Astel is a reoccurring boss in Elden Ring. For the non-boss variant, see Withered Astel.
Overview[]
A malformed star born in a flightless void far away,[1] composed of many-colored star debris.[2] It is said to have assailed an Eternal City,[3][4] destroying it and taking away its sky.[1]
It has a vaguely insectoid body, comprised of multi-colored orbs that form a tail akin to a scorpion's, with translucent wings and six limbs that end in human-like hands, with the front two possessing six digits each. It has a humanoid skull with large mandibles, and a large blue eye can be seen through a crack in the front of the skull.

Trivia[]
- The Astels have an unused animation in which they descend from the sky like a meteor. This move is used by Starscourge Radahn.
- In game version 1.00, Astel, Naturalborn of the Void was named Astel, Misbegotten of the Void. At the time, the Misbegotten were referred to as Aberrations.
- The boss arena for Astel, Naturalborn of the Void may have featured an Ancestor Spirit during development.
- The internal data for the room includes spawn markers for an Ancestor Spirit and the spirit animals. This might explain the presence of the rot-infused Ancestral Followers during game version 1.00. These followers were removed in a subsequent patch and the putrid variants became Unused Content.
- It is also possible one of the Ancestor Spirit boss rooms was duplicated as a template.
