Jaheira leaves me and I don't know why (Warning contains spoiler!)

[karljtw]

Hi,

I just defeated Ketheric Thorm for the first time and recruited Jaheira on the tower. After that I went down to the mindflayer clone (with Jaheira in the group) and defeated Ketheric Thorm for the second time (respectively apostle of myrkul). When I then click the corpse, the scene with the guardian comes and shortly after Jaheira comes up to me and says:

"I am also guilty that you have become what you are now. I was so intent on wielding my blades again that I overlooked the purpose for which I wield them.

That's over now, you just go your way, but I won't follow you any further.

I thought we were fighting the same battle. Maybe we are - and I just didn't realize which side you were on."

Then comes an overlay with the message Jaheira aht the group left and in the quest log it says:

"Jaheira has left us - and with her any chance of help from the Harpers in the coming battle".

All this happens no matter what I tell the guard too

And unfortunately I do not know what I did wrong. According to the Internet, everything should fit for her to stay. Isobel is still alive. Nightsong is also alive at the end of the fight (respectively Shadowheart didn't spear her) and so on.

Does anyone have an idea what it could be or is this a bug?

Thanks for the answers!

(And sorry for my english)

A negative because you had a summons out ???

😂 Maybe the peasant think they are enemies 😂😂 or maybe it's a bug

I had same problem with Jaheira. the only reason of that is that she or any member of her Harpers got Caustic Bane damage while trespassing Moontower hall's door. and they starting trespass it after you initiate dialog with Aeilin or Isobel for inviting them to the camp). to solve this problem disconnect your group after cutscene with stone from Ketheric's body , take Shadowhart first and go through portal. then create water on Caustic Bane (it is on the floor near the entrance to the Moontower's hall) and it washed it off the floor. after that you will have no any problem with this caustic bane acid damage. cheers

I figured out that if you allow Nightsong and Isobel to join your camp, Jaheira will leave. I think it has to do with the brutal way Nightsong smashed Ketheric's face in, and she is just not a fan at all.

I'm convinced she told me she could not join me in the mind flayer colony and just waited on the roof. She's more of a liability anyway at that point.

You can have Jaheira and them, no problem.

Sorry for late reply. I didn't know I was replied to. The thing is, I had Jeheira fight with me on the second Phase, where you fight Myrkul himself...kinda. and you see Jaeira's disgust when Nightsong crushes Ketheric's skull. When I invited Nightsong after the fight, that cause Jaheira to leave the party. I figured that it was either a bug or Jaheria just really doesn't like Nightsong after that entire fight.

BTW, that dialogue sounds like something she might say to a Dark Urge Tav who stayed on the Dark Urge path.

You didn't say you were doing Dark Urge, but if you're not, it sure looks to me like you're experiencing a bug.

Jaheira has a problem with Dark Urges who stay loyal to Bhaal and their intrinsic murderhobo nature. After all, she hasn't had the best interactions in previous games with Bhaalspawn.

The other time I've seen her leave in quite a huff is when you try to KO Minsc and kill him instead. If that happens, you not only lose out on Minsc but she leaves very pissed. Fortunately, I had a relatively recent save ... that was in my first playthrough where I was dense to what I know now, that "nonlethal" attacks CANNOT be with ranged weapons or spells. I sure wasn't TRYING to kill him, but ...

I found this in my run. She left the party because she and Wyll had a summon whit them. The people at the tower every time say "go out this is not your place". I do this, I reload the save after the fight with ketheric and killed the summon and after the teleport she doesn't left the party

My god I hope this is it.

I have not explored this scenario so it is more inquisitive in nature. I never have taken Jaheria into the Colony, but I suspect choices in any of these can turn Jaheria away.
Zevlor - did you purge or release?
Mizora (Wyll) - release or purge?
US - did you acquire if available?
Waking Mind -several outcomes

I never have taken Jaheria into the Colony.

You and any other companion have the same reaction to Nightsong's actions within the cut scene, so I doubt that would be the case.

If it was caustic fluid, I suspect you or a party member created it at some point in time and so you were blamed. Similar to what occurs when npc's walk into persistent spells after combat (moonbeam is the most often cited).

Here is a link that you (the last two people) should check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar

That original post is now 9 months old! The game has received 27 (or so) hotfixes and patches since then.

And that includes several changes to the behavior of NPCs regarding summons; last time I checked: NPCs don't care at all about any summons anymore - which is vastly different than at the time when this thread was started.

Here's a list with all patches and links to the notes, where you may find the changes, if you look for them: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Patch_Notes

THIS!!! this was the solution. I spend nearly several hours to find this. thats a dumb bug, but that helped.

Sounds like one of the rep triggers for fake-Jaheira is bugged out. I had her liking me so much in my first run that I let Astarion kill 7000 souls to become an ascended ♥♥♥♥♥♥-vampire lord, and Jaheira still stuck around. I made her kneel to me in Bhaal's temple and she still stuck around.

Must take some effort to make her leave, unless there is a bug, is what I'm trying to convey here. I did things that she would've straight up attacked me for in BG2 and she just let it slide.

Really? She attacked me at the exit of the Bhaal temple when I became the slayer in one of my previous runs (alongside Minsc), so in my last run I just killed her in act 2 to avoid it... didn't know you could avoid her turning on you if you do that.

Why haven't the developers at least fix the problem? Same thing, right after Ketheric was killed, she got into my face. I am playing Vampire, I think, since I did a bite attack in front of her, she wont join the party
