Avowed's Sapadal Power: Embrace or Dismiss?

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, much like 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 power during the "Ancient Soil" mission is strongly recommended. The resulting ability far surpasses the alternative.

The Benefits of Accepting: Thorn of Sapadal

Accepting yields the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy that pierces multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them." This is advantageous for several reasons. It's a potent damage source and the root effect creates openings for devastating combos, such as enhanced Fireball spellcasting.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

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

While an extra Ability Point is beneficial for skill development, the unique power of Thorn of Sapadal is significantly more valuable. Only players seeking maximum difficulty should consider rejection. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the better strategy.

Having accepted Sapadal's power, consider obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. For build adjustments, learn how to respec in Avowed to reallocate Ability Points.
