The decision of whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas in Avowed is a pivotal early choice with drastically different outcomes. This guide details the consequences of giving Sargamis the relic.
What Happens If You Give the Splinter to Sargamis?
After agreeing to give Sargamis the Splinter, you face multiple paths:
- Persuade Sargamis to use the statue: This results in Sargamis' death and rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace. Choosing this path also grants the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Reloading the game restarts you before the statue activation.
- Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to your own death and another branching path.
- Change your mind: This triggers a fight with Sargamis, treating him as a challenging early-game boss. He summons spirit creatures and uses powerful thrusting attacks. Victory rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace.
Completing Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis:
The optimal approach involves convincing Sargamis his plan is futile. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Specific background choices, such as Court Augur or Arcane Scholar, may provide additional dialogue options to achieve this. Place the Splinter in the statue, activate it (it will fail), and then reason with Sargamis, demonstrating the futility of his actions. Avoid the intellect option regarding live soul transfer. This path yields more experience than combat or simply handing over the Splinter.
After Sargamis departs, you can choose to either allow the voice to utilize the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speak with Sargamis in his quarters to complete this portion of the Dawntreader quest.
What Happens If You Don't Give the Splinter to Sargamis?
Refusing to surrender the Splinter initiates a battle with Sargamis. He's a formidable opponent, aided by two spirit creatures. His swift thrusting attacks are dangerous, but he's vulnerable to freezing spells. Defeating him grants the Last Light of Day mace.
