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. The resulting ability significantly surpasses the alternative.
The Benefits of Accepting:
Accepting grants 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 devastating combos, such as providing extra time to cast spells like Fireball.
Rejecting Sapadal's Offer:
Refusing Sapadal's power 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 an extra Ability Point is helpful, 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 enjoyable gameplay, accepting Sapadal's power is the superior choice.
To further enhance your build, explore obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. The respec option in Avowed allows for reallocation of Ability Points if needed.
