If [[Astarion]] is chosen as player character, they can encounter a dream sequence involving Cazador, where he recites four rules he enforces amongst his spawn. [[Astarion]] as a companion may also show the party the scars on his back, which is revealed to be part of an Infernal Pact. What this pact entails is unknown, but he assumes it is extremely important to Cazador. | ||

=== | ===Let Astarion finish the Ritual=== | ||
Should the party allow Astarion to finish the ritual, he will connect to the player character's parasite, and copy the scars on his back onto Cazador's own flesh, therefore fulfilling the requirements for the ritual, while allowing himself to remain alive. Astarion will then consume Cazador's, and all of the thousands of Vampire Spawns' essence to successfully become the Vampire Ascendant. | Should the party allow Astarion to finish the ritual, he will connect to the player character's parasite, and copy the scars on his back onto Cazador's own flesh, therefore fulfilling the requirements for the ritual, while allowing himself to remain alive.

=== | ===Convince Astarion to kill Cazador and stop the Ritual=== | ||
If the party succeeds on a [[Persuasion]] or [[Insight]] check, Astarion will choose not continue the ritual for himself, and instead stab Cazador to death, falling to his knees, and sobbing, finally free from Cazador's tyranny. If even one of the vampire spawn died during the fight, the Vampire Ascendent ritual cannot be conducted and Astarion will default to this option. | If the party succeeds on a [[Persuasion]] or [[Insight]] check, Astarion will choose not continue the ritual for himself, and instead stab Cazador to death, falling to his knees, and sobbing, finally free from Cazador's tyranny.

=== | ===Refuse to help Astarion=== | ||
If the party outright refuses to help Astarion without convincing him, or fails the skill checks above and still refuses to help him, Astarion will kill Cazador in the same sequence as above. But he will then destroy Cazador's [[Woe|Staff]], leaving the Vampire Spawn to rot. After this, he will permanently leave the party, stating that he hopes they "die screaming." | If the party outright refuses to help Astarion without convincing him, or fails the skill checks above and still refuses to help him, Astarion will kill Cazador in the same sequence as above.

=== | ===Kill Cazador without Astarion in the party=== | ||
The player character can stab Cazador while he is in his coffin if Astarion was not brought to the fight. Mentioning this to Astarion afterwards will infuriate him, and he will permanently leave the party unless the party convinces him not to do so. | The player character can stab Cazador while he is in his coffin if Astarion was not brought to the fight.

=== | ===Interrupt the ritual=== | ||
The party can choose to interrupt Astarion partway through the ritual. If they do so, the player character will throw Cazador's [[Rhapsody|dagger]] at him, killing Cazador and making the ritual impossible to complete. Astarion will then destroy Cazador's staff and attack the party, forcing the party to kill him. | |||
=== Break the ritual === | |||
Killing one or more of the sacrificial vampire spawn during the fight with Cazador will result in Astarion killing Cazador and staying with the party without complaint. Astarion's remaining siblings will flee the scene, skipping their normal cutscene. Several NPCs, including the Gur party, will react as if Astarion voluntarily forfeited the ritual. | |||
No matter which choice the party decides on, Cazador ultimately dies. | No matter which choice the party decides on, Cazador ultimately dies. | ||
