Facing Captain Aelfyr in Avowed's "A Path to the Garden" quest presents a difficult choice: attack or spare?

However, your decision impacts more than just the narrative; it directly affects your loot.

Aelfyr's Death Knight Gloves are a boon for defenders and elemental fighters, offering a 10% Stamina reduction while blocking and a 15% Frost Damage boost. Beyond the gloves, defeating Aelfyr yields:
These exceptional-quality items provide a significant gear upgrade, especially beneficial for players who haven't focused on frequent upgrades. Furthermore, you can loot additional items from the fallen Steel Garrote soldiers.

Sparing Aelfyr offers no tangible rewards. The challenge of battling Aelfyr and her Steel Garrote soldiers (including melee fighters and healing mages) is significant, especially on normal difficulty. Avoiding this difficult encounter could be considered the reward itself. Players struggling can temporarily lower the difficulty. The impact on Giata's attitude is minimal, resulting in only slight variations in dialogue.
Having decided that attacking Aelfyr is advantageous, consider your next decision: Should you give Keipo the Leviathan Heart in the "Heart of Valor" side quest? This quest offers substantial additional loot. For a complete overview of your next steps, check out the full list of Avowed's main and side missions.
