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

Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

In the immersive world of *Avowed*, exploring the Living Lands will lead you to various resources essential for upgrading your weapons and armor. Among these, the four types of Adra stand out as the rarest and most valuable materials. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain all four types 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 the highest tier, Adra Bán, required for upgrading items to Legendary Quality. The more valuable Adra types are found in tougher game zones, where enemy stats are higher, necessitating gear upgrades that demand rarer Adra.

While lower-tier Adra can be crafted into higher-tier forms at a Party Camp, this method is less efficient than directly acquiring higher forms in the challenging areas where they spawn. Here's where each type of Adra begins to appear:

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

Every Way to Get Adra in Avowed

Adra in Avowed

Adra acquisition scales with the region you're exploring in *Avowed*. You can obtain Adra by completing major story sections, such as defeating bosses like Ygwulf in Dawnshore, or by tackling mini-bosses in the game's final sections, which may drop Adra Bán.

Beyond these challenging encounters, you have several other methods to gather the four types of Adra:

  • Purchasing from Merchants: Many merchants across the Living Lands, particularly in major settlements like Paradis in Dawnshore and Thirdborn in Shatterscarp, sell limited amounts of Adra.
  • Looting: Named enemies, bosses, and mini-bosses in both main and side quests often drop Adra. Additionally, exploring hidden areas and using lockpicks on lock boxes can yield this valuable resource.
  • Crafting: Breaking down unique weapons and armor can provide Adra, with the quality of the Adra correlating to the item's quality. You can also upgrade lower-quality Adra to higher forms at a Party Camp.
  • Strangled Adra: These are main collectibles scattered throughout the Living Lands. Strangled Adra pillars, which are few and far between, often require solving puzzles to access the Adra within.

By understanding these methods and the locations where different Adra types spawn, you can efficiently gather the resources needed to upgrade your gear to the highest levels in *Avowed*.

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