Deciding whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas in Avowed is a crucial early choice with significant consequences. This guide outlines the various outcomes.
Giving Sargamis the Splinter:
After agreeing to give the splinter, you face several options:
-
Persuade Sargamis to use the statue: This results in his death and rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace. Choosing this path also grants the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Reloading allows you to retry this interaction.
-
Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to a further branching path, ultimately resulting in your death.
-
Change your mind: This provokes Sargamis into attacking you.
Refusing to Give Sargamis the Splinter:
Refusal triggers a boss fight with Sargamis. He summons spirit creatures and utilizes powerful thrusting attacks. He's vulnerable to ice spells. Victory grants you 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. Backgrounds like Court Augur or Arcane Scholar may offer advantages here. Place the splinter in the statue, activate it (demonstrating its failure), and then reason with Sargamis, highlighting Eothas' absence. Avoid the intellect option about soul transfer. This path yields more experience than combat or simply handing over the splinter. You then choose whether to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speak with Sargamis in his quarters to complete the Dawntreader quest.
