Very early in your adventure through Avowedâs tutorial island, youâll come across a prisoner named Ilora. She spins a yarn about her crew going feral and slaying one another, but her demeanor is quite antagonistic. It certainly doesnât help that your other companion, Garryck, already seems not to trust her. This can make it hard to tell whether sheâs telling the truth and whether you should lend her a hand. But donât worryâweâve got the info you need.
Should you free Ilora in Avowed?
Letâs get the easy part out of the way first: Yes, you should probably free Ilora. Surprisingly, sheâs telling you the truth about what went down on the island. Granted, whether you opt to help her or not should depend on what type of person youâd like your character to be and what type of playthrough youâre aiming for, but there are definitely positive reasons for freeing this prisoner.
For starters, sheâll accompany you through the remainder of the island and help you fight off foes that stand in your way. Additionally, a quest you encounter later in Dawnshore (which we wonât spoil here) will go much more smoothly if Ilora has been freed.
Alternatively, choosing not to free Ilora will result in you having to fight her at the end of the tutorial, as well as the aforementioned quest having a far less peaceful turnout. So, ya know, you could just save yourself the trouble and free her. Or if itâs trouble youâre after, leave her behind bars.
How to free Ilora in Avowed
To free Ilora, climb the box in the corner of the room where sheâs being held prisoner. Jump across the platforms here until you reach an area above with some broken wood on the floor. Attack this weak barrier and open a path into a room below. On the wall of this room is a key you can take back to Iloraâs cell to free her. Sheâll be appreciative that you chose to trust her, and you can now proceed back up to the area above to continue your journey.
Avowed is available now on Xbox and PC.
