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

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 highly recommended. This grants a significantly more useful ability than refusing.

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 is advantageous for both damage output and creating combat openings for other abilities (like Fireball).

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will

Refusing Sapadal grants "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are helpful, a unique ability like Thorn of Sapadal offers a more substantial advantage.

Only refuse Sapadal's offer if you deliberately seek increased game difficulty. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the best strategy.
