False Hydra in the Game?

[Nella]

I finally reached Baldur's Gate and I met a woman who said her Daughter is missing, but no one seems to even recognise or remember she had a girl.

Am I about to step into a False Hydra Boss battle?

Kind of, it involves Auntie Ethel

I don't remember

A DnD monster, reckon it can steal memory, but I'm not too sure.

Anyway OP, no, you are not about to fight a FH, however I strongly suggest you investigate the safe in Mayrina's new home as the recipes required to pull this fight are in there.

Damn I wish that was the case.

False Hydras are a creature that sings, and causes everyone who hears its song to forget they perceived it.

Sort of reminds me of "The Silence" on Doctor Who.

The woman who says her daughter is missing is named Lora. The quest to save her daughter Vanra is called ... "Save Vanra". It can overlap with a related quest Help (and Avenge) the Hag Survivors.


Vanra is quite real, you will meet Auntie Ethel again to save her (as stated above), and the only reason people are doubting Lora is, as you've found, Ethel knows how to magically alter peoples' memories, and otherwise manipulate people. In particular, she wants to convince other people that Lora is crazy. And lying about a missing daughter, or what happened to her. In truth, Ethel - who is posing as Capt. Grisly in the Blushing Mermaid - ATE Vanra.
