In *Avowed*, the choice presented by Sapadal during the “Ancient Soil” mission—accepting or rejecting their offer of power—might seem daunting at first. However, the superior outcome becomes clear upon comparing the results. For the most powerful godlike build, accepting Sapadal's offer is the definitive choice.
Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?
To maximize your godlike's potential in *Avowed*, accept Sapadal's power. The resulting ability far surpasses the alternative.
The Benefits of Accepting Sapadal's Power

Accepting grants you 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 is a powerful addition to your arsenal. The damage is significant, and the root effect creates excellent opportunities for combos, providing crucial time for spells like Fireball.
Rejecting Sapadal's Offer
Refusing Sapadal's power yields "Godlike's Will," granting an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing the "Healing Touch" earlier. While extra Ability Points are always useful for skill development, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal offers a far greater advantage.
The only reason to reject Sapadal's offer is to intentionally increase the game's difficulty. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting is the superior strategy.
