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.
