Starting the Animancy Method quest in Avowed

You automatically start the Animancy Method main quest in Avowed after completing An Untimely End. Upon entering Emerald Stairs, you and the party will encounter Yatzli at Maxim's Claw, who is being attacked by a couple of Sporelings. After giving her a hand, she will give you a side quest to grab the Godless Vase on top of the nearby tower.

After helping Yatzli, head northwest to the Coastal Farms and spot an Adra Waystone as a landmark. Continue in that direction, and you will eventually end up in Fior mes Iverno and will be greeted by Captain Aelfyr of the Steel Garrote.

After a brief conversation with the captain, find Governor Ignassi Vidarro to continue the quest. If you have trouble looking for his manor, you can follow the noise from the crowd.

Initially, the governor will dismiss you and tell the party he has pressing matters to attend to until you clarify that you are sent under orders from Ambassador Hylgard. The conversation will spiral to the situation at Emerald Stairs, and your envoy will suggest a solution involving animancers. While the governor is reluctant to use animancy, Giatta is confident it will help them solve their problems.

After speaking with the governor, proceed to Giatta's home behind Bone and Boar. She lives southwest of the town, and she will give you three objectives that can be finished in any order:

Speak to Elia Rossell at the Revenant Farm.
Speak to Ivette and Remi at the docks.
Speak to Monto at the Animancy Workshop in Fior mes Iverno.

All these people owe Giatta a favor, and she knows these animancers have viable intelligence. Two of the three tasks require you to take down a certain opponent or collect a specific item. It would be best to find Elia first since her requirement is for you to defeat Silvo the Revenant.

After defeating Silvo, return to Elia to ask her about what she knows about the Dreamscourge. You can proceed to the docks and speak to Remi and Ivette, and the pair is the easiest one to conversate with. The duo will tell you everything they know, and you can go on your merry way.

Lastly, you can find Monto at the Animancy Workshop in the city. While his requirements are not as physically demanding as Elia's, he will ask you to find the Adragan Heart. You can find this item at the Delemgan Glade.

Genocide or Pacifist method

Upon entering Delemgan Glade, you can take an Adragan heart without violence by approaching the Delemgan Queen's people without hostile intent. You can walk right in and engage in a civilized conversation with the Queen, and she will give you the quest item. This pacifist method is much more ideal, and you won't have to waste time fighting her minions.

Alternatively, if your cover is blown or if you prefer to take the item by force, you will have to wipe out the Delemgan Queen's forces and take her on as a boss fight. This genocide approach is much more time-consuming, but you will still get the quest item by looting her corpse.

Once you have the item, return it to Monto and place the heart into his contraption. He will then tell you everything you need to know, and you can report back to Giatta at her home.

Wrapping up the Animancy Method

This whole quest is about getting Giatta to join your party (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Xbox Game Studios)

Report back to Giatta, and she will hand you a basement key that can open a locked door. You can collect Giatta's Phantasmal Focus, and then the main quest will conclude with her joining your party. Whatever items you have collected along the way will be your reward.
