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 rarest and most valuable. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán in *Avowed*.
How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed
*Avowed* features four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and the pinnacle, Adra Bán. Each type varies in rarity and value, with higher-tier Adra required for the most elite upgrades. For instance, achieving Legendary Quality on your gear necessitates the use of Adra Bán.
The higher-value Adra types are found in progressively tougher areas of the game. As you delve deeper into challenging zones, enemy stats escalate, necessitating upgrades in your gear's Quality. This is where the rarer forms of Adra come into play, typically found in these advanced areas. While it's possible to craft lower-tier Adra into higher forms at a Party Camp, this method is less efficient than directly collecting the higher forms in their natural environments. Here's where you can start finding each type of Adra:
- Base Adra begins to spawn in Dawnshore.
- Awakened Adra can be found starting in the Emerald Stair Region.
- Corrupted Adra appears starting in the Shatterscarp Region.
- Adra Bán is available 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 in *Avowed*. Significant story milestones, such as boss fights, often reward you with Adra. For example, defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore's early sections will grant you Base Adra, while taking down mini-bosses in the game's final areas will yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these major story events, there are several other methods to acquire Adra throughout the Living Lands:
- Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants dealing in weapons, armor, and magic across the Living Lands also sell limited quantities of Adra. You'll find these merchants in major settlements like Paradis in Dawnshore or Thirdborn in Shatterscarp.
- Looting: Adra can be found as loot, especially from defeating named enemies like bosses or mini-bosses during main or side quests. Additionally, keep an eye out for lock boxes, which may contain Adra. Always carry Lockpicks and explore off the beaten path for hidden treasures.
- Crafting: Breaking down Unique weapons and armor can yield Adra, with the type and quality scaling with the item's Quality. Lower-quality Adra can also be upgraded to higher forms at a Party Camp.
- Strangled Adra: These are significant collectibles scattered across the Living Lands. Strangled Adra pillars are rare and often require solving puzzles to access the Adra within.
By utilizing these methods, you'll be well-equipped to gather all four types of Adra in *Avowed*, enhancing your gear to tackle the game's toughest challenges.
*Avowed is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.*
