Quests & Choices

Avowed's writing is reactive, and this page is where that bites the platinum: a big completionist silver (Pentiment — every side quest) plus a pile of one-shot decision trophies. The golden rule is save before every quest resolution and major dialogue, so a single save can yield several of these (Reverse Card, Retirement Plan, Get in the Statue and friends) via reloads. The cumulative ones (lie 15 times, demand payment 5 times, 10 violent / 5 peaceful resolutions) just need you to lean into Avowed's dialogue options as you play.

Pentiment

Silver⚠ MissableFull guideCollapse

Complete every side quest.
TypeSilver
CountAll side quests

What it asks

Complete every side quest in the game — a huge completionist task named after Obsidian's own Pentiment.

How to earn it

  1. Pick up and finish every side quest across all four regions before the point of no return.
  2. Track them against a region checklist; some only appear after certain story beats.
Some side quests can be failed or locked out by story progress or hostile choices — do side content before advancing major story beats, and keep saves before big decisions.

What it asks

Choose the violent/aggressive resolution to a conversation 10 times.

How to earn it

  1. When dialogue offers a hostile option that starts a fight, take it.

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Resolve potential conflicts peacefully five times.
TypeBronze
Count5 times

What it asks

Defuse five situations that could have turned violent using peaceful dialogue.

How to earn it

  1. When a tense conversation offers a peaceful/diplomatic resolution, choose it.

The opposite of Tired of Being Nice — you can earn both, just not on the same conversation, so spread them across different encounters.

A Well Overflowing

What it asks

Raise any single character attribute to its maximum of 15 points.

How to earn it
