(Act 2 Spoilers) Thaniel, Halsin and the shadowcurse

[Jadedragon]

I met him, have halsin at camp, also i did play hide & seek with him. Won the first round because i "cheated" with a scroll that lets me see the invisible. All though he said i should not cheat, he didnt know i cheated though so i guess that was not the issiue.

But then his "parents" and his "dog" showed up in round 2, i fought them, beaten them... And apperantly thaniel beat me. Cause after the fight he just stands there and claims victory in the dialogue, did i miss something? I was supposed to wake him didnt i? Why cant i add halsin to my group?

I think either i have quite some bugs or i messed something up horribly.

As additional information, i visited moonrise towers alredy and got a lantern that isnt broken (unlike the one i got from the underdark) maybe that helps? I can wake him with said lantern?

Yes, this is just the preamble to the quest. To complete halsins quest you must

1. Meet Art Cullagh sleeping in the last light inn
2. Go to the house of healing and get art's lute
3. Talk to halsin at camp so he visits Art's room
4. Play the lute for Art Cullagh

I don't remember the sequence exactly after that. This either triggers the portal fight at the last light beach or maybe you have to go back to the flower house and talk to Oliver/Thaniel again.

You did the same thing I did - which is the hide and seek encounter with Oliver at the flower house early. You just need to do the Art Cullagh stuff now and then you can get the triggers to continue the quest.

There is a person in the last inn you need to talk with to continue this quest.

Ok that lifts my worries XD so i didnt break anything and it just needs some more steps, thanks for letting me know!

that's the worst thing that can happen in the entire game, so you failed a huge amount of quests and missing a lot of loot now. you should consider reloading to save isobel. it's an easy fight, just leave 2-3 party members outside the main room and that way the boss can't heal himself very much. you probably won't ever be able to get halsin or finish the thaniel quest now.

oh well, that save is days back XD guess thats just part of BG3, doing mistakes and living with the consequences, to my defense i didnt expect that fight to happen so i wasnt prepared.

More luck in my next run i guess.

Isobel must be alive and not kidnapped.

Yea it is a bit more complicated.

A side note, he wasn't wrong tho. He did beat you in round 2 in that case, that round is to find him without got caught, right? He kinda pull it unfair yea. Just for the confusion.

[Morgian]

If she gets kidnapped, you get a different outcome. And an additional foe in the tower fight. I had that outcome, because I played dark urge, when it is kinda inevitable to kill off everyone in Last Light. Well, you may have a companion to sacrifice instead, but I was already running out :)

Am i just going invisible myself then? because doing a 0 hits search sounds impossible during a round based fight.

Im just reaaally sad for Dammon, even tried to resurrect him with a scroll XD

It's better to fight in the second round of hide and seek than sneak around and win. You get the same reward, but you get more XP from fighting.

you're gonna miss a ton of act 3 stuff too. you really don't have a pre isobel save? I would consider it playthrough ruining.

That makes place for new discoveries in my second run ^^ I have a pre isobel save but i dont feel like doing anything over again. Thanks for the suggestion still.
