Sulik flagged as dead?

[ShiftySights121]

Sulik seemed to have his rubber boots melt half way through the toxic caves and must have died, but he doesn't really seem dead. He still shows up where ever i go (just at the entrance) and stands there with the only thing i can do is click on him to view his inventory.
unfortunately i have saved over my one save from before the caves and would like to have him back. Is it possible he is simply flagged as dead and can be brought back by doing something with my save file and a hex editor or is he gone for good? if it is possible what do i need to do?

 

[Per]

You would need to hexedit a file in your save, not sure which one. It might be easier to let him "decay", then reset the Klamath map to re-recruit him. To do this, load the game, go to the world map, move your KLADWTWN.SAV file out of your save folder, enter Klamath, recruit Sulik, leave and then restore the old KLADWTWN.SAV.

thanks for the help. I don't know what happened but after I moved the file out of the save folder and didn't see him back in the town I put the file back and reloaded my game.
For some reason he went back to normal. I didn't need to recruit him again but everything seems fine now.
