Avowed: Sapadal Power Decision Impacts Gameplay

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to a previous "Voice" mission, initially presents a difficult choice. However, comparing 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 strongly recommended. The resulting ability significantly surpasses the alternative.

Accepting Sapadal's Offer: The Thorn of Sapadal

Accepting grants the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them." This offers substantial advantages. Beyond the damage, the temporary root effect creates excellent combo opportunities, providing extra time for spells like Fireball.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

Refusal yields "Godlike's Will," granting an extra Ability Point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are useful, the unique Thorn of Sapadal ability is far more beneficial.

Rejecting Sapadal's power only makes sense for players seeking a significantly increased challenge. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting is the best strategy.
