Avowed is not just about solving riddles and killing enemies. A very important aspect of the game is making crucial choices. What you choose will determine your outcome. One such decision lies ahead of you in the quest titled Message from Afar.
In Message from Afar, you will be given the option to either help The Voice or not. The different choices have different outcomes. Let’s take a look at what you should do.
Message from Afar
After talking to Captain Cynric and Kai, the latter will join as an ally for the quest Message from Afar.
Now, you need to head to The Strangleroot cave.
Right as you enter the cave, you will hear The Voice. Don’t worry, there’s still some time before you have to face it.
Proceed ahead until you defeat the Bear. Then, interact with Ambassador Falseen Hylgard who will ask you to examine the Adra Pillar.
Here comes The Voice.
You will now begin your conversation with The Voice. They tell you that they have been looking forward to your arrival.
Further into the conversation, The Voice will tell you that the land is corrupted, hence putting forward an interesting proposition– the gift of its “healing touch” in exchange for your help.
You will be faced with the decision to help The Voice or not.
Should You Help The Voice or Not?
There are immediate consequences to your choice:
- Help The Voice – Receive the Dream Touch Godlike’s ability
- Reject The Voice – Receive the Godlike’s Will ability
In either case, you are getting something so it’s not a complete loss. The question comes down to which ability is better.
The Dream Touch ability heals and revives nearby allies as well as deal damage to every Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels in the vicinity. This skill is a blessing in battle. You can aid your allies by helping them recover and take on enemies simultaneously.
On the other hand, the Will gives you an extra ability point which can be used in any skill tree. Basically, it is a bonus.
Just at first glance, the Dream Touch Godlike’s ability sounds like a far better deal. Keep in mind that this is only the beginning of the game. You still have a long way to go ahead. So, if you want a little help, accept The Voice’s offer and receive the useful ability.
No matter what you choose, The Voice will come back at later stages in Avowed. So, if you feel like you made the wrong decision, don’t fret too much. There will be plenty of opportunities soon enough!
