Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Act 1-2 Boat Fight:

If you teleport Malady to Dallis's ship and then Malady completes her spell, it causes her to not spawn in the hall of echoes in the bottom section of the ship. This bug is particularly frustrating in honour mode as it causes you to automatically fail without dying, or messing up on your part, since the game will autosave as you enter the hall but Malady will not be present on the ship.

Man, that's one hell of way to get messed up. You can't really blame the devs for not foreseeing something like that. I mean, why in the world would you teleport Malady onto Dallis' ship?

I suppose the moral here is: don't do weird stuff on honor mode.

I only did it because it is an easier way to keep her alive. Drop her on Dallis's ship and you only have to worry about saving her from Dallis, rather than the hoard of other minions.

Well, it saved her from Dallis, but also ensured she wasn't around on the ghost ship. Its not that big a deal anyhow, I have had this bug occur in 3 different honor mode playthroughs at the same spot, I wanted to ensure this is definitely the cause before reporting it though, it is rather reliable to reproduce.

I am more than fine with just using a different tactic.
