Avowed: Evaluate Sapadal's Power

Author: Emma Feb 21,2025

In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to "The Voice" mission, 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 offer during the "Ancient Soil" mission is strongly recommended. The resulting ability significantly surpasses the alternative.

Accepting Sapadal's offer grants "Thorn of Sapadal": This ability fires an energy thorn piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them. Its utility extends beyond damage; the root effect creates openings for devastating combos, such as enhanced Fireball spellcasting.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer

Refusal yields "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. This is identical to the reward for rejecting "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are useful, "Thorn of Sapadal" offers a superior advantage.

Rejecting Sapadal's power is only advisable for players seeking maximum difficulty. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the superior strategy.

Having accepted Sapadal's power, consider obtaining Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. To adjust your build, learn how to respec in Avowed and reallocate Ability Points.
