Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks The Advocate attacks.

So I'm on the Bloodmoon island and during the advocate quest I killed all the Black ring dudes around the Ancestor tree. When the fight was over, the Advocate and his crew appeared and they were immediately hostile. It seemed weird so I decided to google it and according to some information I've found (http://divinityoriginalsin2.wiki.fextralife.com/The+Advocate here, for example) he was supposed to talk with me. I retried the fight with black ring but the result is the same. Is there anything I can do and if not, do I lose much by killing the Advocate at this point without talking to him?

The advocate is a demon. Demons in this game are Bad. If you have Lhose in your party, killing the Advocate is in fact very important for her quest. So feel free to kill him and good riddance.

It's not; normally they walk up, thank you for your service, and then tell you to get lost.

Make sure you're not near the tree when the fight ends. I can't remember, but I seem to recall them getting hostile somehow and I think it might be the proximity to the tree that causes it.

This isn´t supossed to happen, even with Lohse. She is my main in my current PT and I was able to get to talk to him after I ve done the quest.

Usually proximity to the ancestor tree shouldn´t matter, the advocate is only getting hostile if you talk to it and then ignoring his request not to do so.

The only thing quest wise I can think of: Have you completed "The secret of the bloodmoon island?" It is tied to the ancestor tree, maybe this is causing it ?
