So here is what happened in my honor mode run-through.

Saved the grove after freeing Halsin. I had knocked out Minthara so she would be available in Moonrise. Saved Minthara and she is in my camp. Halsin was there till I told him about Art. I met Halsin in the Last Light Inn. After I got the Lute I played it and then Halsin said he would meet my by the lake. Met Halsin at the lake. I took the role of guarding the portal. Killed all the waves and protected the portal. After the fight Halsin comes up to me and tells me that there is still work to be done and that I needed to meet him in the camp. (there is an empty tent I am assuming that his). I long rested and he was not there after. (All I have left to do in Act 2 is the Shar temple = Shadowfell). I could not find him until I looked at the waypoint and it was on the beach. Found his corpse on the beach and the waypoint is still there and the quest log still says I have to talk to him in camp. I feel like he got killed by the Shadow Curse but I don't know what killed him to be sure.

This is somewhat quest-breaking since I will not be able to complete this questline and I am assuming if I leave act 2 that it will just remain unfinished. It is a shame that my Tav did all that work to end up unable to
save the shadow lands.
Let me know if anyone wants more detail.

One other item of note I get aggro from "Cerys" at the Last Light Inn no mater where I am fighting.

Here is some photo evidence.

Congrats! You're the third person this week with a mysteriously disappearing or dying Halsin in Act 2, and about the fifth for the any NPC category!

All jokes aside, there's something majorly fishy afoot. There seems to be a 50/50 shot if an NPC will die or just disappear (or maybe they always die, but the game only realises they're dead in half the cases).

For my run, the first thing I did was trigger the Isobel fight. All possible NPCs survived (luckily), Halsin's quest went smoothly (I'm wowed), just for him to disappear after recruitment. I should theoretically be able to resurrect him at Whither's, but he doesn't seem to be dead. Bex is also gone. Maybe others I didn't notice, but those two for sure. Her husband doesn't act like she's dead. I do not even have Minthara. Something's got way worse in the Shadowlands during Patch 6... please debuff them, Larian!

Yes, Halsin can get buggy if you have both him and Minthara. He can disappear or get stuck at various points.

Since it's on honor mode you probably can't do anything to fix it.

If you want to be sure to get Halsin as a companion and lift the Shadowcurse I wouldn't do the knockout and recruit Minthara in honor mode.

I had several PT's with Minthara and Halsin and never had that problem. Minthy is my favourite companion and Halsin is my favourite Orin-lure, and I 've always been able to keep him until his (unfortunate?) demise in the temple of Bhaal in act 3.

Halsin is a randy dude with record of standing up his squeezes?
