In Avowed, the decision to attack or spare Captain Aelfyr during the "A Path to the Garden" quest presents a strategic dilemma. This guide explores the consequences of each choice.
Attacking Captain Aelfyr yields significant rewards, most notably the unique Death Knight Gloves. These gloves are particularly beneficial for defenders and elemental fighters, offering a 10% reduction in stamina cost while blocking and a 15% boost to frost damage.
Additional loot from Aelfyr and her fallen Steel Garrote soldiers includes:
- Garnet (Gem)
- Silver Fenning coins (x26)
- Exceptional Scale Armor (+0/3)
- Exceptional Great Sword (+0/3)
This loot provides a substantial gear upgrade opportunity.
Sparing Aelfyr, however, offers no tangible rewards. The challenge of the encounter itself might be considered the reward for experienced players. For those struggling, reducing the game's difficulty is a viable option. The impact on Giatta's disposition is minimal, resulting in only slight variations in dialogue.
Therefore, attacking and defeating Captain Aelfyr is the recommended strategy for maximizing loot and acquiring the valuable Death Knight Gloves. This choice offers a considerable advantage in the game.
