Embark on a thrilling adventure through Eora's perilous Living Lands with the aid of four unique companions in Avowed. Each companion boasts a distinct personality and customizable abilities, adding depth and strategic options to your gameplay. Let's explore each companion you can recruit:

Kai: Meet Kai, a formidable ex-mercenary with a surprisingly tender heart. Encountered early in Dawnshore, near Paradis, Kai becomes your first true companion after assisting you in finding the Ambassador and Cleric. His tank-like capabilities in combat, combined with fire-based abilities to clear obstacles and uncover hidden treasures, make him an invaluable asset. Kai's upgradable abilities include:

• Fire and Ire (Active): A powerful blunderbuss shot that stuns and taunts a single enemy.
• Unbending Defense (Active): Regenerates health and significantly reduces damage taken.
• Leap of Daring (Active): A powerful leap that stuns and taunts nearby enemies.
• Second Win (Passive): Revives Kai with 50% health upon reaching zero.

Marius: Marius, a skilled hunter and tracker with a shared history with Kai, awaits you in Dawnshore. Join him after a bar encounter, choosing to either talk your way out of trouble or engage in combat. His hunter's instincts enhance your exploration, revealing hidden loot and crafting materials. His combat prowess utilizes bow and arrow, daggers, and nature-bending abilities. Marius's upgradable 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): Inflicts bleeding on enemies.

Giatta: Giatta, an animancer wielding controversial magic, joins your party later in the Emerald Stair region's Fior settlement. Her animancer abilities are crucial to solving spiritual mysteries in the main quest, providing support in combat through healing, shielding, and buffs. Her unique Spectral Jolt ability activates Essence Generators, opening hidden pathways. Giatta's upgradable abilities are:

• Purification (Active): Heals all allies.
• Barrier (Active): Provides temporary health to allies.
• Acceleration (Active): Increases allies' movement and attack speed.
• Reconstruction (Passive): Heals allies with each attack.

Yatzli: Yatzli, the final companion, is a damage-dealing mage recruited during a main quest in Thirdborn, within the Shatterscarp region. Her powerful spells offer both single-target and area-of-effect crowd control. She also excels at clearing obstacles during exploration. Yatzli's upgradable abilities include:

• Essence Explosion (Active): Deals explosive damage upon contact.
• Minoletta’s Missile Battery (Active): A volley of seeking arcane missiles.
• Arduos Delay of Motion (Active): Slows enemies.
• Blast (Passive): Creates a small area-of-effect explosion on impact.
