Paladin's War-owl

[Swann]

Anyone know when/how to use it?

[MACIORELLA]

Whenever you will kill this 2 guys in the docks I guess, to be honest I did not use it.... You will return after exploring to the palladin camp (u will get info in log journal when to inform them), and then there will be surprise waiting.

Dunno why but my owl: didnt summon her she just appeared suddenly while fighting those voidwoken and the magisters at the gallow is damn bugged. i even moved her with teleportation into those shriekers and even those fellows can´t kill her ...
if i use the whistle nothing will happen and neither i can talk to the damn owl
anyone an idea?

I have the same issue right now. It just appeared in the middle of the fight and then it started to aggro on me, cuz my npc ally casted something that blew up the oil, on which the owl was standing. And now, I am unable to finish the damn fight cuz the owl is invincible. I've already killed every enemy, but this damn owl ruins everything. I wish Larian would release a hotfix that allows to kill it. I sooo don't want to start this fight from the scratch...

no clue man

The only "solution" that I've found so far is to flee from the combat, then go directly to Hannag to "complete" the quest. But the thing is that if you return to the Blackpits, Hannag's apprentice still fights the owl. This is kind of stupid situation)

I think that owl isn't the paladin one. I think its the one Malady sends asking you to return to the Vengance right away.

The paladin one is just a special effect visual when you use the owl at the right time. Not an actual critter. For me the whistle was usable after I fully explored the black pits area and found out everything the magisters were up to. That included the white magisters in the cave, and the pair about to execute the Black Ring prisoners. (had to read some materials in those locations as well)

I used it when
I killed those two high ranking magisters in the black pits. An owl will get the message and bring it to the paladins.

Hm, maybe you are right. I tried to use the whisle, but it does not work for me too. But how to solve the issue with the owl that is now doomed to fight the Hannag's apprentice for an eternity, so there's no way to speak to him? :D

I was wondering the same, seemed I needed a letter in the docks.

About the Hannag's apprentice, can't you teleport the owl out of combat? Maybe you can use multiple people (scrolls) to get the owl far away?

Nah, unfortunately, It keeps returning to the gallows( The only thing that I'm concerned about in this case, will it break the quest with the Paladin's Owl entirely and will it affect the game overall? Right now my lvl is too low to fight those two white magisters in the Blackpit's docks, so I can't check the theory that the owl will dissappear if I manage to kill them and use the whistle.

Update: I managed to kill the magister and silent watchers ( the other magister fleed the battle on the ship ) and used the whistle. The war owl sent my letter and then I've returned to the Gallows. Gwydian Rince is dead and the owl walks near his body. I got no idea on how it will affect the questline, since I've already completed the quest by speaking with Hannag, before Gwydian died. I guess there's no way to revert the result of that bug :\

Update 2: I talked to the owl and it appears to be the spirit of Jonathan, which betrayed Gareth (?????). None of the party members can speak to the owl, excluding the main character. I still am no sure if this is a very strange bug or an even more strange part of the story (???). I mean....and owl? An invincible owl? This is really weird and looks more like a bug than a part of the storyline, imo. %)

I was stuck here and found a possible work around. I teleported the owl into the tent nearby and then blocked the tent with a nearby box. Then I teleported Gwydian to the opposite direction of the owl. After two turns Gwydian spoke to me and I was able to continue the quest. The owl was walking around the gallows after the conversation and will not speak to me though.

That thing is worth trying) Sadly, I've already skipped this whole mess and moved on.

alright so i just finished this fight. i tried my very best not to use ANY sort of fire during the whole fight until i got the owl out of there. I had to teleport the owl as far away as i possibly could to the very edge of the range.

After that it seemed to stay out of the oil and such and just sat around on the outliers of battle. if i thought it was getting to close to the fire i would teleport it to the edge again after the fight was over i was able to talk to it. hopefully this helps you out.

You have to delve deeper into this location. There is a house near the water, where you can find a bunch of silenced monks and two white magisters torturing Black Ring followers. After interruption of their rite and finishing the fight you can use the whistle to summon the war owl.
