How to save all the victims in the witch's house in Baldur's gate 3?

[Stepan L.]

So question is next: is there any chance to save those poor victims of our dear witch Auntie Ethel? Those can be found straightly after you pass the house of the
witch and that fireplace . One man is just petrified/stoned, another prey is just without head, third is inside the mirror 🪞, forth is constantly foreseeing his future.
Is there any chance I can save those people?
Thanks in advance 🙌

there is a potion to cure petrified status, dont know where to find it, but if you find it you can try using it, don't know how to help the rest though, Auntie did a good job of helping them on her own ;)

I could help a few of those people. Those in mask , you need to kill and confront the hag before going to the lair.

Think the man seeing his future can be saved by killing auntie ethel.
The dwarf i don't think so, he's voluntarily petrified for a reason that comes into play seconds after you bring him back.
You can save the guys in masks by knocking them out/avoiding them but you don't see them anywhere later so i'm not sure it matters.

There are four people including Mayrina who can be helped. The rest are doomed.

Killing AE is necessary for three of them. Basilisk Oil will work for one of them. (It can be found early in the "apothecary" "basement" in "Moonhaven". There are other places, too.)

Note that there is an intended flow to dealing with AE and Mayrina. There are ways to get around it, but it can cause problems trying to help everyone.

For those in masks you need to kill aunt ethel not in the lair but house. And second run with the hag, avoid the people in the mask when going against the hag and go kill her and then talk to her.

You can kill AE in her lair, but the trick is getting past the Masks without aggroing them. The method the game thinks you should try is downright dangerous and game-ending unless you leave everyone else at camp and get an item from an unexpected ally to block Charmed (as I doubt anyone has enough spell slots of the right level or found enough potions of the right kind at this point in the game to cover a party of 4). This method also temporarily turns off nearby traps on the way to AE (which killing her in her lair turns them all off permanently).

You can bypass the room with masked guys and poison by going through the underdark straight into her room the back way.
But like i said the masked guys seem to be just random npc's and you don't interact with them later for anything special.

Okay, thank you guys,I will try to see what can be done 👌

It is kind of hard to kill the hag at level 5/6 in her lair. Without anyone to backup your 1 guy,

dwarf can be saved only if you kill ethel, one of the mask also can be saved by either bypass them using stealh/fog/darkness or put them sleep then kill ethel. sneak thru ethel and unlock the quick way to have easier ambush battle against her (if you have silence or blossom it will help tremendously so ethel wont summon the mask guy you want to save)
mirror gotta something to do with greater restoration or dispel curse or breaking the mirror cant remember
no idea on the head girl

all of the above for the price of ethel hair

Not really, if you can sneak past them or kill ethel in the house before she's able to teleport you can also free them.

YOu can also wear the masks if you cast protection from good and evil on yourself

I said lair the underground portion of Ethel tea house. The house in my opinion is not the hag lair. For act 1 confrontation with the hag.

nope that dwarf is dead, the reason he's been turned to stone is to stop a disease he has contracted...the second you remove his stone condition he says something along the lines of "why did you revive me without the cure?" and then dies...so just killing AE or using basilisk oil to turn him back from stone does nothing for him really.
MAYBE there's a cure in the game somewhere but regular healing spells don't work.

The disease only exists as long as the hag is alive.

In other words, dont make deals with hags. Kill em.

Really...that kinda janky logic then, since the disease is known to have no cure and a disease being a disease it would normally be assumed it would require an action to be cured rather than a lack of one due to the person dying.
Like if it was a hex/curse i'd understand but that's different from an existing disease.
