If spared, Gandrel happily trades with the party, though he offers little besides some [[Arrows]], [[Torch|Torches]], [[Potion of Healing|Potions of Healing]] and a [[Supply Pack]]. | ||

If Gandrel survives Act One, he appears with the Gur caravan in [[Act Three]]. If the party turned Astarion over to him in Act One, he is hostile and the rest of the Gur are dead, having been slaughtered by {{CharLink|Cazador}} when the vampire lord reclaimed Astarion for his diabolic ritual. If the party did not turn over Astarion, then he is at the elevator up from [[Cazador's Dungeon]] alongside the other Gur once the fight with Cazador has concluded. | If Gandrel survives Act One, he appears with the Gur caravan in [[Act Three]].

Despite fighting alone, Gandrel is a capable combatant due to his high | Despite fighting alone, Gandrel is a capable combatant due to his high {{Ability|Strength}}, {{Ability|Dexterity}}, [[Hit Points]], and ability to use {{SAI|Extra Attack}}. He can fire the arrows in his inventory to strike multiple party members in a small area, which become more effective at low health due to his {{SAI|Scar of Fury}} passive which causes constant [[Critical Hit|critical hits]]. Additionally, several of his ranger spells can apply negative conditions or deal AoE damage. | ||
Although killing him results in a cutscene, it may be best to take Gandrel by surprise. Due to his reliance on ranged attacks, it is possible to position a party member next to him to apply the {{Cond|Threatened}} condition to lower his ranged accuracy. If Astarion is in the party, Gandrel focuses his attacks on him. Although Gandrel is a formidable foe, {{Cond|Ensnared|ensnaring}} him or knocking him {{Cond|Prone|prone}} are effective ways to limit his mobility and hold him in melee range. It is also possible to prevent him from using arrows and potions during combat by purchasing them in advance or pickpocketing him. | |||
