Baldur's Gate 3 sleuth discovers "extremely dark" Astarion kidnapping scene that almost nobody has seen even more than a year later

Baldur's Gate 3 pale vampire elf Astarion, a man with curly white hair and red eyes.

Baldur's Gate 3 has the soul of a doomsday prepper in the sense that the RPG is always ready for even the most unlikely scenarios, as one player recently demonstrated with a rare Astarion scene most people miss during a typical campaign.

Here's the situation: it's possible that, after you long-rest multiple times in Act 3, vampire spawn will ambush your camp with the hope of returning Astarion to his sadistic master Cazador. And it is also possible that – as Reddit user Soft_Stage_446 explained in a thread – you can become Astarion soon after this, but only if you meet a very specific set of conditions.
