Apologies for the duplicate thread, but the other one is bugged for some reason (possibly the inclusion of an emojii? In 2024?)


Since that one isn't visible, I'm wondering what the current status is with regards to Dammon's survival and the Hellion's Heart quest (for Karlach's infernal engine)?

I was hoping to skip to the mountain pass as quickly as possible for a Githyanki playthrough, however I know that at least originally it's impossible to fully fix Karlach's heart in act 1, requiring Dammon to make it to Last Light Inn, but as far as I know the only way to ensure that is to kill the goblin leaders. Bit since then there's been a metric butt-tonne of patches with changelogs longer than War and Peace.

Is that still the case, or is there any way (including modding, if necessary) to ensure Dammon progresses to the Last Light Inn if I just go on my merry way straight to the mountain pass? I showed that one hopeless guy how to swing a sword properly, surely that's enough to ensure the tieflings make it through?
