Bastard's Stars Location

Obtained by Trading In the Remembrance of the Naturalborn

Bastard's Stars is a Remembrance weapon that you can obtain by defeating Astel, Naturalborn of the Void and turning in the Remembrance of the Naturalborn to Enia at the Roundtable Hold. You will need to spend 10,000 Runes to get the Bastard's Stars flail.

Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is found as part of Ranni the Witch's questline, at the end of the Lake of Rot in the Ainsel River. Use the coffin at the end of the Grand Cloister to reach the boss room.

How to Beat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void

How to Find Astel, Naturalborn of the Void

1	Reach the Lake of Rot in Ainsel River. The easiest way to get to Ainsel River is by taking the waygate teleporter in Renna's Rise as part of Ranni's questline.
2	Cross the Lake of Rot, going from isle to isle, until you reach the Grand Cloister. Use Preserving Bolsuses and equipment that raises your immunity such as the Immunizing Horn Charm to help protect you from Scarlet Rot. Use the platform switches across the lake to make it easier for you to cross.
3	Enter the coffin teleporter at the Grand Cloister to reach the area before Astel's boss arena.
4	Enter the fog door and defeat Astel, Naturalborn of the Void to obtain the Remembrance of the Naturalborn. You can then give it to Enia at the Roundtable Hold to get the Bastard's Stars.
