Avenge the Hag Survivors

Avenge the Hag Survivors is a quest in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3. It can be started by speaking with Mayrina or the other hag survivors in Old Barlow's Place.

Objectives

• Search for the hag.
  • We disposed of a hag spy named Jatlo. Cold comfort for the hag's victims, who believe her to be in the city, and who want her gone.
  • We disposed of a hag spy named Jatlo. The hag's victims are led by a determined woman, Mayrina. Mayrina told us of her suspicion that this very same hag is likely to be found in Baldur's Gate, that her people won't know peace until she's destroyed.
• Confront Auntie Ethel.
  • We learned that Captain Grisly is none other than Auntie Ethel. She fled to the cellar - time to end this.
• Fulfil the deal with Auntie Ethel.
  • We learned that the woman named Quenora was merely a disguise for Auntie Ethel, the swamp hag. Rather than cross her, we agreed to an alliance. We stay out of her business, and in return she lends us her aid in our final conflict with the Absolute.
• Kill the hag once and for all.
  • We shattered our alliance with the hag by attacking her.
  • Hunting the hag into her lair, we stand face to face. Her power has grown. So has ours. Time to show her that.
  • We learned that Auntie Ethel can resurrect by being close to mushrooms called pearlspore bells. We'll need to burn those mushrooms, reducing them to embers if we're to have any hope of defeating the hag.
  • Auntie Ethel is unconscious. This matter is unresolved; a hag's memory is long, and she'll hunt us like some crazed hound if we don't kill her now.
• Tell the survivors the good news.
  • We defeated Auntie Ethel. We ought to give her victims the good news - this time of fear and doubt is at an end.
  • We came across an abandoned house. Lot of squatters there, kindly people gripped by despair. Evidently they're the victims of Auntie Ethel's many cruel plots and plans.
• The hag victims couldn't forgive us for hurting their leader Mayrina - now we share the same resentment they reserved for the hag.
• Rare to see such good cheer from a group of people so down on their luck. Still, good cheer is what we received in abundance when we told them of Ethel's defeat at our hands.
• The squatters in the abandoned house have gone.
• We left the Lower City before telling the hag's victims about our success. Still, they're free of her torment now, it may just take them time to realise that, and longer to accept it.
• We left the Lower City, and cannot return to put a stop to Auntie Ethel's designs.
• We left the Lower City behind. No way of ending Ethel once and for all now. However, we kept our end of the deal with Auntie Ethel, and the swampy old schemer will join us in our final battle with the Absolute.
