FAQs

Should I let Astarion feed on me again? ›

Should you Let Astarion Bite You? Letting Astarion bite you is an easy way to get approval with him. The simple answer is yes, as the only downside is gaining the Bloodless debuff, while Astarion gains the Happy buff and his approval rating of you increases.

They are shadows that can only be revealed through light.

You do not need a Moon Lantern to reveal them. Any light source will do. This can be from the Light spell, Daylight spell, or just by holding a torch.

You must get your hands on Pure Light spells or a Moon Lantern to reveal invisible enemies from these areas. These are some of the most annoying enemies to beat in Baldur's Gate 3; however, with proper preparation, you can make the encounter significantly easier.

If you don't keep him in line and tell him enough is enough, Astarion will get carried away and end up killing your character, forcing you to use a revivify spell or Withers, so you need to snap him back to his senses at the first available opportunity after that initial bite, using either a Persuasion or Strength ...

When you let Astarion drink your blood, you'll wake up with the Bloodless debuff. Until you long rest again, you'll have a -1 on all checks. The only way to avoid the debuff is to let him kill the character.

Your new eye gives you +1 on intimidation, but a disadvantage on perception checks and attacks against hags. Perception is an important stat in Baldur's Gate 3, so it depends on whether or not your party can pick up the slack or not.

Yes, you should let Volo take your eye in Baldur's Gate 3.

Still, successfully sitting through the Volo eye interaction rewards you with Volo's Ersatz Eye, which grants a permanent upgrade that will enable you to see Invisibility within 30 feet.

1: Yes, going evil will have some companions leave you (specifically Karlach, Wyll, and Gale... though I think you can persuade Gale into staying.). In return you do get a couple evil companions. 2: While it is entirely possible to do an evil playthrough, doing so cuts out a massive portion of the game's content.

Lann Tarv, Exxvikyap, and Roah Moonglow are some of the best merchants to keep an eye out for. These merchants offer a variety of items such as potions, spell scrolls, and unique armor & weapons.

Can you romance Astarion with medium approval? ›

Like the other major romance options in the game, Astarion's relationship progression can be divided into specific stages: friendly, flirting, partnered, and ex-partnered: Friendly: The friendly stage begins at medium approval, and is the default stage for non-romanced companions.

At one point, you will be offered an Astral-Touched Tadpole, but taking it will turn you into a half-Mind Flayer. This is not an irreversible process, but in the lead-up to the game's finale, you will then be offered a Supreme Tadpole which completes the transformation.

Additionally, if your character attacks a mirrored reflection that is not their own, then they will be cursed with the Cheater's Folly condition, which reduces all Ability Scores by 1. This condition lasts until the next long rest.

If Astarion ascends, he loses all that character development and goes back to how he was when players first met him after the Nautiloid crash, but with the added evilness, hunger for power, and controlling demeanor. If the player chooses to prevent him from ascending, he later thanks them for saving him from himself.

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.

You can choose to give Astarion up, or protect him. Giving up Astarion will, unsurprisingly, earn his disapproval and permanently remove him from your party.

During the scene, you can choose to let Astarion bite you or not. The choice here does not impact the romance at all, but letting him bite you will raise his approval of you.
