"Discovering All 4 Adra Types in Avowed: A Guide"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 03,2025

In the expansive world of *Avowed*, known as the Living Lands, players can gather various resources essential for upgrading their weapons and armor. Among these resources, the four types of Adra stand out as the rarest and most valuable. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain each type of Adra in *Avowed*.

How Adra Spawns and Scales in Avowed

*Avowed* features four distinct types of Adra: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each type varies in rarity and value, with higher quality gear upgrades requiring rarer Adra. For instance, upgrading a weapon to Legendary Quality demands the use of Adra Bán.

The more valuable Adra types are located in the game's more challenging regions. As you advance through tougher areas, enemy difficulty increases, necessitating gear upgrades, which in turn require higher rarity Adra found in these zones. While lower-tier Adra can be crafted into higher-tier forms at a Party Camp, this method is less efficient than directly finding the higher forms in their respective zones. Here's where each type of Adra begins to spawn:

  • Base Adra: Starts spawning in Dawnshore
  • Awakened Adra: Starts spawning in the Emerald Stair Region
  • Corrupted Adra: Starts spawning in the Shatterscarp Region
  • Adra Bán: Can spawn in Galawain’s Tusks and the final unnamed section of the game

The type of Adra you encounter scales with the region you're exploring. Adra is often rewarded in significant story segments, such as after defeating a boss. For example, defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore will yield Base Adra, while mini-bosses in the game's final sections drop Adra Bán.

Beyond these challenging story encounters, there are several other methods to acquire the four types of Adra across the Living Lands:

  • Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants who specialize in weapons, armor, and magic also sell limited quantities of Adra. These merchants are typically found in major settlements like Paradis in Dawnshore and 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. Keep an eye out for lock boxes, and make sure to carry Lockpicks to explore hidden areas off the beaten path.
  • Crafting: Breaking down Unique weapons and armor will yield Adra, with the type depending on the item's quality. Lower-quality Adra can be upgraded to higher tiers at a Party Camp.
  • Strangled Adra: These are main collectibles in the Living Lands, appearing as large pillars of Adra. They are scattered across various regions and often require solving puzzles to unlock the Adra within.

By utilizing these methods, you'll be able to gather all four types of Adra in *Avowed*, enhancing your gear and preparing for the game's toughest challenges.

*Avowed is now available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and through Xbox Game Pass.*
