== Act One ==
 
=== In the Druid Grove ===
Auntie Ethel can be found in the [[The Hollow]] in the [[Emerald Grove]], peddling "Potions and Lotions" to the [[Tiefling]] refugees. She's able to spot that something is off with the party and invites them to visit her at her home, the [[Riverside Teahouse]].
 
* While in the Emerald Grove she is also a trader. If the party reaches the [[Sunlit Wetlands]], Auntie Ethel moves from the Emerald and will appear in the Wetlands, and then eventually at the Teahouse.
* If you interact with [[Pandirna]] in the storage house next to the Emerald Grove jail, she will tell you Auntie Ethel gave her a potion to make her "strong and brave as a bugbear," but it left her paralyzed instead. Following this interaction, Auntie Ethel will no longer be at her hut in the Emerald Grove.
* If successfully pickpocketed while in the Emerald Grove she will exclaim "Blast it all! I'm going home." and leave the area. This will also happen if she is attacked. She then heads home to the Riverside Teahouse.
 
=== In the Riverside Teahouse ===
{{SpoilerWarning}}
When the party arrives at this location, Auntie Ethel can be found forcing [[Mayrina]] to eat. If the party takes Ethel up on her offer for help, she will attempt to remove the [[Tadpole]] before stopping and declaring the Tadpole modified by ancient Netherese magic. The price for her help is to give up an eye to her, which she refuses to reverse despite failing to cure you.
 
Allowing Auntie Ethel to take your eye changes the appearance of one eye of your choice and gives you [[Paid the Price (Condition)]]. You cannot take this deal if [[Volo]] has already replaced one of your eyes or if you are playing as [[Wyll]].
 
If the party takes her up on her offer, initiates combat, or attempts to infiltrate down into her lair, the [[Overgrown Tunnel]], Auntie Ethel will reveal her true form: that of a Hag.
 
== Act Three ==
 
=== In the Blushing Mermaid ===
Even if killed in Act One, Auntie Ethel will reappear in her Hag form during the [[Help the Hag Survivors]], [[Avenge the Hag Survivors]], and [[Save Vanra]] questlines. She can be found posing as Captain [[Grisly]] in [[The Blushing Mermaid]] in [[Lower City]]. Her lair is located under this tavern and can be infiltrated through the basement.  It is revealed that she is functionally unkillable while her life force is invested in her magic mushrooms, which is how she survived being killed during Act One.  If killed previously, she's more hostile with the party, preventing the party from demanding a counter-offer to leave her alone.  This does not prevent her from being acquired as an Ally for [[Gather Your Allies]] if Lora is killed and Auntie Ethel is left alone, however.
 
* It is recommended that you begin the Save Vanra quest by speaking with [[Lora]] prior to completing the Hag Survivors questlines and defeating the Hag. Failure to get this quest from Lora directly, even if Vanra is saved, will lock you out of its quest rewards.
