In *Avowed*, deciding whether to give Sargamis the Splinter of Eothas is one of the first major choices you'll face, and it can lead to vastly different outcomes. From a bad ending to a worse one, and even a somewhat positive result, this *Avowed* guide will walk you through what happens if you choose to give Sargamis Eothas' Splinter.
What Happens If You Don’t Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?
When conversing with Sargamis, it becomes clear that withholding the Splinter will lead to a dire outcome. True to his word, if you outright refuse to give him the Splinter, Sargamis will engage you in combat. *Avowed* treats him as an optional boss, complete with a distinctive name and a substantial health bar, making this one of the more challenging early-game encounters.
Sargamis calls forth two spirit creatures to assist him in battle, though these tend to focus on Kai and leave you alone. He wields his sword with thrusting attacks, allowing him to swiftly close distances. However, he is susceptible to freezing, so arming yourself with ice spells can help manage his aggressive movements.
Upon defeating Sargamis, you'll be rewarded with the Last Light of Day mace, a unique weapon that not only restores three percent of your health with each enemy defeated but also enhances your attacks with a 10 percent fire damage bonus.
What Happens If You Give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in Avowed?
After agreeing to hand over the Splinter, you face three possible outcomes. First, you can attempt to persuade Sargamis to enter the statue himself, leading to his demise and granting you the Last Light of Day mace. Alternatively, you can offer yourself to the statue, which presents two further paths.
If you stand in the designated circle and allow Sargamis to activate the machine, you'll meet your end but earn the "Get In The Statue, Envoy" achievement. Upon reloading *Avowed*, you'll find yourself back at the moment before entering the circle. If you choose to leave the circle when instructed to stand still, Sargamis will become enraged and attack you.

How To Finish Dawntreader Without Killing Sargamis in Avowed
The optimal approach to resolving the Splinter of Eothas dilemma is to convince Sargamis that his plan is flawed. This requires an Intellect stat of 4 or higher. If you need to adjust your stats, refer to our *Avowed* respec guide. Place the Splinter in the statue before speaking to Sargamis, activate the machine, and then talk to him after it fails. Persuade him that his plan won't succeed, and he will abandon it.
To initiate this path, selecting the Court Augur or Arcane Scholar background options is recommended, though each background might have a similar choice. Continue to guide Sargamis toward understanding that Eothas is gone, but avoid choosing the intellect option concerning live soul transfer.
Once Sargamis departs, you'll need to decide whether to allow the voice to use the statue or destroy it yourself. Afterward, locate Sargamis in his quarters and speak with him to conclude this segment of the Dawntreader quest, earning more experience than if you had fought him or handed over the Splinter.
That covers the decision of whether to give the Splinter of Eothas to Sargamis in *Avowed*. If you're just starting out in Obsidian's new RPG, our *Avowed* beginner's guide offers useful tips to enhance your experience.
