Owlbear cub just stuck in the cave eating...

[lily40k]

I dont know if this is a bug or what, but i probably took long rests 2-3 times after killing the big owlbear, and now i wiped the gobling camp and the cub is still in the cave.

Was i too quick to kill the goblins or this is a bug? i dont think they ever went to cave to fetch the cub...

[Moffin Bovin]

took me about 6 rests for the cub to show up.

in another game it was just 1.

Not sure if cub can be recruited not from goblins camp. Have you tried talking to it with animal speak potion/spell on?

He will show up when your sleeping asking for food even if ya kill the mom. Mine is now in camp full time

I killed the mom in the cave.. Left the cub there. Later on in goblin camp saw cub talked to it then went over to the goblin who runs the chicken chase game told her to let cub go.. Then it was back at my camp

Yeah problem is i killed the goblins too early and im afraid that pup wont got to them to later come to my camp. Hopefully they considered this scenario and pup will still show up.

Has he showed up later?
Bcos I guess I have the same problem, it's just eating mother and father.
However, I delayed coming to the camp of the latter. I cleaned goblin camp, and still worry about mintahra. But now also about the cub
I tried to have rest 6 times and there is nothing

[SkebbZ]

Doesn't he show up in act 2 or even the transition to 3? Can't remember, but anyway, there is a console command to force him to change states if you are using BG3SE.

For camp events, there is a mod that tells you whenever there is a camp rest event available.[www.nexusmods.com] You can even see how many are queued in the BG3SE console if you enable that.

Pretty sure you can get both the dog and Owlbear in act 1. OB can be obtained only after saving them from the gob fort where you meet the Trio of "chosen ones" think you can animal talk to the chicken into giving up or killing it then they bring out the owlbear.

all the same in the end you can save the OB in act one and it'll join you later.

The same thing happened, there are no saves before the big kill of the owlbear. The cub eats the corpse endlessly and does not appear in the goblin camp. I played for a week and because of this all the progress went down the drain, I started over. I did it like this: I called the absolute brother and sister to the cave, talked to the owlbear with the help of a peaceful potion, then came closer and attacked the absolute brother and sister, killed the owlbear, spared the cub and then killed the absolute brother and sister. Apparently, if you do this, the trigger for the cub to appear in the goblin camp does not work. I found many topics on reddit with this bug, wrote to the developers and sent a save. Write to them too and send your saves, let this be a massive failure and the bug will finally be fixed. https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1641qlb/potential_fix_for_cub_not_going_to_goblin_camp/

PS: In short, guys, I found how to solve this bug at the moment. The developer could do it in 5 minutes, but he doesn't.
1. Download https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/releases
2. In the \bin folder, create a file called “ScriptExtenderSettings.txt” and write in it:
{
"CreateConsole": true
}
3. Save and change the extension to ".json". The resulting file should be "ScriptExtenderSettings.json" (not "ScriptExtenderSettings.json.txt" or variations!)
4. Load the save and minimize the game, write in the console:
Osi.DB_FOR_BUGFIX_SendOwlbearCubToGOB(1)
5. Press Enter and go to the goblin camp. I got it)

If anything, I had a save before visiting the goblin camp.
Still, I tried this method from reddit and it worked.

I'll add. To avoid getting this bug, don't talk to the female bear owl under the potion of animal communication. And after you spared the cub, don't leave the cave and take a long rest, make sure that it has disappeared from the mother's body. If it has disappeared, then it's in the goblin camp.

Thank you, man. It has helped.

Thanks, man, it helped! I got the cub stuck in the corpse of its mother—maybe because I killed it on top of a cliff instead of on the ground. This method worked, though; I was kind of pissed at Larian for not fixing it until now.

I once made an effort to get the cub in my camp, because yes, he has a fun interaction in the Epilogue (he's all grown up huge & armored, natch). But as an "ally" in the endgame, eh, it's really not so important. Scratch is the better pet, hands down. I really like the way Shadowheart in particular interacts with him roaming the camp, now.

He usually attacks me now when I kill mommy & daddy (tac-honor-custom difficulty), but I've given up on a repeat reappearance. I saw him once in the Epilogue, talked to him with Speak with Animals, that was enough. And as I said, the other reason to keep him as a pet ... nah.
