You can also summon scratch and he will find it for you. Apparently he even finds chests that don't have a visible survival check. But I can't confirm that because I never have him summoned.
That's the only reason I tried the shovel. I started using Scratch more and figured there had to be a way to reveal what he's pointing at if you fail.
It was nice until he would still sniff out ones I've already dug or worse get himself caught in an encounter and then blasted to bits
You can summon Scratch?!
Yup, it's an ability called "Find Familiar: Scratch" You need to have had a few interactions with him in the camp before the ability appears. I think it can be found in the "Common" section of your spellbook once you have it.
You also don't need to worry about him dying. You can always resummon him. But he is fairly useless in combat and other familiars are better.
Scratch is a good boy. He brings me gifts in camp. Last night he gave me a potion of speak with Animals...wonder if he is telling me he has something he wants to tell me...
He always brings me rope, I worry for what he’s trying to tell me with that lol
I've used Karlach to talk to him a few times. Usually just thanks me for saving him.
You can also summon the owlbear cub, Mayrina's husband Connor, Us the brain creature from the nautiloid, 4 ghouls from the Necronomicon of Thay, a fairy from the broken moonlantern, the quasit Shovel. I think that's all of them.
My owlbear disappeared randomly after 2 times he was in camp (and I interacted with him). I think between Act 1 going to Act 2
I've summoned Scratch in the underworld and he died due to a mushroom exploding :(
You can just summon him again though? I've had scratch die, but he can still be resummoned.
There is a bug where he gets stuck either in blighted village or in your camp behind target dummies near blighted village. Then the summon spell is greyed out. To fix it I had to go back to blighted village and then I could cast the spell.
Thank you for the hint!
