Refusing Sargamis the splinter sets you up for a confrontation. He becomes a challenging optional boss fight early in the game. He summons spirit allies that primarily target your companion, Kai, while employing swift, far-reaching sword attacks. However, he's vulnerable to freezing spells, making ice magic a valuable asset in this encounter. Defeating Sargamis rewards you with the Last Light of Day mace, a unique weapon that restores health upon defeating enemies and boosts fire damage.

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

Agreeing to give Sargamis the splinter presents two main paths (plus a third if you change your mind, triggering a fight). First, you can persuade him to place himself in the statue, resulting in his death and yielding the Last Light of Day mace. Alternatively, you can offer yourself to the statue, leading to another branching path. Standing in the designated circle and letting Sargamis activate the machine results in your death but unlocks the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Leaving the circle before activation enrages Sargamis, initiating combat.

How To Finish Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis in Avowed

The most favorable outcome involves convincing Sargamis his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. (Consult our *Avowed* respec guide if necessary). Placing the splinter in the statue beforehand, activating the machine, and then speaking with Sargamis allows you to dissuade him from his plan. This path typically requires specific background choices like Court Augur or Arcane Scholar (each background may offer a unique, functionally equivalent option). The key is to highlight Eothas' absence while avoiding the live soul transfer dialogue option. After Sargamis departs, you choose whether to let the voice utilize the statue or destroy it yourself. Finally, speaking with Sargamis in his quarters completes the Dawntreader quest with a significant experience reward.
