Throughout the Living Lands in Avowed, you'll encounter various resources needed for weapon and armor upgrades. Among these, none are as scarce or valuable as the four types of Adra. Here's your complete guide to obtaining all Adra variants in Avowed.
Understanding Adra Spawn Mechanics in Avowed
Avowed features four distinct Adra types: Base Adra, Awakened Adra, Corrupted Adra, and Adra Bán. Each variant differs in rarity and value, with higher-tier upgrades requiring rarer forms. For instance, upgrading equipment to Legendary Quality exclusively demands Adra Bán.
Higher-value Adra types appear in more challenging game sections. As you progress through difficult late-game areas with stronger enemies, your gear quality must scale accordingly - necessitating these rarer Adra forms typically found in advanced zones. While lower-tier Adra can be upgraded at Party Camps, this proves far less efficient than directly acquiring superior variants in endgame regions. Below shows Adra spawning patterns across Living Lands regions:
- Base Adra appears starting in Dawnshore
- Awakened Adra emerges in the Emerald Stair Region
- Corrupted Adra spawns from Shatterscarp Region onward
- Adra Bán exclusively appears in Galawain's Tusks and final game sections
All Methods for Acquiring Adra

As mentioned, Adra availability scales with regional progression. Beyond story rewards (like defeating Ygwulf in Dawnshore or late-game mini-bosses dropping Adra Bán), players have multiple acquisition options:
- Merchant Purchases: Weapons/armor vendors in major settlements (Paradis, Thirdborn) occasionally stock limited Adra quantities
- Enemy Drops: Named bosses/mini-bosses from main/side quests frequently drop Adra
- Locked Containers: Secret areas often contain Adra in locked chests - always carry Lockpicks
- Crafting: Salvaging Unique gear yields Adra matching the item's quality
- Strangled Adra: These scattered crystalline structures require puzzle-solving to harvest
Remember that while lower-tier Adra conversions are possible at Party Camps, direct acquisition remains preferable. Mastering these collection methods ensures your equipment stays competitive throughout Avowed's challenging progression.
Avowed is currently available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass.
