Where is the girl in the Witch's Curse?

[Baron HotTub]

There is a mission about 5 or 6 in where you meet a witch, that curses you unless you find her daughter.

Unfortunately, it appears the game did not actually put her daughter in the game... I've killed every enemy on the map, searched every hex for two hours now, and there is no daughter.

If anyone managed to succeed in this quest, I'd be very interested in how!

EDIT: Second time I played this scenario, the witch's daughter did appear.

NW to the mana pool captured by empire, in an island in the swamp. She is a Wolf Mother.

Is this in Veilwood you are talking about? On my map there is no mana pool in the NW... (there is one in the NE, and there is no wolf mother anywhere near there). Hmm. I wonder if I killed her...

[Baron HotTub]

Ok, started the scenario again... she appeared. Seems this map has to be played a certain way in a certain order. Shame, as the cost of not knowing exactly what to do is rather high...

Well, it should work either way, but if you can remember what "broke" the map in your case potentially, we are happy to investigate and fix if possible.

Thanks - who knows. I guess something just didn't trigger in my first play through of the quest. In case it helps, I visited all the witches before attacking the empire troops at the mana pool the first time. The second time I only visited the first witch.

I skip the witches and the empire troops, creep around the edge of the map to the East and then South until I find the Wolf Mother (lost girl) and then run for the exit! :)

I swear I have methodically stepped on every single hex on this entire map and I can't find the girl. Every single critter is dead, every ruin explored.

Where, exactly, is this location? Directions along the lines of "4 hexes north, 3 north east" or some such. I don't want to live the entire campaign cursed because I can't find this girl.

Middle of map on east (right) side, you can skirt around all the bad guys in the middle of the map and go right to her. Also, you don't need to visit the witches hut to find her or give her back, just ignore them witches! :)

[chriskessel]

It's too late now, I've already visited the witches and it's a long map so I really don't want to restart :(

I'll go hunting on the east middle again.

[chriskessel]

I formed a line of units 15 wide starting at the exit zone and walked north, 1 hex per turn, to the top of the map. No girl :(

Super frustrating. I've spent a hour combing this map. Took me hours to play it through the first time to get a really good outcome.

[blindseye]

She used to be to the NW of the exit zone, not too far away, maybe a couple turns worth of moves, but maybe she has been moved? Also, interacting with the witches can change if she shows up or not, I think it depends on what you tell the witches you will do, but it has been a few months since I played, sorry.

That Wolf Mother is at the brink of swamp, between the two Mana Pools. You have go too far east and missed her.

Thanks, I absolutely covered that in my methodical sweep. Probably multiple times. I hit every single hex from the east edge of the board to the Imperial mana spot from the exit zone to the top of the map.

I finally gave up and replayed the mission and the event happened this time. In the first one, I'd hit both witch camps first. In the 2nd, I didn't hit either, if that makes a difference.

Definitely a buggy map/event.

Has any Vampire Bats escaped to that direction after heavily damaged? That Wolf Mother is tagged as a Neutral unit before you find her, and if AI see enemies coming in, they may be activated to act in unpredictable ways (starting an attack, run away from current position to chase enemy units, etc.). I have to say that I never faced such a situation you have said.

If you don't go to either witch camp, you will find the Wolf Mother where we said, to NW of exit zone. If you go to one or both of the witch camps, then the results vary based on how you interact with the witches.
