You will probably have a good grip on all the tips and tricks needed to beat Avowed by the time you reach the second zone, Emerald Stair. However, no matter how many abilities you have or how good your gear is, finding a missing person with just a vague hint never gets any easier. We already helped Sanza find a missing cartographer in Dawntrail, but he has lost another in Emerald Stair and needs us to track them down. Like last time, the Avowed won’t tell you where to go so we explored the entire region to show you exactly where to track them down.

The first cartographer quest at least gave you the general direction to find them, but this time we are only given the name of the area within Emerald Stair. The area in question is called Naku Tedek and is the isolated island on the south end of the map.

After crossing over the bride, swing around the west side and towards the cliffs. If you see the enemies you need to jump across a gap to reach, back up, and head further west and south. You will find the corpse of the second cartographer by the cliff with their map resting beside them. You will need to fast travel back to the emporium in Dawntrail to turn in this quest.

Avowed: tips and tricks to conquer the Living Lands

Kai fights a Xaurip in Avowed.

Your character in Avowed doesn't exactly have a smooth start when arriving in the Living Lands. After a rough landing, things only get more difficult as you take on quests, fight monsters, and get into heated conversations. Leveling up and unlocking new abilities will help, but anyone who knows RPGs could tell you that. Despite Avowed looking like a sequel to Skyrim, it has a lot of differences that require a different approach from the player. Before you get lost in the lore and drama of saving the Living Lands from the Dreamscourge, make sure you prepare with these essential tips and tricks.
Don't focus on just one weapon

In almost any other RPG, you would only be limiting yourself if you tried to use multiple weapon types -- if the game even allowed for it. In Avowed, not only can you use any and all weapons you want, but it is essential. Avowed doesn't force you into any specific class that limits what your character can equip. You will still invest your points that make your character better in certain aspects, but you will never find a weapon or armor you can't use if you want to.

Luigi kicks a shell in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

You will face many obstacles on your quest across the islands of Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, in the form of classic turn-based battles and exploration. However, like every other Switch title, those who enjoy hunting for Trophies or Achievements won't find them here.

These are difficult tasks that are completely optional but reward you with some very precious upgrade materials that are worth the effort. These will push you to use all the game's mechanics and tools. Most will be available from the start, but some only unlock later on so you can't complete them all at once. If you want to know what challenges await you in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, here's every challenge in the game and what your reward is for completing them.
