How to find the Fort Northreach storage key in Avowed

While the Avowed Fort Northreach storage key is found close to the door that it unlocks, you can easily breeze past and miss it completely if you aren't performing a thorough sweep of the area. While it isn't an essential task to get into that storage room, it's absolutely worth doing so you can secure some armor to help protect you during the initial section of Avowed – then when you're done with it you can scrap it for upgrade materials, that are useful when you're upgrading items in Avowed. Read on for details on exactly where to find the Fort Northreach storage key, and how to use it.

Avowed Fort Northreach storage key location

To find the key for the Fort Northreach storage room door in Avowed, head through the busted brick wall into a large room with a massive turquoise crystal inside. To the right of this crystal, you'll see an open, square-shaped doorway that leads to the fort exterior, and just by that opening you'll see a dead guard. Loot this body to find the Fort Northreach storage key, as well 20 copper skeyts and a common round shield.

Now you can go back to the storage room door and unlock it, where you'll find a chest inside with a common breastplate you can loot. It might not sound like the greatest reward, but at this point some sturdy armor will help you for what's ahead, so make sure you grab it, and equip it with the shield you took from the dead guard. That will give you a decent boost to your defense before things get violent ahead.

After clearing this room carry on through Fort Northreach, fighting more xaurip enemies and eventually coming across a prisoner called Ilora. Here you'll need to decide if you'll free Ilora in Avowed or leave her as there are consequences to doing either you'll probably want to weigh up.
