Avowed: Captain Aelfyr's Fate Impacts RPG's Story

Author : Harper Feb 23,2025

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 offers significant rewards. Eliminating her grants access to valuable loot, most notably the unique Death Knight Gloves. These gloves are particularly beneficial for defenders and elemental fighters, reducing stamina cost while blocking and boosting frost damage.

Additional spoils from Aelfyr and her fallen Steel Garrote soldiers include:

  • Garnet (Gem)
  • Silver Fenning coins (x26)
  • Exceptional Scale Armor (+0/3)
  • Exceptional Great Sword (+0/3)

These high-quality items provide a substantial gear upgrade, especially for players who haven't focused on equipment enhancements.

Conversely, sparing Aelfyr yields no tangible rewards. The challenge of the encounter itself—involving melee fighters and healing mages—might be considered the implicit reward for players seeking a less difficult playthrough. Adjusting the game's difficulty can mitigate this challenge. The impact on Giatta's disposition is minimal, resulting in only slight variations in dialogue.

In conclusion, attacking Captain Aelfyr is the strategically superior option due to the substantial loot acquired. However, players seeking a less challenging experience may choose to spare her. This decision ultimately affects your gear and slightly influences your interactions with Giatta.
