Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?

In *Avowed*, the choice presented by Sapadal during the "Ancient Soil" mission—accepting or rejecting their offer of power—initially seems complex. However, a direct comparison of the resulting abilities reveals a clear winner for optimal gameplay.

To build the strongest godlike character, accepting Sapadal's offer is strongly recommended. The reward, "Thorn of Sapadal," significantly surpasses the alternative.

The Benefits of Accepting Sapadal's Power

"Thorn of Sapadal" fires an energy thorn piercing multiple enemies, dealing damage and briefly rooting them. This ability is incredibly valuable, offering both direct damage and crucial crowd control. The root effect creates openings for devastating combos, such as perfectly timed Fireball spells.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: The "Godlike's Will" Ability

Refusing Sapadal's power grants "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier in the game. While extra Ability Points are always useful for skill progression, "Thorn of Sapadal" offers a far superior combat advantage.

Choosing to reject Sapadal's offer only makes sense if you intentionally seek a more challenging playthrough. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting the power is the clear choice.
