Where to find Pyromancer’s Key in Avowed

You can find Pyromancer’s Key near Berath’s Gateway (graveyard), to the left of Paradis. It’ll be right near Captain Henqua’s Spoils Treasure Map solution.

To begin your journey, head to the right of Berath’s Gateway to find a set of stairs. Cross these wooden platforms and continue along the path.

As you approach a bridge, you’ll hear the sound of the Crazed Pyromancer. Follow the sound (to the right of the bridge), leading you closer to Ivona’s Threshold.

Upon reaching the Crazed Pyromancer’s skeleton, you’ll discover the Pyromancer’s Key resting beside him. Take the key in his honor and use it to claim some goodies. You can also grab the Anexli’s Grimoire near him, which provides you with a weapon of Exceptional Quality.

You’ll see a chest near some tents and an unlit campfire:

Open it to receive the following items:

  • 9 Silver Fennings
  • Common Grimoire of Embers
  • Spirit Residue
  • 2 Softwood Branched
  • Pelt
  • 4 Grenades

Most of the treasures inside are for enchanting and upgrading, taking your equipment to new heights. You’ll also earn a new grimoire to expand your magic collection. However, Anextli’s Grimoire has much more power than the book found in the chest, so you may want to use this one instead. Dawnshore holds many other gems for you to discover, including Woedica’s Inheritance. Do your best to explore ✅the Living Lands as much as possiblꦰe to gather more valuable resources.
