In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to "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 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 significant advantages. It's a powerful damage source and the root effect creates excellent opportunities for combos, such as extended casting time for spells like Fireball.
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 extra Ability Points are beneficial for skill development, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal is far superior.
Only players seeking maximum difficulty should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting Sapadal's power is the recommended choice.
To further enhance your build, learn how to obtain Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades, and utilize the respec option to redistribute Ability Points as needed.
