The Hag boss fight is amazing !

[soul like that be capable of]

I decided to go and save the girl and kill the hag in the process. oh boy she is rough .
some tips for those who decide to do it under level 5
1st after i killed her group outside of house i drink from the well. it added 10hp to each of my heroes.
2nd do not wear mask near the tree entrance. you can just pass through it . it is fake door .
3rd disable traps and have healing before going into hag lair.
4th you must have alot of magic to deal with her copies.
5th make sure you lower the cage as soon as u can to save girl
6th you must have a healer in your party and alot of magic missiles or some form of range magic or arrows

she does the copy things x2 times. and 1 time copy into the girl .

I was able to lower her to under 10hp so she gave me an option , still choose to kill her after couldnt do roll to get both rewards.
And ending to this verison of the quest i leave to you . it is nasty ending , i have a feeling you might see her again

I love the hag fight, it's always a fun battle. Also, did you take the time to speak to the survivors insider her place? One of them mentions that there are more hags out there; that would be awesome if we get to kill the rest of her coven. Of course, that could just be flavor text and high wishing on my part.

Only person that i didn’t killed was guy outside the wooden door. Other 4 people before hag attacked me so I had to kill then . Is he back to normal & can talk now ? Ya that would be great to fight more or maybe understand her magic more .

One of the people wearing her masks still has their senses and you can talk to her. Also a couple of her "prisoners" can be rescued (a dwarf and an elf I think). They have interesting commentary; the dwarf's situation especially shows how cruel the hag was to people.

Oh people right before the door . Wonder what happened to person stuck in the mirror. Going to comeback to explore

Top tips:

There's a cantrip or L1 spell that creates water/rain. It's super handy for putting out the fire in the prisoner's cage, which buys you more time.

Spray your magic missiles to quickly eliminate which Hags are real vs. fake.

If all else fails: you can shove her to her death, but no loot for you if you win that way.

We presume she doesn't scale with level, so you can just avoid that entire area until you are L5 or later if you want.

Once you get the fight down its not difficult. I would suggest not killing her though. once she gets low enough she'll start a dialog with one of the characters and she'll offer you a +1 to any stat you want.

Easy way to prep the fight, If you have a spell like Magic Missile you can break the clones really easily. When she disguises herself as the girl you can check their stats and the Hag will have a higher AC. So you can just attack that one. If you don't want to do that since its kinda cheesy you can wait for her to attack because she will attack in that form. So then you can just retaliate.

Make sure you keep the girl alive through the whole fight. She wont attack her so the best bet is to either put out the fire or release her from the cage. You can do that by dashing up there first turn or using something like Misty step.

If You have a Druid in your party Moon beam becomes premium since it deals damage on turn and when they enter the beam so you can drop it on a clone and break them regardless if they save or not. Wizards, Sorcerers, Eldritch Knights, Arcane tricksters all get Magic Missile which also works but resource efficiency is key.

Melee Is really lousy in this fight, but whose really surprised by that? Sure you can do a lot of damage if you get close to her because of her low AC but that'll likely have you spending multiple turns dashing around the pit and its honestly not worth it. use Range, its far superior.

If she goes invisible you can break her out of it with faerie fire or even create water.

I haven't tested out Silence against her but I'm sure that'd be fantastic in combination with something like Web to just lock her in place and easily finish the fight.

Honestly I hated the boss fight, but it might've been due to karmic dice, since when I last played EA, I didnt know what that was. I ended up stuck in a "You missed" simulator until I gave up and uninstalled. Full playthrough will hopefully go better lol.

You finish the final fight against Auntie Ethel in one round. If you have Lae'zel or if your main character is a fighter. And even if you are below level 4.

It should hopefully as there will be an easy mode. Explorer will be the one you want. Balanced is the same normal difficulty forced in EA.

I did hear that, but I hope that difficulty can be changed mid playthrough. I liked every fight other than her as I recall, and I wouldn't want any of them to be easier, just places where I get stuck lol.
