This will probably be almost too late for Astarion, I'm not sure if I'll be able to kill Yurgir by then. The blood dealer is no longer in Moonrise Tower at this point and should therefore not be present in act 3 either. I would have to test whether it is possible to trigger this scene via Shadowheart with Yurgir without a long rest.
Pretty complicated. ^^

It's kind of interesting to see if that can happen.


OK darlings, this path doesn't work. It's best not to try it, because if you're unlucky Astarion will leave your group.


What did I do before?

- I completed the Trials of Shar

- I killed Balthazar and his brother in the room where they are standing

I killed the rats and Lyrthindor (you should NEVER kill him before Yurgir, because that would fulfill his contract with Raphael and Raphael would then take care of Yurgir himself and not read Astarion's scars! Astarion would then get angry because you put the devil before his needs and if your roll of the dice is wrong, he would leave your group permanently!!!)

I can't go to Nightsong beforehand because the 4th Umbral Orb is with the Orthon Yurgir. Even if I don't kill the Rat Sharite, I would have to kill Yurgir first, which would start Astarion's romance too early.

As my game is in Honor Mode, I can't go back to an earlier point in time. I'll probably have to put up with Astarion yelling at me. Since I haven't spoken to Araj Oblodra yet, I have to hope that I can still start the romance this way.

Minthy is bugged for me in Moonrise Tower (doesn't speak to me) and apart from Shadowheart and Astarion, all of my companions have had small accidents.

If it doesn't work, I'll start a new game crazy

So we can rule out this route too. We can report this as a bug, since I don't see any other way to trigger this scene and Celestia couldn't trigger it with Gale

Edit:

Astarion save our romance party cheer kiss ...

He used our tried and tested tactic "Kill first, ask later." smile So Raphael had no chance to talk to Yurgir.

The fight was a bit unusual, but yes... dead is dead... the romance is saved. smile I'm glad I don't have to start the romance through Araj.
