It is very important to take out Ethel's illusory copies as quickly as possible. Since the illusions can cast {{SAI|Hold Person}}, it is entirely possible for them to end up paralyzing the entire party. {{SAI|Magic Missile}} is a particularly effective counter to them since it can hit many of the illusions at once and any amount of damage is enough to dispel them. When playing on Honour Mode, however, spell use is heavily punished, so area-of-effect weapons become quite important, along with party members dual-wielding hand crossbows for extra shots. Even a lowly void bulb will dispel the illusory copies if it catches them in its pull. | It is very important to take out Ethel's illusory copies as quickly as possible.

A character with high movement speed (e.g. through {{SAI|Haste}} or {{SAI|Longstrider}}) with active {{SAI|Spirit Guardians}} will also make quick work of the clones without triggering [[Legendary Action: Weird Magic Surge]] multiple times.

Ethel's copies can be distinguished from the original by selecting "Examine" on them and looking for the feature [[Fey Life]]. This is granted by an item that the real Auntie Ethel is wearing ([[Tarnished Charm]]) which is not duplicated for the clones, so they do not have this feature. Another way is to check Ethel's clothing : the real hag has red clothes, while the clones have blue clothes. And yet another method is to pay attention to the turn order- the real Ethel will always be in the same spot in the turn order. | Ethel's copies can be distinguished from the original by selecting "Examine" on them and looking for the feature [[Fey Life]].
