You don't have to kill it's mother, you only have to visit the cave and either intimidate the mother or speak with her, convincing her to let you live. Later goblins will invade the cave and kill the mother off screen (when you visit it after, you find lotsa dead goblins around the dead owlbear mother + you can loot all the items there, including the egg). Hence the baby being in the goblin camp.
I have killed the mother and the cub cause i was thinking that cub in camp is another baby who was stollen or lost or something. After 6 hours of playing i visited gob-camp in this playthrough first time and suprise they chase real chicken now. Most sad moment in my last years of gameing 😢
A question regarding this I have done this out of order. Currently, I’ve already went to the goblin camp. I fed them the poison in the alcohol and I already kill the leaders. can I still get the cub ?
i interacted with the owlbear cave after i already killed the goblins. I was rather confused why an owlbearbaby came to my camp because i "rescued" it. btw I did not kill the mother i just drank an invisability potion gathered everything in the cave without her gettin angry again and went back outside.
When owl bear first visited camp, Astarion made him run.. personally i dont blame it for doing so.. after saying what a delectible little pet . And then says " oh now look, youve scared off the little snack."
So I did the race, got it through, asked it to come to camp, collected my money off the gob.. that’s it, then I did all the goblin temple stuff and killed everyone.. about 5+ long rests after, the owlbear arrived 👍
Ohhh, is that what it is? I try to take long rests like time matters, so I thought I'd done something wrong when I was pretty deep in the Underdark without seeing it.
So... there's something I don't comprehend. The owlbear will always be at the campsite, but it will never grow, except at the end of the game where you can summon it to battle and it will be an adult (?) Did I miss something?
Yes, but he will be like a summoned creature and attach to your character. Also, he has a powerful move, you can send him to a high place and he does a free jump like her mother if you fought her, the more the higher he is the move dmg he does. I saw someone did even 800 dmg with him.
@@usatakeover4415 I think the owlbear he saw was a druid because you can make a druid tranform into an owlbear and then use "enlarge" on it so it becomes even bigger
ALRIGHT SO... since literally nobody on the internet (google, youtube etc) gives you precise information about this, here you go: Save between the steps if you're not sure, but overall it's a lot more forgiving than you think as long as you do everything to keep the cub alive. I just did this as I was writing this comment so I can guarantee that it works. *"Speak with Animals" spell is not required for all of these steps, it's just for flavor.* *ALL STEPS* 1. Killing the Owlbear mother in the cave DOES NOT ruin this for you, you can still get the Owlbear cub as long as you leave it alive after killing the mother in the cave (i.e whether you kill the mother or not doesn't matter, but keep the cub alive. So if you want extra exp and stuff, go ahead and kill her if you want). 2. The cub will later be caught by the Goblins and abused for their "chicken chase" game. When you arrive at the Goblin camp you can choose to participate in this game or not. If you do, make sure to gently tell the cub to run to the finishing line on it's own by using Animal Handling (or use the Speak with Animals spell), it will then run to the end of the course and you win without forcing the cub through it. You can also denounce the game and tell them to fuck off, but approaching the cub beforehand is still required so that the cub has your smell and trust (make him smell your hand so he can find you later. This method works for a certain other animal in act 1 that you can also get for your camp!). Make sure to always pick friendly and supportive dialogue lines, if you have to meet a check, save before rolling the dice. 3. Wipe out the Goblin camp completely. You are not going to find the owlbear anywhere after that as he flees the moment you start the fight, but don't worry he will come back to your camp later. 4. Now that the owlbear cub is free you can proceed to camp. You must use several long rests to get all the events and you must make sure to be kind to the owlbear cub at all times. Animal Handling and Speaking with Animals helps but is not required. However, skills in Medicine or Survival will be needed (either one of them) to meet the dice checks later. 5. Save. Spam long rests at the camp and go to bed until the owlbear cub appears. Save between each rest to be absolutely sure. *First encounter:* Feed the cub (no dice checks). One of your companions will step in and shoo him off, that's scripted and is going to happen everytime. *Second encounter:* Treat the wound (Nature, Medicine and Survival checks). I tested this, here what each check does... Nature check: You only investigate the wound nothing else (does not complete the event. If you want extra dialogue use this first, but is not required!). Medicine: Heals the owlbear. Completes the event immediately (you must succeed this check). Survival: Cleans the wound. Same as Medicine, completes the event immediately (you must succeed this check). After this successful second encounter of healing the wound, the cub will stay at the camp permanently (yellow hightlighted NPC if you have highlights turned on). You can now talk to him with Animal Speak, he will just say "Home!" but you can pet him and he will never leave you from this point onwards! Bug: there is a bug when petting the Owlbear at camp, where your screen stays black for like 10 seconds afterwards while still hearing audio. This bug has been in the game since EA and not been fixed yet. Just wait until your screen turns normal again (you don't need to restart).
On my first encounter with it in the camp I didn't have the option to feed him and he ran away when a member of the party came, will it still show up again later on? Thanks for the usefull information anyway
Also, if you kill all the goblins before seeing the owlbear you can go back at any point in time and kill The mother to get the cub Just go to sleep, it comes to camp and then gets scared off by x companion but will come back after 2 long rests, make sure to feed it out of your hand tho.
@brbdoo Thanks, obviously I kept playing since writing the comment, and I already have the little fluffer in my camp. He didn't bring me a "gift" yet, though 🤔
I killed all the goblins but now I can't find him in the goblin camp anymore and he doesn't show up to my camp. I'm considering starting a new play through because of it
@@jackshaoxixu He did for me. I didnt attack his mom, didnt talk to him at goblin camp, didnt do chicken run. Didnt do anything, and he appeared. Try to make sure you have speak with animals on when you do a long rest so when he appears at night you can talk to him
I have a question in my playthrough, I killed the Mother Owlbear and let the cub live . I Then killed the goblin camp but the cub is still eating it’s mom corpse in a cave?
This is the deamnest thing. I am playing my first run with a green dragonborn Dark Urge. I just played this part. I went to hit like, and mine is the 420th like for this video. I bet this is going to be a lucky day for me.
Wish this quest would work for me i'm already 7 hours in an i'v done this multipul times but the cub never shows up at goblin camp for me even when i spare it and take loads of long rest :( maybe i'm not meant to have it
Had the same problem so tried with a new save. Basically if you get to the goblin camp BEFORE getting into the Owlbear's cave, you're done. You must visit the cave BEFORE reaching the goblin camp for the first time.
Hi guys, I had the same problem, I advanced a lot in the game and came back later through the owlbear, I had already killed the 3 goblin leaders, and when I came back he was in their camp, just take several long rests until the quest updates. (I don't know if he appeared in the goblin camp if you killed the "lobby" goblins before going back to the cave)
@@VikingsNeverDie On my playthrough i didnt visit the owlbear cave before the goblin camp and just went back to the cave before wiping out the goblins then long rested a couple times and he was there
You don't have to kill the mother. You just need to pass a persuasion check and back down to avoid the fight. A few nights later the goblins will raid the owlbear cave (offscreen) and abduct the cub.
Mine was there and him and scratch became friends.. now he is nowhere to be found, does somebody know why? (yes i tried different camps) Edit: he was never seen again
I screwed this all up on my first playthrough. I am a complete noob when it comes to this game. I went in failed the dice rolls so I had to fight the mother and the cub was also attacking me. Unfortunately I had to kill both. Looks like I won't get the cub on my first run. Feel like suck a jerk now. But honestly I am doing this completely blind i'm not looking up guides or youtube videos so how the hell was I supposed to know? I completely forgot about drinking the potion to speak to animals. At the same time that's what makes this game so amazing my second plate through is gonna be even more fun I'll know what spells to go with, which feats, and new decisions.
I killed the owlbear and it's my biggest regret (and also killed the baby to take it out of his misery or something idk what I was thinking it was traumatizing
Might be u need to progress a bit more in story? did take a while for me too but i just kept playing and look who appeared whit their hurting paw xD Like u should be good considering it found you're camp and u got the first cut scene.
fun fact: you don't need to kill the owl bear mother, he will just follow you back to camp if you save him from the goblins. so you killed her for nothing. you monster. but i mean your already playing the dark urge so hey sick and twisted is clearly your thing.
No, I never killed the mom, never talked to the cub at the goblin camp. The cub still came to my camp in the under dark after all the goblins were dead

If you activate turn based mode, the chicken chasing game is far easier.

You can just talk to the chicken or owlbear too

Krolla's dialogue had me wheezing 'it's got feathers don't it!'😂
God. I allready wanted to play this game. But now the longing is even stronger.
I hope you get to play soon it's one of the best. Do yourself a favor and stop watching videos and just go in as fresh as you can.
@@jinnyplays sadly i will have to wait untill it comes to xbox s/x so i'll probably have watched a lot of playthroughs by then. But i am used to that.
So... there's something I don't comprehend. The owlbear will always be at the campsite, but it will never grow, except at the end of the game where you can summon it to battle and it will be an adult (?) Did I miss something?
does it grow from all the potions its fed at the end?
the game takes place over a couple of weeks not years
The blacksmith had some potions to make him grow, it’s temporary I think
when the pet grows up, can he join the party and fight like a normal character?
No but, MINOR SPOILER : You can summon him as an armored OwlBear in the final fight :D
Yes, but he will be like a summoned creature and attach to your character.

Visited cave, chicken chased, got winnings, invited to camp, intimidated goblin, no owl bear cub 🙄

Karlach just spoke mine mind

Just go to sleep, it comes to camp and then gets scared off by x companion but will come back after 2 long rests, make sure to feed it out of your hand tho.
Well, before you finish the gauntlet of shar anyways
But what option is the "feed out of hand"-option? In both cases the character throws the food in the end.
thanks, i was ready to kill shadowhart
@@Blubableful If you use speak with animals, either option works.

I have the same problem
I think you can't kill the 2 absolute guy, it won't make it appear in goblin camp
I only saved the owl bear cause I went on a killing/robbing spree after the quests 😂
ahh make me wanna start the game an become the legendary Goblin Slayer-san now~
The only good goblin is a dead one.
not the -san 💀💀
I wipe out all of those little cunts hahaha I gain almost half of a lvl just by killing goblins hahaha
I kinda wish the cub would sound a bit younger cause it really takes away the adorable-ness a tad bit
I failed the heal check back at camp and hurt him does that mean iv lost him ?
I must have just completely missed this cave my first playthrough, where is it?
Is it possible to get cub without chicken chase? My cub seems stuck in the cave and there is only a chicken in the goblin camp
Tell them the game is cruel after u ask them too repeat the rule of the game and Demand it whit you're brain buddy
What a glorious beast
How do you recruit the owlbear cub to your party? There's no option when talking to it.
This is the deamnest thing. I am playing my first run with a green dragonborn Dark Urge. I just played this part. I went to hit like, and mine is the 420th like for this video. I bet this is going to be a lucky day for me.
The War Crimes i am willing to commit for these two
So I am a druid, I spoke to the owlbear cub and I only have the option to "attack the goblins" What is going on?
Did u silence the bard guy ? since they goblins ask u too do that before more happens since they are tired of his talking xD
@@shadownight5294 I meant to say during the chicken chase game.
You need to wait for him to go the the start point and you also need krolla to get her timer up before you engage the cub.
How could i, how could i not see this in my playthrough 😢
I won the race and bought him off but he still hasn't come to my camp.
me too. i got a dream visitor cutscene so maybe it will appear "in the next one"
