Throughout your journey in *Avowed*, you'll stumble upon various treasure maps that promise great rewards, provided you can decipher their clues. One of the earliest maps you'll encounter is the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to complete it in *Avowed*.
Where to Get the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map in Avowed
Upon reaching the Living Lands and meeting Garryck and possibly Ilora, you'll encounter your first group of merchants. Among them, Lynna offers the "Treasure Map – Intimidating Feline Codpiece" for 115 gold. Once purchased, you can find the map in the Documents section of your Journal under Paradis.
The map's text intriguingly 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 adds a rich layer of lore to your treasure hunt.
Where to Find the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map’s Treasure in Avowed
To locate the treasure, start from the Gods’ Gate Beacon, which lies east of Paradis and north of the Southern Embrace on the map. Navigate around the Yellowband Camp, as confronting the enemies there can be challenging if you're under-leveled. Follow the path around the southern and eastern edges of the camp. At a fork in the road, take the right path.
You'll soon come across a boarded-up area. Break through the boards and open the chest to your left to uncover the 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 primary reward, Stelgaer’s Pride armor, boasts 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 the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map is the first treasure map you can acquire in *Avowed*, the Stelgaer’s Pride Armor is an excellent early-game choice, especially for physical-focused builds. As a spellsword, I found it quite beneficial early on, though its utility may wane as you progress.
That's everything you need to know to successfully complete the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map in *Avowed*.
