In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to an earlier "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. 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 pierces multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them." This is advantageous for several reasons. It provides additional damage and the root effect creates opportunities for combos, such as enhanced spellcasting.
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 extra Ability Points are beneficial for skill development, the unique Thorn of Sapadal ability is far more impactful.
Only players seeking a significantly increased challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting Sapadal's power is the recommended strategy.
To further enhance your build, explore obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. The respec option in Avowed allows for Ability Point reallocation if needed.
