Sapadal's Power in Avowed: Accept or Reject?

In the *Avowed* game, during the "Ancient Soil" campaign mission, you face a pivotal decision when Sapadal offers you power. At first glance, the choice might seem daunting, but once you understand the outcomes, the decision becomes clear. If you're aiming to optimize your godlike character's strength, accepting Sapadal's offer is the way to go.

Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?

If you want your godlike to be as strong as possible in *Avowed*, you should definitely accept Sapadal’s offer of power. This choice grants you an ability that outshines the one you receive if you refuse.

Upon accepting Sapadal's offer of power in *Avowed*, you unlock the formidable ability known as "Thorn of Sapadal." This namesake power enhances your combat prowess significantly with the following description: "Fires a thorn of energy that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place."

The "Thorn of Sapadal" ability is invaluable in various combat scenarios. It not only provides additional damage but also temporarily immobilizes enemies, creating opportunities for synergistic attacks, such as casting and aiming the devastating Fireball spell.

If You Reject Sapadal’s Offer of Power in Avowed

Choosing to reject Sapadal's offer of power results in receiving "Godlike’s Will," which grants an additional Ability Point to be spent in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. This is the same ability you would get if you previously declined Sapadal’s "Healing Touch" earlier in the campaign.

While an extra Ability Point is always useful for enhancing your skillset, the exclusive "Thorn of Sapadal" ability is far superior. The only rationale for rejecting Sapadal’s offer in this context would be to increase the game's difficulty, challenging yourself further. However, for those looking to create the most effective godlike build and enjoy the game to its fullest, accepting the offer is the optimal choice.

Now that you understand the benefits of accepting Sapadal's offer, consider enhancing your character further by acquiring Hylea’s Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. If you're looking to adjust your build, learn how to respec in *Avowed* to reallocate your Ability Points into new abilities.
