Auntie Ethel appears to be an innocent and kind grandmother when you first encounter her near the Emerald Grove in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Act 1. Claiming that she\u2019s concerned about you, she\u2019ll say she has something at home that can help. But progress the game enough, and you\u2019ll find out that she\u2019s not as sweet as she seems. Many have already fallen victim to her \u2014 and what happened to them was far from pretty. Despite these past victims having been left to their tragic demise, there\u2019s a way you can save them. \u201cBarring the decapitated girl and the blind lady, which are just corpses, you can pretty much save all the victims from that Hag,\u201d mentioned a player in a Reddit thread. Assuming you passed the check to see the secret entrance to her lair, it\u2019s possible to use Arcane Lock to prevent her from leaving and trigger the fight against her victims when you follow her. The only problem is, according to some players, you\u2019d miss out on one significant loot when you do this: her Hair. Luckily, there\u2019s a trick for this that lets you save the victims and get her Hair, perfect for those running a good Tav playthrough. Here\u2019s what to do: Avoid killing the masks when you encounter them at the lair\u2019s entrance \u2014 use stealth or invisibility to get past instead. &#8211; Keep one character out of combat while you fight Auntie Ethel. &#8211; Chip her HP as low as you can without killing her. &#8211; Pass a check and select the Hair. &#8211; Switch your character to the one out of combat instead of continuing the dialogue. &#8211; Kill her stealthily. This has to be pulled off in one shot, or she\u2019ll just break her dialogue and teleport away. &#8211; Once Ethel is dead, you\u2019ll get her Hair, which gives you a +1 to a stat of your choice, and save her victims, including Mayrina. Some players claimed that you can also opt to knock the masked victims unconscious to avoid killing them. However, this only seems to be the case for the one that wants to be saved. Meanwhile, for the soul trapped in the mirror, breaking the mirror appears to free it \u2014 but you\u2019ll get a debuff in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 trick lets you save Hag\u2019s victims and still get her Hair Boon Larian StudiosIn Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, there\u2019s a way to save the Hag\u2019s victims in her teahouse and get her Hair Boon at the same time \u2014 which gives you +1 to a stat of your choice.
