As battle begins, there area few things to note:
There is an alternate way to save Vanra.
Before this patch, this method was bugged and knocking Ethel unconscious would result in Vanra’s death.
Patch 5 also ensured thatHag’s Bane will always be effective on Auntie Ethel.
Chain Lightningcan be an extremely useful spell here, hitting the mushrooms and bouncing between multiple enemies.
This can serve a dual purpose of destroying the mushrooms while revealing Auntie Ethel’s true form.
She will flee from the battle and be immune to the attacks of any lingering enemies in the room.
If you do not have Hag’s Bane, you canattack Auntie Ethel with Non-Lethal Damagetoggled.
This will knock Auntie Ethel unconscious.
