Embark on your *Avowed* adventure with these tips, designed to make Obsidian's latest RPG enjoyable for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. RPGs can seem daunting, but with a little guidance, you'll be conquering the Living Lands in no time.
*Avowed*, like many RPGs, rewards exploration and combat. Gain XP by completing quests, defeating enemies, and discovering new areas. As you level up, you'll earn attribute and ability points, shaping your character's strengths. Become a master warrior, a powerful mage, or forge your own unique path. The beauty of *Avowed* is its flexibility; you can even respec your points if your build isn't working out—a huge boon for beginners!
While *Avowed* features a structured storyline, it's far from linear. Don't just rush to the next objective marker. Explore! Delve into buildings, caves, and hidden areas to uncover loot, resources, and a wealth of side quests. These side quests offer easy XP and engaging stories. Collect books and notes for rich lore and backstory—Obsidian is known for its compelling narratives. Seek out treasure maps for valuable rewards. Thorough exploration also yields significant gold, enabling you to acquire better weapons and gear, crucial for challenging encounters, including bosses. Taking your time will make a significant difference in your combat capabilities.
Early combat can be challenging. Balance physical and essence attacks, and carefully monitor your health and essence bars. Stock up on health and essence potions (easily identifiable by their red and pink glows respectively), readily available throughout the world and from vendors. However, conserve your health potions. Use food and herbs to restore minor health; some even cure status effects like poison. Only resort to health potions when your health is critically low.
As you level up, remember to invest in your companions' abilities. They are invaluable allies in combat and can provide essential healing. Neglecting them can lead to frustrating difficulties. Upgrading their skills ensures they remain effective partners in your journey.
Collect resources to upgrade your weapons and gear at the crafting station in your camp. While early-game weapon changes are frequent, prioritize upgrading gear you plan to use for a while. Upgrades significantly enhance attack power, critical chance, and damage resistance.
Ultimately, *Avowed* is about your journey. Whether you focus on the main story or delve into every side quest, create your own adventure. Explore the Living Lands at your own pace, and most importantly, have fun!
Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.
