How to Get Paradisan Ladder in Avowed

There are five primary methods to obtain Paradisan Ladder in *Avowed*: purchasing from Merylin the merchant, finding plants while exploring, acquiring it through side quest rewards, breaking down items, and downgrading Hylea’s Talon.

Merylin the Merchant

The fastest and most reliable way to get Paradisan Ladder is by buying it from Merylin the merchant, located in South Paradise as shown on the map above. Upon your first interaction, Merylin will mention her rivalry with her blacksmith sister, after which you can purchase from her inventory. She offers five units of Paradisan Ladder at 150 coins each. Additionally, you can buy the unique Many-Hued Doublet light armor and the Common Grimoire of Elements, which can be broken down for two units of Paradisan Ladder each. Note that Merylin's inventory does not replenish once sold out, so it's best to buy what you need immediately for quick upgrades.

Find Paradisan Ladder When Exploring in the Wild & in Cities

While exploring *Avowed's* wild areas and cities like Paradis, keep an eye out for the plant logo on your mini-map, as indicated by the red circle above. Paradisan Ladder can be easily confused with other plants, but collecting any you find during your quests will help you build a steady supply at no cost.

Side Quests

*Avowed* encourages players to engage in side quests, which often reward you with crafting materials like Paradisan Ladder. For instance, the early side quest "Escape Plan" rewards you with two units of Paradisan Ladder among other upgrade materials. Completing these quests not only provides you with the herb but also offers XP and other bonuses, making it a worthwhile endeavor.

Breaking Down Items

In *Avowed*, you can break down items at your party camp workbench to retrieve their core crafting materials, including Paradisan Ladder. If you've upgraded an item with Paradisan Ladder, breaking it down will allow you to recover some of it for reuse. Additionally, check merchants' inventories for unique items that can be broken down for Paradisan Ladder, as mentioned in their item descriptions.

Downgrading Hylea’s Talon Into Paradisan Ladder

Once you reach Emerald Stair in the campaign and obtain Hylea’s Talon, you can downgrade it at your party camp workbench to get three units of Paradisan Ladder per Talon. This is particularly useful if you're looking to quickly upgrade a different weapon to match your current equipment level.

Now that you're equipped with all the ways to gather Paradisan Ladder, you can enhance your gameplay experience in *Avowed*. For more information, explore when *Avowed* takes place in the Pillars of Eternity timeline and whether it includes multiplayer functionality.
