Survivalist Chest Key Location in Avowed
Players can find the Survivalist Chest in the Ancient Lakebed area in the Shatterscarp region of Avowed. The location is located towards the east of the infected homestead and is pretty easy to find.
Eliminating the Enemies in the Ancient Lakebed
As players approach the area, they’ll be ambushed by a group of Xaurips and Blights. Due to the sheer number of enemies, it’s not really a good idea to run away. So you’ll need to start by targeting the Xaurip Priests and the Bulwark.
These should be your number one priority before taking out all the other smaller enemies. After they’ve been eliminated, focus your attention on the Blights and make quick work of them.
Reaching the Survivalists & Getting the Survivalist Chest Key
Once the area is clear of enemies, approach the location marked on the map, and you’ll find some rocks grouped together to form steps with wooden boards placed on them. So, hop across the rocks until you reach an elevated area with a group of survivalists resting by a campfire.
Talk to the person standing on the edge, and they’ll spark a conversation about the plagues. You’ll have to pass a speech check with intellect level 6 being a requirement. Once you do that, convince the survivalist that there’s strength in numbers, and he’ll give the Survivalist Chest Key
to you.
Opening the Survivalist Chest
Once you have the key, open the Survivalist chest next to the campfire to get Climber’s Crampons
