He is eventually found in [[Cazador's Dungeon|his Dungeon]], revealing that the ritual required not just the seven Vampire Spawn he sired, but also thousands of others. The "meals" [[Astarion]] brought Cazador were not for him to feed on, but rather prepared and turned into spawn for use in his ritual. Upon encountering Cazador, he will reclaim [[Astarion]], and begin his attempt to use him for the ritual. Should the party free [[Astarion]], and defeat Cazador, [[Astarion]] readies himself to take over the ritual, and absorb the power for himself - only for Cazador to reveal that if he were to continue the ritual himself, he would simply be consumed for it, as he has the marks of the pact on his back, and the ritual will still take his soul as a result, as it requires an exact amount of souls. An important choice follows. | ||

Then upon descending the stairs with the rest of the party, Cazador will believe Astarion didn't accompany the party and will not entrap him. ''However'', as of Patch 6 if Asterion later joins the fight and Cazador is still alive, the fight will be interrupted by a cut scene and Asterion will be captured. This technique can nonetheless be used to delay the three turn countdown for Cazador's ascendance, and to hold off Asterion's imprisonment until a more manageable time in the battle. | ||
* | * The narrow stairs make a fantastic choke point for crowd-controlling the mobs with spells early in the fight. Some electricity resistance for the party and there will be little Cazador can do on lower difficulty levels since Call Lightning is the only ranged attack he has. Beware of getting pushed off the edge yourself however. | ||

Multiple Daylight sources cast around the chamber can make it very difficult for Cazador to remain effective. | ||
