Astarion Quest (Lady Incognita)

[Lycaøn]

I'm a little bit into astarions quest in the attic i've followed the bredcrumbs of the niece of szarr's family and its led me to a note that says "im a vampire, i live in the attic, im now Lady incognita" which is funny because i can't find her, dunno if its meant to be a joke or if you actually find this person, i found a coffin that's definitely a vampire coffin i can hit it but all damage hits for 0 and i can't de curse?

is there a character called incognita here or am i wasting my time?

May I ask where you found this coffin?

[Hawke]

I've been in the attic (past the ring-locked door to the right), but didn't find anyone.
Also, I couldn't kill the vampire spawn that was supposed to pretend to be dead (with poison).

I've been wondering the same thing--I'll bet that's her coffin (I too kept trying to interact with it) and they just didn't finish her content. Hope I'm wrong though and that I'm missing something, because it seems like a Lady Incognita arc of the Szarr story would be really cool, even if it wouldn't ultimately change your decision points re: the larger Cazador quest.

I was also curious about lady Incognita. Too bad we (and esp. Astarion ) didn't meet her

[Mrs Ormolu]

I've been wondering about her too. I explored the palace after The Big Fight, and she's obviously lived there recently. I'm going to explore the attic before The Big Fight to see if it makes a difference. Like you, I'd love to meet her, her story sounds so interesting. And I hope she might have some words of encouragement for A.

btw, the vampire spawn who's pretending to be dead - I picked him up and carried him with me, just so I could put him in the sun when i went outside again. He sounded like a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to his poor werewolf girlfriend so he deserved it.

[JustPixel]

Most likely cut content/setting up Cazador as an even more of a ♥♥♥♥. In general Cazador feels like an after tough. There is also a room the serve no purpose (the 4 marble plate one) with incorrectly named objects (broken levers are called marble plates, so)

The palace was underwhelming and small. The whole attic mystery only led to a hidden room with loot. You just read letters to learn about Cazador's relative he forced to become a vampire. It seems she was good hearted enough to try to resist what Cazador was trying to make her into. Thus she decided to never leave the attic. It feels like it could have been something more than fluff.

But again everything surrounding the end of Astarion's quest line feels like a gust in the wind. For a vampire den there was a great lack of vampires to fight. Just the dining hall fight and then Cazador, felt anti-climatic. Also, Cazador was such a cartoonish 1 dimensional villain, all the hype and then it just feels rushed.

Spend over an hour on that attic trying to see if I missed anything about that breadcrumb and/or another way down to the other obviously hidden room at the other side of the ballroom. No dice

You open the door to the other secret room by splitting up your party, have someone press the button in the room with attic ladder in. The door to that room will shut but the other one will open.

So far I have found the attic area discussing lady incognita aswell as a book hidden behind a crypt door with the entombment clot thing about the 2 blood diseases that can inconvenience vampires (it’s in the same room as the skull with a scroll in its mouth in a row of books just above the row on the desk)

Hey my take on this is she just became a member of the family so to speak. Her final letter in the treasure room says it all. She succumbed to the pressure and torture of the family. So she started torturing others to stop them from torturing her. It explains the torture equipment in the attic. That's why amanita, her humanity, is no more. She is now lady incognita. I feel the name is a little on the nose too. That's the way I saw it anyway.
