He can join your party with the class and race of High Elf Rogue and a background in Charlatan. Along with the Pale Elf quest, stealth and lockpicking comes natural to Astarion, and you will want this witty and charming character to be in your party. How to find Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion is found on the beach right after the Nautiloud crash happens and his coordinates are X: 165, Y: 287. Simple to find, Astarion is no pushover but follow these steps to better locate the witty vampire spawn: Follow the calls for help in the Roadside Cliffs. Find Astarion southwest of this area. Interact with Astarion. Progress through the dialogue until you see an option to invite him to join you. Astarion's location in BG3 You can find Astarion in the southwest area of the Roadside Cliffs, near the Nautiloid ship wreckage on the beach. Astarion will say he needs help defeating a monster, like the others he has just witnessed you kill, it's a lie. Instead, he pulls a knife on you and starts to interrogate you. The tadpoles in both your minds will interact, which stops Astarion from attacking you. You can then discuss the situation with him, eventually having the opportunity to invite him to join you in your quest to get rid of the tadpoles. If you have less than four companions, he will automatically join your party. If your party is full, you can instead find him at your campsite when you\u00a0take a long rest. You'll need to dismiss another party member and then ask Astarion to join you. How to start the Pale Elf quest in Baldur's Gate 3 Starting the Pale Elf quest in Baldur's Gate 3 is simple as it merely requires you to recruit Astarion to your party.\u00a0Recruiting Astarion and following his quest closely will also open up options to romance him. Once you have done so, the quest will begin automatically and can be tracked by hitting \"J\" (R2 on PS5, hold the View Button on Xbox) to open the Quest Journal. Your task is simple and merely says to \"Continue traveling with Astarion\", which progresses this questline. Important Quests that progress the Pale Elf questline If you are trying to progress this quest and truly romance or just be Astarion's friend, you can allow him to drink your blood, allow Astarion to kill the hunter at the vampire Putrid Bog, sleep with Astarion which will reveal his scars. Here are some useful quests that progress the Pale Elf questline for Astarion: Kill Raphael's Old Enemy Investigate Cazador's Palace There are more quests that involve Astarion and it is up to you to become his best friend or worst enemy, but in order to finish the Pale Elf companion quest, being Astarion's friend when he needs you the most is the utmost importance.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ASTARION-e1691171283511.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920547"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1104910,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547\/revisions\/1104910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=920547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

He can join your party with the class and race of High Elf Rogue and a background in Charlatan. Along with the Pale Elf quest, stealth and lockpicking comes natural to Astarion, and you will want this witty and charming character to be in your party. How to find Astarion in Baldur's Gate 3 Astarion is found on the beach right after the Nautiloud crash happens and his coordinates are X: 165, Y: 287. Simple to find, Astarion is no pushover but follow these steps to better locate the witty vampire spawn: Follow the calls for help in the Roadside Cliffs. Find Astarion southwest of this area. Interact with Astarion. Progress through the dialogue until you see an option to invite him to join you. Astarion's location in BG3 You can find Astarion in the southwest area of the Roadside Cliffs, near the Nautiloid ship wreckage on the beach. Astarion will say he needs help defeating a monster, like the others he has just witnessed you kill, it's a lie. Instead, he pulls a knife on you and starts to interrogate you. The tadpoles in both your minds will interact, which stops Astarion from attacking you. You can then discuss the situation with him, eventually having the opportunity to invite him to join you in your quest to get rid of the tadpoles. If you have less than four companions, he will automatically join your party. If your party is full, you can instead find him at your campsite when you\u00a0take a long rest. You'll need to dismiss another party member and then ask Astarion to join you. How to start the Pale Elf quest in Baldur's Gate 3 Starting the Pale Elf quest in Baldur's Gate 3 is simple as it merely requires you to recruit Astarion to your party.\u00a0Recruiting Astarion and following his quest closely will also open up options to romance him. Once you have done so, the quest will begin automatically and can be tracked by hitting \"J\" (R2 on PS5, hold the View Button on Xbox) to open the Quest Journal. Your task is simple and merely says to \"Continue traveling with Astarion\", which progresses this questline. Important Quests that progress the Pale Elf questline If you are trying to progress this quest and truly romance or just be Astarion's friend, you can allow him to drink your blood, allow Astarion to kill the hunter at the vampire Putrid Bog, sleep with Astarion which will reveal his scars. Here are some useful quests that progress the Pale Elf questline for Astarion: Kill Raphael's Old Enemy Investigate Cazador's Palace There are more quests that involve Astarion and it is up to you to become his best friend or worst enemy, but in order to finish the Pale Elf companion quest, being Astarion's friend when he needs you the most is the utmost importance.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ASTARION-e1691171283511.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920547"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1104910,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920547\/revisions\/1104910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=920547"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=920547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
