"Save Mayrina" Bug

[AdeptNeko]

Fix the bugs with this quest already. These bugs were found back in 2020. The quest is impossible to finish. If Ethel is killed in the house, Mayrina just stands after the dialog in the last room. Ethel can be invisible in the last room. After Ethel's death, Mayrina may refuse to speak at all. The coffin continues to remain under a magical barrier.
Why are the bugs from 2020 still in the game?

The first time I did this quest, I was in a co-op party and my friend bugged the quest at the end by releasing Mayrina from her cage with Mage Hand prior to the final battle with the hag. This caused the hag to use Mayrina as a decoy and bug out if you knock her out (dont do this, she dies anyway after you rest).

On my second playthrough I waited til I hit level 5 (for the extra martial attacks) then went to the bog. If you located one of Mayrina's brothers (near the redcaps, sacrificed on a slab, can use speak with dead for extra roleplay fun) you can tell Mayrina about this and trigger the fight with the hag with Mayrina on your side.

Enter the hag's hut from the rear side in stealth and position your characters how you want. Unhide the character you want to initiate dialogue with and tell Mayrina you have bad news. She turns on the hag in anger and the hag will teleport Mayrina to her cage and transform. At level 5 its easy to kill the hag in the first round.

With the hag dead, go through the fire place and descend into her cellar. Pick up the creepy masks (I use them to block the noxious gas vents).

Pass through the fake doorway and ignore the four mind controlled people, they shouldnt attack you if you killed the hag.

Descend towards Mayrina's cage by throwing a mask on each vent and disarm the exploding flowers. The reason for this is the first time I did this i missed a trap and Mayrina did a gorgeous georgina moment from Blackadder Goes Forth ("And before i shouted 'dont step on a mine!'... she trod on a mine... and as she went rocketing up into the air...")

Release Mayrina from her cage and talk to her. She should thank you now she knows the hag killed her brothers. Let her go to her husband.

Go into the back room and find the wand with her husband's name on it. Take anything else you want and jump into the mushroom circle.

Now decide what you want to do at the coffin :D

You can also go back into the cellar and speak to the people now no longer cursed. No clue if this results in much, it's another one of those "come see me in Baldur's Gate later" moments that Act 1 is full of.

I have the same bug.

not sure what your talking about it. ive done the quest on 2 guys to far and both worked fine

"I threw 2 balls on the hoop and hit twice. It's impossible to miss"

That's not how it works, especially in much complexer environments like software with countless variables.

Same problem. This was a bug back in Early Access too, as you said. You can't even fix it by speaking to the dead and getting additional information from Ethel to convince Mayrina she was an idiot. You can still get the locket, but she won't go to the coffin out back, even when you've got the quest item to "Help Mayrina."

Yep, same situation. She was all angry at me, and then I told her the truth from speaking to the dead, and then she offered the reward. I turned it down, but next time I spoke to her she was still angry at me. I pick pocketed the locket off her and it's just stuck. Can't get to the coffin and the quest is incomplete.

I'll wait it out a bit and hope they fix it, but disappointing that it's still the same type of issue as in EA.

I hope they don't fix it by having it so that the hag always escapes as soon as you attack her. You should be rewarded for a successful gank.

I re-did the fight as well, as I couldn't talk to her first after killing the hag, maybe because I didn't tell her that the hag killed her brother or breaking the dialogue backstabbing the hag while her focus was elsewhere. Due this, Mayrina sees US as the monsters, and the quest seems to bug out.

On my second attempt, I told her that her brothers were killed, I let the hag flee, because she would regain her health anyway. Sent Astarion with an Invis-Potion and some crates throw, to make the way clear for Mayrina later. Snuck into the back area to activate the shroom circle, so I wouldn't have to fight the Mask-wearers. Sadly, the hag summons them into the fight and the fight was harder than before, I still managed to kill her, though the mask-wearers kept fighting... switched to knocking out and removed their masks. I read this won't do anything though, and they will still keep making wis-saves and fight you. At least Mayrina now talked to me and I could finish the quest.

I killed the hag in the teahouse b4 she could teleport, Mayrina is sitting in the chair and the magical barrier is still around the coffin so cant progress.

Same issue.

[Kinneas]

Same. BLEW UP the hag and it did not remove the barrier from CONNOR'S coffin.

My issue is I can't talk to Mayrina after the quest is finished (to finish the final objective tied to the wand)

Same issue! I killed the hag, went through the mushroom circle, and May is no where to be found

This bug did not trigger in patch 9 atleast, i killed her before she transformed or teleported myrina away and could still interact with the casket. So was suprised that it happened on full release.

The mindcontrolled ppl wearing the masks are all hostile to after, which they never where after i killed the hag before she teleported.

+1
Still broken as of August 18, 2023.

Had hoped the recent patch would fix, as it advertised "Over 1000 bug fixes!"
It didn't.

[Borgo]

Same issue here, killed the hag in 1 turn, got the Bitter Divorce but can't use it because the barrier on the coffin is still up

[jhughes]

It is bugged out IF..
You don't tell Mayrina that the Hag killed her brothers before the fight starts.

If you do tell her, then it works fine.

I figured this out on my latest playthrough. I failed 2 times before.

Also have some bugs with this quest. Knocked Mayrina out on accident, as verified by the quest log. Killed Ethel. Got the wand. Healed Mayrina. She was still knocked out so I did a long rest. Quest updated and said she died, but she's nowhere to be seen. Ok....
Went and picked up the wand, went to try and rez Connor...but he ended up in my inventory?! The MAN?! And I can't use the wand! So now I have both in a box in camp because idk what to do with this lol.

[Noxyba]

Chiming in here to say I have the same bug, but I can't even reload to fix it. No matter how far back I load, I can't even talk to Auntie Ethel or Mayrina in the teahouse. They keep repeating their ambient dialogue and not acknowledging my existence. So I tried to advance the quest by making Ethel / the hag hostile, played through the rest of the quest normally, but Mayrina still just yells at me for ruining everything, doesn't move, the game won't acknowledge that I have the wand, and the ward stays active.

Extremely frustrating.

[a.out]

Seems they broke the quest for good. Can't even enter her lair through the chimney anymore. Says "can't go there" even after breaking the illusion and after she went through.

edit: jumping fixed it.
