Saving Gawin

[Ignisterra]

Is it possible to save him ? I know he is a scum and he deserves to die but still. I want to see if he can escape fort joy alive. I know that he can't survive alone because he can die at different moments against some groups of enemies.

To be honest I didn't even knew he died if you helped him escape. If he gets killed by groups of enemies I would assume you can just not help him escape until you clear all enemies in act 1 and then just complete his quest afterwards.

Clearing out the enemies in the fort is pretty hard and there's quite a few at the docks where Gawin goes. I've teleported myself to see if he survives and he obviously doesn't.

There's a possibility you can save him but there's really not much point in it unless you're serious about roleplaying and there's a good chance of corruption occuring since his death is probably scripted as well.

I've already cleared the fort and the prison so he shouldn't die there. I was fighting with him at the dock. Btw he loves attacking silent monks whom are not even part of the fight.

He can go through the first group of skeletons (alone) but I couldn't kill the 2nd group of skeletons with (the voidvoken demon) in the Hollow Marshes while protecting him. So I had to let him die in front of me :(

Again, you could just use a different escape route, finish off all enemies in act 1, then help him escape through teleportation. There should be nothing left to kill him (unless he walks into mines or hazards, which you could also clear).

ill be real honest...i kill him for his robe anyways

[Råb!d]

It doesn't matter if he lives or dies. The dialog will change, and maybe something in a later act, but otherwise you can finish the first act. That's what I was told by our moderator.

I tried. It's impossible. If you fully clear the docks, and clear the swamp too, he still dies. I followed him as he ran past the dead magisters at the docks, into the free-of-enemies swamp and he just falls over and dies at a scripted point.

Pretty lame.

Thx <3

did you try the teleportation route ? it doesnt make sense for dialog to actually change if there is no way for him to live.

You mean teleport him down to the beach? I guess he would live and just wander around down there, idk. I think the quest fails if you do that.

[CloudAran]

A friend and I teleported him across, then passed the gloves between us to follow him; then we won the fight with the magisters on the beach and he sped off into the swamp while we got caught in a scripted fight. We haven't found a body yet though, so we're wondering if he escaped somewhere.

Has anyone else gotten him past the docks to know for sure where his next stop is?

[Ignisterra]

I did get past the dock but I couldn't save him from the fight in the swamp

[Reaper]

I teleported him down to the beach, didn't even know.. does someone know where he ends up after that? Need some stuff he has before I leave him be, even though I already stole his robe

[Stabbey]

In Early Access I cleared the docks and the swamp specifically to test how far he could get, and he got about as far as the big ambush near the special statue before vanishing or dying..

[Jhy]

Stabbey it's the same in the current build; if you have clear the port, the way & the ambush, he still die at ambush. even if you follow him & with no enemie
