Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Halsins quest - bug (numerous)

Three problems identified with his quest so far:

1) Quest reward:

I've resuced Halsin, and I'm back in the Grove.

I'm told that Rath will reward me. I speak to Rath and he tells me to go to the inner waterfall. I have no idea where this is? It's not marked on my map.

Also, I'm told to speak to Zevlor, and he's marked on my map. I run to the destination of Zevlor (at the water fall) and he's nowhere to be seen.

UPDATE: I found Zevlor, but it's odd because his location keeps moving.
UPDATE: Halsin quest reward text/speech appears to be bugged. I've met with him the next day and he doesn't give me new information. He just wishes me good luck etc when he is meant to give me advice/guidance on how to fix my illness.
UPDATE: I found Halsin. You are required to "camp" outside of the town/in the wilderness. The "cinematic" if you will kicks in that way. Going to your camp doesn't unlock it. Sleep outside. It did the trick.


2) Bug with Halsin's pet

Anyone else experience this problem?

During Halsin's rescue, at the Goblin temple, it crashes.
Being a druid, Halsin is able to summon a pet wolf. Wow an extra pair of hands. Great news. Although, it's not. It crashes the game. I found myself coming across the same bug time and time again. A the end of the fighting round for his wolf, the game stops dead. It doesnt allow you to move forward to the next companion etc. I found a way around it though, I didn't summon the wolf in the first place and made my way about the quest minus Halsin's lovely wolf.

3) Unlimited fighting rounds for Halsin in the Goblin temple

I triggered a bug at towards the end of one the big fights in the Goblin temple. Somehow, I was able to use Haslin limitlessly to do my bidding. He could move/fight forever without it clicking to the enemy.

1) Quest Reward (follow up to your post); [Spoilers below]

I am in the same situation. He said meet me the next morning so I went to camp to sleep and he stays down inside the grove next to the mean Druid who was bumped down in ranks to start over once Halsin took over the camp again. I've rested many days since, explored my entire camp and Halsin seems to not go any further now. Might have to redo this whole thing once the full game comes out. If I find any thing that resets it or fixes it without reloading to a very early point in game or before I met with Halsin in the grove after being saved.... I'll let ya know. Feel free to hit me up on Steam too. Same username as display name here

Cool I've just updated my bug report above.

Also I've just finished early access.

kay, so i found Halsin. Rescued Halsin, killed all the leaders. didnt keep Haldin in the group

so, since I side with the tiefings, and kill the druids. the druid grove is covered in poison mist. Now Haldin is nowhere to be found. I finish the quest for the tiefings and did the party, kiling all goblings. cant find haldin. found Rath inside the small room next to the grove. he keep asking : where is Haldin?

I had a lot of issues with Halsin's quest as well - Halsin needs a CLEAR dialogue line that tells the party to go talk to Zevlor. Either camping in any area should automatically trigger the celebration, or talking to Zevlor and saying "Yes - let's go." needs to automatically trigger the celebration scene.

When you find Rath's cache, it should update the quest log to something like - "I found the hidden cache that Rath awarded me. Halsin has asked that we rest, celebrate, and speak in the morning."

I already trigger the celebration scene.. ..Never found Halsin after get hin out of the cell. but I spoke with Zevlor at the gates and trigger the Celebration. after that Druids grove is empty, only Rath remain

I just stuck Halsin and Guts on the stairs, so the rest of the team killed Guts while they couldn't do anything.

Found Haldin still in goblin Camp, talk to him. told me to meet in the grove...now is missing again .... Is he pissed off because I kill all the druids and went to the party withe the tiefling without him ....?

while working this quest - I found the note indicating that Kagha is a shadow druid - it won't let me pick up the note to take as evidence, and when I talk to Kagha and tell her she is a known shadow druid - she just says ... What? and then ends the dialogue. The quest is stuck on "Investigating Kagha" So Zevlor won't talk to me Rath won't talk to me and that wretched shadow druid is GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!!

@Coffeebreak - Thanks for the update regarding having to camp in the wilderness. It's not clear that the Go to Camp and End Day button when pressed in the wilderness is a Long Rest.

However, this isn't resolving the bug which I have found. Circumstances of my run:

• Until the point of freeing Halsin, I have had no long rests (I was attempting a "No-Long-Rest" run. No return to Camp and therefore none of the other Long Rest Cut Scenes have occurred.
• I arrived back at the Grove not expecting to bump into Halsin (I was just going back to sell my goods and buy more fruit/healing potions), but his cutscene triggered. Just like the OP I was required to take a long rest (hard requirement it seems).
• Went outside of the Grove, clicked the "Return to Camp and end the Day" button. I'm still teleported back to the camp. I then get "The Deal" cut scene (not the "Celebration" cut scene)
• Tried to go further into the "wilderness", clicked the "Return to Camp and end the Day" button. I'm still teleported back to the camp. I then get "Shadowheart Strange Magic" cut scene (not the "Celebration" cut scene).
• Tried to go even further into the "wilderness", clicked the "Return to Camp and end the Day" button. I'm still teleported back to the camp. No "Celebration" cut scene...

The Celebration cut scene never triggers and am stuck.

yeah i am in a similar boat. I talked to him and he wanted the group to find the hidden vault. we found it and then rested thinking he would either be in the camp waiting to help us the next morning, or when we left camp and went back to the grove. I don't know how to get things to go further, we killed the goblin leaders, and killed the druids leaders too before we went to find Halsin. and when we talk to him at the front gate of druid grove , he jsut keeps asking us to wait to heal us. How do I get it to advance that part of the game/story?



Oh gawd, lol just hit my head was the thought of a celebration cut scene in the druid camp ,... lol ewok village celebration scene 2.0 ... ub ub

I am having a similar problem with not being able to find Halsin after freeing him, not using him in my party, killing all of the goblins, not killing everyone in the grove. I did return to the grove and talked to Zevlor, talked to Rath "where is Halsin", partied with Zevlor, rested, returned to camp, return to goblin camp where everyone outside was hostile and killed me - so much for loping the head off and the rest will scatter theory. Somebody needs to warn the tieflings because they will all be slaughtered the moment the leave the grove.

I'm having the problem with Kagha's not too..so frustrating that she's getting away with it.

My quest is currently stuck at "Halsin thanked us and said that Rath would surely reward us for our efforts." They problem is after I rescued Halsin I returned to the Grove through the hidden cave that leads to Nettie's lab. I ended up speaking to Rath first before speaking to Halsin, and he ended up giving me the rune to collect the reward. So I collect the reward first and then talk to Halsin and now he's telling me to talk Rath to collect the reward I already collected. When I speak to Rath, he jus thanks me again but nothing else happens.

I took the aggressive route with the goblins and killed all of them. i didnt rescue halsin however he showed up in my camp on the celebrations.
Now he is always at my camp but i still have the quest unfinished in its first stage of looking for him at the goblin camp.

any suggestions?

I rescued Halsin, he helped me killing the goblin's leaders,than we return to the grove, he told me to speak with Rath and colect my reward, so did i, than he told me to talk with him in the morning and enjoy the celebration, did that too, in the morning he was at he camp and i can chat with him, he tells about the Underdark, but the quest "Rescue Druid Halsin" isnt finished, and im sticked, cant go further, already fou the ornamented door that leads to the underdark bud its locked and its impossible to picklock, can sobody help me pleas?
Sorry for the grammar mistakes btw, english isn't my first language.

You have four paths to the Underdark:

1. Goblin Camp
2. Zentarim Shelter
3. hole in the well
4. Hag's Teapot house

The door you're talking about is probably in the goblin camp? There you need to solve the puzzle on the floor. Also, I don't think you can continue Halsin's quest in the first act, which is available in EA. But you can get into the Underdark.

I think I'm encountering the same problem as NandoG61. After freeing Halsin, killing the goblin leaders, then returning to Halsin, I head back to the Grove. I meet Halsin scolding Kagha, he told me to head to Rath for my reward and that we would talk more about the parasite in the morning. After heading to Rath and getting my reward from the Vault I went and spoke with Zevlor to get the party started once I returned to camp. Returned to camp, Zevlor did his little Yoga dance, and I enjoyed a drink with Shadowheart. Morning arrives and the conversation with Halsin automatically started, he starts talking to me about the parasite and moonrise towers, but after the dialogue ends my journal doesn't update. No new moonrise towers objective and the Rescuing the Druid objective still hasn't completed, it just tells me to wait for Halsin at camp. I've short rested, long rested, spoken with Halsin at the camp multiple times both day and night. Nothing.

Having an issue with Halsin (and any other NPC who temporarily joins my party), when they supposedly leave it, their character frames are still stuck in my party. I have Halsin, Glut, and two resurrected duergar whose face frames are just stuck uselessly on the left side of my screen. Any way to get them gone?

Yea I've this bug as well. Travel to camp and long rest seems to fix it. Reloading the game as well
