adra types to enhance your gear and conquer Avowed's challenges.
Avowed is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
