Rise of Astarion: what’s changing for the High Elf
Astarion’s successful ritual not only makes him stronger, but also more arrogant. The other team members learn about the ritual in which, among other things, thousands of innocent creatures have to die. These are children of Gur. Of course, they won’t like this fact.
Regardless of the negative effects on his behavior or the opinions of the other team members, Astarion receives a power-up. Unarmed attacks now cause additional necrotic damage to enemies. It can now also take on a gas form, making it very good at evading enemy attacks.

How to prevent Astarion from ascending to the vampire ascendant
If you don’t like the consequences of Astarion’s ascension to vampire ascendant, you can also prevent this. To keep him on the team as an ally, you must convince him before performing the ritual that it would not be good for him. If you successfully convince him of this, the ritual is not performed and he remains a team member.
However, it is important that you actively convince him of this. If you simply do not help him with the ritual or break it off during the performance, he will turn away from you and attack you. You will lose Astarion as a team member.
