Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to a previous "Voice" mission, initially presents a difficult choice. However, a direct comparison of the outcomes reveals a clear superior option.

Should You Accept Sapadal's Power?

For optimal godlike strength in Avowed, accepting Sapadal's offer during the "Ancient Soil" mission is highly recommended. The resulting ability far surpasses the alternative.

Accepting Sapadal's Offer: The Thorn of Sapadal

Choosing to accept grants the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place."

This ability offers significant advantages. It's a potent damage source and the root effect creates valuable openings for combos, such as enhanced Fireball spellcasting.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

Refusal yields "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. This is identical to the reward for rejecting "Healing Touch" earlier.

While extra Ability Points are beneficial, the unique power of Thorn of Sapadal is far more impactful. Only players seeking a significantly harder challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the superior choice.
