How To Get Paradisan Ladder in Avowed

There are five effective methods to acquire Paradisan Ladder in *Avowed*: purchasing from Merylin the merchant, exploring wild and urban areas, completing side quests, breaking down infused items, and downgrading Hylea’s Talon.

Merylin the Merchant

The most direct way to obtain Paradisan Ladder is by visiting Merylin the merchant in South Paradise. Her location is easily identifiable on the map above. On your first visit, Merylin will mention a rivalry with her blacksmith sister before offering her inventory. She stocks five units of Paradisan Ladder at 150 coins each. Additionally, you can purchase the unique Many-Hued Doublet light armor and the Common Grimoire of Elements, both of which can be broken down for two units of Paradisan Ladder each. Note that her inventory does not replenish once sold out, making a visit to her ideal for immediate upgrades.

Find Paradisan Ladder When Exploring in the Wild & in Cities

Exploring *Avowed's* wild areas and certain city locations like Paradis can yield Paradisan Ladder. Keep an eye on your mini-map for the plant logo, as highlighted in the image above. Although it may be confused with other plants, collecting them as you progress through the game's quests is a cost-effective way to build your stockpile.

Side Quests

*Avowed* incentivizes players to engage in side quests, which can reward you with Paradisan Ladder. For instance, the early side quest "Escape Plan" offers two units of the herb among other crafting materials. This method not only helps in gathering the necessary resources but also provides additional XP and other bonuses, making it a beneficial grind.

Breaking Down Items

In *Avowed*, breaking down upgraded items at your party camp workbench can recover some of the Paradisan Ladder used in their enhancement. This is particularly useful for repurposing materials. You can also check merchant inventories for unique items that list Paradisan Ladder in their "Break Down" section.

Downgrading Hylea’s Talon Into Paradisan Ladder

Once you've advanced to Emerald Stair in the campaign and acquired Hylea’s Talon, you can downgrade it into three units of Paradisan Ladder at your party camp's workbench. This method is particularly useful if you're looking to switch to a different weapon type and need a quick upgrade to match your current equipment level.

With these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to gather Paradisan Ladder efficiently. For further context, you might want to explore when *Avowed* takes place within the Pillars of Eternity timeline, or check if the game offers any multiplayer features or remains strictly single-player.
