Where to find The Blade That Hungers Treasure Map location in Avowed

To officially begin The Blade That Hungers Treasure Map in Avowed, head to the top floor of Solace Keep and purchase the map from Bulti, for 4,032 Skeyt. It’s a little pricey, so if you don’t want to spend that much and just want to grab the item, we can help you do that as well.

You’ll find The Blade That Hungers Treasure Map location a bit further north of the Ash Forest in Avowed’s Galawain’s Tusks. The easiest fast travel locations are either the Primordial Depths Party Camp or the Ash Forest beacon if you have it. Go north of where you see “Ash Forest” on the map - look for the spider nests in the rocks. Fight through the few spiders here and head to the section on the map above. There’s a crevice here to take you into the rocky walls.

Walk through this area and head up the path. When you get to the end, there’s a small alcove at the end with a treasure chest. It’s a straightforward path, as long as you don’t drop down — that takes you to where you started. Your reward is in the treasure chest.

What is The Blade That Hungers Treasure Map reward in Avowed?

The reward for The Blade That Hungers is the Umbral Needle, a Unique Dagger. Its quality will depend on what you’re currently equipped with — in my case, it came out as a legendary dagger since I was wielding legendary equipment at the time. It comes with the following enchantments:

• Fampyr’s Bite: Restore 2% of the damage you deal as Health.
• Greater Opening Strike: +15% Damage against enemies with full Health

It’s an okay weapon, being placed at C-tier in our weapon tier list. It’s average at best — I could see there being niche uses and builds where it could be a powerful blade, but it’s not one I would personally use as my main blade.
