If you’ve been exploring the world of Avowed in 2025, you know how important it is to track down every quest location and ensure you’re not missing out on content or rewards. The game’s open-ended structure gives players plenty of freedom, but this also means that it’s easy to overlook quest givers, turn-in points, or get stuck on bugged quests. Here’s a detailed guide to Avowed avowed quest locations and some troubleshooting tips based on the latest player experiences.
Key Quest Locations in Avowed
The main quest hubs in Avowed include Dawnshore, Paradis City, Fior mes Iverno, and the Emerald Stair. Many side quests and bounties can be picked up in these areas, especially from bounty boards or specific NPCs. Here’s a quick rundown:
-
Dawnshore: Home to Magran’s Assay and Sanza’s Emporium, both important for cartographer and bounty quests.
-
Paradis City (High Market/Hightown): Sanza’s Emporium is where you can turn in cartographer quests after the initial one.
-
Fior mes Iverno: The bounty board here provides a set of quests, including at least one related to the cartographer storyline.
-
Emerald Stair: Quest objectives often lead here, and some cartographer quests are tied to this region.
Cartographer Quests – Turn-In Confusion
Many players have noticed that after completing a cartographer quest, like the one in Emerald Stair, it’s not always clear where to turn it in. The general solution is returning to Sanza’s Emporium in Paradis Hightown (Paradis City), where you can speak to Sanza to complete your quest. If you don’t see a quest marker:
-
Travel to Dawnshore.
-
Go to Sanza’s Emporium in Paradis Hightown.
-
Speak to Sanza to turn in the quest.
Sometimes, these turn-in locations lack map markers, so manual exploration is required. If you can’t find Sanza, check Magran’s Assay in Dawnshore, as some players reported finding her there early in their playthrough.
Troubleshooting Bugged Bounty Quests
A recurring issue involves bounty quests, particularly the Belderreno bounty. Some players kill Belderreno before picking up the quest, which can prevent the quest item (a trophy) from dropping, making the quest unfinishable.
Common issues and possible fixes:
-
If you killed Belderreno before taking the quest: Return to a previous save if possible, accept the bounty, then kill him.
-
If the trophy does not drop: Try reloading an autosave before the encounter, and defeat Belderreno again. Some found the trophy drops only if you loot his body immediately after the kill, before clearing other enemies.

An Untimely End – Main Quest Sticking Points
One of the main quests, "An Untimely End," has been giving players trouble. Key NPCs like the Ambassador or Marius may not appear, or dialogue loops prevent progression. Here’s what’s helped some players:
-
Missing Ambassador: Speak to Edda, the gatekeeper at Southern Embrace, before returning to the Aedryan Embassy. This can reset the quest and make the Ambassador available for dialogue.
-
Dialogue loops: Try completing side quests or reloading older saves. Sometimes leaving the area and returning triggers the correct interactions.
-
Workarounds: One player found that rushing through the peaceful solution, then leaving and re-entering the area, helped progress the quest. Always keep multiple save files, just in case.
