Unveiling the Potential of Sapadal's Power in 'Avowed'

by Isabella Feb 20,2025

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 yields the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy that pierces multiple enemies, inflicting damage and briefly rooting them." This is advantageous for both damage output and creating tactical openings for combos, such as providing 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 beneficial, a unique ability like Thorn of Sapadal offers far greater advantages.

Only players seeking a significantly harder challenge should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting Sapadal's power is the recommended choice.
