I can't kill the hunter {SPOILER}

[Sales]

I chose to stay next to the hunter, so far so good, following the missions I arrived at a part to get the last artifact and also get the hunter's artifact. As soon as I get the artifact from the hunter, he says he's going to start following me to my ship.

As soon as I leave the cave the Hunter turns into an enemy and starts attacking me, after many shots he falls to the ground and stays crouched but doesn't die, regardless of the number of shots I fire. If I fast travel anywhere he's in my ship and comes back with full health and tries to attack me again, then I'm stuck with having to take all his life away until he crouches and stays there.

Has anyone gone through this?

sounds like you need to talk to him, that is what happens when they end the fight with conversation

[Tolfdir]

Strange. He remained friendly all the way in my playthrough. Maybe try to reload from earlier and see?

[frug]

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? Ive got the same thing

[Driverben]

One thing with Bethesda games is some NPCs are "essential" meaning they can't be killed. They're labelled as essential if there's a quest tied to them, so that's why you can't kill him. As for him attacking, I can't comment as I didn't take this path on my play through.

[HypeH^]

I have this same bug and its driving me insane. i effectively cannot play the game anymore as i cannot fast travel or do anything and he is in my ship. if i go near him, he attacks me.... i cannot kill him and cannot talk to him....

[Ellorien]

That’s bizarre. I also sided with the Hunter. I talked to him (he gave me his artifacts) before leaving the Temple and he remained friendly.

[F@E]

Found a workaround for this issue. Go to the Unity, do your conversation, then leave and go about your business. He never showed up again on my ship.

Bizzare he gave me a gift last night because he's "never before been bested in combat"

opened up a new dialogue on how he was able to keep returning after death etc etc

I also just hit this game breaking bug. I was able to get around it by making sure the Hunter was in a room out of view of the cockpit, downing him, then crouching by the cockpit until I was hidden, then it lets you grav jump.

You can't "kill" any Starborn. You can "best" them, but that is it. One reason you never get to loot them. Sounds like what you have is a bug.

The whole Starborn and the main quest is so dumb. There are at least two Faction quests which are far better.

[Martin]

It's a fairly well known bug. Talk to him before you leave the cave. After he says he'll follow you. Personally I side against both of them. So I dodge this bug entirely. Then I convince them to both give up their artifacts without fighting.

I love the game, but the Starborn are the most evil 'faction' BSG has ever created...

So, I seemed to have this bug. I sided with the emissary. Fought the hunter in the end. He was on his hands and needs with a blue quest dot, and wasn't doing anything. I hit him with my sword a bunch, moving him around a bit, and it finally concluded.
