Scratch's disappeared, need ur help

[bingus]

Scratch has disappeared (don't really know at what moment, I'm quite puzzled) and all the characters in the camp talk about him like he's dead (for example, when smb throws his ball I hear smth like 'poor Scratch, I miss him'). Has anyone experienced the same problem? And, what's more important, has anybody found how to fix that ♥♥♥♥? And why does it happen?
Act 1, if it matters.

[KiltedSatyr]

My Scratch disappeared as well on a multiplayer game. I wish i knew why

[narayan24]

Same here. He is missing from one minute to another. But in my camp nobody talks about it.

[coolhoho]

Scratch disappeared for me on the 4th long rest for some reason (I initially thought it was due to camping in the underdark but i tested it in other Act 1 areas as well using old saves and it seems it always happens for me. Tried resting a further 4-5 times but he didn't come back.

Anyone else experience this / does he eventually come back?

[CaptnDummy]

Same problem here since I entered the goblin camp and had a long rest.

[Walo]

Same for me

Edit : I found it in my camp by going to the spider matriarch area but it seems to be blocked by the training dummy and now I have the baby owl bear blocked too

[Tobacjoe]

My scratch didn't disappear but the ball to throw for him that is supposed to come back to me did disappear. I think i double clicked it in the inventory though. Maybe that drops it and I didn't notice.

Easiest way I found to find him- go to blighted villiage, then into the well near the waypoint, then to the camp- he may be stuck behind the training dummy there. I threw his ball nearby and it got him unstuck.

Perhaps Gales Aura killed him?

[Hydra Bob]

He shows up as my familiar. Just dismiss familiar and summon familiar to bring him back. Magic Scratch is goodest boy.

You are my hero.

[Sylina]

You can use the command spell to tell him to come to you if the ball throwing doesn't work.

[Imposture]

I threw a ball for him and he never came back. Multiplayer file and Singleplayer. Owlbear never showed up after the first cutscene either.

Can't take credit for finding the solution but if you cast fog cloud centered just on the ledge behind Scratch he will come out form behind the dummy. Finally freed him myself just now.

This. Works when you don't have the ball yet.

in act 3 there is an npc that takes him away permanently and the entire dialogue seems unfinished, if you lost him before act 3 disregard this
