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 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.
- The critical hit effect ignores the target's magic resistance. Some creatures (such as Belhifet) are immune to the unconsciousness though.
