Yurgir the Orthon missing dialogue options?

I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.

Spoilers (?) for Act 2

So I was really struggling with the fight against yurgir the orthon- like to a point where i had died and reloaded old saves for 2 hours straight. So, i decided to look up some tips to try and help with the fight. That’s when an article i saw mentioned that there was a way to completely avoid the fight, and just make Yurgir kill all his enemies for you just by doing the interaction right.

So i tried to reload my save and redo my interaction with him, following along with the guide, and i’m literally missing the options. Like, the guide i was following had more choices than me. The best i could end up with was doing some super tedious fetch quest that apparently ends with Yurgir living (which i definitely don’t want because I am desperately trying to romance Astarion.)

I tried everything. restarting my game, tried every member of my party, every dialogue option, i literally cannot get this ending apparently.

Has this been an issue for anyone else? does anyone know of a fix??
