Sapadal's Power in Avowed: Accept or Reject?

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, much like a previous "The Voice" mission, initially presents a difficult choice. However, comparing the outcomes reveals a clear winner.

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 you the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability.

This ability fires an energy thorn piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them. Its dual functionality – damage and crowd control – makes it incredibly useful, especially for combo attacks with 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 beneficial for skill customization, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal is significantly superior. Only players seeking maximum difficulty should consider rejecting the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the best strategy.
