What Happens If You Don't Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?
Refusing to give Sargamis the splinter triggers a fight. He becomes a challenging early-game boss, summoning spirit creatures and employing swift, powerful attacks. He's vulnerable to freezing spells. Victory 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?
After agreeing to give the splinter, you face two main choices (plus a third if you change your mind, resulting in combat). You can persuade him to place himself in the statue, killing him and yielding the Last Light of Day mace. Alternatively, you can offer yourself to the statue, leading to further branching paths. Choosing to stand in the circle results in death but unlocks the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Leaving the circle after Sargamis instructs you to stand still provokes an attack.Related: Where To Find Woedica’s Inheritance Treasure Map in Avowed
How To Finish Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis in Avowed
The optimal approach involves convincing Sargamis his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. Place the splinter in the statue beforehand, activate the machine, and then speak with Sargamis. Convincing him leads to him abandoning his plan. Specific backgrounds like Court Augur and Arcane Scholar may offer unique dialogue options to achieve this. Avoid the intellect option regarding live soul transfer. After Sargamis leaves, choose to either allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speak with Sargamis in his quarters to complete the quest, earning more experience than through combat or simply handing over the splinter.This covers the decision regarding the Splinter of Eothas in *Avowed*.
