How to Get the Death Knight Gloves



Elemental builds are both fun and powerful in Avowed. Frost is particularly effective, especially for crowd control, due to its ability to slow and freeze enemies. If you are running a frost build as well, you are definitely going to need the Death Knight Gloves in Avowed. They increase your frost damage by a significant 15 percent. These unique gauntlets also reduce your stamina cost while blocking by 10 percent, giving you an impressive balance of offense and defense. Here’s how to get your hands on them.

How to Get the Death Knight Gloves in Avowed

Avowed - Captain Aelfyr

The only way to get your hands on the Death Knight Gloves is to defeat Captain Aelfyr and her Steel Garrotes in Avowed. She is tied to the main storyline, making the unique gauntlets unmissable. However, if you have a strong build with enough damage, you can grab the gloves pretty early in your progression. Otherwise, you will have to wait a while.

Your first opportunity to encounter Captain Aelfyr comes in Emerald Stair, where the fight is entirely optional. The second encounter, however, takes place later in Galawain’s Tusks and is a mandatory boss fight. Below are the locations of both encounters, leaving it up to you to decide when to obtain the Death Knight Gauntlets in Avowed.

First Encounter

Avowed - Captain Aelfyr Location 1

Captain Aelfyr can be found guarding the Shatterscarp Gatehouse, north of the Sunken Village in Emerald Stair. You will encounter her as part of the main quest, A Path to the Garden, when you are done with Emerald Stair and ready to travel to the next region, Shatterscarp.

Captain Aelfyr will confront you as you approach the Shatterscarp Gatehouse. If you choose all the friendly dialogue options, she will allow you to pass without conflict. However, you can also choose to attack and kill her to get the Death Knight Gloves early in Avowed.

Second Encounter

Avowed - Captain Aelfyr Location 2

The next time you encounter Captain Aelfyr will be during the Our Dreams Divide Us Still main quest, which marks one of the points of no return in Avowed. If you spare her in Emerald Stair, she will stand in your way again at the entrance of Mt. Forja Quarry in Galawain’s Tusks.

This time, however, she will be a mandatory boss fight. Captain Aelfyr will be infected, and regardless of what dialogue options you choose, she will not allow you to pass without a fight. Kill her and loot her corpse to claim the Death Knight Gloves for yourself.
