In *Avowed*, treasure maps lead you to some remarkable rewards, and the first one you'll likely come across is the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map. Here's how to successfully navigate and complete it to claim your prize.
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. Once purchased, you can find it in the Documents section of your Journal under Paradis.
The map's lore is quite intriguing: "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."
Where to Find the Intimidating Feline Codpiece Map’s Treasure in Avowed
Start your journey from the Gods’ Gate Beacon, located east of Paradis and north of the Southern Embrace text on the map. Navigate around the Yellowband Camp, which can be challenging if you're under-leveled, so it's best to avoid it unless you're prepared for a tough fight. Continue along the southern and eastern edges of the camp until you reach a fork in the road, then take the right path.
You'll come across a boarded-up area. Break the boards and open the chest on 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, Stelgaer’s Pride armor, has 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 one you can acquire in *Avowed*, the Stelgaer’s Pride Armor is an excellent choice for early game, particularly for characters focusing on physical combat. As a spellsword, I found it quite beneficial, at least initially.
And that’s how to complete the Intimidating Feline Codpiece map in *Avowed*.
