[Quest] Rescue the druid Halsin can't be "finished" bug

[Shirolicious]

The quest can't be finished after you celebrated with Zevlor and the thieflings in your camp and you wake up the next morning to discuss the plans etc. Zevlor is gone, where the main objective still says "Talk to Zevlor". Also talking to Halsin doesn't do anything. The text does say "and discuss a plan in the morning" but talking to him doesn't do anything of interest to complete the quest.

Its really REAALLY frustrating when quests can't be completed because of bugs. I understand there are bugs and stuff but god do I hate it when it makes quest not complete or bug out.

Please I hope you guys are aware and can look into that. I've seen plenty of results searching for "Rescue the druid Halsin" + Bug

Talk to both of them during the celebration. Then in the morning you should be able to talk to Halsim, if not then that is defo a bug.
However you can find Zevlor still in the druid camp they are getting ready to leave, you can talk with him there.

Hello thanks for helping out. I can assure you that the thieflings are not in the druid camp anymore. I searched every inch of that place, they are well gone.

I also did manage to talk to both Zevlor and Halsin during the camp party and after sleeping and then the next morning talking to Halsin didnt update the quest.

From what I seen many people have this bug, its even as old as 2021 here on steam. quite amazing that they didn't fix something for so long.

Its a known bug. Requires precise order of talking to them, otherwise quest hangs and cant be finished. If you didnt went to far in the story few reloads solve it, otherwise you will find yourself many hours down the line with unfinished quest...

It just means they were unable to correctly categorize the decision trees.
There are many places and dialogues in the game...where you get a completely wrong fork's dialogue :D

What is that precise sequence not to encounter the bug? I'm considering restarting the game from scratch to make sure, but idk what can ensure quest completion. Mby not finishing the druid problem quest without Halsin?

I don't know if they patched anything but now it's stuck at "Celebrate at camp." the next step. Even though I already did... Now I just have a strange tag-along with my camp that doesn't say anything.

i literally have the same bugg. It tells me to meet him at the druid camp and talk to him but he is already at my camp and just stands there...

I got mine to complete!

I just entered Act 2 with the same problem, Rescue Druid - Speak to Zevlor not closing. This is obviously post party and already having spoken to everyone and Halsin in camp.

I went back to the grove and spoke to Rath, then immediately jumped to camp and spoke to Halsin (who all of sudden had more to say) and that fixed it for me.

Hope it works for someone else :)

Awe... that is nice.

I noticed after 10 or 15 hours that the "enjoy the celebration" part of the quest didn't updated even though I saved Halsin. I continued my journey in the hopes that the quest would update to a further part of it when I progress enough (I'm not reading guides or anything), but sadly after another 50 hours the quest updated to 'completed' with something like "we abandoned the place without checking if druid Halsin could heal us."

So after deciding to read about the bug I found this thread and read that I had to speak to Zevlor, so after loading a save from that part of my journey (just for curiosity about what would happen in that quest) I noticed that actually Zevlor was the only casualty we had on the battle of the grove

So that's another way to have that quest bugged, I guess...
