Quest: "Find Rolan in the shadows1

[Aeriavi]

Hello! I am in the shadow lands looking for rolan that went out in the dark alone, ive gone through basically the entire map of the shadow cursed lands without any luck with finding him. Anyone have any idea as to where he is located?

For those who have not yet found Roland, there is a device with a hologram in the tavern where the tieflings are, use it and there will be a marker on the map where to look for him, apparently if you do not use this device the quest will break, and so for the sake of the fan Karlach ( or ho have many str) can put his corpse in his pocket )))

yep also found him way before i did the quest and did not see the holographic device. it will not activate the status "found" even if you drop the bloody body right in front of his siblings

I didn't find any hologram. I saved the Tieflings from Moonrise, rode back with them on a boat to Last Light then talked to them per the Journal suggestion and found Roland had left the inn. Found him at the spot shown in the screen shot early in this thread. He was fighting two Shadow things that were like L3 and easily dispatched in a turn.

The quest to save the tieflings ended for me after the Moon Towers, so if only Roland died, it will end, but with a bug :( in my case, a bard was killed in the tavern, and she had to reach Baldur's Gate, so I encountered a bug, more I will not tell... spoilers

There is only one hologram, on the bar counter

I wasn't able to save Rolan. I had saved the tieflings, beaten Ketheric, and the shadow curse is slowly lifting. By the time I found Rolan, he was temporarily hostile and afflicted with the shadow curse. Couldn't even knock him out with non-lethal blows.

[Loquitran]

I think you have to lift the shadow curse to prevent Rolan from dying. I'm not sure though. I found him turned into an undead and had to put him down. And after rescuing their siblings, they are wondering where Rolan is and you don't have the option to tell them. I just assumed this quest was bugged and I moved on.

this quest with Rolan is really bad, terribly thought through


Eventually, developers want you to go from waypoint to waypoint. But If you step a bit left from the main road you find Rolan fighting with shadows.
When I came on aid and had to Kill Rolan due to permanent curse.

Whoever wrote that story/quest is dumb as doorbell. Make possible to resurrect Rolan or give more time before the permanent effect of the curse.
Now I cannot close that quest at all. So stupid

This quest is bugged as hell, when i found rolan he's already ded, hope devs will fix it

why banned? my 2nd playtrough went to hell because of that, its not a good design if you have npcs to take care of until you save them.

[Amateur Nitpicker]

I saved scummed. If you didnt get him on time he will be an undead shadow monster. He is at the southeast part of the map

Backtracked 6 hours of gaming 😭

[Bravado]

The Rolan fight can proc if you are walking on the path above him without initiating combat for the party. You can have no idea he is there and just walk past him while he dies without ever having gotten the quest yet and you won't have a clue. Happened to me. Found out like 6 hours of play later. Heh.

[Odrax]

I didn't know he was missing, I didn't have a quest to save him, and I hadn't rescued his siblings yet when I randomly found him at the south of the map. I saved him from the shadows, and he told me he was returning to the last light inn. However, after walking back a few meters, he just turned back and ran into the shadow curse. Don't know if it is a bug or if it was supposed to happen but it felt really strange.

The AI is super buggy because of the shadow curse. I've seen a Harper just hang out in the shadow curse for no good reason and then it died right before me, of course I had to kill it after. It was not scripted, just the AI being dumb.

went there after talking to him at the inn
didn't know he would be there i was just exploring
punched him, still dead
yea forget it
next time i hope

I found hostile Rolan before I even got the quest - hadn't been to the tower's prison yet.
He was fighting some shadow creature.
He was "temporarly-hostile" so I figured I don't want to kill him so I killed the shadows and just shoved Rolan away and ran away to escape the combat. When I returned he wasn't there.

Some hours later when I freed the syblings I received the quest find Rolan in the shadows... problem is now he isn't there anymore.
Further more the journal states something along the lines:
Safe once more, embarassed Rolan went back to the Inn. we should meet him there.

Except he isn't at the inn either.

T_T

I have the same problem, my diary says:
"Safe once more, embarassed Rolan went back to the Inn. we should meet him there."
But I can't find him anywhere.

Got this similar problem basically, except he wasn't hostile at first but the dumb **** walked into my Moonbeam spell and became hostile. Had to dash away to escape him after killing the shadows. Now my journal says to meet him at the Inn but he won't move from the spot he fought the shadows in and idk what to
