Save Vanra

Save Vanra is a quest in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by speaking with Lora in the Lower City.

Objectives

• Speak to Lora at Basilisk Gate.
  • Mayrina told us that a hag has kidnapped a child. The mother, Lora, can be found at Basilisk Gate. We should speak to her.
• Investigate The Blushing Mermaid.
  • At Basilisk Gate, we met a distraught Lora. She claimed her daughter Vanra is missing, and that she vanished when the pair were in The Blushing Mermaid. She begged us for help.
  • The Blushing Mermaid bartender told us that Lora was behaving strangely - she even pulled a knife on him. The owner of the tavern, Captain Grisly, had to throw Lora out. We should speak to Captain Grisly about it.
  • We spoke to Captain Grisly, who told us that Lora doesn't have a child - never did. She also claims Lora is a dangerous pirate who attacked her and her staff. The Captain has asked us to kill Lora, before she hurts anyone else. We said we'd think about it.
  • The cellar of The Blushing Mermaid looks just like a hag's lair. We need to speak to the owner, Captain Grisly, about this.
  • Mayrina was right about a hag being involved - The Blushing Mermaid's cellar looks just like a hag's lair. We need to speak to the owner, Captain Grisly, about this.
  • We found a note in The Blushing Mermaid addressed to 'Auntie' - a term for a hag. We need to speak to the owner, Captain Grisly, about this.
• Kill Lora.
  • We spoke to Captain Grisly, who told us that Lora doesn't have a child - never did. She also claims Lora is a dangerous pirate who attacked her and her staff. The Captain has asked us to kill Lora, before she hurts anyone else. We agreed.
• Report to Captain Grisly.
  • Lora is dead. Captain Grisly will be pleased.
  • We knocked Lora out, and now she's nowhere to be found. We should inform Captain Grisly.
• Fulfill the deal with Auntie Ethel.
  • Captain Grisly transformed - into Auntie Ethel! She was shocked and thrilled that we killed Lora for her. She admitted to eating little Vanra alive as she intends to transform the girl into a hag. We struck a deal with the hag - in exchange for leaving her alone, she will aid us in the fight to come.
• Find Auntie Ethel.
  • Captain Grisly transformed - into Auntie Ethel! She admitted to eating little Vanra alive as she intends to transform the girl into a hag. She fled, but not before claiming that if we kill her, we'll kill Vanra too.
• Save Vanra before killing Auntie Ethel.
  • We attacked Auntie Ethel, breaking our bargain with her.
  • We found Auntie Ethel hiding in the Blushing Mermaid cellar. We have to be careful - if we kill her, then Vanra will die too. There must be a way to save Vanra.
  • We found a book written by a woman who discovered a way to force a child out of a hag's stomach - without harming them. We need to craft something called the Hag's Bane and then throw it at the hag.
  • We found Auntie Ethel hiding in the Blushing Mermaid cellar. With the Hag's Bane, we can save Vanra.
• Check on Vanra.
  • While the hag was unconscious, we cut Vanra out of her stomach. We should make sure Vanra is all right.
  • We threw the Hag's Bane at Auntie Ethel, and it worked. She vomited Vanra up. We should speak to Vanra.
• Visit Lora and Vanra.

Vanra, shaken by what happened, could barely speak and ran away. She likely returned home to her mother. We should visit them.

• We couldn't save Vanra - she's dead.
• We saved Vanra, but with her mother gone she has no home to return to.
• Lora was grateful to us for bringing her daughter home. She thanked us with a small token.
• We left the Lower City behind - leaving Vanra to her fate.
• We kept our deal with Auntie Ethel and left Vanra in her hands. In return, Auntie Ethel will help us in the fight to come.
• We left the Lower City without killing Lora.
• We saved Vanra, but Lora is angry with us.
• Vanra, shaken by what happened, fled. At least she's safe from the hag.
