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-game choice with significantly different consequences. This guide outlines the various outcomes.

Giving Sargamis the Splinter:

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

• Persuade him to place himself in the statue: This results in his death and rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace. This also grants the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Reloading will return you to the point before Sargamis activates the machine.
• Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to another decision point. You can either stand in the designated circle, resulting in your death, or leave the circle, prompting Sargamis to attack.
• Change your mind: This immediately triggers a fight with Sargamis.

Refusing to Give the Splinter:

Refusal initiates a boss fight with Sargamis. He summons spirit creatures and utilizes swift, powerful attacks. He's vulnerable to freezing effects. Victory rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace.

Completing Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis:

The optimal approach involves convincing Sargamis his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Backgrounds like Court Augur and Arcane Scholar may offer advantageous dialogue options. Place the Splinter in the statue, activate it (it will fail), then speak to Sargamis. Successfully convincing him leads to him abandoning his plan. You then choose to either allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. This path yields more experience than combat or simply giving him the Splinter.

In conclusion, the Splinter of Eothas decision significantly impacts your Avowed experience. Choose wisely!
