A BG3 player disappointingly failed their Honour Mode run thanks to Scratch deciding to go fetch at the worst possible moment.

    I usually leave Scratch safe at camp. I am a Wizard, and I conjure elementals for the dangerous adventuring I do.

      Right? He and the owlbear cub stay safely at camp, and I come back splattered with the blood and whatever bits I hacked off of the enemies I fought.

      He doesn’t need to see what I’ve seen.

          Yes, you need to not kill the cub in the cave and then talk to the cub at the goblin camp. The cub will approach you at your camp a few days after you’ve killed the goblin leaders.

            I tried taking to it, but the goblin speaks instead and had me race the cub. When I talked to the cub during the race I could only convince them to attack the goblins, not talk him into losing the race (like I saw a steamer do)

            So the cub died and that made me sad. Tried again, same result.

              Weird. When i talk to the cub it always gives me an option after saying a few lines that he can go to my camp. He doesnt have to race. You can talk to him after refusing to race. You just talk to the gobbo first and then the cub afterwards.

                Aha. I didn’t try to not race the cub. The playthrough I saw, he raced it and managed to save it, so I thought I should do it that way.

                Next playthrough though, I’ll have owl cub for sure

                  Glad I could help. You’ll absolutely love the cub for the final fight. Dammon gives him a few gifts.

                  Also here is a tip I just remembered if you want to catch the cub during the chicken chase. Just go into turn based mode and you’ll be able to catch him by dashing once.

              Did you remember to put speak with animals on? Or maybe you have to speak to the cub after the gonlins are dead. I think i did it that way, i don’t remember.
