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 piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them." This is advantageous for both damage output and creating combat openings for other abilities, such as 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, a unique ability like Thorn of Sapadal offers far greater benefit.

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