Should You Give the Splinter of Eothas Relic to Sargamis in Avowed?

One of the first major decisions in *Avowed* involves whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas, a choice with dramatically different consequences. This guide details the outcomes of giving Sargamis the splinter.

What Happens If You Don't Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?

Refusing Sargamis the splinter initiates a fight. He becomes a challenging early-game boss, summoning spirit creatures and using swift, powerful sword attacks. He's vulnerable to freezing spells. Defeating him rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace, a unique weapon restoring health on kills and boosting fire damage.

What Happens If You Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?

Agreeing to give Sargamis the splinter presents multiple paths. You can persuade him to place himself in the statue, resulting in his death and obtaining the Last Light of Day mace. Alternatively, you can offer yourself to the statue, leading to another branching path. Choosing to leave the circle after Sargamis instructs you to stand still triggers a fight.

How To Finish Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis in Avowed

The optimal outcome involves convincing Sargamis his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Placing the splinter in the statue beforehand, activating the machine, and then speaking with Sargamis allows you to convince him to abandon his plan. This path generally requires the Court Augur or Arcane Scholar background, though other backgrounds may offer similar choices. After Sargamis leaves, you can choose to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. Speaking with Sargamis afterward completes the quest, yielding more experience than combat or surrendering the splinter.
