All Totem of Perseverance piece locations in Avowed

The Totem of Perseverance is one of Avowed’s four god totems — collectibles that grant boons based on how many pieces you find. The Totem of Perseverance is the god totem for the Galawain’s Tusks region.

All seven fragments of the Totem of Perseverance are hidden around Galawain’s Tusks and its capital, Solace Keep. As soon as you find one piece of the totem (or purchase the “Fragments of the Spoils” key item from Quartermaster Yorgu at Solace Keep), you’ll receive a quest to find and complete the Huntmaster’s Spoils. The quest, however, is full of cryptic riddles.

Here’s where to find all Totem of Perseverance pieces in Galawain’s Tusks in Avowed, and what bonuses you’ll receive upon completing the totem.

All Totem of Perseverance locations in Avowed

There are seven pieces of the Totem of Perseverance scattered around Galawain’s Tusks.

To start reconstructing the totem, you’ll need to find the totem’s core (the Galawain totem base), which we’ve labeled as number one in the map above. Once you’ve placed the totem’s core at the totem shrine in the party camp, you can add the totem’s fragments (numbers two through seven on the map) to gain powerful buffs. Each god totem grants up to six buffs — including bonuses to your attribute points — but you can only have one god totem active at a time.

Before searching for the totem pieces, we recommend turning on the “Compass – God Shrine Totem Pieces” setting at the bottom of the UI menu. Turning on this setting will make god totem pieces visible on your compass, and make it slightly easier to pinpoint their exact location in-game.

Above, you can find a map of all Totem of Perseverance locations. Or you can consult the table of contents below to jump to a corresponding detailed description of how to get a specific piece.
