Saving the masks in witch hut?

[['w']]

I only did ~ 80 damage to the witch and she retreated to her cave.

Now I try to sneak around the masked enemies but when I jump through the waterfall they hear me and battle starts, eventhough they don't follow me and resist the urge to attack as long as they can't see me.

Did anyone manage to spare them, because knocking them ko, especially the mask of vengeance with his riposte, it's very hard to down non lethal.

I have a similar issue. I knocked them all unconscious, killed the hag in her lair down below but now they just lie on the ground with 1 health. I can see a 'dialogue icon' when I hover over them but the dialogue doesn't start. I wonder if it's too late to save them.

Did you loot them? Taking of the mask?

I killed them all now.

[Bugg]

Even if I loot everything from them now they do not wake up. Sad.

You have to kill Ethel before she runs away on the first encounter in her hut. I got lucky and hit a Crit on her that took out most of her HP.
But to delay it, you can also use things that freeze enemies in place like Command: Halt

Even then, the only one you can "save" is the Mask of Regret, the other 3 masks will just tell you that they want Auntie

And on a last note, knocking enemies unconscious makes no difference in terms of the game's code. Whether you knocked out an enemy or killed them, the game considers them dead.

How does it even work, does one need to deal all damage with a melee weapon on non lethal or can you damage them to 1hp and then use non lethal?

[KhaoticSpring]

So dumb, you should be able to wake them up even without killing Ethel at the very start. I don't see the point of a non lethal "knocking them out" otherwise.

Even though they were being willed into it, I killed them out of self defense and as they screamed no don't hurt our guests, I agreed with them and filled them full of blades.

Ah, welp. I can at least recover 160 exp from them now. Thanks.

I summoned little demon and started a fight with masks. At this time my party sneaked to Ethel. She summoned them but they still fighting with deamon in their room. But when I kill witch, they teleport to fight me.

Updated.
Start fight with masks by deamon. Squad sneaks to Ethel. Before killing her, make deamon disappear. Kill Ethel and then everybody happy. I used barrels with gunpowder

"Did anyone manage to spare them, because knocking them ko, especially the mask of vengeance with his riposte is very hard to down non lethal."

What do you mean by this?
Fight was complete joke for me i didn't even bother to remember. I think i 1 shoted each of them
There is a skill in passive tab which you can turn on/off on demand. And once turned on your attacks becomes non-lethal but your damage doesn't lower at all. It stays identical as if it isnt turned on.
You will absolutely also need this when fighting witch , at one moment witch will mask her the girl to appear as her. Turn on Non-lethal passive and just hit who-ever. If u made mistake it wont kill the girl , just knock her out

P.S
DO NOT REMOVE MASKS from unconscious people, they will die on the spot. Kill witch first, then remove masks.
I was lvl 4 when i did the quest. Fight was barely mediocre for me

[GrimAtrament]

the witch summons them for her fight even if you sneak past them also don't do the hag quest till you are level 8 she literally has simulacrum for some reason making her fight almost impossible.

I killed hug in 1 round with explosive barrels, and have same problem - masks hostile, even though they won't attack me. Looks like its a bug and death of hug dont trigger script for them.

Huh, its bug - but can be "fixed". The same as speak dead with someone you killed, except illusions dont work - just take someone from camp, who doesnt kill hug. This "clean" character could speak with them.
