Avowed: How To Reach The Watcher (An Untimely End)

Published Feb 21, 2025

Followed

The Untimely End mission in Avowed requires you to reach the Watcher, but there is a troublesome obstacle in your way where normal means you can't reach it. The location of the Watcher is marked plainly and simply on your map, making it easy to find by merely following the objective. However, the fallen bridge over the water means you can't walk over to the other side and finish your journey.

However, forcing you to make use of the game's mechanics, like some of the other available quests to collect, there are multiple ways you can get there. In particular, this involves utilizing one of the magical elements. There is a hidden weapon nearby that will result in your trek across being even more efficient.

How To Get To The Watcher In Avowed

Find A Chilled Solution

To get across the lake to see the Watcher during the Untimely End mission in Avowed, you need to use either an Ice magic spell or a weapon enchanted with ice magic. This will allow you to freeze the water into platform-like sections so you can get across. Blizzard is one of the coolest spells to learn in the game first. One of the easiest ways to use this is by accessing the Memory at the Watcher's Mirror nearby, which gives you access to an ice-based weapon.

Using Drawn in Winter in Avowed to find the Watcher

To get across the lake now you have Drawn in Winter, swing the axe right toward the water. If close enough, the water will freeze in sections, and you and your companions will get across. The rest of the journey to the Watcher is straightforward, from what I found in my playthrough. Just walk toward the location marked with the arrow, and you will soon find yourself in front of the Watcher's house.

If you swing Drawn in Winter and the water isn't freezing, shift your camera angle lower so the axe will swing closer to it.

There will be a Perturbed Patron right by the house you can talk to, and he will give you a coin to put in the pond after your reading. The Watcher will then be found inside the house for your reading, whatever you decide. As long as you have an ice-enchanted weapon or spell, you can cross watery obstacles in Avowed to find your way to other hard-to-reach spots.
