In this guide, you will learn how to save the Owlbear Cub from running away while playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
The Owlbear Cub is difficult to miss if the player does not make specific choices. Aside from this, there are certain locations to visit and the order to do them in which matter.
How to Save the Owlbear Cub
Follow the below steps to prevent the Owlbear Cub from running away.
- Enter the Owlbear Nest.
- Confront the mother, but do not kill the Owlbear Cub.
- Exit the cave.
- Take Long Rests and continue checking the Owlbear Nest until the Owlbear Cub is missing.
- Speak to Krolla and play the Chicken Chaser game.
- Convince Krolla to release the Owlbear Cub.
- Interact with the Owlbear Cub and pass the Animal Handling check. Alternatively, speak with Animals and tell the Owlbear Cub to go to camp.
- Kill all the Goblins outside of the Shattered Sanctum.
- Take several Long Rests until you see the Owlbear Cub at the camp.
- On the first night, feed the Owlbear Cub food by hand.
- On the second night, heal the Owlbear Cub’s wound.
- On the third night, pretend to eat the Owlbear Cub’s offering.
You need to perform these steps in order, most especially the first four. If players take care of the Goblin Camp before the Owlbear Cub goes missing, you won’t be able to recruit it.
When you play with friends, ensure the entire party knows how to do the first part.
