How To Get Paradisan Ladder in Avowed

There are five primary methods to acquire Paradisan Ladder in Avowed: purchasing from Merylin the merchant, discovering plants while exploring, earning it through side quests, breaking down infused items, and downgrading Hylea’s Talon.

Merylin the Merchant

Visiting Merylin in South Paradise, as shown on the map above, is the fastest and most reliable way to obtain Paradisan Ladder. Upon your first encounter, she'll discuss her rivalry with her blacksmith sister before allowing you to browse her inventory. Merylin stocks five units of Paradisan Ladder, each priced at 150 coins.

Additionally, she sells two unique items, the Many-Hued Doublet light armor and the Common Grimoire of Elements, which you can break down to yield two units of Paradisan Ladder each. Note that her inventory doesn't replenish, so act quickly to secure your upgrades.

Find Paradisan Ladder When Exploring in the Wild & in Cities

While exploring the wilds or certain city areas like Paradis in Avowed, keep an eye on your mini-map for the plant icon, indicated by a red circle in the image above. Although Paradisan Ladder can be mistaken for other plants, collecting them as you traverse the map during your quests will help you build a steady supply without any cost.

Side Quests

Avowed integrates Paradisan Ladder into its side quests to encourage players to explore beyond the main storyline. For instance, completing the "Escape Plan" side quest early in the game rewards you with two units of Paradisan Ladder among other crafting materials. Engaging in these quests not only boosts your inventory but also provides XP and other benefits.

Breaking Down Items

In Avowed, you can break down upgraded items at your party camp workbench to reclaim their core materials, including Paradisan Ladder. If you've previously enhanced a Common Sword with this herb, dismantling it will allow you to reuse the material for other upgrades. Similarly, you can acquire Paradisan Ladder by breaking down unique items purchased from merchants like Merylin, which list the material in their "Break Down" section.

Downgrading Hylea’s Talon Into Paradisan Ladder

Once you reach Emerald Stair in the campaign and collect Hylea’s Talon, you can downgrade it into three units of Paradisan Ladder at your party camp workbench under the "Crafting" tab. This method is perfect for players who have settled on their weapon loadouts and don't anticipate changing them. It's also a quick way to bolster a different weapon type that needs upgrading to match your current equipment level.

Now that you're equipped with all the methods to gather Paradisan Ladder, delve deeper into Avowed's lore by discovering its place in the Pillars of Eternity timeline. Additionally, explore whether Avowed supports multiplayer or remains a single-player adventure.
