[bug] Eder and Bearn

[NixBoxDone]

The quest to rescue Bearn from the cultist vanguard is bugged. I intercepted the ship enroute to Magran's whatchamacallits, killed the above-board crew and then talked Bearn into not using the poison on himself as the others had.

I then deposited him back on his home island, spiritually shaken but alive.

Hours later Eder talked to me, saying that we were too late to actually intercept the ship and that we'd need to hurry to catch up with them. Lo and behold, the ship I had sunk once already was indeed moored off the island. Visiting the location showed the crew and Bearn dead, poisoned by their own hand to join Eothas soulstuff snackball.

Something obviously went terribly wrong here. Haven't visited the island yet to see if Bearn spontaneously teleported onto the pile of corpses on the ship or if his less deadish twin is still alive and well, but I will.

Wait, you can SAVE him? Do you have to rush to the boat or something? I went exploring for a few hours, then came back and did it.

Well, ♥♥♥♥, I feel bad now.

Yes. It is race against time. You have to get to the ship before before it stops and they ingest the poison. Then, you have to pass skill checks in the conversation to be able to save him.

And where exactly is the ship? Because I scoured the map and I didn't find any ship at all.

It eventually appears on the map near Magran's Teeth. Specifically, exactly in the game world near the word Teeth

You have to catch it while moving there, or wait there and intercept it before it comes to a stop (it will approach from the left). If it is not moving, then you are too late.

The ship actually is on the map and moves, but if you don't have a pretty big swathe already explored it will be hidden beneath the fog of war.

Your best bet is to explore most of the area between Magran's Teeth and Neketaka so you can actually see where it is going.

No worries - it's a beautiful game and it deserves some TLC. ^^

I just had this bug in my game, too. I had finished the quest long ago, and saved Bearn. I knew it worked, because when I talked to Eder about his son, he would say he was glad we saved him. And that he hoped Bearn would have a chance to find meaning in his life.

Everything was fine...until I beat Nemnok. Then I noticed Eder wasnt saying that about Bearn anymore, and on the map near Neketaka, the ship REAPPEARED. It wasnt there before! And if I try to go back on the ship, Bearn is dead when I board.

This is so sad. I wanted Bearn to be alive in the ending, I worked hard for that. And I'm practically near the end of my game now...so I guess I have to give up beating Nemnok, if I want to keep Bearn alive?

Very sad bug :c I'm not undoing Nemnok, that was one of the hardest battles in the game.

probably bugged, i had awkward bug with pallegina quest. Did it once and after some time, having returned to Dunnage i see that npc near door and pallegina tells him that she knows giocolo is here ( even though we've rescued him before ). I could even enter and negotiate again, though after that there is no scene with giocolo. There are quite a few bugs yet even in beta patch, even daily wages bug, which they claimed they removed.

so i have some good news...

if you save Bearn the first time, you can ignore the ship when it reappears, and your ending will come out just fine.

I got my ending today, and I just made sure never to enter the ship when it reappeared on my save.

That's no excuse. It should not happen in first place.
