In Avowed, Paradisan Ladder is a crucial, rare upgrade material. This guide details five methods to acquire it:
1. Purchasing from Merilyn: Merilyn, a merchant in South Paradise (map location shown below), sells Paradisan Ladder and items containing it. Her stock doesn't replenish, so act fast.
2. Foraging: Explore the game world. Paradisan Ladder plants are marked on your mini-map with a plant icon (see image below). Be aware of similar-looking plants.
3. Side Quests: Many side quests reward Paradisan Ladder. "Escape Plan," for example, provides some.
4. Item Deconstruction: Disassemble weapons or armor upgraded with Paradisan Ladder to recover some of the material. Check merchant inventories for items with Paradisan Ladder in their breakdown components.
5. Downgrading Hylea's Talon: Once you reach Emerald Stair and obtain Hylea's Talon (a higher-tier material), you can downgrade it at your workbench to obtain three Paradisan Ladder per Talon. This is useful for quickly upgrading a different weapon type.
Mastering these methods ensures a steady supply of Paradisan Ladder for your upgrades in Avowed.
