In *Avowed*, treasure maps lead you to exciting rewards, and the first one you're likely to encounter is the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete it and claim your prize.
Upon arriving at the Living Lands and meeting Garryck and possibly Ilora, you'll encounter your first trio of merchants. One of them, Lynna, offers the "Treasure Map – Intimidating Feline Codpiece" for 115. Purchase the map to find it in the Documents section of your Journal under Paradis.
The map's intriguing text reads, "My husband spent a fortune on this stelgaer codpiece to spice things up in the bedroom. Now he’s dead on account of a weak heart. I want nothing to do with that tasteless (though brutally effective) garment, so I leave it to the gods to find a worthy bearer." This adds a unique layer of lore to your adventure.
Start your journey from the Gods’ Gate Beacon, located east of Paradis and north of the Southern Embrace on the map. Avoid the Yellowband Camp if you're under-leveled, as the fight can be challenging. Navigate around the southern and eastern edges of the camp. At a fork in the road, take the right path.
You'll come across a boarded-up area. Break the boards and open the chest on your left to uncover the treasure.
Inside the chest, you'll find: Stelgaer’s Pride + 2, Golden Scelling (6), Silver Fenning (8), Common Arquebus, Bear Claw, Pelt (2), and Softwood Branch (2). The highlight is the Stelgaer’s Pride armor, with the following stats:
Armor Type | Stats | Abilities | Upgrade Requirements | Break Down | Weight |
Medium, Unique | 18% Damage Reduction, 9 Additional Damage Reduction, -35 Maximum Stamina, -30 Maximum Essence | Bloodied Fury: Cast Barbaric Shout when taking damage greater than 30% of your Maximum Health Lesser Relentless: +5% Stamina regeneration rate | Pelt (28), Paradisan Ladder (6) | Pelt (10), Paradisan Ladder (6) | 18 |
The Stelgaer’s Pride Armor is an excellent early-game choice, especially for players focusing on physical builds. As a spellsword, I found it quite beneficial, at least initially. Its unique abilities and stats make it a valuable asset for those looking to enhance their combat effectiveness early in *Avowed*.
And that's how you complete the Intimidating Feline Codpiece map in *Avowed*. Enjoy your newfound gear and continue your adventure!
