Mayrina dies anyway (spoiler alert)

[hagathina]

In the battle with Anut Ethel, I put the fire out, whereby on the next turn, the Witch blasts Mayrina out of the the cage at which point she just dies. Shadowheart puts the flame out on her first turn, so it's out almost immediately.

I've done the battle three times and each time this has been the result.

Is there any way to save Mayrina?

I mean why kill her in her house when you can have your main stat to 20 at level 4?

like I said, when i realized I was missing the hag's hair I started killing her in her dungeon, idk what you missed

Ya I think they were agreeing with u, and telling me that it's a bit silly to not get the item

Do the majority of people fight Ethel in her dungeon then? I just fight and kill her after she teleports Mayrina cause I piss her off and she just attacks

i used to kill her in her house until i realized i could get the Hag's Hair and get a stat increase so i started killing her in her dungeon

The optimal route is getting the hag hair then killing her in Baldur's Gate. Her story isn't done until Act 3 where you finally learn how to permanently kill a hag. Killing her in Act 1 does nothing as she can just come back from death easily.

I've never seen the hag try to actively Kill Mayrina, that sounds kinda funny tbh

Good info. I always (twice) killed her in her dungeon and both times I murdered her enough to not get her bonus.

i read it as being insulted cause im an angry individual who thinks irrationally until later

Doing enough damage to the hag forces her into her P2 trick and pulls her out of the cage automatically She forces her out of the cage and takes her form, giving you a "no shoot her not me!" scenario. Doesn't work since she keeps her stats and AC. There isn't any actual reason actually putting the fire out unless you're team has low damage output.

Heck, if you're extra fast, you can kill the hag in 2 rounds, turn on turnbase and just lower the cage before she burns.

First fight in EA was the most satisfying. She stood right in front of me and I sparta kicked her into the abyss. Lost loot, sure, but the fight was over before it even began.

[hagathina]

The hag attacks me right away, but as soon as I put the fire out, her next move is to blast Mayrina out of the cage. It's been every time, even though the fire is out by her second move. And as I said, I've even made it to the cage controls and used them, and still the result is the same - Mayrina blasted out of her cage onto the floor, where she is immediately dead. I've done the fight three times and it's happened each time.

I also tried to attack the hag in her teahouse to see if I could avoid the fight in the caves, and she just disappears into the caves before I can have a turn.

Oh well. I guess I'll have to try again and see what happens. Thanks for the hints everyone.

You have more than 1 turn to take care of the cage...jus take care of auntie ethel for a round or 2 and save meyrina when you've dealt some damage

[Littl3Diamonds]

If Mayrna was to die "anyway", you must be a genius writing it into the tread title and then adding "spoiler alert" ... IQ of a shoe...

Well i was going to wrap this in spoiler tags, but seems its open discussion.
Mage hand can activate the cage control, toss water at the cage to put out the fire. Gale casts magic missile at the three clones to kill them in one shot (no miss), this is important to keep them from casting hold person, or ray of sickness (poison) on your team. Everyone else attacks Auntie with whatever they can hit her with.

When she mimics Mayrina, examine both and shoot the 5th level one; that's Auntie
When she goes invisible, throw a flaming bottle at the position where her text shows she is laughing at you. *boom* she's on fire and no longer invisible. You get the last laugh.

I never had to fight the last four clones she summoned as she was burst down so fast to under 10 HP where she gave up. Once she reappears on fire (from the bottle above), Up cast magic missile to send 4 bolts at her that don't miss. You want her down or dead as soon as possible. The more rounds you spend fighting her and her clones, the greater chance you will lose the fight.

...do you want to save Mayrina though?

[Panda]

Why would you put the spoiler in the title?

You should put "character in act 1 dies regardless of what I do - Spoiler within"

Yes. Saved her and gave her the wand as well. Playing Chaotic good I suppose.
