Um, I JUST freed her with a Warlock in patch 9 without using my tadpole. It's still possible in patch 9.
Interesting. What subclass did you pick, and what sequence did you do stuff in?
I tried with a Great Old One warlock a couple of days ago and didn’t spot that option. I started by clicking on the pod and then used the Warlock option to successfully examine the glyphs. I didn’t have any option there to open the pod directly. I then went to the console and the only Warlock option was to inscribe the glyphs I’d seen on the pod, which brought the console to life (which you usually need the stone from the locked chest to do), but I still needed to put my hand on the console and use the tadpole to actually open the pod.
