How to Find Thaniel in Lift the Shadow Curse after Hide and Seek

The way you find Thaniel in the BG3 Lift the Shadow Curse quest after playing hide and seek with Oliver in Baldur’s Gate 3 depends on how things shook out during the game. Namely, Oliver is Thaniel’s other half, and you cannot have one without the other. You have to convince Oliver to go back to your camp. You can talk to him either as your PC or as Halsin. Whichever way you want to do this, Oliver has to come back with you. Also, you need to go to the man lying in Last Light Inn, Art. Keep in mind that you will likely need to have Speak with Dead either in the form of an amulet or a scroll, or just have a character that can cast the spell. Art will ask to talk to Halsin. After you do all of this Thaniel should appear near Halsin’s tent.

Now, the problem is how to find Thaniel in the Lift the Shadow Curse quest in Baldur’s Gate 3 if you accidentally killed Oliver in BG3 Hide and Seek. You might think that you’ve locked yourself out, but that’s not the case. According to Reddit user Ihadtoconfirm, you can take Halsin to Oliver’s last location and talk to him. Halsin will then tell you that a spirit like Oliver can never die. After this, Oliver should respawn near the cart. However, you’ll only get this dialogue prompt after you beat the main boss of Act 2. I’m not gonna spoil who that is, but trust me, you’ll know. And that’s basically it, I believe. Before we wrap up, I would just like to thank the people from this thread for all the useful info.

With all that said, I have seen people say that there’s some kind of bug in the Lift the Shadow Curse quest that prevents them from completing it. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Rather, it’s just the result of the actions they’ve taken. Just follow the steps we’ve outlined above and watch the “bug” disappear.
