Jacob Subra missing [Heralds of the tide problem] solution

Those who try to complete all the achievements in our beloved and merciless game will face, or have already faced, the curse of the

"Heralds of the tide"

achievement.
You should take a Husk church cultist on board, but alas, he is nowhere to be found. And he won't show up! After all, it's bugged!
Here I will tell you how to fix it.

SO!

For solution of that problem you need thing what calls a "Barotrauma saves decompressor"[github.com] and another thing... The notepad++
The way of this problem goes from your saved game data, or coop saved game, so you need open your saves through "Saves decompressor." How do that? You can see at this video:

Before solving this problem, make sure that your reputation with the church of husk is not lower than 80. Also you need beat all 8 "waytoascention" tings, or quests:
[spoilers]

• Not started
  
• Talked to the ecclesiast, but not been able to answer the question about the second metamorphosis
  
• Answered the question correctly, asked to deliver husk eggs
  
• Delivered husk eggs, offered to join the church
  
• Joined the church, will get a new task when talking to the ecclesiast again
  
• Tasked to assassinate someone who knows too much about the church
  
• Assassination done, will get a reward and a task to pick up Jacov Subra when talking to the ecclesiast
  
• Tasked to rescue Jacov Subra from an abandoned outpost
  
• Rescued Subra

If after all quest Subra didnt show your self, thats mean what you got a bug (keep at mind what Subra dont apears immediately.)
Try to restart your campaign and make all again, if not help, go to edit save.
You need open your game save with notepad++ and find the line "subraevent_state." If you see "subraevent_state" value="2" that means what Subra is died, if you see "3" - keep playing, he can apears at random stantion or city where there cultists.
number must be not greater or lower than "3" or Subra will never come to you.
IF you see "subraevent_state" value="10" - that means what you dont do all "waytoascention" things, so restart the game you lazy ♥♥♥♥ and play again.


Thats all folks! If it helps you - do not thanks me. All of that is knowlege of guy from reddit.
Thanks you DaBajan

sad what you spent a week on this, but okay, good luck to take the final one!

Weird, DaBajan clearly said "2", and it worked for me !
Anyway, I got the achievement, and that's what really matters

[boxen8]

Oh, thank you! But about subraevent_state: I set at "3" and find him. First I set at "2" and nothing appears, I swear. And how you can see I have that achievement

This guide is partially wrong. However, thanks for providing the "DaBajan" name, I did a research and found that you misunderstood some of the things he said.

The whole guide is right, BUT, the "subraevent_state" value must be LESS than 3, and not 3 as said in the guide.

The "waytoascension" value must be more than 7 (this value represents your progression in the questline, 7 is the part where you free him, and he SHOULD spawn if you didn't kill him).

I set the "subraevent_state" value to "2" and found him almost immediately, setting it to 3 didn't work (I searched for a whole week).
