Several reasons may cause issues with the Lump’s war horn, causing it not to work.

Some of them are as follows:

  • Dead Lump: If, in the game, Lump dies or is killed somehow, the horn won’t work as its master is dead.
  • You have travelled much farther from the goblin camp: There is a certain distance within which the horn works fine. If you’re beyond that distance, the horn won’t work.
  • You are engaged in combat: During the combat, you cannot call Lump to help you as the horn will not blow. You will have to either blow the horn before combat or after combat for it to perform its functions.
  • You’re in a cramped area: As Lump is an ogre, he and his friends need sufficient space to appear before you. If you’re in a cramped area, the horn may not work.

Now that we have understood the basic reasons why the Lump’s horn may not work in Baldur’s Gate 3 let us head to the fixes:

Start from the previous save

If Lump is dead in your current game or you have already used the horn, then it’s easy to reload the previous save and use the horn again to summon Lump.

Therefore, keep saving the game at multiple places in case things go awry.


Head closer to the goblin camp

As we have explained earlier, if you’re farther from the goblin camp, the horn will not have the desired result.

Check the map and see if the goblin camp is visible on it. If not, move closer to the camp and then blow the horn.


Blow the horn before combat

If you anticipate that you are about to be engaged in fierce combat, it would be wise to blow the horn beforehand or even before the enemies notice you.

So, use the horn wisely.


Head to an open area

If you’re in an area crowded with NPCs, the horn won’t work. Therefore, they move to an open area to summon Lump and his gang.

These easy steps will fix the Baldur’s Gate 3 Lump’s war horn not working issue on your device.
