Minsc Not at Copper Coronet

[Rutskarn]

Playing BG2:EE multiplayer, kicked Minsc out of party to get Valygar for the Planar Sphere quest, sent him to the Copper Coronet. Now that's finished, can't find him either in Copper Coronet (checked entire place, but especially back wall near Anomen) or the cabin we picked up Valygar. Even tried using AOE spells to check that he didn't have some freak invisibility buff.

If it matters, we HAVE completed the quests to free the slaves/destroy the stockade already, so the inn reflects this.

Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?

Updated for posterity:

Ended up using NearInfinity, checking the Baldur.GAM for save file...he had no location (!?). I updated his location to reflect the Copper Coronet, altered his XY coordinates to be between two party members. Seems to have yanked him back from the abyss.

I'm having the same problem in the exact same situation. Kicked Minsc to get Valygar and now he's gone. But i don't know how to use NearInfinity. Can you help me?

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

Actually i kind of learned how to use it. Minsc had no location, i moved him to where i am (same area and coordinates and i can't see him. I have a backup, so whatever i changed won't become a huge problem. Can you explain to me what you did to fix it?

This problem occurs when a character is "dead" after being removed from your party. Though granted it's more likely based on your description an overlooked bug by the devs.

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

Yeah, it's a bug. Minsc is not dead, i can see his inventory and all information using NearInfinity and he has no location. Do you know how to fix it? using NearInfinity, like he said he did. I tried setting his location to the same area as i am but i cannot see him nearby.

You can't find Minsc. Small loss. He is nearly useless as a fighter. In about half the fights my group gets in we end up fighting Minsc before the fight is over. He is nearly a brain dead fighter, and any mage casting a mind altering spell at the imbecile is nearly guaranteed success.

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

But my friend likes him, and he had a lot of stuff in his inventory

[Rutskarn]

Don't worry, you can get him back! He was completely gone in my case as well and I managed to recover him. I'll go look up the threads I found which helped me out.

[Rutskarn]

Oh, I think I see the problem. So setting him to the EXACT same location is weird, and I don't think the game likes it--it's actually kind of fussy about where you need to set it to. So here's what I did:

I placed two members of my party (say, Imoen and Jaheira) side-by-side, exactly as "high" up the map but to the left and right. When I set Minsc's coordinates in NearInfinity, I set the Y to the same value and the X to the average of Imoen and Jaheira's values. Hey presto, there he was!

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

Oh i'll try it tomorrow thanks. But and the Port View Coordinates? Or we don't need that?

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

Ok... For some reason now Minsc is really in the same area as the rest of the party. But he can't join the party since i can't talk to him. Is there a form to just force him to join the party? This is so annoing i'm considering transporting the itens to another character and move on without Minsc

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

Actually, i gave up on Minsc. You may call me dumb but i liked the way it was with Minsc, so i edited Valygar to be the same as Minsc was, same atributes, proficiencies and level LMAO.

Thanks everyone for trying to help

[voehringer_nitron]

You involved Valygar in filthy magic, that means there will be hell to pay!

[Miolo_de_Pão22]

LMFAO

This happened to me as well. He typically is at Copper Coronet standing against the wall roughly between where Anomen and Tiana stand. But I didn't see him. I had Keldorn with me, so I had him cast True Seeing, and there Minsc was.
