The Astral Crossbow +2 is an enchanted and magical light crossbow in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear that augments critical hits, boosts to hit and damage dealt to evil creatures.
| “ | The silvery string of this elegant weapon gleams like the silver strings connecting Astral Travelers to their bodies. Legends speak of a deva who crafted this weapon out of bits of soul from astral travelers, willingly given to the deva to forge a weapon of good. The deva passed the crossbow down to a champion of good on the mortal Plane, who wielded it for many years before falling under a glabrezu's claws. | ” |

Acquisition[]
- Quest reward for Zaviak's Vision Quest, given by – or looted from – the Endless Watcher
Gameplay[]
- As it's the case with almost all weapons that need ammunition, the enchantment level of the Astral Crossbow – which is only 1, despite being labeled as "+2" – is irrelevant for determining if creatures with certain immunities can be damaged with it at all: the enchantment of the bolts that are used is taken into account.
- A bonus of 2 is, however, still added to THAC0 and damage when attacking any creature, while it's even 4 if targeting evil aligned ones.
