In this Baldur’s Gate 3 Save Mayrina Walkthrough, we will cover in detail the Save Mayrina quest that is available in ACT 1 of BG3.
Save Mayrina quest is part of Act 1 in BG3 and in traditional dungeons and dragons fashion, you are going to face a number of crossroads where a single choice can change the entire outcome of the story. This quest is available in the Sunlit Wetlands, where you’ll see two brothers quarreling with Auntie Ethel, accusing her of kidnapping their sister. Upon intervening in the quarrel you learn that Auntie Ethel is, in fact, lying.
It is now up to you to help the poor brothers and save their sister from Auntie Ethel. After you finish the dialogue, the Save Mayrina in BG3 quest should show up in your quest log. The following Baldur’s Gate 3 Save Mayrina walkthrough is going to outline each and every choice you have to make to save the girl from the hag. How to save Mayrina from Auntie Ethel in Baldur’s Gate 3
To start the “Save Mayrina” quest in BG3, you must take the path leading to the Sunlit Wetlands through the Blighted Village. Along the road, you witness a quarrel between two men and an old woman by the name of Auntie Ethel.
At this point, it is better to choose to side with the two men against Auntie Ethel. The old lady disappears shortly after, and the men who seem to be brothers, explain that she had taken their sister, Mayrina, captive. With that, the Save Mayrina quest will be started. Even if you take side with Mayrina’s brothers, they will still end up dead later in the quest while pursuing Auntie Ethel.Speak to Ethel
Now, you need to go to the Riverside Teahouse where you’ll see another cutscene. Auntie Ethel will tell Mayrina to finish her food as she is pregnant and needs to take a proper diet.
By this point, you will have the option to tell Mayrina about the encounter with her brothers. If you choose to do so, Ethel turns hostile on the spot and eventually teleports away, along with Mayrina. You must go through the fireplace to follow them and continue through the quest to save Mayrina in BG3.
If you, however, decide not to tell the pregnant girl about her brothers, Ethel will not turn hostile at the moment. However, she will still teleport away with Mayrina. At this point, Ethel also offers to remove the parasite in your eye in exchange for one of your eyes – which isn’t necessarily a great option to pick.
All of your companions will disapprove of the idea, and even if you approve, the old hag would not be able to do it as it is tainted by strange shadow magic.Reach the Basement
After whatever decision you make, the Hag teleports Mayrina out of the room. If you roam around the fireplace area, you will figure out that it’s an illusion, and there’s a passageway behind it.
Go through the fireplace to reach the old hag’s basement where she will reveal her true identity. There are other people trapped in that basement as well. You can even interact with them to learn more about Ethel by using the “Speak with the Dead” spell.
