How do I not lose Astarion?

You need to send someone over to Astarion and use the "Help" action on him ASAP in order to keep him alive, which will then stop the ritual's countdown and give you as much time as you need to fight the boss with all four party members.

How do I stop Astarion from leaving?

Option 2: Persuade Astarion To Stop

If you are currently romancing Astarion, you will also have the option of making a DC 20 Insight at advantage, then a lowered DC 15 Persuasion check instead to talk him down. This will cause him to kill Cazador in a violent rage, but remain in your party on good terms.

How do you keep Astarion a spawn?

For real though, if you want to stop the ritual but keep Astarion in your party:
  1. Talk to the spawn in the cages before you enter the main hall.
  2. After defeating Cazador, tell Astarion either that he shouldn't do the ritual because it will kill all the spawn in the cages or tell him that the ritual will consume him.

Can you keep Astarion without ascending him?

Instead, if the player wishes to keep Astarion from going through with it, the protagonist must tell him that the ritual will kill many people and that Astarion will not be proud of what he has done. Of course, Astarion will still kill Cazador, but he will be glad that he didn't become a Vampire Ascendant.

Though it might be tempting to bring Astarion with you for a dramatic showdown with his former master, it is worth noting that if you have Astarion nearby when you approach Cazador, Astarion will lose control and attack Cazador regardless of what dialogue option you choose.

Is it better to let Astarion complete the ritual?

If you allow Astarion to complete the ritual, he'll become much more abrasive, though he gains an improved bite and extra necrotic damage on his spells. Power corrupts absolutely, and it's no different for Astarion, who failed to break the cycle of torment established by a vampire ages ago.

What happens if you let Astarion turn you into a vampire?

Upon another long rest, the ascended Astarion will give the player-controlled character the opportunity to turn into a vampire spawn by drinking a drop of his blood. While this will grant them access to the basic Vampiric Bite ability, they'll be much weaker than Astarion.

Does Astarion still love you if he ascends?

Astarion's Romance Takes a Drastic Turn

Unlike his Spawn self, who is caring and treats the player as his equal, Ascended Astarion will become controlling over them. There is still affection and deep down he loves them, but his desire for power and control turns those feelings into a hungry obsession.

Can you cure Astarion of his vampirism?

As for the cure, as of right now the only possibility to escape the misery of being a vampire in BG3 is ascension. I do not know why there is no other option even mentioned anywhere, wish spell/true resurrection. I think that Larian either didn't think it through or just didn't bother with it.

Is Astarion a bad guy?

Players who already know Astarion's backstory understand the horrific violence and creative abuse that he suffered at the hands of Cazador. That's bad enough to make him one of the evilest characters in the game without the addition of the deal with Mephistopheles.

Why didn t Astarion become a vampire?

The truth is, it would be very inconvenient for the devs to make the third option for Astarion, as it would require much more work and it would destroy the narrative choice they designed for him. Becoming an evil full-vampire wouldn't be evil anymore, as it would be enough to drink Cazador's blood.

What happens if you never meet Astarion?

As you might expect, this hardly ends well for the vampire - but it's actually worse than you might expect. Far from just struggling to survive out in the world on his own, he actually ends up back in the hands of his old master, Cazador. Surprise, surprise, he doesn't come out of that reunion alive.

Does Astarion really want to ascend?

Everyone always talks about the "good' and "bad" ending meaning stopping ascension or letting him ascend. But, the only thing he's ever wanted for himself, after being told what to do for 200 years, was having enough power to keep himself safe. He wants this power, he wants this safety.

Do I let Astarion feed on me?

If you let him drink your blood, he'll start trusting you more and his romance options will be enabled. Apart from that, Vampire Bite will be unlocked in his arsenal. However, letting him drink blood will lead to a debuff called Bloodless. If you let Astraion drink too much, it will lead to the death of your character.

Taking Rafael's Side

If players want to strengthen their relationship with Astarion, they should definitely kill Yurgir and side with Raphael. The fight can begin immediately after the encounter with Orthon, but be ready, as Yurgir is a powerful opponent.

What happens if you give Astarion the tadpole?

Once you or Astarion (he has no issue with leveraging a bit of grossness into more power), eat the first tadpole, you gain a dialogue option with everyone where you can try to persuade them to use them as well. If you succeed, that person also gains access to tadpole powers.

Should I sleep with Astarion at the party?

You don't need to sleep with him at the party! If you get his approval high enough, he'll proposition you on his own at some point during act 1 when you talk to him. So your friend just needs to keep getting his approval up and it should trigger eventually, though it should probably be done before moving on to act 2.

Can you get Astarion back?

You can't resurrect Astarion. I killed him in the bite scene too, then was annoyed by his corpse and tried resurrecting him with Withers and with a scroll - nothing works. And the companions talk about him, as If he were alive. And nearly as annoying: when you try to send him away, He just stays.

Why can Astarion be in sunlight?

He was a talented rogue who was skilled at using the bow. Due to his unique infestation by a modified mind flayer tadpole, Astarion could move freely during the daylight hours, move through running water unharmed, and enter homes uninvited; none of which a vampire or their spawn should be able to do.
