Unveiled: An Extensive Guide to Recruiting Companions in Avowed

Embark on a thrilling adventure through the perilous Living Lands of Eora in Avowed, accompanied by four unique companions, each boasting distinct personalities and upgradeable abilities. This guide details each recruitable companion.

Kai

Encountered early, Kai is your first true companion, joining your party in Dawnshore near Paradis. A formidable ex-mercenary with a softer side, Kai functions as a tank in combat, dealing and absorbing significant damage. His fire abilities prove invaluable for removing environmental obstacles, revealing hidden paths and loot.

Kai's upgradeable abilities include:

• Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot, stunning and taunting a single enemy.
• Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and increases damage reduction.
• Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap, stunning and taunting nearby enemies.
• Second Win (Passive): Revives with 50% health upon death.

Marius

Marius, encountered in Dawnshore, shares history with Kai. An expert hunter and tracker, his skills are reflected in his personality, narrative, and gameplay. His "Hunter Sense" helps locate loot and crafting materials. In combat, he utilizes a bow, daggers, and nature-based traps.

Marius' upgradeable abilities include:

• Binding Roots (Active): Roots an enemy in place.
• Heart Seeker (Active): A piercing shot that ignores obstacles.
• Shadow Step (Active): Vanishes and reappears to attack an enemy (up to 3 times).
• Wounding Shots (Passive): Attacks inflict bleeding.

Giatta

Found later in the Emerald Stair region, Giatta is an animancer whose magic plays a crucial role in the main quest. Her support abilities focus on healing, shielding, and buffing allies. Her "Spectral Jolt" ability activates Essence Generators, opening new exploration paths.

Giatta's upgradeable abilities include:

• Purification (Active): Heals all allies.
• Barrier (Active): Provides allies with a temporary health shield.
• Acceleration (Active): Increases ally movement and attack speed.
• Reconstruction (Passive): Attacks partially heal allies.

Yatzli

The final companion, Yatzli, joins your party in Thirdborn within the Shatterscarp region (though she can be encountered earlier). A damage-focused magic user, her spells excel at both single-target and area-of-effect attacks, and she can also remove environmental obstacles.

Yatzli's upgradeable abilities include:

• Essence Explosion (Active): An explosive arcane attack.
• Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of homing arcane missiles.
• Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows an enemy.
• Blast (Passive): Attacks create a small area-of-effect explosion.
