Finding Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3
As soon as you crash from the nautiloid ship and onto the mainland, you will be able to track down Astarion. I first recommend finding Shadowheart, if you rescued her from her pod, who is just north of your position on the beach. This will make future fights with enemies much simpler.
With or without Shadowheart, you need to head north and then through the remains on the nautiloid ship to the west. On the other side of the broken ship, you will be able to find Astarion crying for help on a dirt path. His exact position on the map is shown in the map screenshot below.
Your first encounter with Astarion won’t go according to plan with a lucky dice roll and some dialogue, but after a few minutes, you can add him to your party if you wish. Astarion is a Rogue who is perfect for opening locked doors, sneaking around enemies, and attacking from the shadows in combat.
