* 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).
If you are a [[Paladin]], taking the deal will break your Oath.

"Auntie Ethel's boon" appears in the character's Notable Features section after consuming it.
 
Prior to Patch 6, there was a known bug where, if [[Auntie Ethel's Hair]] was in the player's inventory when the [[Owlbear Cub]] appeared at camp for the first time and the player fed the cub, the cub would automatically "eat" [[Auntie Ethel's Hair]] instead of any camp supplies. The hair would disappear from the player's inventory.
 
A unique interaction can happen if playing in [[Honour mode]] when the player is making their dialogue [[Skill Check|skill check]]. If any spell is used for the check, like [[Guidance|guidance]] for example, [[Auntie Ethel]] will trigger her legendary action, [[Legendary Action: Weird Magic Surge|Weird Magic Surge]], which will create an illusory duplicate. This action will throw the player out of the dialogue and into combat once more. Even if the skill check succeeded, no reward will be given to the player and the dialogue cant trigger again.
 
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]]'s [[Hit Points]] down to a range where the next hit will guarantee a kill. (Check Sidenotes below).
* When the dialogue is triggered, successfully [[Intimidation|intimidate]] or [[Deception|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.

* 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.
* It is recommended to get her [[Hit Points]] down as low as possible because you will only get one chance to attack her, otherwise the out of combat character will be dragged into the dialogue and she will escape.
* This method might not always leave a corpse to be looted {{Verify|Does it still have a chance}}
