In *Avowed*, the decision to accept or reject Sapadal's offer of power during the "Ancient Soil" campaign mission can initially feel daunting. Yet, once you delve into the outcomes of both choices, the path to optimizing your godlike character becomes clear.
Should You Accept or Reject Sapadal’s Power in Avowed?
For those aiming to maximize their godlike's strength in *Avowed*, accepting Sapadal's offer of power is the recommended choice. This decision unlocks an ability that significantly outshines the alternative you receive upon refusal.
The Ability You Get for Accepting

This ability launches a thorn of energy capable of piercing through multiple enemies, inflicting damage upon impact and momentarily rooting them in place. This not only boosts your damage output but also synergizes well with other combat strategies, such as setting up devastating combos with spells like Fireball.
If You Reject Sapadal’s Offer of Power in Avowed
Opting to reject Sapadal's offer grants you the "Godlike’s Will" ability, providing an additional Ability Point to allocate within the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. This ability mirrors the one you receive if you previously declined Sapadal's "Healing Touch" earlier in the campaign. While an extra Ability Point is beneficial, the unique and potent nature of Thorn of Sapadal makes accepting the offer a more advantageous choice for enhancing your godlike build.
The only compelling reason to reject Sapadal's offer would be if you're seeking to increase the game's difficulty for a more challenging experience. However, if your goal is to craft the most effective and enjoyable godlike build, accepting the offer is the clear winner.
