SPOILERS ACT 2 - crying puzzle full of cats anyone solved it?

[A Old Man]

In act 2 at the Rosymorn Monastery there's a room full of cats that you fight during that fight there is a noise of a crying baby in the middle however I couldn't for the life of me solve it. Does anyone know a solution? There is something there as there's a part in that has collisons.

[SRGE]

Wondering about this too. I heard a baby crying and my partner stopped to consider what that sound was. After clearing the cats and kobolds, I never did find anything like a baby, or npc, etc.

You can shoot where the ccrying is and something does get hit, I think I burned or froze the cats with some ice floor maybe? either way theres a small spot in the middle that got a debuff. Maybe some sorta detect invis spell or something is needed

bumping thread

I can't figure it out, used all the spells in my repertoire to no avail. I can't imagine the cries and companion comment was added there for no reason? Also all cats seem to face the spot where the wailing came from.

Anybody any luck figuring this out?

all i know is that if you use water + fire to create steam you can clearly see an invisible box which you also can't walk through... I hope it wasn't a bug that's causing this thing to not be interact-able

Ive picked up detect invis pots later in the game, if you can grab em before it might show something but im uncertain. Could also just be an asset like a "sound box" thats not 100% player invis (from the steam cloud outline) and will be removed following a fix later.

[A Old Man]

Detect invis won't work I've tried.

Aaah snap, the mystery continues then! On a new playthrough with the wife. We'll have a big ol' look at it when we get there, see the crack.

The cats are gremishka! From the wiki, “Gremishka were also able to mimic the sound of a wounded animal or small child, which could be used to lure adventurers into traps.[1]” so it’s them crying. Also, if you are having trouble with the puzzle, you can just lock pick the gates with your DEX character and get the crest that way. Good luck!

I thought it was the Gremishkal as well that were causing the baby crying sound and just ignored it.

I had to laugh today though on the drinking sounds going on. 3rd time killing those kobolds and I thought the drinking sounds were a bug cause the kobolds were dead. I accidentally hit a wine barrel and broke it open while running around looting and turns out some kobolds are inside the wine barrels,

[A Old Man]

Ah then perhaps the mystery is solved? It's the gremishka making the cry then... I thought there was more since the location where you hear the cry, there is a small invisible cube that has character collisions which is only slightly visible if you put steam in the area.

But.. it could've just been an object the devs didn't bother to remove/disable collisions on...

[Akiba]

Definitely seems to be the Gremishka, also in regards to those kobolds hiding in the barrels, you can pick up those barrels and throw at enemies causing the explosion as well bringing in the added distraction of an explosive kobold which has made fighting the Gith further in pretty hilarious.

FYI the creche is still act 1. Act 2 does not start until the point of no return which is entering the shadowlands.

I guess its just a bug then? Game had me convinced there was a baby cat in there or something that just had greater invisibility since I couldn't see it with see invisibility. If it is supposed to just be those enemies it definitely isn't working properly cuz I killed them all before even entering the room and we'll after the battle the crying happened and a character commented on it, hence my first thought.

That's a bug then, because the lore of those critters is that they can mimic human children to lure their prey.
