*SPOILERS* Rescue the Druid Halsin quest

[herbiehanx]

I am closing the end of ACT 2. Currently my save is right before entering Nightsong's Prison. I just noticed that I have still "Rescue the Druid Halsin" quest active, though I have finished it ages ago. Now when I enter the prison with or without Halsin, my journal updates for the quest in question:

"Quest Completed! We left the area without seeing if the druid Halsin could help us."

All I want to know is if this will possibly bug Halsin later somehow, or if I'm good to continue the main quest? I really want to keep him as my companion in ACT 3. Thanks in advance!

Where is Halsim now?

Halsin is in my camp/party.

Did you maybe forget to talk with him back at the grove after you rescued him, so the quest log didn't update?

Nope, I talked to everyone at the grove and at the "after party", several times. I'm just worried if this will bug him out somehow.

Eh, if he's in your camp I think you're fine. If he leaves the party there's a status update for that. If you don't have a note saying he left, he should stick around.

I'm guessing so also. I will continue and see what happens, fingers crossed! :)

if i remember correctly, if you did not save Halsin but killed all the leaders, he will appear at the grove. Then if you talk to him at the grove, he would mention something like he wants to talk to you more, meet you at the camp. After talking to him, he would say he would tag alone with the party.

Did you do/trigger any of the above?

If you do not lift the curse and finish Halsin "companion quest" before you enter the Shadowfell (the place the Nightsong is imprisoned), you wont be able to do it after, and Halsin will leave you when you go to Act 3, which is the only thing you can do after you did the quest entering the Shadowfell.

That is why there is a big ass message warning you not to if you are not finished with things, and there is a travel rune right beside the entrance to the Shadowfell.

I rescued Halsin and told him to wait until me and my party kill the leaders. I killed the leaders and talked to Halsin. After that I talked with him at the grove and he came to my camp. After the party I talked again with him and so on. I did his "companion quest" (reunited Oliver & Thaniel) and now I need to kill Ketheric Thorm for "the land to heal".

I haven't used Halsin a lot, but I did everything possible with his companion quest. Now I decided to take him with me to Nightsong's Prison, just in case he would leave the camp for some reason. At least the "Rescue the Druid Halsin" quest is now completed.

But I need to kill Ketheric Thorm next to lift the curse, and I can't kill him unless I have met Nightsong?

So you actually recruited him in your party and did the Oliver quest with him, that should be fine.

In my first playthrough I met and killed Oliver before recruiting him to the party. Then he bugged out and stuck in a loop of same conversations about needed to clear the shadow curse (maybe it was intended, I dunno, but the questlog was worded in a way that I have not met Oliver). I was forced to leave act 2 without dealing with the curse and he left the party.

Okay, well I hope this was just a bug for the quest not finishing right. I read that several people have had problems with it, but not sure how severe the consequences are.

I don't recall if I completed the Oliver quest with him in the party, but I did and Thaniel is now in my camp with Halsin. However, I sill get the "we left the area without seeing if the druid halsin could help us" as soon as I enter ShadowFell. Anyone know how to actually get Halsin to "help us" with the tadpoles?

[Dudeman]

This exact thing is happening to me and I don't get it.

Thaniel is in my camp. Halsin is there. I'm still getting this message when i go into the Shadowfell section.

[Pellaeon]

The only thing I can think of is that I didn't first explore Moonrise Towers, talk to you know who and who to go explore the Mausoleum, and rescue the Tieflings with Halsin in the party. Other than that I did everything else including the Thaniel quest.
