Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players shocked by brilliant but brutal Auntie Ethel move Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are both surprised and impressed after Auntie Ethel ended combat with a brutal but brilliant strategy. A Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player is sharing their shocking Auntie Ethel story after the character went out in a surprisingly brutal way. As shared by Reddit user Valuable_Ant_969, the hag\u2019s HP was low, near the point where she will stop combat and attempt to make a deal for her life. Since the player did not plan to accept, though, they cast Cloud of Daggers to take her out on the next turn. However, it seems Auntie Ethel was not done with her tricks, as the player explained what happened next: \u201cIt\u2019s not exactly clear in the combat log, but as best I can tell, she used her turn, the last action of her life, to Auntie\u2019s Trickery Mayrina into the CoD with her. I\u2019m gutted. I will not reload.\u201d Auntie Ethel deciding to take Mayrina with her rather than accepting defeat is pretty in character, but the brutality has players both shocked and impressed. \u201cGot to admit, that is impressive even if it sucked,\u201d said one commenter. \u201cNever trust a hag,\u201d said another. One went so far as to call this \u201cthe most lore [accurate] way for Ethel to die,\u201d with the hag using her last moments to deny the player a complete and decisive victory. Some even see this as another example of why Auntie Ethel is a standout villain among Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s great antagonists. \u201cAuntie might be the best villain in the game,\u201d said one player, with several others ranking her just behind the fan-favorite Raphael.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
