Avowed Bounties Guide

Complete them all

Bounties, or Bounty Missions, is one of the several ways you can explore in Avowed to get more resources and improve your character.

The game follows a pretty straightforward system when it comes to quests. There’s the main storyline, along with additional side quests to participate in. Bounties are similar to side quests in some ways, and you can find them in every region. These missions are pretty difficult to complete in the first place, but they’re extremely rewarding.

How to start Bounties in Avowed

Well, the first step is to continue along the main quest line, as it will help you reach new locations. Every location will have a major settlement, and you’ll be able to find the Bounty quests there.

Every region has a total of five Bounties to complete, and you can accept them from the board. You’ll be able to access the Bounty board as soon as you complete the extended tutorial and get past the Northreach Fort area.

How to complete Bounties in Avowed

Usually, Bounties are high-value targets that are located on the map. The task was pretty simple: find the target and defeat them. Bounty targets are highlighted with a blue demon symbol and a glowing ring around them on the mini-map.

If you haven’t accepted a Bounty, you can still see the location of the targets on the map. You’ll get the same rewards as if you hadn’t accepted the bounty when you go to collect your reward. Just pick up the bounty at the board, and you’ll get an option to tell the bounty master, “I’ve already completed some bounties.” for a little unique dialogue.

While the location is displayed on the mini-map, some will be inside a cave or hidden area. However, finding them isn’t difficult as you’ll have a general idea of the location. Every target will have multiple enemies around them, and I always eliminate the healers first. Your bounty should be the final target, as it’s almost always better to clear the minions first.

Are Bounties Worth Completing in Avowed

Bounties aren’t ordinary side quests, and some of them can be incredibly difficult to complete. You first have to find the target and eliminate multiple enemies. I suggest that you aim to complete as many as possible. In fact, it’s best to clear all available Bounties in a given region before you move on to the next.

Completing these missions will fetch you 500 currency, which increases in amount. But you should look to complete them for the unique items. Most bounties have Unique weapons, armor, and accessories hidden at the location. Some of the targets also have valuable items that you can loot once you defeat them. Additionally, completing these quests will help you level up your character faster and unlock new skills. Hence, it makes complete sense for you to accept and finish as many Bounties as you can in Avowed.

You’ll come across a host of bounties to complete once you gain access to Paradis in Dawnshore, and the choices just increase as you explore more regions.
