Avowed: Sargamis & Eothas Relic Choice

One of the first major decisions in *Avowed* centers around whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas. This choice dramatically alters the game's outcome, leading to a bad ending, a worse one, and a surprisingly positive result. This guide details the consequences of giving Sargamis the splinter.

Refusing to give Sargamis the splinter triggers a confrontation. He becomes a challenging optional boss fight early in the game. He summons spirit creatures, utilizes swift, far-reaching sword attacks, but is vulnerable to freezing spells. Defeating him rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace, a unique weapon restoring health upon enemy defeat and boosting fire damage.

What Happens If You Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in *Avowed*?

Agreeing to give Sargamis the splinter presents two main options (plus a third, by changing your mind and fighting him). First, you can persuade him to place himself in the statue, resulting in his death and granting you the Last Light of Day mace. Second, you can offer yourself to the statue, leading to another branching path. Standing in the designated circle and allowing the process to commence results in your death and the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Leaving the circle before activation provokes Sargamis into attacking.

The ideal outcome involves convincing Sargamis his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Placing the splinter in the statue before speaking with Sargamis, activating the machine, and then demonstrating the plan's failure persuades him to abandon it. The Court Augur and Arcane Scholar backgrounds may offer specific dialogue options to achieve this. After Sargamis departs, you choose whether to let the voice utilize the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speak with Sargamis in his quarters to complete the Dawntreader quest and earn substantial experience.
