It's far better to sneak up to the Control Orb or use Invisibility and lower it before the fight begins, so you only have to worry about killing Ethel. When you trigger the confrontation with the hag, she'll immediately set Mayrina's cage on fire and you'll have a limited time to get to the Control Orb to lower it and let her out. You'll find all sorts of loot here, including a powerful staff, an amulet, and a Mushroom Circle that will teleport you back outside if you want to camp and rest before this boss fight. Head north around the platform to find another mask door for that, or simply keep making your way down by jumping and avoiding traps to spot Mayrina in a cage.īefore you go too far forward and trigger the confrontation with the hag, you can actually sneak around to the right of the hole and into the Acrid Workshop. It's worth noting that there's an Underdark entrance near here if you want to unlock it. Jump through the waterfall and climb down the ladder.If you don't want them dead, toggle non-lethal damage in your Passives, though remember that most ranged attacks and magic are still lethal.

The most important item to grab is the Whispering Mask from the table, though don't put it on straight away. Now, there's a whole lot of stuff in this room, but most of it is just info about the hag's various victims and evil bargains.
