Black Cat+ [Definitive Edition]
Has it ever bothered you that who ever first approaches the Black Cat in Fort Joy is the one the little furry cutie follows, and there’s no way to change that?
No more.
-
Tell the cat to follow someone else
Once the cat is following you, talk to him and tell him to follow someone else. There are options for both having pet pal as a talent, or not.
-
Skill book instead of skill
If you manage to keep the cat alive, he’ll now give you a skill book instead of the skill directly. This way, you can discuss among yourself and/or change your mind about who gets the skill instead.
-
A Jar of Fluff
The Godwoken obtaining the spirit of the Black Cat also receives a Jar of Fluff. They can use this in order to absorb their summon skill and give it to a friend, or sell it.
-
Make him a permanent battle pet
After obtaining the cat as a summon, you can now attempt to find a Kitten’s Collar around the world. If you do, you can use it to collar the cat and he will instead become a permanent battle pet, following you around in the world. He’s a capable fighter and will prove to be a good asset in the heat of battle.
-
Pet Whistle (NEW!)
After obtaining the kitty and his collar, you get a pet whistle which you can use to signal your location. If they’re alive, both the Black Cat and Sir Lora will find their way back to you.
– More befriendable pets and adventure companions can be found in my main campaign expansion,
Chronicles of Divinity[larian.com]. Unfortunately not specifically in Act 1, but Act 2 will contain one addition 🙂
– Sir Lora as an Origin character. Only the Divine may stop the Coming of The Great Acorn!
INFO
As per 17/09/18, custom quests are currently bugged in DOS2:DE, making the journal appear empty. As a remedy to this until a patch from Larian has been pushed, I’ve removed the ingame quest entries (but the quest is still the same in gameplay).
Stage 1
After escaping Fort Joy with the black cat alive and well, he’ll thank you as normal and give you a skill book for summoning him, and a jar to transfer the skill between players.
Stage 2
You may try to find a suitable kitten collar for him. The cat needs a collar to feel brave and encouraged enough to start following you permanently in the dangerous world.
Stage 3
Once a kitten collar is found, you can equip it on the black cat, and he will start following you permanently in world with improved combat capabilities. He is AI-controlled.
Note; This is optional. You can choose not to use the collar, and keep him as a summoning spell.
Pet Revival – By LadyC – It currently does not heal the companion kitty. Only the vanilla Black Cat as you work your way out of Fort Joy.
Let me know of any bugs or issues you may experience either here or contact The Composer on DOS2’s discord.
