Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Control Undead

WARNING: SOME SPOILERS AHEAD.

So, My Devotion Paladin broke his Oath, before entering the ruins near the crash site. When the fight with the Entombed Scribes came around, I used Control Undead and took an Entombed Scribe. Then I went to the Grove for the Goblin's first attack. Everything was going well, then Zevlar (spelling?) and Wyll attacked my Oath Breaker and his Skelly. Then the rest of Party started getting attacked. WTF???

Edit:
Zevlar and Wyll turned hostile right after the last Goblin died.

Eek! Do you have a save game from before the fight, and if so is the bug repeatable?

Sounds like it’s worth sending a save with hostile Wyll & Zevlor and a save from before the battle to Larian to see if it can help them fix this. I can only guess that there’s something about the allegiance of the Entombed Scribe that’s setting them off, as it would have been an enemy, then they turn hostile to you as you’re its ally?

I haven’t played around with Control Undead so confess I don’t know how it works. Sounds cool apart from this rather significant problem! Hopefully you can reload and release the skeleton before the grove gate fight as a workaround?

Repeatable: yes every time.

Control Undead is a bit weird. The undead controlled doesn't have it's portrait over with the party's portraits. It will appear up top during combat. But you have no control, which is ironic for a power named "Control" Undead. It's just follows along fighting the OB's enemies until a long rest.

I was pretty happy to find out, that I controlled an undead with the Firebolt cantrip. To get past it, I'm going to have to long rest before triggering the fight. Shame I only got it's help in just that first fight.

There are issues with allied characters who are not party members. Last time I rescued Lae'zel she killed Wyll's imp.

She'll do that at the party too.

Right, I'm going to try this . Wyll's little wretch keeps bouncing up and down on my PC as she sleeps, so she'll be cheering Lae'zel on!

Just wait till you see Shovel at camp while you sleep 😂
May need to comment about that in this thread!
