Man, playing Avowed feels like being a detective in a fantasy world sometimes! 🤯 Just the other day, I was hunting down Ruanga for Captain Ngunu's "One Last Drink" quest, and let me tell you – this game doesn't make things easy. The abandoned mine north of Thirdborn? Total ghost town vibes. No obvious doors, no neon signs saying "secret entrance here." But that's Avowed for you – if you're not checking every nook and cranny, you're missing half the adventure. Gotta keep your eyes peeled like a hawk, 'cause high-value loot and game-changing secrets love hiding behind those sneaky breakable walls!
🔍 Finding That Elusive Mine Entrance
Here's how I cracked this nut:
-
Fast-travel smart: Head to either Thirdborn Party Camp or Ancient Lakebed South Beacon – both are solid starting points
-
Follow the breadcrumbs: Go north through Shatterscrap's mountain trail
-
Spot the dino fossil: On your right, there's a massive fossil looking like a T-rex's long-lost cousin (can't miss it!)
-
Get climbin': Scramble up the ledges beneath that fossil – parkour mode activated!
And bam! 💥 At eye level, you'll see a tiny opening whispering "come on in." Felt like finding a backstage pass to a sold-out concert!
😤 Convincing Ruanga: The Real Boss Fight
Finding the mine? Piece of cake. Dealing with Ruanga? Whole different ball game. When I reached her cave-top hideout, she was sweating bullets about Captain Ngunu:
| Dialogue Choice | Ruanga's Reaction | Achievement Impact |
|---|---|---|
| "He just wants peace" | Skeptical side-eye | ❌ Missable "Smooth Talker" |
| "He's changed!" | Eye-roll city | ❌ Nada |
| "I'll protect you" | Leans in curious | ✅ Unlocks "Guardian Angel" |
Pro tip from my playthrough: Talk to Tauwe and Kowha FIRST. Why? Because:
-
Gives you intel to counter Ruanga's paranoia
-
Lets you plan Captain Ngunu's... uh... "surprise reception"
-
Saves you from that gut-punch moment reloading saves 🤦♂️
❓ People Also Ask
- "Can I complete One Last Drink without Tauwe?"
Nope – skipping characters locks you out of optimal endings. Avowed remembers EVERY choice!
- "What loot’s inside the mine?"
Found a killer enchanted dagger behind a waterfall illusion – classic Obsidian hide-and-seek!
- "Does Ruanga ever trust Ngunu?"
Depends if you uncover his ledger near Kowha's camp first. Paperwork beats persuasion!
Final Thoughts: Choices & Consequences
That moment when Ruanga finally nodded? Felt like defusing a bomb 💣 But it got me thinking – in games or IRL, how often do we rush into tough conversations unprepared? Maybe we all need to "speak to Tauwe first" before life's big dialogues. What’s YOUR take – should games reward careful prep more, or is winging it half the fun?
