Hey everyone, it's your friendly neighborhood explorer here! So, you're diving deep into the Shatterscarp region in Avowed, and you've heard whispers about the powerful Totem of Revelation quest, right? It's one of those classic god totem hunts, and let's be real, who doesn't want that sweet, sweet power boost early on? The issue is, among the six fragments you need, one is a bit of a sneaky little thing—the Emerald Eye Totem Fragment. Most guides will tell you to wait until the 'Face Your Fears' main quest, but what if I told you we don't have to wait? That's right, in 2026, with all the exploration tricks we know, we can grab this bad boy way ahead of schedule. Stick with me, and I'll show you the exact path to an early critical hit chance boost!
🌊 Location, Location, Location: Shark's Teeth
First things first, where do we even start looking? Forget waiting for the main story to drag you there. The Emerald Eye Totem Fragment is chilling (probably not literally) in a place called Shark's Teeth. On your map, look south of the spooky-sounding Ryngrim's Domain in Shatterscarp. The coolest part? The whole region is open from the start! So, pack your bags, ignore those main quest markers for a bit, and let's head south.
⚔️ Clearing the Path: Bridge Battle
As you approach Shark's Teeth, you'll hit a bridge. Now, here's the fun part. This bridge isn't just for scenic views. A group of Skeleton Rangers has decided it's their new favorite hangout spot. Their spawn isn't 100% guaranteed every time, but let's be honest, in 2026, the chance they're there is pretty darn high. Why risk it?
Pro Tip: Take them out immediately! Don't just run past. They're rangers, which means they'll pepper you with arrows while you're trying to do parkour later. Not fun. The good news? They're just skeletons—no giant skull bosses or anything crazy here. A few well-placed hits or spells should clear the bridge. Think of it as paying the toll!
-
Enemy Type: Skeleton Rangers
-
Threat Level: Medium (Annoying, not deadly)
-
Strategy: Aggressive approach. Close the distance or use ranged attacks to pick them off.
🧗 The Climb to the Prize
With the skeletons turned back into piles of bones, keep moving across the bridge. On your left, you'll spot a tall, rickety-looking wooden tower. That, my friends, is our destination. The Emerald Eye is waiting at the very top. But the journey is part of the reward!
As you climb, keep your eyes peeled for notes and scrolls scattered on the platforms. In 2026, lore isn't just flavor text—it can sometimes hint at other secrets or give you context about the Obscured Totem. Free knowledge is always a win.
The climb itself is straightforward:
-
Jump onto the lower wooden platforms.
-
Navigate up the makeshift scaffolding.
-
Find and use the final ladder to reach the summit.
💎 Claiming Your Reward
And there it is! Sitting pretty at the top of the world (or at least this tower) is the glowing Emerald Eye Totem Fragment. Go ahead, grab it!
But wait, before you zip back down... TURN AROUND! There's a chest right there. Don't be that player who misses the extra loot! It usually contains valuable crafting materials that are always useful, whether you're upgrading gear or brewing potions.
✨ Activating the Power
You've got the fragment! Now what? This isn't just a collectible for your shelf. The real magic happens at your Party Camp. Fast travel back to any of your camp locations. Find the Eyes Of The Obscured Totem—it's that mysterious artifact you're building.
Insert the Emerald Eye into its slot. And just like that... POWER UP!
The Emerald Eye grants a flat +5% Critical Hit Chance. Let me repeat that: +5% CRIT CHANCE. In a game like Avowed, where every hit counts, this is a massive early-game boost. Whether you're a sneaky rogue, a brute-force warrior, or a spell-slinging mage, more crits mean fights end faster. It's one of the most universally useful fragments you can get early on.
🎯 Final Thoughts & Why Bother Early?
So, why go through all this trouble before the game tells you to? Simple: Efficiency and Power.
| Do it Early | Wait for the Quest |
|---|---|
| Get a +5% Crit Chance boost for dozens of hours of gameplay. | Get the boost only for the final stretch. |
| Explore Shatterscarp on your own terms, finding other secrets. | Be funneled through by the main story. |
| Feel like a genius explorer breaking the sequence. | Follow the intended path. (Boring! 😉) |
In 2026, players have mastered the art of sequence breaking in games like Avowed. The Emerald Eye fragment is a perfect example of a reward that's worth a small detour. You tackle a simple skirmish, do a little climbing, and get a reward that benefits your entire playthrough.
What are you waiting for? The Shatterscarp coast is calling, and that critical hit bonus isn't going to earn itself. Get out there, claim that Emerald Eye, and let the crits rain down! Happy hunting, everyone! 🔍💚
