"Recruit All Avowed Companions: Guide"

Navigating the treacherous landscapes of Eora in *Avowed* becomes a much more manageable task with the right companions by your side. This game introduces you to four unique Companions, each equipped with distinct personalities and a suite of abilities that can be upgraded to enhance your journey through the Living Lands. Here's an in-depth look at each Companion you can recruit in *Avowed*:

Kai

Kai is the first Companion you'll meet in *Avowed* after the tutorial level. You'll encounter him early in the game at the port of Dawnshore near Paradis. Kai approaches you on the dock, and you'll team up to search for the Ambassador and the Cleric. He remains a steadfast member of your party until you recruit three Companions, at which point you can switch him out at a Party Camp.

As a former mercenary with a heart of gold, Kai serves as a tank in combat. He excels at absorbing and dishing out damage. His fire abilities are particularly useful 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, inflicting high stun 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 leaps onto an enemy, stunning and taunting all nearby foes.
• Second Win, Passive: When Kai's health hits zero, he revives himself, restoring 50% of his maximum health.

Marius

Marius, the second Companion you'll meet in *Avowed*, also hails from Dawnshore and shares a history with Kai. You'll find him in a bar, where you can either talk your way out of a confrontation or engage in combat with some aggressive NPCs to earn his loyalty.

An expert hunter and tracker, Marius brings his skills to both narrative and gameplay. His Hunter Sense ability aids in discovering loot and crafting materials across the Living Lands. In combat, he wields 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 any obstacles.
• Shadow Step, Active: Marius disappears into smoke, reappearing to slash at an enemy with his daggers up to three times.
• Wounding Shots, Passive: Marius's attacks cause enemies to bleed.

Giatta

Giatta, the third Companion to join your party, can be found in the Emerald Stair Region at the Fior settlement. As an animancer, she practices a form of magic that is controversial in the Living Lands.

Giatta plays a crucial role in unraveling the spiritual mysteries of *Avowed*'s main quest. Her support-focused magic abilities in combat allow her to heal, shield, and buff allies. Her unique Spectral Jolt ability can activate Essence Generators, revealing hidden pathways and treasures during exploration.

Giatta's upgradable abilities include:

• Purification, Active: Giatta emits a wave of energy that heals 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 allies a small amount.

Yatzli

Yatzli, the fourth and final Companion, joins you during a main quest in the Shatterscarp region within Thirdborn City. Although you might encounter her earlier, she officially becomes part of your team in this quest.

A magic-user like Giatta, Yatzli specializes in dealing damage. Her spells are potent, capable of targeting single enemies or controlling crowds effectively. She also aids in exploration by using magic to clear obstacles, making her an invaluable asset in the Living Lands.

Yatzli's upgradable abilities are:

• Essence Explosion, Active: Yatzli triggers an arcane explosion on contact with an enemy, releasing a burst of Essence and causing explosive damage.
• Minoletta’s Missile Battery, Active: Yatzli launches a volley of arcane missiles that home in on 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 the four Companions you can recruit in *Avowed*, each bringing unique strengths and abilities to your party as you explore the Living Lands.

*Avowed is now available on PC and Xbox.*
