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

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to a previous "The 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 highly 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 that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place." This ability offers significant advantages: increased damage output and crowd control, creating opportunities for devastating combos with other spells or abilities (like the Fireball spell).

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

Refusing Sapadal's offer provides "Godlike's Will," granting an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are useful for skill development, the unique power of Thorn of Sapadal is far more impactful.

Only players seeking a significantly increased challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting Sapadal's power is the superior choice.

Having accepted Sapadal's power, consider obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. If you need to adjust your build, learn how to respec in Avowed to redistribute Ability Points.
