    Just to append a correction. It was brought to my attention that you can just "walk thru the doors here" Hitting z to jump seems to be the best way to force move through them due to fog of war. I am not ashamed to say that Larian Tricked me, and neither should you.

    • @CouchCit
      @CouchCit 9 месяцев назад +7

      That's not what tricked me. I talked to the door with Karlach and succeeded with the Intimidation check, then it showed me a vision of the Hag walking thru, so I switched to controller and walked thru. What got me was when I first scouted ahead and saw enemies with the mask on, I decided to try putting it on to see if it'd work as a disguise. Alas, my video game intuition failed me this time lol.

      You can just move your camera past the gnarled door and click the ground in the other side. If you hide and stay hidden from the top of the staircase at the beginning of this room, you will skip auntie's dialogue telling you You're not welcome, and will also be able to pass through the gnarled door without triggering it's dialogue scene as well.
      Edit- no need to put on the mask as each time I did, auntie possessed my PC and caused an extra encounter. Not worth the fight.

    You can long rest right before you fight the hag. If you don't approach the orb but instead go to her room in the bright there is a portal in the back right of that room. It will take you outside and you can long rest. Re-enter the portal and continue where you left off.

    For Ethel's masks, you can cast Protection from Good and Evil (lasts until long rest; available via scrolls, too) on a character to negate the Wisdom checks and prevent Ethel from taking over. Wearing the masks will also reveal the traps, whereon you can throw large objects (e.g. a shield) to cover the vents and stop the noxious gas.

    the easiest way through the gas cloud area is to cast featherfall and just jump from the top to the end in one go, (cast jump or similar if you can't jump far enough)
    and if you cast sleep on the hag when she's transformed into mayrina, it breaks concentration and undoes her spell so you can target her easily

    The easiest way to tell the hag from mayrina is looking at their level. Hag is 5, mayrina is 1.
    Also a really easy way to beat her if you don't care about the +1 increase
    When she tries the double Mayrina trick she is very vulnerable to being pushed around. I threw one of those void bombs that pull people and killed the hag instantly by knocking her of the platform

    If anyone misunderstood the title, then here is a way how to both kill her and take +1 stat: separate one party member (it was Astarion in my case), beat her up and after the successful dice roll on deception/intimidation swap to that character and finish her. I also reccomend stealing her inventory before that, because her body will dissapear. The game acknowledge she's dead via combat log and journal.

    You can also just use a featherfall scroll or potion to jump all the way down past the gas clouds. Pick up the potions at the end as you can load them all up in a sachel, throw it far enough it breaks open in/prior to combat, spilling out all the potions. You can do it on a boss with some explosive and debuff potions mixed in then ignite them for an easy kill/debuff on a tough fight.

    DO NOT use the "create water" spell here; water bottles work just as well, don't take a spell slot, and will still give Mayrina the Wet condition. Karlach has 7 water bottles to use in her inventory in this video, I always carry some for this reason.

    Yeah i never wore the mask. I forget what i did but basically everyone "captive" in that room is held by an illusion, which the door itself also is. Also, for the main fight,, my main character was a rogue, plus asterion, gale and shadowheart. Used sneak the go down the right side of the arena. Posted my main and asterion on the highpoint next to the door, had shadowheart hit the cage lever the start the battle. used gales magic missile to take care of clones, and then my main and asterion stayed hidden through all the fight using bow sneak attacks on her. I know this wont work for every team build but there is always a way around any encounter. Good vid though!

    protection from good and evil will make the user resistant to the mask curse, and you can bypass the masked guardians. but it's one spell of your cleric or paladin less for each member of your team, the hag will summon the guardians if you haven't kill them so you need to silence her, and melt her in the bubble, this is recommended for higher levels in act 1

    After you've passed the door, in the room where Ethel's 4 thralls are, you can send a stealthed rogue alone (like Asterion) to sneak their way up to the platform on the left side of the chamber. If you time your movement right, you won't be detected.
    Once up there, you can engage the thralls with ranged attacks - I recommend hitting the fellow with the warhammer and highest HP pool first. If you're lucky the cleric thrall will resist the mask's influence and won't move nor heal the target you just damaged. As the other NPCs move toward your rogue, send in your other characters and make short work of them.
    I wanted to try and save them from Ethel so I used non-lethal attacks to knock them all out. It took a few tries but it is possible. You can loot them, but make sure you don't remove their masks as that will kill them outright. If you kill Ethel however, you can then remove their masks safely.
    If you kill Ethel you unfortunately don't get the +1 attribute point, but she carries some valuable loot and a lot of gold.
    One other thing to note from your video: you don't need to throw objects to trigger the flower traps, you can simply hit them directly with ranged attacks or cantrips.

    Thanks for the tips here. I would also like to add that that she seems to speak to the nearest party member when you're about to kill her, so make sure to have someone with the best charisma/intimidation close to increase the chance of winning the roll. I was unlucky on my first attempt and randomly had someone with -1 intimidation get in the cutscene, so I had no chance of winning the roll.

  • @jackalplays5178
    @jackalplays5178 9 месяцев назад +17

    An alternative i used in tactician mode is to cast silence on the area she will reveal herself from since she won’t fight you until you get near the button. So, when you initiate the fight, she is silenced so she can’t do anything on her turn except move and throw the fire. On your turn, have one of your party members hit the button, which will release the girl on the next turn and save you a spell slot. Then you can attack the hag with your remaining members. When she is damaged, she will always have less Hp than her clones so you can just focus on killing her. Also at least 2 of her clones will spawn in the silence spell and won’t be able to do anything. Then by round three, you’ll bring her low enough for the cutscene. I’m playing a vengeance paladin so I just killed her instead of take it the item lol.

    Couple of things as I just played this yesterday. When the Hag imitates Mayrina, not only does Mayrina show up as "wet" if you doused her cage fire, but when you mouse over each one lights up as Mayrina and the other the Hag in the Initiative order up at the top of the screen. I ran into a problem where I had all 4 party members ungrouped and spread out, and when the Hag suddenly gave up to make the offer, instead of talking to my lead character (the one with the very high Charisma) she talked to whomever's turn it was for initiative...in my case that was Karlach. So instead of having a very high Charisma character try to persuade her to give up the Hag Hair and release Mayrina, instead I had very low Charisma Karlach FAIL miserably. Despite trying to make this a "good" playthru, I wanted the Hag Hair more than Mayrina so sorry to say Mayrina was not saved.

    Here is some info regarding if you want kill Aunt Ethel before she goes down into her hidden basement. The game does not allow you to do that. Had her silenced, used hold person, and all my companions blockade the passage down. She tries to go by slightly to the edge to get down. But I quickly surrounded her so she cant get past you into the passage, she (Without magic because she is still silenced) does not move or cast magic and yet the screen turn black and we see healing numbers appear. Then the game lags for a bit, before returning to your characters. So literally, the game does not allow you to stop her, does not matter how impossible for her to get down there, the game lets her get down no matter what you do. It pissed me off

      @boredaura1064 5 месяцев назад

      I killed her on tactician before she went back. It seems like clicking “attack her” prompts 2 turns before she heads back. First turn is when she turns invisible but doesn’t move so any well placed aoe will expose her, add that with a party that was pre placed before the conversation ended and some good hits and you’ll get her to half or lower first turn. Second turn (reminder this mainly seems to happen when you choose to flat out attack her) she’ll teleport the girl out and instantly move herself behind the furnace. If your team was placed behind her before the first turn you should have enough movement with your melee characters to get behind the furnace to and land some hits and have your mages stay in the living room to finish them off, if it’s a team full of melee characters then have one or two of them step behind the hag to make room for the other two and you should finish her in that turn, if not then some times she’ll actually take a step turn 3 before heading down to her lair and prompt opportunity on your melee characters which can also finish her off. Only downside to this is the girl being mad at your and no hag hair. The controlled enemies downstairs won’t be hostile anymore and one will even thank you and everything else will be as if you chose killing her in the final fight.

    Few pointers I wasn’t aware of when she surrenders the closest of your party members will lead the dialogue with the hag which was annoying as it made the speech check with shadowheart impossible for me so had to reload and stand my Barb next to hear near death also when you get the hair on ps5 it doesn’t say which +1 item is which and the symbols are very small so make sure you chooses the correct one

    I just stealthed through the door solo with my rogue tried the dialogue but it didn't work, might be bugged on my end if there is supposed to be a dialogue with the door because i tried and got nothing. So I went past it with no mask and past the possessed mask guards too. Rest of party is watching to make sure Ethel doesn't teleport the girl out of the room. They are all stealthed out of her view in turn based mode. Auntie Ethel hasn't moved at all but she did transform. I think she will move and teleport that girl if I end turn in that room. So I'm exploring solo with my rogue to disarm all the traps and get to the end then go back

    cast protection from good and evil on every member, then put on the masks. walk trough the door, the npcs wont attack you. approach the gas SLOWLY they will vanish and you can walk down there. once you reach the boss room, take the masks off. IMPORTANT, the npcs from earlier will join the fight. knock them out non lethal if you want to be nice. the npcs LOVE to push your party into the abyss. my advice, use karlach or astarion to take the npcs down with high burst dmg. use magic missle against fake hags. familliars are super useful.

    *EDIT: Found a solution to not getting hair below*
    Just hit the noxious clouds with a fire spell... you don't have to hit the flowers (especially as you have to use perception to be able to hit them first).
    When the flowers are gone just place a crate on the vent.
    I came here because Ethel is so damn bugged for me. I've spent the entire day to try get the hair but she never seem to want to fight and even with non-lethal attacks she just dies and there's never a dialogue.
    No dialogue option from the initial hut encounter seem to matter.
    ------------
    Edit here:
    So, turns out you have to wait a full round with her at low HP before she'll try to bargain.
    If you were lvl 5 before this encounter like I was (and the party setup I guess), you'll have a tougher time *NOT* killing her than actually doing it.
    Remove melee weapons (do unarmed) or be very careful. I managed to leave her at 9 HP and pressed skip turn on all my characters, and *THEN* she went to bargain, on her second or third round.
    Also, she never set fire to the cage, although I just went to the Orb with Gale and lowered the cage regardless, so that was never a problem. Also you don't need a spell for that, just throw a water flask... (if it did get set on fire)

    Yeah I am level 4 and I have no chance to bypass Auntie's minion in the masks in her first room. I have at least 1 dead character by turn 2 and usually 2 dead by turn 4, and I've used up most my spell slots. My attacks seem to do 2-4 damage IF I can hit, but I am pretty much immobile, terrified, on turn 1, so am a sitting duck and their attacks do like 12-18 damage - so 2 hits, 3 tops kills 1 of my characters. They seem to be able to cast spells and projectiles through the stone pillars, and I get a "blocked" message on about half my ranged weapon attempts. One of the enemy characters has a 20+ damage counter on any melee attack - so is pretty much an autokill vs any of my characters. I tried sneaking in, even with using a level 2 "Pass without trace" spell on my party, but it's impossible to get Astarion to launch a sneak attack before I am seen. At this rate, it feels like I need to be more like level 8 or 10 before trying this area.
