Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Owlbears and Vampires do not mix...

So...funny story here. I restarted the game, and was in the process of getting the owlbear cub to join me. The last time...I didn't happen to have Astarion with me at the time. THIS time however, I did. My party and I cross the little stream...and immediately Astarion goes running away...I watched in amazement as he circled around to the back of the 'bear-lair' and initiated combat...before I had even triggered the cutscene to 'talk' with the mother owlbear.

...cross the stream...repeat...fight initiated.

Then I remembered....vampire...running water... DOH!

had to manually walk him over the water...then resume as normal.

Stupid vampire.

Maybe sometime tomorrow I will 'force-push' him over a cliff...on accident, of course.

See now that's funny without too many spoilers, I leave him at camp fighting the Woads because of the water thing. For the owlbear, I always assumed he was trying to stealthily take a snack, but you have a much better answer LoL!

He isn't stupid, he knows he'll take damage if he walks on running water.

With an INT of 9, I think he is stupid but maybe self-preservation is strong in him LoL.
