So, you want to bend the elements to your will in Deepwoken? Excellent choice, adventurer! Attunements are the cornerstone of many powerful builds, providing access to devastating mantras and defining your combat style. The core method to unlock additional attunements, aside from the initial Ironsing attunement, involves gathering specific elemental ingredients. Each element demands its unique tribute – collect five of the correct ingredients, and you’re one step closer to harnessing its power. Ironsing is unlocked through a less straight-forward method.
Let’s break down the process and answer some burning questions you might have on your journey to elemental mastery.
The Path to Elemental Attunement
The general principle for unlocking attunements (excluding Ironsing) is as follows:
- Identify the Element: Decide which element you want to unlock. Your choices are: Thundercall, Firecharm, Galewind, and Frostdraw.
- Gather Elemental Ingredients: Each element requires five unique ingredients found in the world. This is the most challenging and time-consuming aspect of unlocking attunements. Research is key! Know where to find the elemental ingredients to make the journey easier.
- Locate the Attunement Shrine: You’ll need to find the appropriate shrine to perform the attunement ritual. Shrines are usually located near the trainers.
- Perform the Ritual: Once at the shrine, interact with it and offer the elemental ingredients. If you have the correct ingredients, you’ll unlock the corresponding attunement.
Once you have an attunement, you’ll need to find the corresponding trainer to upgrade your mantras. The following is a list of where each trainer can be found:
- Thundercall: Summer’s Isle.
- Firecharm: Songseeker Island.
- Galewind: Vigil starting island.
- Frostdraw: Etris island.
- Ironsing does not have a specified trainer.
Deepwoken Attunement FAQs
