Intimidating Feline Codpiece is one of the vaguest treasure maps in Avowed, offering only a skyline and some rocks as clues to its location in Dawnshore. The road to this treasure location takes you through the wilderness and past some dangerous enemies, so make sure you’ve got some food or potions on-hand before heading out.
This Avowed guide shows where to find the Intimidating Feline Codpiece treasure map, where this quest’s unique armor set is, and what it offers you.
Where to find Intimidating Feline Codpiece treasure map

This map is for sale in Claviger’s Landing from the merchant Lynna, the middle one of the three merchants just north of the dock. It costs a few hundred skeyt. The map isn’t going anywhere, so there’s no rush if you need to scavenge for extra equipment to sell.
Intimidating Feline Codpiece location solution

Unlike with Captain Henqua’s Spoils, the Intimidating Feline Codpiece map only shows you the treasure’s specific location, with few indicators pointing to its general area.
If you want to try finding it yourself, pay attention to the background. Mountains are in the distance and to the right, which rules out a western or south-facing location. That means you’re looking for a spot in eastern Dawnshore where tall mountains are visible ahead of you, so you can ignore some of the ruins and areas where your line of sight is blocked.

The exact area you’re looking for is just below Watcher’s Mirror, though you can’t reach it by jumping down from that location.
Start from the Rise party camp, and head east. Ignore the tunnel that leads you to Watcher’s Mirror, turn right, and make your way around to the northeast instead. You’ll pass near a ruined fortress, but don’t linger too long. Tier-two phantom enemies patrol the area, and unless you’ve upgraded your armor to to that quality already, they can defeat you with just a couple of attacks.
Follow the path north until the cliff to your left gives way to another path, and you’ll see the spot shown below.

To the left is a small cavern, blocked by boards you can demolish with a sword, axe, dagger, or mace, and inside you’ll find the Stelgaer’s Pride armor set.
(To save yourself some backtracking later, check the ground behind you near the edge of the ravine for a rare herb that features in the “Escape Plan” quest you can pick up in Shantytown. The herb’s location is even with the giant fossilized skull, if you’re having trouble finding it. Completing that quest gives you a peaceful route through the main quest where you track your killer during “An Untimely End,” so it’s worth doing if you’d rather avoid clashing with the Paradis resistance.)

Despite the name, Stelgaer’s Pride is a full set of armor and not just a codpiece, though it does include that as well. It starts as a level two item of Common quality.
- 18% damage reduction
- 9 additional damage reduction
- -35 maximum stamina
- -30 maximum essence
Stelgaer’s Pride enchantments
- Bloodied Fury: You cast Barbaric Shout when you sustain damage that is greater than 30% of your max health
- Lesser Relentless: +5% stamina regeneration rate
Bloodied Fury is a level five fighter skill that increases your interruption resistance when casting skills and boosts your attack for a short time. That, along with the stamina and essence penalties, make Stelgaer’s Pride better-suited for a tanky melee build where evasion plays a lesser role in your battle plans.
