Owlbear Cub in Act 2?

[AlisterCat]

I am at the very end of Act 1 with nothing left to do. I didn't long rest much after freeing the owl bear cub so it hasn't joined my camp yet. If I proceed through the mountain pass will the cub still visit me after a long rest?

The alternative is taking a bunch of long rests right now in a row to get it before proceeding.

Mountain Pass is still Act 1 iirc, it's just a higher level area.
Honestly, you should probably pump out some long rests anyway just to make sure companion dialogues are all caught up, they tend to fall behind if you play efficiently. There's no real punishment for long resting in Act 1 outside of a certain quest in the underdark.

You can always just partial rest so you don't use any supplies

Have a potion of animal talking and take a long rest. This triggered an event with him coming for food. I failed the low skill check(Think it was a roll of 5 to beat) and scared him away. :(

First time it gets scared away anyway by random companion. It comes back couple more times to stay permanently.

Excellent. Thanks for the info!

He's useless anyway. One conversation and that's it.

Already finished it once and didn't get him the first time. I'm nearing the end in the game I picked him up in. If he's just an end battle thing, I question the point considering I have a dozen other allies for completion's sake.

Scratch at least has camp interaction and fetches items. Other than the scene where they become best buds, and apparently end game fight potential, he's kind of lame. They should have given him some more lines.

Kind of amusing, too. I played evil in the first game and I don't think I finished any "ally" quests, and now this game where I'm good, I've gathered so many, I can't imagine how easy this fight will be now. I didn't have too much trouble going it alone, even did it minus a party member because I had to off one from a poor choice and didn't pick up a merc. Now I'm practically taking an army with me.
