Dammon Not appearing at Last Light Inn

[Dannyboy0402]

I've been through all the Google searches, so I'm posting it here. Dammon does not appear at the Last Light Inn during Act 2 for some reason, I've seen the videos and know where and what the stipulations are (before killing/saving Nightsong). I even reloaded Act 1 and went through the Underdark but no change, done reloads, shut down and restart, all the usual stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I've got the exact same thing, can't progress Karlach's quest because of it. Haven't found a fix yet

There are time sensitive quests.

If you long rest in the middle of that, you will get the outcome you have.

You literally have to talk to him as soon as you get there. Doing anything else risks him dying.

It may or may not be the path you choose as well. Going to the inn via overpass in the mountains is not the path I used and was able to do her romance.

I literally walked straight to the forge as soon as I got to the inn, so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with resting. Every other NPC seems to have made the trip successfully as well, just specifically Dammon disappeared.

Which path did you go to get to the inn, and did you encounter the patrol that came from the inn?

Because small things like that can influence it. There is someone you have to free in a burning building. Long resting or walking away from it on discovery will kill him. Odds are something similar happened here for dammon.

I can say this. ancient forge to moonrise towers, saving the inns hunting party, not doing the gityanki crèche, and not long resting between forge and inn did allow me to complete her quest and use a second piece of iron when I got there.

Apart from the Crèche, everything was the same on my end. If I had to guess, it's probably a bug caused by me evacuating the camp before completing the first engine tune up. The game never acts like that's a problem, either from the NPCs or the journal, but it may cause some weird glitch for his spawns maybe.

Just tuning in to say I've had the same issue, did the first upgrade, saved the grove, went to last Light through the underdark, and no Dammon on arrival.
Went to save the living tieflings and he wasn't there.
Opened a bug report with larian

My only hope is either them or someone who develops a cheat engine to spawn him.

Very little bugs my immersion but bugs like this that go against what I wanted to do in a run do... Lost a bit of my will to play untill I get a response. Disappointed to say the least.

Minor bugs are totally fine, not thoroughly QA a MAIN companion questline is unfortunate.... :(

Did you get the first upgrade? i rerolled back to act1 before freeing the grove to get the upgrade... was missing for me as well. Now he waits in baldurs gate and not at the inn

[Dannyboy0402]

So I've done EVERYTHING y'all have mentioned already. I reverted back to act 1, went underdark, saved the hunting party, no long rest before, went straight to Last Light Inn and nothing. Dammon is simply not there but quest reads same as before of heading to Baldurs Gate yet everyone's says that and he still shows in act 2 so I know it isn't a dialog choice on my end.

[Dolan]

found this on reddit, so there is still hope to get to Dammon in Act3!
I Upgraded with Dammon as he was still in the Druid grove, before clearing the goblin camp.
Also dont kill the strange Ox in the cove

"In Act 3 if you missed him in Act 2 - you can find him to the left of elfsong tavern in lower city of baldurs gate. Building is called forge of the nine.

So when you find him in Act 3 you can give him the second piece and its fine?

Yep,
No problem at all.
I did run into this; there was no option for him to craft the extra pieces of armor with the other infernal metals.
But to me - i didnt really care about that. I cared about the questline.
The second piece of gear goes into her and you get the same dialogue that you would if you did it in act 2."

Necroing this I found the culprit. After you kill the goblins and the tieflings are evacuating you find a strange Ox in the grove (the one that explodes into ooze if you kill it) IF YOU KILL THAT DAMMON WILL NOT BE AT LAST LIGHT

Also don't follow Shadowhearts ambitions and make her dreams come true if you like dammon.

[Dolan]

but he should be in baldurs gate in act3 and dont kill Nightsong

Seriously? Speak with Animals plus other checks tells you it's bad news and it could probably kill one of the refugees, guess I'll see him in Baldur's gate because I'm not redoing 10 hours because of a bug

Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ really? You're telling me murdering a strange ox cost me the companion/romance quest with the hot tiefling chick? How in the hell does that influence it wtf??

[Loyal]

same problem here...
I killed the strange ox and I hadn't begun the quest for Karlach until the tieffelins had left.
