Notes
This stat increase appears to be uncapped, taking effect after other items/bonus' that raise stats to a capped amount.
Prior to Patch 6, there was a known bug where, if Auntie Ethel's Hair is in the player's inventory when the Owlbear Cub appears at camp for the first time and the player feeds the cub, the cub will automatically "eat" Auntie Ethel's Hair instead of any other camp supplies. The hair will 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. If any spell is used for the check, like guidance for example, Auntie Ethel will trigger her legendary action, 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 intimidate or 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.
- Confirm the quest reward window, then finish off Auntie Ethel while she's still in dialogue with the other party members.
Sidenotes:
- This method does not work in a multiplayer game.
- 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 [Needs Verification]
- In co-op only the host gets the bonus characteristics point.
- If you are a Paladin, taking the deal will break your Oath.
