How to Unlock Companion Training in Avowed
You can unlock training by speaking with your companions at a party camp. They will always have something to discuss with you, often regarding a recently completed quest.Ask them if they have any tips for survivinginAvowed. When a companion is finally ready (and willing) to train you, they will give you three dialogue choices, each providing a set of bonus stats as training rewards for your character.
It is not entirely clear when or how companions become ready to train you inAvowed. Their training may be tied to specific regions or mainline quests. For example, Kai’s training rewards can be unlocked as early as Dawnshore, while Giatta and Yatzli offer theirs in Shatterscrap. Marius, however, will only train you after reaching Galawain’s Tusks, provided you keep asking him aboutsurvival tips in each region.
Since the exact trigger remains unconfirmed, follow the steps below to ensure you unlock training from all companions during your playthrough.
Whenever companions have something to say, you will see their speech bubbles appear on the left side of your HUD. That will be your reason tofast-travel to a party camp.
All Companion Training Rewards in Avowed
Below are all the dialogue choices and their respective stat bonuses that you can unlock for each companion inAvowed. Something important to keep in mind is that you can train with each companion only once, so make your first choice count.
Also,all companion training bonuses remain active even if the companion is not in your party. For instance, you still benefit fromMarius’s Dexterity bonuseven if you leave him behind at camp. Hence, make it a habit to speak with every companion at camp to unlock their training rewards inAvowed.

How to Check Your Training Rewards in Avowed
If you cannot remember which companions have given their stat rewards or just want toredistribute your attribute points,press Tab (PC) or Back (Xbox) to open your character screen. Select any attribute from the left window and check if it mentions a companion training reward. For example, the image above confirms that Giatta’s training rewarded my character with +2 Resolve inAvowed.
Knowing your bonus stats is important for optimizing your build. Since attributes max out at 15, Kai’s +2 Might bonus reward at 14 Might means you are wasting +1 Might. So, you will have to respec to spend that +1 attribute point somewhere else.
