Animal Companion Bug

[Ishan451]

So, i am currently doing an Azata Playthrough as a Druid. And while losing my animal companion on Drezen is a major PITA, having to outfit both of them outside of Drezen...

I have now gone to the "Watch your Step" quest and accepted a certain Demons offer for a Talk. This teleported me over next to her, for a nice discussion. After which my Animal Companion was done.

My little Dragon still is around but my Wolf companion is gone. There is also no way to try something like reloading or such into the ensureing fight. I find the current situation very frustrating and it could easily be fixed with a "Call Animal Companion button". Limit its use to once per day or once per hour or so.. and then let me call my animal companions back to me... that way i can summon them into fights and areas where they are gone.

You can try toybox to see if you still have the correct feats. I think it also allows you to "recruit" the animal companion if it's currently not available as party member to fix your situation. But that is only temporary if you lack the feats. Not sure what went wrong.

The thing that "goes wrong" the game turns the animal companion invisible in some areas. I have no idea why. You also don't get control over it. If you scroll the screen far enough you get told your animal companion is standing somewhere.. which you click on the small bubble arrow nothing happens.

When you aren't in combat (or Drezen), you can just quicksave and reload.. and the companion is back. But it is super annoying and most definitely a bug.

But in the case of Regil's Quest... you get teleported to the chat, the animal companion gets gone, and depending on what you say in the chat with the Demon you will go straight into combat. Without your Animal Companion, and you can't just quicksave and reload to get it back.

Giving a summon animal companion button, if the bug itself is to difficult to fix, would be a solution to the issue.

Animal Companion is also missing in the Quest Weary Guardian.

After solving the Puzzle if you fight Lilithu the Druid Animal Companion also doesn't return under the control of the Player

Animal Companion is missing when entering (or rather leaving) the maze in "Till death do us part"

It stays gone in the Citadel. If you want it to join you in Drezen, you have to enter from the Map onto the Streets. Its the only way i have found how my animal companion joins me in Drezen, so i can equip them there. As soon as you enter the Citadel its gone until you exit out onto the Worldmap, then reenter Drezen into the Streets.

Other maps it works to quicksave and load. It is super annoying, however.

im having the experience in the camp TO drezen.... just started Act 2 on current run and Seelah horse is gone.... while I know I can just leave and fix it... there are some times during Act 2 where you dont have that option without triggering a scripted event... like siege of drezen... which I had that happen to me in an earlier save...

I didn't have the AC disappear on me in that camp, but i suspect the AC disappearing was introduced in the last patch. And i had just reached The siege of Drezen when the patch dropped.

yeah... also its not something you would readily notice im sure in Act 2 since you spend very little time in camp itself as you make way to Drezen... it probably happens more than I realize but only notice it when im trying to level or move around gear before heading out...

Currently in Act 4. Since the last patch, my animal companion now goes missing when I enter The Ten Thousand Delights.

ten thousand delights?..... dont think I wanna know where its been....

[Ishan451]

My animal companion has not been missing in the upper level of the Ten Thousand Delights but when i do Camelia's Quest and enter the lower level the Animal companion goes missing. First when entering the area. If i save + reload its back, but each unlocked Door leads to the companion missing again.

Edit: Nevermind. I must not have noticed it. Paying attention to it now, each time i go into the TTD my Animal Companion stays at the door, uncontrollable.

When making Wendug a class with an animal companion and subsequently killing her in Lann's Quest, the Animal Companion remains under your control and still appears in the Nexus, however you cannot remove the gear it has on it or interact with it in any way shape or form.

[Ishan451]

Animal Companion is missing in the Dream Battle of Arueshalae's Companion quest in Act 5. When she tells you to solve the riddle of the table. I do have Aivu with me, but my actual Animal Companion is missing.

Also during Regil's Duel during the Hellknight Trail i will get control of Aivu (but she can't get into the circle, but still buff and cast spells). And while i feel like my Animal Companion is part of the Power of my Class, after all the Class is balanced around having the Animal Companion, it didn't bother me to much that my AC was gone for the Duel... and it was actually Aivu that should have been gone too, as at this point she has enough reach that i could stand close enough to the edge and have her fight for my Character.
