If any of the other vampire spawn were killed during the Cazador fight, the ritual is unable to be completed and Astarion kills Cazador without attempting to perform the ritual, and moves onto the choice regarding the other spawn in prison. The dialogue with the Gur and the other companions will proceed as if Astarion had chosen to give up on the ritual himself.

=== Ending 3: Astarion is refused or cannot be persuaded to stop the rite ===
=== Ending 3: Refuse to help Astarion perform the ritual. ===
It is possible for Astarion to leave the party permanently during this quest. If the player fails to persuade Astarion or refuses to help him with the ritual, he will leave the party after deciding to keep the spawn locked up, stating that he was done with Cazador, done with this place, and done with the party. If Astarion was allowed to start the ritual, the player has the option to interrupt him by killing Cazador while the ritual is in progress, doing so will stop Astarion's ascension and cause him to become hostile, attacking the party.
If the player refuses to help Astarion perform the ritual, or cannot be convinced against doing so, then he will kill Cazador in the same manner as if he was persuaded to not perform the ritual. He will then destroy Cazador’s staff and leaves the spawn to rot in their cells. Astarion then permanently leaves the party, saying that he hopes they “die screaming.”
 
=== Ending 4: Interrupt the ritual. ===
The player can still prevent Astarion from completing the blood ritual if he already commenced it. If the player character decides to interrupt the ritual, they will pick up Cazador’s dagger and throw it into Cazador, killing him and making the ritual impossible for Astarion to complete. He will then destroy Cazador’s staff in the same way as the above, and then attack the party, forcing him to be killed permanently.
