Can you save Mayrina?
I still can't save her, even after Hotfix 2. But I am doing it the lazy way - killing the hag while she's still in the teahouse, so I don't have to go through her lair. So has anyone killed her 'the proper way'? Did it work, or did Mayrina get stuck in the 1-st phase of her dialogue for you too?

EDIT: (Due to confusing wording in the OP)
I don't mean 'save Mayrina form her cage'. I mean, that if I kill the hag on the top floor (before she goes to her basement), I can not complete the quest 'Save Mayrina', because talking to her is meaningless. I talk to her, finish the dialogue and she stays around the table with the spoiled tart. Or if I let the hag teleport Mayrina, but don't allow the hag to follow her (by placing a warding glyph on the fireplace, so she'd get killed when she tries to escape), Mayrina stays around her cage and does not go to her husband's coffin.
Furthermore, the traps leading to the hag's 'workshop' (the gas pits and explosive flowers) do not get disabled AND Connor's coffin is surrounded by an Arcane Barrier, even after the hag's death.
Talking to Mayrina again just repeats the same dialogue ("You bastard! You ruined it!") over and over again, and does not progress the quest.

No such thing my friend. My warlock pc punted her into the void on the 2nd turn with an Eldritch Blast. Felt quite underwhelming and I didnt get the +1 reward but whatever its not that great.

I usually loot everything and found some water bottles on hand.
Threw a water bottle at the cage which stopped the fire.

When the hag split into 3 the next turn, I used spells which target multiple enemies, eventually found the real one.

My melee unit closed in and it was over.

Note: I was playing on Normal mode.
I had Detect invisibility on during the first part at teahouse.
Don't wear the mask to enter the secret area.

Even though you save Mayrina, its not glorious ending, play to find out lol.

Killing the Hag in the teahouse works, using water, (bottle or create water spell, Shadowheart has access to create water), or getting to the button before the bottom before it burns all works, you can get to the button without triggering combat by using an invisibility spell and sneaking to it.

Straight up just misty step to the controller. Use it. She'll be set free and won't burn.

You still have to be careful not attacking the wrong person when the hag uses here spell to mirror her appearance.

I confirm. I did like this on Tactician. After you release the girl, the hag loses her invisibility and just stands up there. You then can sneak up on her, rob her dry (useful if you choose to knock her out instead of killing her for that stat point as she will leave after the dialogue and you can't loot her), and backstab the ♥♥♥♥ out of her with all your characters in like half a turn (speed potions may be required).

I learned the hard way: Gust of Wind does put out the fire...

but it also launches her down the pit. So don't do that.

But yeah, bottle of water or ice spell.

I ended up using Ray of Frost, but be careful that it WILL do damage to the cage... so if it's already taken some damage, you might accidentally finish it off.

Then the fight was interrupted when the hag was almost dead. The girl was out of the case and the hag tried to haggle for her life in exchange for a +1 stat bonus.

i declined and finished her off and the girl was saved.

That +1 stat is worth way more than her but you can save her and get the stat if you pass the ability check lol.

Playing a Paladin. No deals with evil witches for some petty reward.

Become an Oathbreaker Paladin and take her deal. Just imagine how strong you could get to protect the weak~ Sure, controlling the undead sounds evil as a subclass, but it's not evil if you use it for good, right?

I think a lot of people misunderstood the OP. Anyways, I did get an answer to my question. It seems like I need to let the hag go to her cave before killing her, if I don't want Mayrina to glitch xP

Put the cage out, water or ice. Or use the lever to lower the cage and she escapes. Be careful using the ogre horn as they see her as an enemy and will kill her.

If you deal enough damage to the hag and run close to Mayrina before the hag teleports her away she will run out of the building, or at least will try to, which will lead to the hag teleporting alone and then when you follow the hag in her lair there you don't have the mayrina cage issue
