Azaryn is the best paragon you can get in Stellaris. Especially if you get her event chain early in the game. That’s why I decided to make this complete Azaryn Guide for Stellaris fans.
There is one thing you should know though, Azaryn will only appear if you have the Galactic Paragons DLC. Or Stellaris expansion subscription which is unlocking all DLCs as long as you pay the monthly fee.
STELLARIS best GALAXY SETTINGS
She’s different from other paragons for three reasons. For one, she’s level 7 scientist with exceptional abilities. Secondly, she can turn three planets into Gaia worlds with her special ability. Thirdly, she will give amazing modifier bonuses to your capital planet if you answer her questions correctly.
How to Get Azaryn in Stellaris?
Azaryn is a Legendary paragon in Stellaris and can only be hired by an event which is somewhat rare.
Every 5 year a RNG will roll with %1 chance of Azaryn event hitting a random empire. That means you’ll get Azaryn if you’re lucky, especially in large, populated galaxy setups. Though I think this chance is a little bit higher for the player empire. But keep in mind, it’s impossible to get Azaryn if you are militarist or gestalt consciousness.
All in all, even if you met all the criteria’s, getting Azaryn is up to RNG.
Azaryn Questions / Answers
Azaryn will ask 4 questions to player. Answering them wrong or correct will have no impact on recruiting Azaryn because she will join regardless. However, correct answer will add 2 years of pheromone bonus to your capital planet. So, in the end, it’s worth giving the answer Azaryn wants.
Question number 1:
Azaryn: How do you value life?
- Correct answer: Is this a trick question?
- Wrong answer: That depends. Life comes in many forms.
Azaryn’s Gift:
The supposed gift we received from Azaryn is in fact a plant-based bacteria, anything we’ve ever seen. Neutralizing it will provide a dangerous challenge. However, if we are successful, it would further our understanding of science and medicine.
Research cost is 1000 society knowledge.Conclusion:
We have made progress with Azaryn’s organic “gift”. The growing potential for interdisciplinary scientific advancement is encouraging.
We have collected our findings, having neutralized any potential threat from microorganism, and we are ready to contact Azaryn again.
Question number 2:
Azaryn: To escape death, would you take the life of another?
- Correct answer: Yes, we would.
- Wrong answer: No, we would not.
Azaryn’s Rafflesia:
Azaryn has tasked us with blooming a giant flower bud, native to her dome ship’s ecosystem. Based on initial observations, this flower may be of great astrobiological significance.
Research cost is 4000 society knowledge.Conclusion:
Our initial attempts to provoke a reaction from the flower bud were underwhelming. It was only when we applied electrical stimuli beyond our usual safety parameters that we were able to bring the flower to bloom. We have completed Azaryn’s latest task, and are ready to contact her again. – Well done. Contact Azaryn.
Question number 3:
Azaryn: Would you sacrifice your own kind if it meant you could save lives elsewhere, on a massive scale?
- Correct answer: We would.
- Wrong answer: No, never.
Question number 4:
Azaryn: Would you hesitate to remove a threat?
- Correct answer: Yes. Decisive actions require consideration.
- Wrong answer: No. Hesitation gets you killed.
Well, I have asked you enough questions. You possess admirable patience. I will take some time to collate this information. We shall speak again soon.
Then she joins to your empire as a new scientist leader, concluding the special event. Also, you get a bonus modifier on your capital.

Astrocreator Azaryn
Once you complete Azaryn questline and answer all of her questions, she’ll appear before you, ready to enlist!
Astrocreator Azaryn – The Legendary Paragon:
Warm greetings. I have concluded that you are an excellent advocate for astrocreation!
Azaryn smiles.
Together we shall breathe life into the void. Together, we shall inspire hope for all.
As long as you strive to create new life, my skills and my ship are at your disposal. If this pleases you, I will gladly join you.
- What exactly is astrocreation?
Astrocreation is an advanced variant of terraformation. It is incredibly powerful. By seeding a planet with one of my Terraformation Nuclei (Azaryn indicates the buds on her back.) we will be able to transform almost any planet into a thriving Gaia World. The process requires a great deal of enegry, but the results are nothing short of spectacular. - What are those things on your back?
(Azaryn appears surprised at the question.)
A trait unique to my species, simply put. In our youth, they grow quickly – not without discomfort, I might add – and must be pruned regularly, lest we be weighed down by them. (She smiles.) At my age, however, such troubles are a thing of the past.
They are not quite seeds, but it would do for an analogy. I’ve come to call them Terraformation Nuclei. Within them sleeps the potential for growth, for rebirth, and for life. - What is that buzzing, tiny drone of yours?
Ah, this one? Azaryn gently lifts the little flier. This is a pollination drone. They help to ensure the vigor and future of my ship’s ecosystem.
They’re not altogether inorganic, and even possess the ability to produce pollen on their own. Azaryn points at the drone’s bottom. They can even regulate pollen-transferral by use of static magnetism from their battery terminals. Adorable isn’t it? - ENLIST.
Typing quickly into a command console, Azaryn adjust some instruments.
Wonderful! I have plotted a course for your capital, and will be arriving shortly. ***
Oh, and before I forget, my ship’s ecosystem is home to a wide variety of ectohormones. To mark this joyous occasion, please accept this gift of pheromones. They contain a potent compound which will bring certain benefits to your people. It is well deserved.
What to Do With Azaryn?
Since Astrocreator Azaryn has Perceptive Mentor (+1 leader trait options), Spark of Genius (Research Speed +3%) and is level 7 with multiple ability choices. I recommend you make her head of scientist on your council. If your head of scientist is a curator, rearrange your council and appoint your curator as a curator archivist so that you can appoint Azaryn as your head of scientist for the most optimal research production.
As for her ship, unfortunately you can’t re-assign Azaryn to a new ship or dismantle her original one. Thus, making it impossible to use jump drive or astral jump with Azaryn. It sucks but that’s the price you pay for a free level 7 giga scientist.
Her ship is called The Vivarium and can turn three planets into gaia worlds by using transfix terraformation nucleus. It is why getting her early is very powerful.
Azaryn Event ID
Do you want to cheat? Are you a cheater? There you go then, here is the console command that spawns the Legendary Paragon Azaryn in Stellaris.
event paragon.228
To open the console, you must hit the ” or ~ button on your keyboard. Then simply copy paste the command above to Stellaris console to get her instantly without all the fuss.
You can also get Azaryn early by using some of the Stellaris mods but that would also be considered cheating.
But keep in mind, cheating can reduce the fun. And now we conclude the Azaryn guide, thanks for reading. Leave a nice comment below and I’ll see you soon.
