Picked distraction option, but didnt lose Yrsa

[Punished Jeremy]

Everywhere I look it says you lose Yrsa if you pick either option that sets the forest on fire, yet I picked the distraction option and that scene didnt happen
I won the battle too

Hmmm... Maybe a lucky bug?

[Punished Jeremy]

Yeah sure, but I heard she resurfaces in 2. (On second run right now) and I wanted to try and get that

Love Yrsa

[Iuliana]

She didn't die in my latest run either - I was trying to play the worst branch possible :)
Maybe it's a sneaky patch to preserve continuity? The character is quite popular, so we can't have her dying on us.

That, or the latest patch (Balance Update) broke the event Gonna ask our Senior Modder, Giopeppe, to take a look.

Mmm. I seem to remember that you will lose her:

A) In Ridgehorn, if you let Ludin (and Bersi and Yrsa) go alone. In that case, Ludin and Bersi will die, while Yrsa will come back in Saga 2 (and it's a bit odd).

B) If you let her burn the woods and go away (there are two "fire" options if I remember correctly), in which case she get lost and you have to literally pull away the Prince, that will be hit so hard it will not try to go away alone, in Ridgehorn. Yrsa will eventually come back in Saga2, with a huge scar. (This if fine).


If you go for B, experience the dramatic Ludin reaction but she is clearly in rooster, it's a bug. If there is no way to have Ludin react to lost Yrsa in the burning woods, it probably a bug.


Sorry , but couldn't check by myself, I don't have access to the game in this period :/

Im going to just reload it and try again
But like I was skipping through dialogue pretty fast because I knew how it went down, but then the scene didnt come up and we just skip to ridgehorn and I see the playermodel walking along

According to Drake's guide, here' the options there:

"Fight your way out as usual" = danger-1 & War
"Wait and see if they disperse" = danger+1 & day+1 & return to same options
"Create a forest fire as a distraction" = danger-4 & War
"Draw them into the woods and set them on fire" = varl-35 & fighters-8 & yrsadied & no combat
"Lure them into the woods without the fire" = varl-20 & yrsadied & no combat
"Lure them into the woods" = danger+1 & varl-10 & War

So, if you create a fire only as a distraction, Yrsa doesn't "die".

Yeah I have no idea
