In the Avowed mission "Ancient Soil," you face a pivotal decision regarding Sapadal's offer of power, reminiscent of the choice presented by "The Voice" in an earlier mission. At first glance, this choice might seem challenging, but a closer look at the outcomes reveals a clear winner.
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 during the "Ancient Soil" mission is the way to go. The ability you gain from accepting is far superior to the one you receive if you decline.

The Ability You Get for Accepting
Upon accepting Sapadal’s offer in Avowed, you unlock the formidable "Thorn of Sapadal" ability. This powerful skill allows you to "Fire a thorn of energy that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place." This ability not only enhances 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 "Godlike’s Will," which simply provides an extra Ability Point to be spent in the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. This is the same reward you get for declining Sapadal’s earlier offer of "Healing Touch."
While an additional Ability Point can be beneficial for customizing your build, it pales in comparison to the unique advantages offered by Thorn of Sapadal. The only scenario where rejecting the offer makes sense is if you're intentionally seeking to increase the game's difficulty for a more challenging experience.
Ultimately, if your goal is to craft the most potent godlike build and enjoy the game to its fullest, accepting Sapadal’s offer is the clear choice.
