Deciding whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas in Avowed is a pivotal choice with drastically different consequences. This guide details the outcomes of giving Sargamis the splinter.
Giving Sargamis the Splinter:
After agreeing to give the splinter, you face several options:
- Persuade Sargamis to enter the statue: This results in Sargamis' death and rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace. This also grants the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Reloading the game restarts you before the statue activation.
- Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to a branching path, with the possibility of Sargamis attacking you if you leave the activation circle before he completes the ritual.
- Change your mind: This immediately triggers a fight with Sargamis.
Completing Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis:
The optimal approach involves convincing Sargamis his plan is futile. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Backgrounds like Court Augur and Arcane Scholar may offer dialogue options conducive to this approach.
Place the splinter in the statue, activate it (it will fail), and then speak with Sargamis. Successfully convincing him leads to him abandoning his plan. You then choose whether to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. This path yields more experience than combat or simply giving him the splinter.
Not Giving Sargamis the Splinter:
Refusing to hand over the splinter initiates a boss fight. Sargamis summons spirit creatures and utilizes swift, powerful attacks. He's vulnerable to freezing spells. Defeating him rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace.
