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. This grants a significantly more useful ability than rejecting the offer.
Accepting Sapadal's Offer: The Thorn of Sapadal
Accepting yields 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 substantial advantages. Beyond the damage, the root effect creates valuable openings for combos, such as providing extra time to cast spells like Fireball.
Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will
Refusing Sapadal's power 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 helpful for skill development, it pales in comparison to the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal.
Only players seeking a significantly increased challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and gameplay enjoyment, accepting Sapadal's power is the recommended choice.
