In your journey through *Avowed*, you'll come across various treasure maps leading to fantastic rewards, provided you can decipher their clues. The first map you're likely to encounter is the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to complete it and claim your treasure in *Avowed*.
Where to Get the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map in Avowed
Upon arriving at the Living Lands and meeting Garryck and possibly Ilora, you'll encounter your first set of merchants. Among them, Lynna offers the "Treasure Map – Intimidating Feline Codpiece" for 115. After purchasing it, you can access it in the Documents section of your Journal under Paradis.
The map's text reads, "My husband spent a fortune on this stelgaer codpiece to spice things up in the bedroom. Now he’s dead on account of a weak heart. I want nothing to do with that tasteless (though brutally effective) garment, so I leave it to the gods to find a worthy bearer." This intriguing lore sets the stage for your treasure hunt.
Where to Find the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map’s Treasure in Avowed
Start your quest from the Gods’ Gate Beacon, located east of Paradis and north of the Southern Embrace on the map. Avoid the Yellowband Camp if you're under-leveled, as the fight can be challenging. Instead, navigate around its southern and eastern edges. At a fork in the road, take the right path.
You'll soon reach a boarded-up area. Break the boards and open the chest to your left to discover your treasure.
What the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map Gives You
The chest contains the following items: Stelgaer’s Pride + 2, Golden Scelling (6), Silver Fenning (8), Common Arquebus, Bear Claw, Pelt (2), and Softwood Branch (2). The highlight is the Stelgaer’s Pride armor, with the following stats:
| Armor Type | Stats | Abilities | Upgrade Requirements | Break Down | Weight |
| Medium, Unique | 18% Damage Reduction, 9 Additional Damage Reduction, -35 Maximum Stamina, -30 Maximum Essence | Bloodied Fury: Cast Barbaric Shout when taking damage greater than 30% of your Maximum Health Lesser Relentless: +5% Stamina regeneration rate | Pelt (28), Paradisan Ladder (6) | Pelt (10), Paradisan Ladder (6) | 18 |
What Builds Should Use the Stelgaer’s Pride Armor?
Given that you can obtain the Stelgaer’s Pride Armor early in *Avowed* by following the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map, it's an excellent choice for early-game builds, particularly those focused on physical combat. I found it quite beneficial for my spellsword build, at least initially.
And that's how you complete the Intimidating Feline Codpiece map in *Avowed*.
*Avowed is available now.*
