[SanjuroTsubaki]

I can't rescue Orin's victim from bhaals temple, because the victim and orin won't spawn in. walked out the thingn 15 times in a row and tried reloading saves and all, still got nothing.

Kinda, I'm able to get Orin's netherstone and proceed with the game main story, but the kidnapped character is still in the altar, I'll have to leave her behind (Lae'zel in my case).

What you do is:

1 - Download and install CheatEngine
https://www.cheatengine.org/downloads.php

2 - Download the Baldur's Gate 3 Fearless cheat codes:
https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?t=13996

3 - Select the game process in "File - Open process" and load it, keeping the cheat list

4 - Find the cheat in the list:
Console commands -> Register commands -> Testing stuff -> Miscellaneous -> Set flag

5 - double click the "<script>" on that line, to edit the script of that cheat.

6 - On line 9 or 10, there will be a valor that starts with "local uuid", change that whole line to the following (Don't break the line, put all the following in the same line):
local uuid = "19065fd0-7583-4866-ba65-211420fde7a2" --Debug_GLO_EmperorPrelude_GetOrinStone

7 - Click "ok" at the bottom to save the changes in the script, and select the box of the "Set flag" cheat on the list.

If done correctly, as soon as you mark the box, a cutscene will play on the game, as if you had just killed Orin, receiving her stone and updating the quests.


EDIT: I've found a bunch of other flags that *should* free the victim but I wasn't able to make them work:

--local uuid = "103a9b67-e2bb-4823-8262-e0d97aaca769" --LOW_BhaalTemple_BhaalAccepted_Confrontation_Enabled

--local uuid = "05b66d87-1271-48a5-92bc-b226aedb79a6" --LOW_BhaalTemple_BhaalAccepted_Confrontation_StartCombat

--local uuid = "8dca8ba2-f2ca-44ca-b966-75ff7d839075" --LOW_BhaalTemple_State_SpokenToAbducteePostCombat

--local uuid = "985bbeec-3d2b-4e0f-9bc4-1e12410a758a" --LOW_BhaalTemple_State_WithersAwakenedVictim

--local uuid = "19065fd0-7583-4866-ba65-211420fde7a2" --Debug_GLO_EmperorPrelude_GetOrinStone

--local uuid = "4655f928-5b4d-76ec-888e-70bedc5bd78f" --24fdca11-0db4-2aeb-fc57-a88c88256778_KnowsOrinInBhaalTemple

--local uuid = "cedc10cf-2d82-496e-ad98-83ea5a7b3565" --LOW_BhaalTemple_Event_VictimAwakened

--local uuid = "494df8e1-a986-4744-958f-b33880dd5bb2" --LOW_BhaalTemple_State_OrinInTemple

local uuid = "2f0ad86d-e4c7-47f9-bb8b-bb7b8f3ebc40" --LOW_BhaalTemple_State_WasAbductedLaezel

*The "--" at the start just disables the line in the script, there can be only enabled at a time*

Honestly, this worked out well but I somehow ended up with a fifth character in my party, Minthara. That's better than redoing the entire playthrough though! You deserve a shoutout and award for coming up with this clever solution.

As a disclaimer to others, CheatEngine triggered my antivirus like crazy. I had to incorporate a few extra steps to install it using Lazarus to prevent it from triggering the AV and without disabling the AV either.

Good stuff!

Yeah when we mess around with the game memory like that some weird things can happen, weirdly enough in my case I got no 5th character in my party.

I downloaded cheatengine from your link but i cant get your method to work as the directories are different. Under Misc. there is no setflag toggle to edit. It looks like it's a separate directory now but i couldn't make it work when looking at the separate directory.

I've made a video on how to do it, and I also uploaded my CheatEngine file so you can use:
Video:
youtube.com/watch?v=6mXCXWS1HGU&ab_channel=Linium
File:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AQ7ZmiqXRPBN1UQU2vN5Ool_2YCfIIzR/view?usp=sharing

I couldn't show the cheat working cause I dont have a save file from back then to reproduce it, but I showed how to do in the video with the file I've sent.

So, hotfix 4 brought Orin back, and I can kill her and move on with my game but I can't initiate a cutscene/talk to her which means the victim is still stuck on the altar

Is it not possible to use Cheat Engine to Spawn Orin, flag her according to the companion she abducted, and then make her an NPC? I'd do it myself, but I have no clue what input is needed for the Spawn Unit script to work for Orin.

[MrBlunderful]

With Hotfix 4 redeployed, I no longer see the need to use CheatEngine anymore.

[Tiago [Linium]]

Indeed, hotfix #4 has solved this issue.

[$CRWD]

How did you all resolve the bug with hotfix #4? The temple remains open, with no cutscene trigger or Orin still.

Same for me. She's still just not there at all.

I wasn't able to find a solution; a cursory search revealed that others are still experiencing issues related to the third netherstone/Orin encounter in spite of hotfix 4's redeployment. The only option, aside from waiting for hotfix 5: follow Tiago's guide, skipping the quest and losing a companion.

Sort of ridiculous that cheatengine is the only "fix" at the moment. Really frustrating.

Additionally, that this solution is /required/ for a core quest. Not a side-quest, but a quest essential to the completion of the main story. This isn't acceptable and has put me off the prospect of another playthrough. At this rate, I might pick it up a month later, perhaps after Starfield.

Exactly. It's not like we can just avoid this bug, it completely disallows us game completion.

It's a deeper issue. Act 3 of this game is an incredible mess tbh. I really enjoy the game, and I think Larian does a good job at being transparent, but...what happened? Such a lengthy development time and early access period. Maybe play testing only the first third of the game wasn't a great idea.
