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

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.
