In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, much like a previous "Voice" offer, initially presents a difficult choice. However, comparing the outcomes reveals a clear winner.

Should You Accept Sapadal's Power?

For optimal godlike strength in Avowed, accepting Sapadal's power during the "Ancient Soil" mission is highly recommended. This grants you a significantly superior ability compared to rejecting the offer.

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 ability offers considerable advantages. It's a powerful damage source and the root effect creates excellent opportunities 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 the "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are useful for skill customization, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal is far more beneficial.

Only refuse Sapadal's offer if you intentionally seek a greater challenge. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the superior choice.
