Randomly lost a companion
So i had Warden Une along with Indrix, Ape God and two other followers (beguiled astral hunters) meaning i usually roll around with a crew and have to keep an eye out if everyone's there.

Now all of a sudden i see Une is not present. So i look up the message log and retrace all the places i've visited but no sign of the dude anywhere.

No messages about him getting hurt and even if something did hit him he is far too armored and leveled up to be killed in the low level places i've been to.
Didnt even use vortices or anything like that and that would produce a message about him being sucked in so that is out as well.

Any ideas?
How the hell can i get my bro back, any wish commands or something?

Was there a possibility of your companion getting stuck somehow (e.g. walled in due to stepping on a plant wall trap)(seems to not get them stuck) or falling down a shaft in Golgotha or accidentally told them to stay somewhere?

I didn't tell him to stay for sure, im sure he didnt fell, only thing that comes to mind is - i used a rebuild wish to rebuild a village that previously got wrecked in an esper hunter ambush, now that i think about it that might be it.

What the hell do i do now lol

You could go back to that village and see if you find them there. Maybe they got walled in from the wish. I am not sure what happens when you rebuild and they are on a spot with a wall itself.

No luck.
Wish commands are a no-go as far as i see as well.

Well that fckin sucks...

AFAIK companions can't get permanently walled in or stuck. Playing as an esper with clairvoyant and teleport, a lot of the time my companions wind up 'stuck' in some crevasse or behind some wall that I teleported past, but then I move to the next tile and they all magically just spawn in at the edge with me. If he's not there when you load a new tile, he's dead. Maybe he bumbled into a decarbonizer while you were distracted in combat or something.

Thats the thing, i was finishing up some village quests and the areas i was in had nothing better then goatfolk.

My Une is like level 35 all flawless crysteel and loaded up on cybernetics to the brim.

No way he died.
And it if he did it would leave a message in the log.

The last message i get about him is that his anchor clicked in a jungle tile somewhere and thats it.

A dozen screens and recoils later i realize he's gone :(

Space-Time Vortex maybe?

Nah, only use them to escape, its not even on my quickbar.

And it leaves a popup message when your follower gets sucked in.

I definitely had followers getting stuck in the past in the past, but firing up the game and putting a portable wall around a follower does not seem to cause it. Not sure how it works exactly then, but I definitely had it happen multiple times and had to get back to get my follower. Maybe it was the same issue OP had then, but I was able to get them back when I noticed it happening.

Maybe it was that weird "incommunicado" effect (which I don't understand). I definitely did not have any pop up either and dying, space-time vortex and even falling down a shaft all give popups. They just did nit join me on the next screen, I went back and found them in some tunnel or small room, opened it up and they followed me normally. It was probably a more complex issue and I just did not notice until now. Thank you

Edit: It seems they can get stuck "temporarily" e.g. when frozen solid, but will try to rejoin once they thaw. Maybe that stuff fails to work if the zone they are in somehow got frozen too. Just going back to the screen it happened should fix it.. if you remember where those jungle parts were.

@OP: You could with for another warden Une and the credits and gear, but there is no basic "get current follower back" wish.

Ahah was just teasing.. but yeah I understand the frustration.. I wonder if they got sent to an " alternate ' reality?

yeah, that happens
it's one of the big flaws with the game I would like to see addressed in the future, the companion if lost without being told to stay, will make his way back to a particular location by default, or to the player after maybe a number of days

its way too easy to lose a companion you leveled and worked on to a rift
