Even if you have not read Berserk, you can still answer this question.
Here's the deal: Everything in your life has just been taken from you. Other than the person or group of people who are the most important to you. But any selfish goal of yours is no longer in your reach. You have no reason to live on your own. No more goals or desires. Even if your desire is to simply be with those you love, you can no longer do that. They're still alive (the most important, at least), but for whatever reason you can't be with them. You're about to die, and you're literally in the most hopeless and dark situation you'll ever experience. Just think about the worse you have ever felt emotionally and maybe even physically, and then multiply it by 100.
You then get an offer by a demon lord to get a new powerful body of your choice (you get to design it). This will make you stronger and more superior to your human form, and you can turn back into a form that looks like your regular human form whenever you want. And even that form is stronger than you were before. You'll be given another chance at life, another chance at your goal. Whatever that may be. And you'll essentially be immortal age-wise. If anything you can design your own age for your new body. However, you have to sacrifice one of (or the) most important people in your life. What I mean is, if for example, your goal is to be with your lover, then obviously that's not going to be the one you sacrifice, however, you still have to sacrifice the next best thing, such as all of your best friends, or your entire family. You have to give up some part of your humanity, in order to complete your goal, in order to be happy. Keep in mind this new mind and body will be amazing, and make you stronger than any human one on one. And will also keep you from feeling guilt after the sacrifice itself.
Well, can you do it? Will you sacrifice after you've been fucked over, and have no hope left? And I know it kind of depends on what your goal is and exactly who you're sacrificing. However, don't choose the easier way out. If you have to sacrifice them, make it the most important person to you as long as it won't contradict your goal. You are free to elaborate on your decision other than just "yes" or "no".

Oh, yeah, and if you somehow die with your new body then unless you sacrifice the next best important person(s) to you again, you'll be trapped in hell forever. There's also a small possibility that you'll be trapped in hell forever the first time, if you don't sacrifice, but it's not confirmed, and most likely you won't the first time, at least, but you'll still die. And let's just assume for the sake of the deal that if you die and don't go to hell you simply stop existing conscience-wise, as in, even if your soul does go somewhere, your memories are erased and therefore, you aren't the same person. There's no happy heaven that you go to.
