Cazador, a Vampire Lord, is the main antagonist of Astarion’s companion quest in Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Cazador Szarr is a vampire that you encounter as part of Astarion’s quest in Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3. The high elf was bound to Cazador once and now seeks revenge after gaining freedom because of the Tadpole.
In this guide, we shall take a lot at who Cazador is, where to find him, and the different ways in which you can beat him.
Who is Cazador and Where to Find Him
Cazador is a master vampire in Baldur’s Gate 3. He is the main antagonist of Astarion’s Companion quest, and you will find him in Act 3 of the game. The story goes that Astarion still feels the influence of the master vampire through dream sequences.
To find the Vampire Lord, make your way to the Lower City Central Wall in Baldur’s Gate and enter the Central Watch Tower. Go up and take a right towards the guardpost room. Climb the ladder in the room and go up the staircase to the room above. Follow the ramparts till you reach a dead end. Take the orange door on the right as it is the entrance to Cazador’s Palace.
Once in the main hall of the palace, follow the red carpet on the floor past the curtains and reach the Sinister Door.
How to Beat Cazador
Prepare for the Fight
Cazador is a level 12 vampire, so you must make it a priority to be as close to this level as possible for a fair fight. The Paladin class is highly useful against Cazador as the class character can heal the injured members of your party, thereby increasing your odds of beating the master vampire.
Since Cazador is a vampire, the Daylight spell is very much his kryptonite. The Level 3 evocation spell allows you to enchant weapons to “shine like the sun” or summon a sphere of sunlight to “dispel the darkness.” Alternatively, you can also use Moonbeam. Both these spells deal radiant damage and are highly effective against Cazador. Make sure to carry these spells and enchant yourself before the fight ensues.
If you have Astarion in your party, he will be unable to participate in the combat for story reasons. To avoid this, separate him from the party and keep him outside before initiating dialogue with Cazador. Once the fight has begun, drag him into the arena to use him.
Beat the Vampire
After the fight begins, crowd management is the name of the game. Cazador has bats and werewolves as allies that will swarm you with no hesitation. Deal with them first using radiation spells. In the corners of the arena, you will spot ritual circles with Vampire Spawn that power Cazador. Place a party member in each of these circles to interrupt the ritual and cut off his power supply.
