Where to find
After Auntie Ethel is weakened (below 20% Hit Points) and has a turn to act, she begs for her life and implores you to let her keep Mayrina and her baby, offering you power in return. The player has the possibility to intimidate or deceive Auntie Ethel to free Mayrina and get this power both, at the cost of letting Auntie Ethel go.
Notes
It is possible to obtain Auntie Ethel's Hair, free Mayrina, and also kill Auntie Ethel:
- Leave one party member hidden and out of combat, while the rest of the party whittle Auntie Ethel down to below 20% Hit Points (Check Sidenotes below).
- When the dialogue is triggered, successfully intimidate or deceive her to both give you the hair and free Mayrina, but do not end the dialogue.
- Switch to the out of combat party member. You will be shown the quest reward window that lets you choose which version (ability score) of the hair you want.
- Confirm the quest reward window, then finish off Auntie Ethel while she's still in dialogue with the other party members.
Sidenotes:
- This method does not work in a multiplayer game.
- As of Patch 3 she will no longer stay in dialogue while getting hit. It is advisable to lower her Hit Points down to one hit range because you only get 1 chance to damage her otherwise she will drag the out of combat character into the dialogue and escape.
