Avowed: Sapadal Power – Accept or Reject?

by Carter Mar 12,2025

In *Avowed*, the choice presented by Sapadal during the "Ancient Soil" mission—an offer of power—might initially seem a difficult decision. However, a closer look reveals a clear winner. Choosing wisely significantly impacts your godlike's strength.

To build the most powerful godlike character in *Avowed*, accepting Sapadal's offer is the superior choice. The resulting ability far surpasses the alternative.

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

For optimal godlike strength in *Avowed*, accept Sapadal's offer of power. The reward, "Thorn of Sapadal," offers significantly more utility than the alternative.

"Thorn of Sapadal" fires an energy thorn piercing multiple enemies, dealing damage and temporarily rooting them. This is incredibly useful for both damage output and setting up devastating combos with other abilities, such as the Fireball spell. The temporary root effect provides crucial time for aiming and casting.

Rejecting Sapadal’s Offer

Refusing Sapadal's power grants "Godlike's Will," providing an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are helpful, they don't compare to the strategic advantage of "Thorn of Sapadal".

Rejecting Sapadal's offer is only advisable if you seek a significantly increased challenge. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting is the clear choice.
