Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Halsin seems to be missing?

So I got into the goblin stronghold and found out the druid Halsin was hauled off to some 'pits' supposedly. After wandering around a bit, I didn't find said pits and decided to go ahead and off the leaders. So after clearing the place out, I kept searching but never found him. Online spoilers told me he was in the warg pens, but when I went there, everything inside was already dead and no sign of him either. The pens were the last location I found inside the stronghold as I didn't spot the door until I had killed everyone and got to a more thorough search of the premises. So what now? The dude has vanished. How can I rescue him if he isn't around?

I had the same problem on my first playthrough. If you kill the leaders before finding him in the pens, he will not be there when you first get there. You need to go back to the druid grove, he will be waiting there for you. At least he was for me.

I'll look for him there when next I play. I guess he's why everything in the pens was dead when I got there? He could have at least maybe left a note ' Thanks for the distraction, come see me at the grove. -Halsin'. Or have the quest log update to indicate he made it out on his own while I was taking down the leaders. Something so I'm not wandering around the place pointlessly looking for him.
