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 pivotal early-game choice with significant consequences. This guide explores the various outcomes, from unfavorable to surprisingly positive.

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 grants you the Last Light of Day mace. This also unlocks the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Restarting the game after this action places you back at the point where Sargamis instructs you to stand in the circle.

• Offer yourself to the statue: This leads to another set of choices. You can either comply, resulting in your death, or refuse, triggering a fight with Sargamis.

• Change your mind: This immediately provokes Sargamis into attacking you.

Refusing to Give Sargamis the Splinter:

Refusal initiates a boss fight. Sargamis summons spirit creatures and employs powerful thrusting attacks. He's vulnerable to frost magic. Victory rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace.

Completing Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis:

The optimal approach requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. This allows you to convince Sargamis his plan is flawed. Place the Splinter in the statue, activate it (it will fail), and then reason with Sargamis. He'll abandon his plan. This path, often accessible with Court Augur or Arcane Scholar backgrounds, yields more experience than combat or surrendering the Splinter. You then decide whether to let the voice utilize the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speak with Sargamis in his quarters to complete the Dawntreader quest.
