Jaheira is still broken

[woodnymph9]

I was hoping they would fix Jaheira and patch notes said they did, but she's worse now. Before she just wouldn't follow, but now, you have to manually attack to get her to join the battle and when you use mass healing word she won't heal. It says must be an ally. She just stands there like she's not in combat. I have the most epic spore druid build for her, but it's literally useless.

Not had any issues with her. She comes to my camp and is ready to join me whenever I ask her. Not sure why you are having issues. For me, she has not needed to be fixed.

Do you use mods? I don't.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

You're right, I can't romance her.

[woodnymph9]

I don't use mods yet. Maybe it's just me then.

[Mike Garrison]

Jaheira is old and used to doing things her way, rather than following people around.

Did that years ago and it was more trouble than it was worth.

[WhyOfCourseNot]

No I'm having the same problem too. Was waiting for patch 7 to fix it but they didn't.

[Steffan]

The new patch fixed the problem for me, though (I checked). No idea why it did not work in your case.

[WhyOfCourseNot]

I'll try mess around with saves first I just jumped in and checked lol

[Nomicoe]

Still an issue for others as well who dont use mods, oddly enough I had her work fine when I did finally use a mod. LMAO

Has anyone found a fix for this? I just entered Act 3 and noticed that she can't use certain spells, like Guidance for example, because it says "the target must be an ally". Like a mod, or console command, or anything?

Finally, I found a fix for this. You'll need someone in the team (Person A) that can cast "Polymorph", and another team member (person B, must not be the Main Character) that can cast "Dominate Beast". You need A, B and Jaheira in your team outside the camp.
1. Ask Jaheira to leave the team and then immediately start Turn-based mode.
2. A cast Polymorph on Jaheira, and then B cast Dominate Beast on the sheep Jaheira. You now got a Dominated sheep Jaheira.
3. Ask B to leave the team (this will end Turn-based mode). And then immediately run away from B so that B can back to camp before Polymorph ends.
4. Go back to camp (as soon as B disappeared from map), and ask B to join the team, you'll see Jaheira becomes a Attached Followers of B. Leave the camp.
5. Save, Back to main menu and load the game again. The Follower Jaheira should be able to cast spells now.
6. Ask Jaheira to join the team and then leave the team.
7. Go back to camp and ask Jaheira to join again. Now Jaheira should be acting as ally.

This finally worked for me, though it sligthly borked Jaheira's hotbar (it shows all spells, even unprepared now)
Still, thank you!

Still bugged!

[belgix]

I got the issue of Jaheira not following me in Revington near the first portal. I dismissed her. Cast Dominate Person on her (beware - she need to fail the saving throw). I went back to the camp and she was not there. I returned to the Revington, she was still near the portal. I asked her to join the party and by some magic ... problem solved.

Didn't get any issue after that. Only side effect, she started to wander like Scratch in the camp not staying near her bed.

[nguren]

I've got this issue too. Jaheira is not an ally. It says so when she tries to cast certain spells, or have them cast on her. She doesn't enter combat when the rest of the party does. I have to attack with her for her to enter initiative. And if she attacks and misses, still doesn't enter combat. If she attacks and one shots the enemy she hits, she also doesn't enter initiative. She can wander right through restricted areas and nobody stops her.

No mods, and a recent playthrough.
