Avowed is packed with secrets, hidden treasures, and locked chests that require a bit of exploration and problem-solving to unlock. One such treasure is the Pyromancer’s Chest, located in Dawnshore near Berath’s Gateway. If you’ve stumbled upon this mysterious locked chest and are wondering how to get your hands on the Pyromancer’s Key, you’re in the right place! Let’s break it down step by step.
Pyromancer’s Key Location | How to Unlock Pyromancer’s Chest
Early in your journey through the Living Lands, you’ll venture into Stranglewood in Dawnshore, north of Claviger’s Landing. Follow the road leading to Pargrun Wall, and keep an eye out for a large cemetery to the west—this is Berath’s Gateway.
On the northern side of the cemetery, atop a small hill near the wall, you’ll find a large locked chest. Next to it, you’ll notice a burned note, which hints that the Pyromancer moved to a nearby ridge overlooking the camp to practice his fire magic. That’s where you need to go next!
Finding the Pyromancer’s Key
Now that we know the Pyromancer moved to a ridge, let’s find it. From the Pyromancer’s Chest, look south, and you’ll spot a flag waving from a high ledge above the cemetery—that’s your target.
How to Reach the Ridge
- Head west past the cemetery and follow the path along the Fractured Shore.
- Keep an eye out for rocky platforms as you move south. You’ll soon find a path leading under a large bridge.
- Continue under the bridge, fight off some Xaurips, and follow the path up the ridge past the bridge.
- When you reach the ridge, the Pyromancer will make a dramatic exit—literally exploding!
- Check his remains, and you’ll find:
- Pyromancer’s Key
- Anextli’s Grimoire (packed with powerful fire spells!)
- A Charred Journal
Unlocking the Pyromancer’s Chest
Now that you’ve got the Pyromancer’s Key, head back to Berath’s Gateway. Carefully drop down the ridge to avoid fall damage and return to the locked Pyromancer’s Chest.
What’s Inside the Pyromancer’s Chest?
Unlocking the chest will reward you with some high-quality loot, including:
- Amethyst
- Common Grimoire of Embers
- Vessel Bone
- Pelts (x2)
- Softwood Branch
- Iron Chunk
- Grenades (x4)
Why You Should Get The Pyromancer’s Chest Early
This chest is worth seeking out early in the game because it provides valuable fire-based spells, resources, and grenades, which can be tough to come by at the beginning of your journey. The Pyromancer’s Key quest is also a great opportunity to explore Dawnshore’s rugged terrain while fighting off enemies and grabbing extra loot.
So, if you’re a spellcaster looking to bolster your arsenal or simply a treasure hunter itching to open every locked chest in Avowed, this is one adventure you don’t want to miss!
