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. 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 ability offers significant advantages. It's a potent damage source and the root effect creates valuable openings for combos, such as providing extra time to cast spells like Fireball.

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 helpful for skill development, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal is far more beneficial.

Only players seeking a significantly increased challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting Sapadal's power is the superior strategy.
