Triggers that end 'Hellion's Heart' Side Quest?

[plutto]

I started the side quest to fix Karlach's heart, found Dammon in Act 1 in the Grove; gave him infernal iron, and then was told to meet him at Baldur's Gate. I killed all 3 Goblin Leaders (Priestess Gut, Minthara and Dror), so Dammon isn't dead on the way to Baldur's Gate. I went through the well to get to Underdark, found myself on the boat to Grymforge; killed Nere found his broken Moonlatern, and then went to the elevator to start Act 2. After prgressing to Act 2, my Hellion's Heart side quest is completed with "Dammon can no longer repair Karlach's Heart". Have I missed something in Act 1?

I'm fairly certain you were meant to find some more inferal iron along the way.

Either that or Dammon died at Last Light Inn for some reason, which IIRC is a known bug, but not one I've ever seen.

I did find one more internal iron, behind Dror's throne; was I meant to find more? I thought I only needed 2 in total for her quest?

[Kernest]

One is enough for the quest, but you can have another use for quite a few more pieces.

Could be the bug then. Keep a save from earlier of course, but play a little further along and get to the Last Light Inn.

Dammon should be there in the stable, if he's dead, it's the bug, if he's not there, it's some other issue.

You did complete the "Protect the Grove" quest before advancing, right? Like properly complete it, it's crossed off your quest log and you had the party afterwards?

Ah, protect the grove quest is where I probably mucked up. Protecting the grove means killing Khaga as well, I'm guessing. I don't remember having a party. For protecting the grove I got something along the lines of "We couldn't call of the ritual. The Tieflings are likely to die on the road." I read somewhere that killing all Goblin Camp leaders will be enough for Dammon and his group to progress forward to Baldur's Gate. Any advice on how to stop the ritual? Khaga was incredibly stubborn.

[Kernest]

You can steal the idol, not great idea, or read some stuff and find her chest to find a "Investigate Kagha" quest.

Or just free Halsin fast enough before they complete the ritual

Thank you! Would investigating Khaga trigger a battle? I heard somewhere a player fought in the grove and Dammon got in the crossfire.

Yes, but the only one in the Grove is going to be inside the cave in the Grove where Kagha normally is, and Dammon isn't.
