Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers terrible fate of ignored party member Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has uncovered the grisly fate of a party member, should you not meet them in Act I and bring them into your camp. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 does a great job of setting you up with the standard D&D four-class setup at the start of the game. After the tutorial, you quickly meet Shadowheart (Cleric), Astarion (Rogue), Gale (Wizard), and Lae\u2019zel (Fighter), giving you access to any job roles you need for your group. It\u2019s possible to miss these characters, but only if you make a beeline for your objective markers and do as little exploring as possible. You can also choose not to hire them, which means missing out on powerful allies with interesting sidequests to complete. Not hiring one of the party members in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is akin to writing their death sentence, as they will perish if left to fend for themselves. One player learned this to their detriment, finding the remnants of one of the most popular characters in the game. Astarion meets a horrible fate if you don\u2019t recruit him in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 A user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit never encountered Astarion in Act I and shared their experience finding his mangled remains in Act III, where his body is listed as \u201cZombie Astarion.\u201d Users in the thread explained what happened to Astarion in this situation. \u201cAstarion will tell you if you recruit him that Cazador is actively searching for him,\u201d one user wrote, \u201cHe\u2019s right, and if you don\u2019t let him stay as a recruited companion the story implies that Cazador was able to track Astarion down and kidnap him for the ritual. \u201cThe zombie aspect has been interpreted by some to mean that Cazador tortured Astarion to the point of killing him as punishment, then resurrected him as a zombie to be able to complete the ritual.\u201d In a normal playthrough, Astarion is a vampire spawn who was freed from the influence of his master, Cazador, by the effects of the Mind Flayer tadpole. You can track Cazador down in Act III and defeat him, either completing the horrific ritual he was planning or allowing Astarion to complete it in his place. If you never recruit Astarion, then he will eventually be tracked down and punished by Cazador, as he doesn\u2019t have any allies to protect him. Luckily for Astarion, it\u2019s incredibly difficult to miss him, and his naturally charming demeanor means that most players will use him in their group. The fact that he\u2019s a Rogue also makes him an incredibly useful party member with a natural affinity for scouting traps and opening chests. Astarion\u2019s story is one of the most heart-breaking in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and that\u2019s saying something, considering everything the party goes through during the story. Astarion\u2019s tale can end on a sad note, so it\u2019s up to the players to ensure he avoids his fate at the fangs of his former master.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
