After you are abruptly murdered in the streets of Paradis inAvowed, you have to find an NPC named the “Watcher” to give you a clean bill of health. The normal doctor in Paradis has, naturally, never treated someone who died, but the Watcher is a different kind of healer who deals with supernatural elements.

Unfortunately, the Watcher is a difficult NPC to find and reach inAvowed, so let’s see exactly where she’s located in Dawnshore.

The Watcher’s location in Avowed

During the main story quest “An Untimely End,” you’re given a quest marker to the Watcher’s location on the map. While this is a decent starting point for where to go, actually getting to the Watcher is a different story. The location of the NPC isn’t a straight shot up a clear trail; instead, you have to traverse some difficult terrain and off-the-beaten paths to reach her.

Below, we’ll give you a breakdown of exactly what you need to do to reach the Watcher inAvowed:

The trickiest element of this journey is freezing the water underneath the broken bridge. When you initially see the broken bridge, you might turn around or try to jump to the other side, which is impossible. However, all you need to do is bring a Grimoire of the Elements book, use a freeze spell from the Wizard’s skill tree, or throw an Eye of Rymrgand grenade in the middle of the water under the bridge. You can also create multiple patches of ice by using more than one of those methods, but keep in mind the ice patches only last for around five seconds.

After you get across the bridge, it’s smooth sailing, as there’s a pretty clear path laid out for you from there. You have to travel around 100 more meters to get to Ruynd’s House. There’s also an NPC you can speak to just outside of her house as well as a dead body with a unique ring, the Wayfarer’s Ring, that you can loot.

When you arrive at the Watcher’s abode, head inside and speak to her to progress the An Untimely End quest in Avowed. After speaking with the Watcher, I recommend checking out her house, as there are some chests and other items lying around that you’re able to take for yourself. One of the chests in the upstairs part of the house contains some much-needed Adra. But once the quest is done, you can return to Paradis and speak with the ambassador to continue the story inAvowed.
