The Pale Elf Baldur's Gate 3 Quest

We met a strange elf who had also been infected with a parasite. He was hostile at first, but agreed to join us when he learned we were infected too.

Astarion is a vampire! We woke up last night and saw him bent over one of us - drinking their blood. We let him drink his fill to regain his strength.

Astarion is a vampire! We woke up last night and saw him bent over one of us - drinking their blood. We warned him never to do it again.

Astarion is a vampire! We woke up last night and saw him bent over one of us - drinking their blood. We had no choice but to attack him.

We learned that Astarion was a slave to the Szarr family. He couldn't refuse orders from them - and believes that might still be the case.

Astarion told us that he suspects the monster hunter is serving his master Cazador.

We learned that Astarion was murdered by a Gur nomad long ago. The vampire lord Cazador came to his aid and made him a vampire spawn.

Astarion suspects that the parasite may have negated some of the downsides of being a vampire spawn. Perhaps his master has no power over him anymore.

We told Astarion that he couldn't feed on innocents - but enemies were fair game.

We told Astarion he could only feed on animals - intelligent creatures are off-limits.

We learned that Astarion might be a vampire! A monster hunter named Gandrel is looking for him.

We fought a monster hunter who was looking for Astarion.

Astarion killed a monster hunter who had been looking for him.

We met a monster hunter who is looking for Astarion. We told the hunter where we were camping.

We met a monster hunter who is looking for Astarion. We kept our camp's location a secret.

We learned that the monster hunter was serving someone named Ulma.

After spending the night with Astarion, we learned that he has some kind of poem carved into his back. Cazador did this to him - but why?

After spending the night with Astarion, we learned that he has a poem written in Infernal carved into his back. Cazador did this to him - but why?

Astarion wants to speak to Raphael the next time we see him. He believes the devil might know something about the scars on his back.

Astarion wants to speak to Raphael the next time we see him. He wants to ask the devil about something, but hasn't revealed what.

We met Raphael at the Last Light Inn and Astarion asked about the scars Cazador left on his back. Raphael seemed interested - he said he'd think about Astarion's request and see us again soon.

We met Raphael at Last Light Inn, but he left before Astarion could ask about the scars on his back. Raphael seemed to think we'd meet again soon, though, so perhaps Astarion will have another opportunity.

We met Raphael at Last Light Inn, but he left before Astarion could ask him anything. Raphael seemed to think we'd meet again soon, though, so perhaps Astarion will have another opportunity.

We met Raphael at the entrance to the Thorm Mausoleum. The devil told us about an orthon - a monster from the Hells - that's lurking beneath the mausoleum. He promised to tell Astarion about his scars, but only if we kill this orthon for him.

We killed the orthon, as Raphael asked. Now we're waiting for him to reappear and fulfil his promise to Astarion - whenever and wherever that might happen.

Raphael told us about the 'Rite of Profane Ascension'. Cazador plans to perform it, sacrificing his vampire spawn in exchange for great power. Astarion is the only missing piece of the ritual and Cazador needs him back. Astarion told us he wants to take the fight to Cazador in Baldur's Gate.

Raphael left without revealing anything about Astarion's scars. It seems if we want answers, we'll need to reach Baldur's Gate and ask Cazador himself.

Raphael left without Astarion speaking to him. Whatever Astarion's questions were, he'll have to look for answers somewhere else - maybe in Baldur's Gate itself.

Astarion thinks we need to find some of his fellow spawn if we want to learn about Cazador's plans. Apparently, they used to hunt for victims in the dens of the city.

Instead of killing the orthon, we helped him, which means Raphael won't reveal anything about Astarion's scars. If he wants answers, Astarion will have to look elsewhere. Maybe in Baldur's Gate itself.

We've reached Baldur's Gate. Astarion will want to find Cazador Szarr and face him, deciding his fate once and for all.

Astarion met Ulma, the leader of a small tribe of monster hunters. She recognised Astarion as the one who stole their children for Cazador, but offered him a chance to redeem himself. Astarion agreed to help their children and kill Cazador.

Astarion met Ulma, the leader of a small tribe of monster hunters. She recognised Astarion as the one who stole their children for Cazador, but offered him a chance to redeem himself if he helped their children. Astarion refused and we were attacked by Ulma's people.

Astarion met two of his fellow vampire spawn, Dalyria and Petras, at Fraygo's Flophouse. We learned Cazador plans to perform a ritual that will grant him incredible power, and that Astarion is part of it. They revealed it's taking place in a defiled chapel beneath Cazador's palace before turning to mist and disappearing.

Astarion met two of his fellow vampire spawn, Dalyria and Petras, at Fraygo's Flophouse. We learned Cazador plans to perform a ritual and gain incredible power, and that Astarion is a key part of that ritual. The spawn turned to mist and disappeared after a confrontation with Astarion. We will need to find Cazador to learn anything else.

A group of vampire spawn attacked us during the night. They tried to kidnap Astarion and take him back to Cazador, but failed. Astarion will need to face Cazador if he's ever to be safe from his past.

We killed Ulma. Without her, the monster hunters will be much less of a threat to Astarion.

We can now look for the other spawn that Astarion mentioned before. We should look for them in the taverns and flophouses of Wyrm's Crossing.

A group of vampire spawn attacked us during the night. They kidnapped Astarion and took him back to Cazador. We need to find Cazador's palace if we're going to rescue Astarion.

Astarion is free from Godey's kennel. We can now explore the palace and find Cazador.

We have entered Cazador's palace. Now we just need to find the vampire himself.

We used an elevator to descend into a secret dungeon under Cazador's Palace. We have yet to find what's hidden down here.

Astarion met Sebastian, one of the first victims he ever brought Cazador. Instead of feeding on him, Cazador turned Sebastian into a vampire spawn and locked him in this dungeon. We don't know how many of Astarion's victims are still 'alive' down here, but we did learn that Cazador's staff controls the prison. We'll need to take it from him if we're to decide the prisoners' fates.

We found a scroll describing the ritual Cazador wants to perform. He plans to sacrifice thousands of souls, including Astarion's, to ascend and gain incredible power.

We learned that Cazador carries a magic staff, which he uses to control the prison. We'll need to take it from him if we're to decide the prisoners' fates.

We found Cazador and convinced him to let us go and bring Astarion to him. Astarion will definitely want to hear about this.

We found Cazador, who overpowered Astarion and dragged him into the ritual. Now that Cazador has everything he needs, he'll ascend unless we stop him.

We found Cazador and attacked him. Time to destroy him once and for all.

Cazador magically ensnared Astarion, summoning him and forcing him into the ritual. We need to help Astarion and destroy Cazador.

We defeated Cazador, who retreated to his sarcophagus to heal. He's vulnerable now - all we have to do is open the sarcophagus's lid and finish him off.

We brought Astarion to Cazador, who used blood magic to force Astarion into the ritual. We need to help Astarion and destroy his old master.

We broke Astarion's cover and let the monster hunter capture him. That might be the last we see of the vampire spawn.

Astarion's gone. One can't help but wonder if it had anything to do with us telling the monster hunter where we were camped.

Astarion died. No time for a funeral.

Astarion has left the party. We won't be inviting him back.

Astarion turned against us.

Astarion met Ulma, the leader of a small tribe of monster hunters. She recognised Astarion as the one who stole their children for Cazador, but offered him a chance to redeem himself. Astarion refused and Ulma asked us to help kill him. We agreed and Astarion attacked us.

Astarion has become the Vampire Ascendant. He had to sacrifice Cazador, his brothers and sisters, and thousands of other vampire spawn; but he'll never fear the sun or suffer a vampire's hunger again.

We killed Cazador and released all of the vampire spawn into the Underdark. Astarion's fate is sealed - he will be a vampire spawn until the end of his days.

We killed Cazador and the thousands of vampire spawn he had locked down here. They won't be a threat to anyone now. As for Astarion, his fate is sealed - he will be a vampire spawn until the end of his days.

We killed Cazador and decided to leave the thousands of vampire spawn he created in their cells. As for Astarion, his fate is sealed - he will be a vampire spawn until the end of his days.

Astarion never faced Cazador, but events are moving too quickly to change that now. It's time to choose your destiny - Astarion's will have to wait.
