After spending hours carefully navigating act 2 to recruit Jaheira, imagine my horror when, after successfully killing Ketheric and the Prophet, she immediately decides to leave the group permanently after invoking irreconcilable differences.

Imagine my surprise then, when she is then sitting in my camp in act 3, as if nothing has happened.

Imagine my disappointment that, despite her being in my camp and saying she'll join me, she just sits there and doesn't actually join.

On my quests, it also says she's left and the harpers aren't allies.


I went back to my saves in act 2, the earliest of which was on the rooftop before entering the flayer colony just after I'd recruited Jaheira. I tried so many different ideas to get around her leaving me. I tried killing her in the Ketheric fight so she was asleep and long resting, I tried sending her through the portal without my Tav, I tried resurrecting her, taking her to another waypoint and long resting, I tried doing water on the caustic acid on the steps in the castle in case Isobel stood on it.

Despite all of this, to me this just seems like a huge bug which has really upset me given how much care I put into act 2 and 140+ hours on this playthrough so far to try and get an almost completionist run.

Is anyone at Larian or in this community able to provide me with a workaround or fix to this, or is Jaheira now just going to be taking up a tent in my camp for the rest of the game with no purpose?

PLEASE help, this has really upset me and putting me off continuing and I have seen MANY other people on here and on Reddit with the same issue.

Thanks
