The decision of whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas in Avowed is a pivotal early choice with drastically different consequences. This guide details the outcomes of giving Sargamis the relic.
What Happens If You Give Sargamis the Splinter?
After agreeing to give the Splinter, you face several options:
-
Persuade Sargamis to enter 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 the game allows you to retry this interaction.
-
Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to another branching path, ultimately resulting in your death.
-
Change your mind: This provokes Sargamis into attacking you.
What Happens If You Don't Give Sargamis the Splinter?
Refusing to give Sargamis the Splinter initiates a boss fight. He summons spirit creatures and uses powerful thrusting attacks. He’s vulnerable to frost spells. 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 (like Court Augur or Arcane Scholar) may offer unique dialogue options to achieve this. Place the Splinter in the statue, activate it (it will fail), and then reason with Sargamis. He'll abandon his plan, allowing you to choose whether to let the voice utilize the statue or destroy it yourself. Speaking with Sargamis afterward completes the quest and yields significant experience.
