In Avowed, upgrading weapons and armor requires various resources, but none are as crucial—or as rare—as the four types of Adra. This guide details how to acquire all four: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán.
Adra Spawning and Scaling in Avowed
The rarity and value of each Adra type vary, directly impacting the quality of upgrades. Legendary quality upgrades, for example, exclusively require Adra Bán. Higher-quality upgrades necessitate rarer Adra, typically found in later, more challenging game areas. While lower-tier Adra can be crafted into higher tiers at a Party Camp, this is less efficient than finding higher-tier Adra directly in those advanced zones. Here's where each Adra type begins to appear:
- Base Adra: Dawnshore
- Awakened Adra: Emerald Stair Region
- Corrupted Adra: Shatterscarp Region
- Adra Bán: Galawain’s Tusks and the final, unnamed game area.
All Ways to Obtain Adra in Avowed
The type of Adra you encounter scales with your current region. Major story events, such as boss battles (like defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore, which rewards Adra), often grant Adra. Mini-boss defeats in the final game area yield Adra Bán.
Beyond these key encounters, Adra can be acquired in several ways:
- Merchants: Many merchants in major settlements (like Paradis in Dawnshore or Thirdborn in Shatterscarp) sell limited quantities of Adra.
- Loot: Named enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) and lockboxes frequently contain Adra. Remember to carry lockpicks and explore thoroughly!
- Crafting: Dismantling unique weapons and armor yields Adra, with the amount scaling with item quality. Lower-quality Adra can be upgraded at a Party Camp.
- Strangled Adra: These large Adra pillars, scattered across the Living Lands, often require puzzle solving to unlock.
That's how to acquire all four types of Adra in Avowed.
Avowed is available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
