Where's my damn owlbear?

[TheVileFrog]

I eviscerated the goblin camp but the owlbear cub hasn't turned up. I killed its mom and spoke to it at the goblin camp but it's nowhere to be found?

The previous version require you to interact with the owlbear after killing the mother and then take a long rest... however, I met similar problems

I've had it show up at camp but then Karlach sacred it away on accident and I haven't seen it since. This was post goblin camp too.

[Catsim]

I had it show up when I knocked out the mom with non-lethal mode after destroying the camp so I didn't see it in the camp. It was way later though when I took a long rest in the Underdark.

I think the owlbear shows up randomly. For some people. He showed up quickly. For me... he didn't show up till I was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ level 8, and nearly finished with the lady of loss' temple.

But you need to do more than speak with it at the goblin camp. You need to free him. Your character will say "hope he's able to follow my scent to the camp." letting you know you did it correctly.

There's technically three ways to free him. You can kill all of the goblins outside via poisoning. Force the gobo to give him to you. Or just kill all the goblins in sight.
