AGDInteractive - Sierra Adventure Game Remakes Forum

I've been playing my warrior/mage character for quite some time now level grinding, and on day 13, which as far as I know is the day when you run into the caged beast for a quest to dispell his state, unfortunately it would appear that the poor thing is dead?.... I am assuming that maybe I should have found the beast earlier? when does he first appear?

That's not something I ever encountered; I wouldn't have thought it possible. According to this guide, day 12 is the earliest it can be done, but you actually have until day 16.
