Beginner’s Tips In Avowed

Players get thrown into the vast world of Avowed without any prior warning, so it could get confusing in some places. There are many small details you might miss that will crucially affect your experience in the Living Lands.

As the Envoy and the companions are trying to solve the mystery behind the Dreamscourge, they will face many obstacles in various shapes and forms, such as tough enemy bosses or annoying obstacles that are only removed by using a certain element. For that, this article will list some tips that you can use when first entering the world of Avowed.

Kill The Priest When Fighting Enemy Groups

In most enemy groups in the Living Lands, players might encounter a priest among them. This is problematic as these types of enemies will not only heal themselves but also the surrounding enemies.

So, if you feel like a certain enemy’s health is endless and seems unable to die, search for the priest-type enemies. They're usually chanting a spell and glowing green, so they're not hard to find.

10

Search Bodies For Rare Items

Upon defeating an enemy of any kind, the body will contain items that you can loot most of the time. At the beginning of Avowed, the materials Envoy picks up are not that important or impressive, but they will be later on in the game.

Around mid-game and end-game, enemies will start dropping rare items, including crafting materials that are tier Exceptional and above. These will be harder to get later on as you either buy them or craft them by sacrificing other resources.

God totems are special items that are well hidden in every region of Avowed. First, you need to collect the base as without it, none of the totems can be placed and activated.

Players will stumble upon the pieces while exploring, and they can always buy a scroll from certain merchants that indicates the location of the totems cryptically. Once you have the base and totems, place them at the shrine in any camp to benefit from the various buffs they offer. Don't forget to activate it.

Complete Side Quests And Explore For Easy XP

Leveling up, in the beginning, is a bit difficult as most of the battles reward very little XP. You need XP to gain more ability points and character points, and some quests will indicate that you are under-leveled. Therefore, players will suffer while completing it.

When you prioritize side quests in Avowed, the Envoy will gain XP quickly and level up. Additionally, exploring new areas and unlocking Waypoints and camp spots will also reward XP, so make sure to do a lot of exploration before moving on to another region.

7

Send Unnecessary Equipment Back To Camp

Weight determines players' movement in Avowed. Being under the maximum weight means the Envoy is moving freely and attacks fast to deal as much damage as possible.

To avoid being overweight and becoming an easy target in battle, players can open the character menu and send heavy equipment such as weapons and armor back to the camp stash. Back at the camp, you can open the storage chest and go through them slowly.

6

Eat Food When Out Of HP And Essence

Both the health and essence potions are either looted from corpses, found while exploring, or bought from merchants in Avowed. Since players might not have luck finding them in the wild nor the money to buy any potions, you can open the Inventory menu and eat some of the food you have.

Each food and drink gives a certain amount of HP and essence, and some only restore one kind. Also, some dishes or special drinks can buff players for some time or completely remove status effects.

5

Complete Bounties To Get Money

Collecting money is actually not that hard as you will find Currency everywhere while exploring the Living Lands. The problem is that the amount found is always insignificantly small and one can barely buy a single health potion.

Simoleons might be hard to come by in The Sims 2, but these means of earning a wage are completely cheat-free.

Luckily for players, every region in the Living Lands offers various bounty side quests that you can complete to earn a lot of money. After killing each bounty enemy, collect evidence and return to the marked NPC and give them the proof to earn the Currency.

4

Always Buy Lockpicks

Lockpicks are obviously used to pick the locks on closed doors and chests. As you have no knowledge when a locked chest or door might appear while exploring, make sure to always have some lockpicks ready to open everything. Usually, locked doors and chests always lead to a rare material and a decent amount of Currency.

The Envoy can usually find some lockpicks while looting bodies, or purchase them from merchants in the Living Lands. Try to have more than one because some locks require three lockpicks to open.

3

Break Equipment To Get Materials

If you encounter any armor or weapon that may seem unnecessary as it’s lower quality than what you have, pick everything up regardless, as there is a benefit from collecting it.

There are some companions that go above and beyond, deserving recognition outside the main character's shadow.

Open the menu, and there is a button in the bottom right corner of the screen guiding you to press once if you wish to send the item to camp or long press to break down the equipment. By breaking down items you don’t need, you get some crafting materials for free. The Envoy can see which item they get from the equipment’s details.

2

Keep Throwables Or Grimoire With You

While exploring the vast world of the Living Lands, you will stumble upon mechanisms or obstacles that require a certain element to bypass it. If players don’t have the correct companion, or they didn’t choose to be a Wizard, make sure to always have a low quality Grimoire with you, even if you never use it.

You will have basic spells at your disposal which you can use to overcome obstacles. Additionally, the Envoy can also collect all types of throwables from shops or looted bodies to remove an obstacle or activate the mechanism.

1

Save Before Making A Choice

Most of the quests in Avowed require you to make a choice that will affect the NPC’s life. Some of these choices are important to the point that even the Envoy will suffer the consequences later on.

So, when you feel a choice is about to be made, make sure to save the game before starting the conversation. This way, if you don’t like the outcome, you can load the save and choose another dialogue option. If players already chose an option, they can still go back by loading the closest auto-save available.
