Killing Auntie Ethel AND getting the hair *spoiler*

[mattycoombes]

Im a paladin and want to get the hair and then kill her with another character. All the guides and Youtube videos say you can do this, but my entire party is sucked into conversation every time she gives up and tries to bargain. Is this something that was fixed in a recent patch?

You have to have whomever is going to attack Ethel to not have entered combat at all and then they need to be able to do enough damage to kill her otherwise they will get sucked into the conversation as well. This means you go into the fight with three people, not four. The fourth hangs near the entrance in Hide and once Ethel has 5 ~ 15 HP, blast the ♥♥♥♥ out of her from range.

It saves the other Masked people, and one of them joins Myrina in hunting Hags. Just a neat story flavor.

So i managed to leave one party member behind at the toxic gas, then get her to bargain, then swapped characters and killed her before she could run away. My journal updated that she is dead, however, my Paladin broke his oath regardless. Which sucked.

Bargain with her to get the hair then convince her to let the girl go too.

SPOILER SPOILER
Then in Act 3 you can kill her. You cant in act 1 anyway

This way you get the optimal result

You think you have killed her in Act 3, just like you thought you did in Act 1. We will never know for sure since Larian decided against releasing any DLC's for the game.

It will always break because of taking the deal. Even if you have someone kill her, doesn't matter, you accepted the deal which is against the Oath.

If you spare her, in act 3 when you find her again she can help in the final fight. You just have to kill a minor NPC.

Obviously evil path for Dark Urge.

I didn't know that. But how good is she in the final fight? Mizora sucks for it. I found that out.

How do you even swap character mid conversation?

Bottom left corner of the screen there is the character swap icon. It's hidden, usually, til you move your cursor there.
