After you Recruit him (Vatnir)....


Recommended Posts

where does he run off to? I exposed him as a fraud and now it says I need to locate him in Harbinger's Retreat.

 

 Did you find the room to the right in the central building? (You need to find a switch to open it.)

 

I didn't play it the same way you did, but that is where I would guess.

I'm having the same problem, and no. That room is literally where the conversation where I exposed him happened, and he ran off *from*. He's not in that room, and I can't find him anywhere. Kinda pissed off, I had no idea he'd leave the party and there's no autosave from entering Harbingers Retreat after beating the Messenger.

Wait a minute.  Are you saying he joined your party (as in you selected his class and everything) and THEN he left?

 

Not sure how that happened.

 

But just to make sure we're on the same page, the room where you exposed him ISN'T the temple room where the congregation was.  It's a totally separate room past a hallway just before the temple congregation room.

 

Here's a couple of sceenshots of where you can find him:

You do have to fiddle with a hidden switch in the room right before that one to open up the room Vatnir is in:

Not sure what level of Perception you need to find it.

Yes, and yes, I was in that hidden room with him, after the fight with the Messenger. He joined my party, I picked his class, then one of the Harbingers showed up and there was a conversation. I exposed him to the Harbinger, the Harbinger said something about Vatnir coming with him, I said "I still need him to show me the temple", and Vatnir said "You had your chance!" and stormed out. Then I got a notification to find him somewhere in Habinger's Retreat, but cannot locate him anywhere--least of all in the hidden room where this all went down.

Ah, I think the 'need to find him somewhere' is a bug then and he's almost certainly gone for good.  I'll check the code to make sure though.

 

The 'need to find him somewhere' is the game telling you to find him in that hidden room in the first place.

I won't say this definitely, but a quick glance at the game code suggests that once he leaves the party, he's gone for good.  Much like the other companions the Watcher manages to upset.

 

FWIW, you don't need Vatnir to progress with the DLC.  Fairly certain, at any rate.

Just did something of a trial run and when Vatnir runs out, your Journal should have been updated.  The issue might be that it's a completed quest and the very last entry isn't being updated properly.

 

*double checks*

 

Yep, that's it.  The quest "An Honored Guest" is marked as competed, but it isn't saying that Vatnir ran out on you after you recruited him.

 

So if anything a description bug, as the quest is very much over.

Ah, that explains that. I know I don't *need* Vatnir for the DLC, but I very much want him for narrative elements, I'd like to bring both him and Ydwin along to hear what they have to say. Thankfully the point where this all happened isn't terribly far in, so I'm just gonna restart and *not* expose them rofl
