Helping heal the bandit sister

[Kerry]

Hey, I am in chapter 1, fought the sister and brother and followed them to their camp and found the sister and the note. I killed a bear and have the plant in my inventory but am just told to go away by the brother and sister. Am I missing something or have I glitched the job somehow?

[Zuvio]

You read the note about the ingredients and you have a bears heart and a sludgelotus in your inventory?
Then you should have a dialogue option with the guy to give the stuff to them.

You made the same mistake that I did when you fought them. Apparently you can only heal the sister if you don't antagonise them and pay the 50 coins on your way to the pit.

From Jaspurr's guide:
[Missable Part] On the way to the Pit with Mottek, make sure not to antagonize the bandits. Make sure they let you pass peacefully. (This is the missable part. If you fight/kill them, you won’t be able to help them later).

[Non-missable part]:Investigate the area to the right to find some footprints. Follow them to the bandit's camp to find the sick sister. Loot the area to find a letter with a recipe using a bear heart. Go back and talk to the bandits and convince them you have a bear heart that can help their sister. Once they make the recipe, you’ll get the achievement. If you go talk to the Pit guard afterwards, he’ll give you a bit of gold for getting rid of the bandit problem.

So if you fight them either time you lose the dialog to help? I fought them on the return trip. Oops. Thank you for the help though!

You can still help them out if you fight them.

OK, how? There are no dialog options besides end conversation.

I'd like to know if this is true as well. I have the "Note from the Bandits' Camp," 7 bear hearts, and 15 sludgelotus in my inventory. There's no dialogue option to help them.

I fought them and was still able to help her, so that's not it. Maybe it has to do with what you say to them after they return to camp?

So, I was curious so I just loaded a previous save and went to the road bandits Aleka and Adalgis.

Short version: TALK TO THE SICK SISTER IN THE TENT FIRST

Long version: I never met them before. They asked for 50g toll. I beat them up right away. They left to their tent. I sneaked into the tent and read the letter about the ingredients. I had a bear heart and a sludgelotus on me. I talked to Adalgis but there was no option to give him the ingredients.

Then I went back into the tent and 'talked' to Geli, the sick sister. After noticing she was sick, I went back to Adalgis. Then I had the option to ask about the sick sister. He talked about the druids cure. Then I could give him the ingredients.

You have to 1) Talk with the sister in the tent and 2) read the ingredients.

Paying or you dont pay doesnt matter. This part is about Mottek. You dont pay ( share 50 gold ), he gets upset and you MIGHT lose out in Prospect 1. You pay, you get the skill. If you beat them up, you get free gold from the guard ( +80 iirc )

Back to bandit, its compulsory to beat them up. It will trigger them to go back to the tent.

You then have to talk with the sister and read the ingredients.

Reading the ingredients prompt up of the NPC "Oh you have the ingredients? Lets make it now" dialogue.

Talk with the sister in the tent will prompt up the " Oh is that your sister in the tent " dialogue.

The only possible issue I can see is that I picked up the note and asked if it was their sister in the tent before I had the ingredients, while you guys already had them. Looking at the note in my journal does nothing.

IIRC, when asking about their sister Aleka told Adalgis to shut up and said it was a family matter.

Now all I get is...
Adalgis: Hey, we're done. What else do you want?
Me (only option): I've got to go. (end conversation)
Adalgis: All right. We're not messing around anymore.

Aleka just says: Piss off.

Hmmm, that dialogue does not sound familiar to me. Maybe you did end up in a situation where you no longer can complete it. If so, would be silly. Because you have a sick person, remedy and the ingredients. So it should be resolvable. Bug or unforeseen sequence of events. I would F2 report it if I were you.

If you do not pay 50g to Mottek when the bandits ask for 100g, you can pay Mottek later in the mines the 50g and he will teach a prospect level anyway.

Same situation and conditions as you. The only thing I can see that might be different is I know I had the ingredients and shut down for the night a few days ago, saw there was an update in the morning and updated. Now I don't have any other dialog options. I can't say if I had the dialog options before the update.

I beat the piss out of them, and then followed them and talked to them. found the notes in the bag next to their sister and confronted them about it. if you find the items they need. AKA the bear heart and Sludge Lotus, return to them and they will make the cure themselves and give you a reward.
