→Walkthrough: The mirror and scar tracing are two different scenes, he has no mirror while tracing his scars (but there's a dialogue option to offer him one). Also mistaken reference to forcing him to drink a potion when meeting Araj: you're forcing him to drink her blood, not a potion.

Players who romance Astarion can learn more about Astarion's scars by having a tryst in the forest with him. Astarion can propose this through speaking with him in the party/at camp after gaining high approval, or he can propose it during the Goblin/Tiefling party if [[Save the Refugees]] was fully completed. After a night of passion, the player wakes up to see Astarion bathing in the sun with his back to them, showing strange scars. Asking about them, Astarion explains they're supposedly a poem carved into his flesh by Cazador in a single night, with heavy revisions. He refuses to elaborate more. | Players who romance Astarion can learn more about Astarion's scars by having a tryst in the forest with him.

If the player has high approval with Astarion, a scene occurs at camp during a Long Rest. Both romanced and unromanced players can witness this scene, although romanced players can see this as early as [[Act One]], while it triggers in [[Act Two]] for unromanced players. Astarion is shirtless and tracing his fingers against his back | If the player has high approval with Astarion, a scene occurs at camp during a Long Rest. Both romanced and unromanced players can witness this scene, although romanced players can see this as early as [[Act One]], while it triggers in [[Act Two]] for unromanced players. Astarion is shirtless and tracing his fingers against his back. The player can ask him what he's doing, to which he can be coaxed to explain that he's trying to figure out what the words on his back mean. With a {{Ability Check|Arcana|10}}, the player can attempt to decipher the runes and ascertain that they are Infernal in nature. Characters who can understand Infernal, such as tieflings, can read the sigils as a bunch of jumbled Infernal legalese that's part of a contract. | ||
Players who do not have a high enough approval with Astarion won't be able to ask about his scars, but he can still have a scene in camp where he is eager to speak to [[Raphael]] again. He isn't willing to elaborate on why but asks the party to look out for him. | Players who do not have a high enough approval with Astarion won't be able to ask about his scars, but he can still have a scene in camp where he is eager to speak to [[Raphael]] again.

An optional scene that is important to Astarion's story arc can be found in [[Moonrise Towers]]. [[Araj Oblodra]] is a blood alchemist and trader, who has a particular interest in vampires. If Astarion is in the party, she asks the player if Astarion is their spawn. She explains that she's always dreamed of having her blood drunk by a vampire since she was a little girl. She is willing to give a legendary [[Potion of Everlasting Vigour]] to the party if Astarion drinks her blood. Astarion is visibly disgusted and, if asked why, explains that her blood smells foul and that he doesn't want to do it. The player can insist he get over it or insist to Araj that Astarion doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to. | An optional scene that is important to Astarion's story arc can be found in [[Moonrise Towers]].

If Astarion was pushed to drink Araj's blood, then he tells the player how disgusted he feels and that he can't use his body as a tool anymore. The player can remain in good standing by apologizing to Astarion for pushing him to drink Araj's blood and saying he doesn't have to do that ever again. If the player is romancing Astarion, pushing him to drink Araj's blood leads him to saying he'll sleep alone from now on, unless the player chooses the right dialogue options (which means avoiding the subject and saying you actually care about him and to continue dating him). | ||
