Auntie Ethels masks hostile after I kill her
So I managed to kill her in the tea house, went down below and I cannot talk to the masks at all, just have the attack command but I understand I can save the Mask of Regret but no way to speak. I am wearing the mask but it doesn't help. They don't attack me but are only targetable

While this isn't a fix its a workaround: I killed Ethel before she got to her lair and I found all the masks hostile. I put masks on my party and still had a sword when targeting.

I was able to save the regret mask by clicking on the ground near her, as my character is running toward her I click on the mask of regret with the greyed out sword (as though to attack) before my character comes to a stop and it started dialogue instead of hitting her.

I knocked them out, came back after killing Ethel, and they were all dead. I was kind of hoping I'd be able to talk to them.

It's not that kind of game. Kill everything, loot, rinse, repeat. find switch to open door, kill everything, rinse, repeat...

There is so little else you can actually do in this game, it does not offer or react to choice in general, except for mainline quest choices about who you side with in bigger conflicts...

It's just not that kind of game where quest resolution other than 'kill everything' is anticipated or supported by the writers.......

It is specifically stated in several places they should turn non-hostile once Auntie Ethel is dea d and that you can "save" the mask of Regret (not the other masks) yet for me it's not triggering. It could be becaue I killed Auntie Ethel too quickly (Go Sorc burst damage) so she never got to escape.

Sadly this :/ the game expects you to kill anything and everything which is lazy

I have avoided plenty of fights. Even recruited a trio of Ogre's to help be my muscle

No this isnt true at all lol. If you kill Ethel and wear the mask they are not hostile anymore, you can talk to the mask of regret. I just did that and saved her. And there are other ways to if you dont wanna kill Ethel either.

If you find yourself having to kill everything in the game you clearly missed the optional routs

Then the game bugged for me. I killed Auntie Ethel in the tea house before she escaped. Then went into her lair, put on the masks but I could not talk to the 4 masked people, I only had the attack option which was a shame. So I had to murder them all to at least get xp.

Sorry to hear, that must be a bug since that didnt happen to me and I killed her before she teleported to.

Man, I did something similar too.

I examined them, and saw they were under a spell from their mask. So I weant into the settings and was like, ah, I see, this is probably why we have that non lethal passive for.

SO i turned that on, went through that whole fight, not using spells, and ranged weapons and knock them all out which made the fight a lot harder than it needed to be, only for them to die immediately when i took their mask off.................

In early access you could spare them though. The gnome had dialogue but the others were too far gone, crazy though not hostile

Someone metioned ogres and if you fight them you can take the crown I think, don't know if the loot random or not. So the crown thing will boost INT for the wearer and it's 17!!!. Anyway I wanted to know how to get inside the secret door in the lair where the hag is teleporting away from you. I can deal 0 damage to this door. Anyone knows?

can you rotate into the pathway?


else wear one of the welcoming masks for a very very short time or else you will be controlled, if all wear it, game over. this should let you move through the door.
