Honestly, nothing kills the vibe in an RPG like finding a gorgeous legendary weapon and realizing you need 42 Dexterity to even hold it. Major yikes. But Avowed? It totally gets it. The game literally lets you grab some of the most jaw-dropping, element-slinging weapons within your first few hours—no stat benchmarks, no level-gating nonsense. It’s giving freedom, and we are here for it. 💅
From lightning pistols that turn puddles into death traps to a giant poison greatsword just casually chillin’ against some ruins, Avowed is low-key spoiling us. Most of these treasures are tied to bounties or quick side quests, but some are just vibing in the open world waiting to be yoinked. Whether you're a spellblade girly or a two-handed axe main, there’s something for every fantasy. Let’s deep dive into where to find these mythical marvels—because gatekeeping is not the move.
⚡️ Caeroc’s Pride – The Shockingly Good Pistol
Location: Ondra’s Reach
Quest: Tempestuous Luandi (Bounty)
For real, this gun is a whole mood. Caeroc’s Pride is a one-handed pistol absolutely drenched in lightning magic. It doesn’t just zap enemies—it can literally shock open locked gates and turn any puddle into an electrified trap. If some poor bandit steps into the water? Fried. 💀 Just remember, Avowed isn’t your typical run-and-gun FPS. Pistols and muskets need to be reloaded after every shot, so don’t go thinking you’re in Destiny.
To snag this beauty, head east of Paradis to Ondra’s Reach and hunt down the bounty target Tempestuous Luandi. Take him out (he’s not that guy, trust) and loot his body. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, and suddenly you’re Thor with a side of pirate.
❄️ Drawn in Winter – The Coolest Axe Around
Location: Watcher’s Mirror
Quest: Ancient Memory
If you want enemies to chill out—literally—Drawn in Winter is the one-handed axe you need in your life. This frosty baddie builds up freeze on repeated hits, turning foes into popsicles, and can even freeze small bodies of water to create icy paths. It’s giving Elsa but make it combat.
The path to this weapon is a tiny bit puzzle-y but so worth it. Travel to the far east side of the map to Watcher’s Mirror. There you’ll witness the Ancient Memory vision, answer a couple of lore questions (no sweat), and then a pillar rises from the lake with the axe stuck in it like Excalibur. Grab it and a few weak skeletons pop up—no Bone Mama, no problem. It’s basically a free legendary with zero drama.
🔥 Last Light of Day – Your Flaming Sword Moment
Location: Temple of Eothas
Quest: Dawntreader
Every hero needs a flaming sword era, and Last Light of Day delivers that fire magic fantasy without making you grind for 20 hours. It’s a one-handed sword that sets enemies ablaze and melts through spiderweb obstacles. Paired with a shield? Absolute chef’s kiss. Classic RPG energy.
To get it, start at the northern area called Pilgrim’s Path and pick up the Dawntreader side quest. It’s a whole journey packed with lore and rewards, but if you want that instant gratification, follow the questline into the Temple of Eothas. At the end, you’ll face a man named Sargamis—choose to fight him, and the sword drops. Simple as that. Periodt.
📖 Grimoires – For the Spellcasting Cuties
Location(s): Various (Ivona’s Threshold, Paradis, Ruinous Cavern)
Okay, so maybe you’re not a big sword person. Maybe you want to wield actual magic without committing to a pure wizard build. Enter Grimoires—weaponized spellbooks that let any envoy sling spells like a pro. The best part? There are a couple of rare finds right in the starting areas, though they do require a few points in the Wizard skill tree to unlock Mastery levels. Don’t let that intimidate you; the investment is minor for how broken magic can be.
Anextli’s Grimoire is found on a downed NPC near Ivona’s Threshold, while Beothel’s Grimoire can be purchased from a shopkeeper cutie named Merylin in Paradis. But the real MVP? The Common Grimoire of Elements. This baby requires zero Masteries, is available in most weapon shops, and can also be found in the Ruinous Cavern west of Paradis outside the gates. You can even fight a bounty there named Nacib for extra loot. Literally no excuse to not be casting fireballs. ✨
☠️ The Philosopher’s Riddle – The Poison Queen
Location: Castol’s Folly
No quest, no NPC, no fuss. The Philosopher’s Riddle is the definition of “it’s just laying there, bestie.” Head to the east side of the map, climb some ruins in Castol’s Folly, and you’ll spot this two-handed greatsword propped against some rocks like it’s waiting for a photoshoot.
It’s imbued with poison, which means continuous damage over time—perfect for chunking through high-HP bosses while you dodge around. Sure, it’s slower than one-handed weapons, but the drip and the tick damage? Major slay. If you’re going for that dark, moody build, this is your GOAT.
🪓 Seven Strivings – The Speed Demon Racket
Location: The Falls
Quest: Ralga (Bounty)
Low-key, this weapon looks like something Garnet would wield in Final Fantasy IX—a giant racket-like axe that absolutely slaps. The Seven Strivings is a two-handed axe that boosts movement speed with every kill and cranks up critical attack damage. Imagine zooming through a pack of enemies and then obliterating the last one standing. Iconic behavior.
Venture north to The Falls and face off against Ralga, a massive bounty target. He hits hard, but if you’ve already snagged The Philosopher’s Riddle, the poison will eat away at his health while you focus on dodging. After the fight, search the nearby area and you’ll find the Seven Strivings lying amidst some slain warriors. It’s a whole vibe for a berserker playstyle.
🔥 Sheathed in Summer – The Fiery Little Dagger
Location: Godless Ruins
Quest: Octav The Firebrand (Bounty)
Last but definitely not least, Sheathed in Summer is a flame-kissed dagger that proves good things come in small packages. It doesn’t have the reach of a greatsword, but the attack speed? Blazing fast. This pairs beautifully with a grimoire—unleash a few spells while on cooldown, then zip in for rapid-fire stabs that burn through anything.
To get it, head north to the Godless Ruins and take on the bounty for a dwarf named Octav The Firebrand. He’s a spicy fight, but once he’s down, just loot the dagger from his remains. It’s basically a mini Last Light of Day that fits any nimble assassin or battlemage fantasy.
💭 Final Hot Takes
Avowed really said, “we don’t gatekeep,” and we should all thank the gaming gods for that. Whether you’re a day-one explorer or just now jumping in (it’s 2026, no judgment!), these early weapons will carry you through the Dawnshore region and beyond. They’re not just strong—they have personality, unique effects, and zero stat requirements (except the grimoire masteries, but even those are baby tier).
So go forth, slay bounties, solve ancient mysteries, and snatch up everything that isn’t nailed down. And remember: the only thing better than a sharp sword is a sharp sword that also sets people on fire. 💖
