The way I brought Mayrina back to her brothers // Baldur's Gate 3

Hey, I have some exclusive gifts for you from "Watcher of Realms." Check out the video: https://youtu.be/E_kdoaSmkRE

I wonder if Larian see these videos. Have to imagine they're saying to themselves, ah fuk, why can't they just follow the storyline.

There is a third in lore option. Green hags are really good at illusion magic. The ethel with the brothers could be an illusion, kind of like how gale has a few cut scenes with an illusory simulacrum of himself (or rolan if he becomes owner of the mage shop)

Leave it to this game that makes people utterly forget that in the end, it's still a program with finite abilities. Maybe one day, in our lifetimes, every single NPC will be an autonomous little AI, but as of now: no, not a bug, just not coded, because at some point Larian devs would have turned into gibbering wrecks if they tried to cover every permutation players would try. What they did cover is already mind-bending, and makes me wonder if some of the devs are now sitting giggling in rooms with soft walls and very close fitted jackets. 😆

If you tell them you won't let them hurt Ethel, they'll attack. Switch to non-lethal and use melee attacks on them. Boom, saved.

That's some hilarious limit-testing, keep up bro !

With the brothers ethel dissapears in smoke like her mimics, i think it’s just that it is a mimic ethel.

Always worth chasing characters. If you upset Ethel in the Grove, she exclaims "I'm out of here." and runs off. If you are fast enough you can get ahead of her and stop her before she can escape the grove. I could not kill her, but I did have her "frozen" and was able to come back regularly to steal from her, time and time again. But once her image was encountered with the brothers, she vanished from the grove.

To save everyone and get the stat bosst just make it to the hag without beeing seen by the masks, then have shadowheart cast silence around where the hag appears in her lair and have astarion sneak araound the other side of the chasm separated from the ret of the party before you approach and start the fight. Then approach with Lae'zel or Karlach. The hag is silenced so she can't use her illusions or call the masks. If you positioned your tank and the silence bubble right the hag will leave the bubble at the end of every turn without using her magic and you can shove her back inside. Rinse and repeat until she's at ~10hp. Then and only then leave her outside of the bubble or the dialogue where she offers the stat boost wont trigger due to her beeing silenced. After you finnish negotiations for the boost switch to astarion and finish her of. Done. If you're using astarion you can even rob her before you kill her.

The brothers are actually at Sutton farms but have been turned into animals.

I was able to save the brothers by knocking them out siding with the Hag, it gave me a new dialogue line but she still cried like I killed them. I did this without resting during the hag mission as to not reset the knocked out brothers

Larian thought of... ALMOST everything.

We actually managed to knock the brothers out, and there was no option to say they were dead, but Mayrina still freaked out that they were "dead" even though they'd been saved.

6:30 if you're a sorcerer, this dialogue will also trigger

DOH! I never thought of looting or pickpocketing the masks to save them. Thanks for a really fun to watch (and informative) video mate :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:

Thank you for this, haven't been able to stop watching your videos since i stumbled onto your channel. You have some truly curious and well thought out ideas. This is gold, anyone that loves bg3 should see your work.

This was very well done. You put a lot of work into this and the video is very well edited. Nice job!

I love the game so much that I'm still having a lot of fun playing it every day. These types of videos are awesome because we get to see these mad ideas from someone else who is ripping the game apart pixel by pixel :). I won't be bored of it until I have finished the game as every class, race and multiclass combination possible which is probably tens of thousands of playthroughs.

This is awesome. Storywise I would say the multiple ethel's is because of her ability to make her seem like there are multiples of her from her fight where they each take actions but at a longer range. In our reality though the two of them is just a matter of how things are coded. Likely you could get all 3 of her that exist in the zone to be in existence at the same time because there are versions of her coded for each different point for their cutscenes and interactions.

These were great experiments! Poor brothers never had a chance.
