Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks How to save Source Hound Emmie?

Hello there,
Is there any possibility to save Emmie?
My main character has the pet pal perk, but every time i walk into the room with the dogs, they attack me and there seem to be nothing I can do about it.
What can I do to save her?

Ah, you want to save all the sad and hurt animals in the game? You're in for a treat mate, because the answer seems to be "You can't save her.", and this will be a trend going forwards.

That said, there is a way to avoid killing her. Talk to her friend Buddy down on the beach, or find some item to distract her animalistic sensibilities from source hunting.

That's because I wanted to save Emmie, Buddy told me about her.
But as I said, she immediatly attacks me when I go into her room.

You need to find a red ball or something like that and have somebody with pet pal getting first with the dogs I think.

You mean the red ball from the hound master, right?
It is in my inventory and no matter how i use it, take it in my hand or anything, the dogs attack me.

I solved it!
The problem is, that my main characters left Fort Joy before and went to the swamps. After that, all the magisters and even the source hounds tourn hostile.
So I tested it with one from the other characters which didn't left Fort Joy, trained pet pal with it and entered the room with Emmie and it worked.
So the triggering of leaving Fort Joy was my problem.

Yup. And even if you pacify them, leaving Fort Joy and returning they'll still attack you regardless.

So I dropped my saves from the end of act 1, went back from start with Pet Pal and you're telling me that in this vast world with so many options there is no way to save a single dog.
I choose to return the game.

Just don't get near them, after they turned hostile. ^^

Red ball , pet pal, then open door. Emmie and Buddy happy. Puppers safe )
