Hag Cave - Removing the Masks not working?

[Larry Ohboi]

I was running through the Hag cave, seeing all those ppl crying for help while trying to kill me. I was able to knock them out one by one without killing them and taking their masks off. But despite they directly asking me to get rid of the masks, they still stay "crazy" and try to kill me as if having the mask still on

[Shadow♥]

hmmmm. i never tried that before. maybe send report to Larian to let them know because if you took their masks off and they are still hostile, it is either a bug or something Larian didn't think of.. i would think they should come out of hags spell if masks are removed so let Larian know. :)

[Larry Ohboi]

Did that now ^^, Still wondering if it was a bug in my "playthrough". Did anyone experience the same? Im sure a lot of ppl tried as the ppl literally say smth like" take my mask off".... :D

lol larian didn’t think about anyone trying this, that’s why.

Early access game. A lot of things need to be fixed.
I always defeat Hag in teahouse before entering into her lair.
After defeating hag, if you wear whispering mask, of course you get uncanny sight & Hag is already down so no need to worry about losing mind.
**Removing mask from pawns is unnecessary because masks should not work at all now. As Hag is no longer there in game & since you are wearing one & nothing happens.
Only three of Hag's Pawns are wearing masks except Halfling. Wonder how she removed mask while others could not.
Yet Halfling's true name is not shown & she appears as 'Mask of Regret'.
Only Mask of Vengeance becomes hostile if you try to talk with her. And even Halfling joins her. LOL

I Dont necessarily think the masks necessarily needs to loose powers just because the hag dies, But removing the masks from the ppl should work. I thought i might get some reward as it was very hard with my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up charackters to defeat them without killing :D And why should you be able to unconscious ppl and be able to see and remove the mask if it doesnt work. I guess it s supposed to make it easier to defeat the hag as the ppl start joining you to the fight? that would make sense at least

Hi Larry. I must explain further it seems.
Well I tried to save them by several different paths but it did not work.
Name of the mask is 'Whispering mask' through which you hear whispers of Hag & this is how she controls & commands those who wear it.
Every time she gives a command, pawns trigger wisdom check. After success in check they do not attack player & skip turn. Which means even if they are wearing mask, they still have some self-consciousness left.
Now the hag is down so they are free as no command or control left.
Scenario 2. If you defeat hag (where Mayrina is caged) after she summons her pawns, battle is finished & pawns no longer attack you. Halfling still thanks you but other two pawns disappear except Tiefling. LOL.
Early access game. It is one part of game, I am still waiting to be fixed after 3rd patch.

i really think it is something that they didn't think people would try and was overlooked. i think you should send Larian feedback and that way they will make it so you can do that because i know they have been working on trying to create situations where people dont use killing and they get rewarded for it so definitely give Larian feedback about what you tried. :)

Same problem here, we used a sleep spell, the mask "unlocks" in the inventory, but we can't remove it. The UI doesn't allow it, although it should absolutely be feasible.

It's the same here. The tree-door tried to prevent me from walking through it. So, before doing that, I just looked around to see if there are any other options. I found the masks on the table. I thought it might be a way for the tree to voluntarily open, like 'recognizing one of its own.'

Anyway, the process felt like a tutorial for what to do when you come across a masked individual. Then I enter the refuge and find many people with this particular... issue.

And then the disappointment that, although you put in a lot of effort to get the 'enemies' to the point where you can touch them, removing the mask doesn't accomplish anything. Larian could have done better with that... Especially since I'm not from the USA and probably instinctively tend not to react to every trouble with a weapon.

I knocked all of them and removed the masks and they died. Reloaded the save, let them alive, killed the hag, got back there they were still knocked, long rested and they vanished.

yeah same here

I killed her before she went into her lair, and several related quests are broken and the mask people are docile, but you can't talk to them, you can only shoot them. Also, Marina just repeats her angry dialog. The game also crashes when exiting her lair through the portal every time for me. I believe this area is SUPER buggy right now.

Glad to see this thread getting necroed, I can confirm knocking them out and then trying to remove the masks just kills them...

[Zmaj]

I am here because I knocked them out and when I remove mask they die. So stupid, I dont want to kill those ppl... Perhaps I load, ♥♥♥♥ them out and come back after I kill the evil witch? I'm gonna try that

[°Rß° Pingu]

Same here, Knocked one immediately took their mask off and they just die. I'm playing as a Paladin and really wanted to save the two Paladins.
