      Both Druid Grove and Last light Inn destroyed, but the Ox is still present in Act 3 (i haven't found is body in any act).

        For the love of god, don't let the ox die in Act 1.
        Dammon will be gone until Act 3 if this happens.

        Not sure if this is a bug or deliberate, but it's really damn annoying.

          When it hopped out of my bag in the Lower City, the Strange Apple was on the ground, so I picked it back up. Got the ring and the note as usual, but I'm wondering if it'll bug out later.

            When you talk to the Strange Ox in the barn in Rivington in Act 3, you can agree to help smuggle it into the city. When you choose to help, he turns into an apple in the barn and you can then pick it up. Once you go past Wyrm's Rock and enter into the city of of Baldur's Gate, immediately after the loading screen, the quest should complete and it will give you (If I remember correctly) the Shapeshifter's Ring as reward.
            In the final battle, you'll be able to summon it into the battle where it takes the form of an ooze but can transform into a Minotaur, Shadow Mastiff, Dire Wolf, or Phase Spider

              Act1 when killed at the Grove drops just a ring that adds a +1d4 to all checks with shapeshifting. In act 2 however he drops that some jewlery and a Hat that when you deal fire dmg you gain "Arcane Acuity" for 2 turns you get a + 1 to spell attacks and Spell DC. Idk what he drops in Act 3

                I took too long to help the Ox as I didn't realize I had to actually pick the apple up. The quest closed, and I went back to the barn. I could then pick the able up and take it into Baldur's Gate but nothing triggered. I don't know when it normally turns back but maybe it can still be completed without the quest markers to aid you. Hitting the apple turns it into the ooze again and makes it hostile.
