Should You Give the Splinter of Eothas Relic to Sargamis in Avowed?

Deciding whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas in Avowed is a crucial early choice with vastly different consequences. This guide explores the various outcomes, including a bad ending, a worse one, and a surprisingly positive resolution.

Giving Sargamis the Splinter:

After agreeing to give Sargamis the Splinter, you face a branching path. You can:

• Persuade him to enter the statue: This results in his death and rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace.
• Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to another set of choices. Standing in the designated circle leads to your death and the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Leaving the circle before activation triggers a fight with Sargamis.
• Change your mind: This immediately provokes a fight with Sargamis.

Refusing to Give the Splinter:

Refusal initiates a battle with Sargamis, treated as an optional boss fight. He summons spirit allies and uses swift, powerful attacks. Ice spells are effective against him. Victory yields the Last Light of Day mace.

The Best Outcome: Avoiding Conflict:

The optimal approach involves convincing Sargamis his plan is futile. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Place the Splinter in the statue, activate it (demonstrating its failure), and then reason with Sargamis. He'll abandon his plan, leading to a peaceful resolution and greater experience rewards. Specific background choices (like Court Augur or Arcane Scholar) might offer unique dialogue options to achieve this. Avoid the intellect option concerning soul transfer. Finally, choose whether to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. This path avoids combat and allows for a more fulfilling conclusion to the Dawntreader quest.
