Whether to give Sargamis his Splinter of Eothas is one of Avowed's first major decisions, leading to vastly different outcomes. This guide details the consequences of your choice regarding the Splinter of Eothas.
What Happens If You Don’t Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?
When you choose not to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas, the conversation clearly indicates that a confrontation is imminent. True to his word, Sargamis engages you in battle, turning into an optional boss with a significant health bar. This fight presents a challenge early in the game.
Sargamis calls upon two spirit creatures to assist him, though they primarily focus on attacking Kai. He employs rapid, thrusting sword attacks, enabling him to quickly close distances. His susceptibility to freezing can be exploited; equipping ice spells can help manage his speed.
Upon defeating Sargamis, you earn the Last Light of Day mace, a unique weapon that restores three percent of your health upon defeating an enemy and adds a ten percent bonus to fire damage.
What Happens If You Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?
After deciding to give the Splinter to Sargamis, you face three subsequent choices. You can change your mind at any point, prompting an immediate attack from Sargamis.
- Persuade Sargamis to enter the statue: This leads to his death and you obtaining the Last Light of Day mace.
- Offer yourself to the statue: This decision splits further:
- Stand in the circle: Following Sargamis' instructions leads to your character's death, but you earn the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Reloading Avowed returns you to before entering the circle.
- Leave the circle: This action enrages Sargamis, leading to a battle.

How To Finish Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis in Avowed
The optimal approach to resolving the Splinter of Eothas dilemma involves convincing Sargamis that his plan is doomed to fail. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. If necessary, consult our Avowed respec guide to adjust your attributes.
To proceed, insert the Splinter into the statue before discussing it with Sargamis. After activating the machine and its subsequent failure, engage Sargamis in conversation. Convince him that his plan won't succeed, leading him to abandon it.
For this path, choosing the Court Augur or Arcane Scholar background at the start is beneficial, though other backgrounds may offer similar options. Guide Sargamis towards acknowledging Eothas's absence, but avoid the intellect option regarding live soul transfer.
Once Sargamis departs, decide whether to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. Then, locate Sargamis in his quarters for a conversation to conclude this segment of the Dawntreader quest, earning more experience than if you had fought or complied with him.
