Recruit All Avowed Companions: Guide

In the expansive world of Eora, the journey through the Living Lands in *Avowed* is fraught with dangers, but you won't have to face them alone. The game introduces four unique Companions, each bringing their own flair and set of upgradable abilities to your party. Let's dive into the details of each Companion you can recruit in *Avowed*.

Kai

Kai is your first official Companion in *Avowed*, joining you early in the game at the port in Dawnshore near Paradis. You'll encounter him right on the dock, where he'll team up with you to find the Ambassador and the Cleric. Kai remains a steadfast member of your party until you recruit three Companions, after which you can swap him out at a Party Camp if needed.

A former mercenary with a heart of gold, Kai serves as a tank in combat. He excels at both taking and dealing substantial damage. Additionally, his fire abilities are invaluable for clearing obstacles like cobwebs and roots, helping you uncover hidden paths and treasures.

Kai's upgradable abilities include:

Fire and Ire, Active: Kai unleashes a powerful shot from his blunderbuss, stunning and taunting a single enemy for 10 seconds.
Unbending Defense, Active: Kai regenerates health and boosts his damage reduction by 25%.
Leap of Daring, Active: Kai executes a mighty leap onto enemies, stunning and taunting nearby foes.
Second Win, Passive: Upon reaching zero health, Kai revives himself, restoring 50% of his maximum health.

Marius

Marius, the second Companion you'll meet, has a history with Kai and can be found in Dawnshore. You'll encounter him in a bar, where you can either talk your way out of or engage in combat with some accosting NPCs to recruit him.

As an expert hunter and tracker, Marius's skills permeate his personality, narrative, and gameplay. His Hunter Sense ability aids in locating loot and crafting materials across the Living Lands. In combat, he utilizes a bow and arrow alongside daggers and can manipulate nature to trap enemies with roots.

Marius's upgradable abilities are:

Binding Roots, Active: Marius roots an enemy in place for 8 seconds.
Heart Seeker, Active: Marius fires a piercing shot that always hits its target, passing through obstacles.
Shadow Step, Active: Marius vanishes into smoke, reappearing to slash an enemy with his daggers, repeating this action up to three times.
Wounding Shots, Passive: Marius's attacks cause bleed accumulation.

Giatta

Giatta, the third Companion you'll recruit, is found later in the game in the Emerald Stair Region at the Fior settlement. As an animancer, she practices a controversial form of magic in the Living Lands.

Giatta's animancy plays a crucial role in unraveling the spiritual mysteries central to *Avowed*'s main quest. In combat, she serves as a support, focusing on healing, shielding, and buffing allies. Her unique ability, Spectral Jolt, can power Essence Generators to unlock hidden pathways and access loot.

Giatta's upgradable abilities include:

Purification, Active: Giatta emits a wave of energy, healing all allies by 25% of their maximum health.
Barrier, Active: Giatta grants all allies a shield, providing temporary health for 20 seconds.
Acceleration, Active: Giatta boosts the move and attack speed of all allies for 15 seconds.
Reconstruction, Passive: Giatta's attacks heal all allies a small amount.

Yatzli

Yatzli faces off in a forest in Avowed

Yatzli, the fourth and final Companion, joins your party during a main quest in the Shatterscarp region within the city of Thirdborn, though you may encounter her earlier in the world.

Like Giatta, Yatzli wields magic, but her focus is on dealing damage. Her spells are potent, capable of targeting single enemies or controlling crowds effectively. She also uses her magic to clear obstacles, making her an essential ally for exploring the Living Lands.

Yatzli's upgradable abilities are:

Essence Explosion, Active: Yatzli unleashes an arcane explosion upon contact with an enemy, releasing a burst of Essence and explosive damage.
Minoletta’s Missile Battery, Active: Yatzli launches a volley of arcane missiles that seek out nearby enemies.
Arduos Delay of Motion, Active: Yatzli manipulates arcane energy to slow an enemy for 10 seconds.
Blast, Passive: Yatzli's attacks create a small area of effect upon hitting an enemy.

These are all the Companions you can recruit in *Avowed*, each bringing unique abilities and personalities to enhance your journey through the Living Lands. *Avowed* is now available on PC and Xbox, ready for you to embark on this thrilling adventure.
