Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks Talents not working

Hi all,

I'm currently playing on xbox one, game version 3.6.29.3278.

It appears that currently neither pet pal nor lone wolf is working for me. I acquired both skills on Fort Joy and I could speak to animals and received double skill points per point spent.

After arriving on Reaper's Coast I noticed pet pal not working anymore. Also now when leveling up, I don't get the skill point bonus anymore.

Concerning pet pal I read that it's possible to lose the talent when finishing a quest for Hannag, but I couldn't speak to animals before I even met her. Needless to say that I didn't have the chance to agree killing all animals in the forest yet.

I am aware of the max party size of 2 for Lone Wolf to apply.

Did I miss something or is this a known bug?

A couple of screenshots:


petpal not working


polymorph skill, note missing lone wolf bonus


learned talents


warfare skill, note applied lone wolf bonus

"Lone Wolf provides [...] and combat abilities (except Polymorph ability)[...]"

You can see this in your talents screenshot.

Pet Pal not working is probably a bug. Have you tried using the respec mirror? Remove Pet Pal, apply the change, then take it again. Might fix the problem.

I found a workaround for PetPal. Go to the mirror and switch it on save it then go back in and turn it on again.
