Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Missing Dog!

In the (lower city?) Act 3 Campsite, Scratch has gone missing. I've checked everywhere. Withers swears he did not leave the back gate open, either... though Astarion is looking a little suspicious.

But seriously, Scratch is AWOL in Act 3 that one camp. When I travel to Wyrm's Lookout camp, where Scratch got his own "pup tent" (get it? Pup? Tent?) he was still there. He's also there in the barnyard camp, hanging out passed Withers. I seem to only misplace him (so far) in that specific camp (where Karlach would be in her dead-end cubbie near Volo).

Is anyone else missing their best boy?

Never happened to me, but can't tell if it's something patch 4 related.

Anyway if you are talking about the dock camp, that camp is huge and have a lot of missing spots, maybe he is just hide somewhere

Be less greedy and rent the tavern, lol. It's just 200 gold to have it forever XD. He should be easy to spot there and your legs will appreciate it too when you don't have to walk miles to talk to your companions after a day of combat

Thanks for the tip about the room rental. I honestly didn't even know about that

I do not think it's Patch 4 related, because I can load a save from a previous play through at the same camp, and Scratch is there (with the Owlbear Cub). I'll try the room rental and see if my good ol boy comes home. Thanks!

FYI, I was "less greedy" and rented the room as you suggested, and the moment I stepped through the door of my fancy new home:



He's back!

Thank you, kharneth, for the tip and solution! fwiw, it wasn't greed, it was ignorance

I'm guessing that since Scratch's behavior seems to have changed in Act 3, and he now just stands in his little tent, that perhaps the location of that tent is just out-of-bounds from where I can see as a player. Problem solved, via work-around
