God Totems (also called God Shrine Totems) are special items in Avowed that are collected during the course of the game. Each totem is dedicated to a particular god in Eora's pantheon.

Overview[]

A complete totem is assembled from a series of 6 God Shrine Totem Fragments and a single God Shrine Totem Base that are hidden throughout the Living Lands. Once the base is collected, it can be displayed at the Totem Shrine in the Party Camp, and each fragment found for that totem can be placed upon it.

Every fragment added to the totem grants it's Activated God Totem Blessing additional effects, which may be toggled on or off by interacting with the shrine, although you may only recieve the blessing of one totem at a time.

Typically, each totem has:

The rest of the effects are themed around the God and their pantheon.

Once all fragments for a specific totem are collected, the totem is fully restored. This doesn't grant any more bonuses beyond the 6 that are available from each fragment, but does complete the associated quest - which is worth a small amount of experience.

In the current game, there are four totems - one per major region. Each totem also has a quest associated with it, and a "map" that provides clues as to where to find the totem pieces that can be purchased from various shops in each region. Finding a totem fragment, totem base, or purchasing the map will start the quest.
