How To Stop Fior Mes Inverno Burning In Avowed

by

As an ardent fan, altering the fate of Fior mes Iverno in Avowed is one of the most significant actions I can take to impact the game’s main storyline. This decision not only shifts the narrative but also triggers the hidden Achievement titled Fior Extinguisher. The name itself is so magnificent that it seems they conceived it first and the idea second!

The task isn’t particularly challenging, but the game doesn’t provide any guidance on how to complete it. You might not even notice that the city is in danger until you exit one mission and find the city ablaze. Regrettably, if you’ve advanced this far, it’s already too late. Contrary to what the Achievement suggests, you can’t put out the fire; instead, your goal is to prevent it from starting. To accomplish this, there’s a particular side quest that needs to be completed.

Which Side Quest Helps You Save Fior Mes Inverno?

At Emerald Stair, you can acquire the side quest “Steel Resolve” either by rescuing Ranger Verano, which leads you to report to Ranger Captain Acierno at the Ranger Tower. Alternatively, you can go directly to the Ranger Tower. After that, you’ll be dispatched to Ranger Casagrada near the docks and Ranger Dorso at the entrance to Fior itself.

Instead of jumping straight to the conclusion at the “Finding The Steel Garotte At The Waterfall” section, let’s proceed systematically as outlined below.

This way, we can ensure a thorough understanding of the journey, instead of rushing ahead.

Disregard Casagranda since she’s not at fault. Instead, make your way to Dorso. At some point, she’ll guide you to the Ogre’s Cave, located in the northwest corner of the map, adjacent to the Grim Wetlands.

How To Reach The Ogre’s Cave

Making your way through the dismal, soggy Grim Wetlands, access to the Ogre’s Cave appears to be barred by a heavy door. To proceed, you will require either Giatta, Shock spells, or Lily Seeds, as these are the means to activate the switches. One switch is hidden to the right of the door behind a wooden barrier, and the other lies directly behind you when facing the door, just across a narrow space.

From this location, proceed through the door, climbing over the stone outcroppings and following the rocky trail. Upon entering, engage in combat with Ulrask, then search the fallen foes to discover instructions leading to a massive, conspicuous Root Strangled Tree. Make your way to the map marker west of Fior mes Iverno (or west of the Wildwoods). At this ancient tree, look for a note hidden within its roots. Next, meet at the river beside the Rootbound Godless Ruins, where you’ll find Dorso – the traitor we’ve been searching for all along.

To rescue Fior mes Iverno, you should obtain details about the Steel Garotte’s hideout from her. However, it’s also possible to go there directly without interrogating her first, as the location is nearby. If you choose to interrogate her, make sure to do so until she discloses the hideout’s location; afterward, you may engage in a battle with her. If you decide to kill her instead, you can take her Exceptional Dagger.

Finding The Steel Garotte At The Waterfall

After obtaining the instructions from us or Dorso, when you reach the waterfall, you will discover the Steel Garotte. Proceed to the Rootbound Godless Ruins by Belderreno’s Lair and follow the upstream path to the waterfall. On your right side, there is a hidden passage in a cave that leads to a Steel Garotte hideout.

Inside, they may try to negotiate or encourage you to depart, but for the sake of Fior mes Iverno, you must hold your ground and battle. Start by defeating the initial two guards, then search their remains for the key. Utilize this key to proceed further into the hideout, where you will discover more pieces of the Steel Garotte. Ensure you clear the first chamber, the barred room (located via the cave to the right of the door), and the few guards along the path leading up the far cave, and retrieve the final Steel Garrote key from those guards.

Then, it’s important to contact Captain Acierno, a crucial step that finalizes Steel Resolve only if all previous instructions were followed. However, if you skipped straight to the waterfall, this step isn’t relevant for you.

How To Unlock Fior Extinguisher

Completing this mission or eliminating the danger from Emerald Stair advances the city’s safety, however, the Achievement hasn’t been triggered yet. Following the removal of the Steel Garotte threat, you still need to accomplish the main quest titled Ancient Soil. Upon wrapping up this questline, you’ll observe that many in Fior mes Inverno have fallen while battling traitors. Nevertheless, the city survives. At that juncture, the Achievement will be unlocked.
