Quick Answer
Ethel is dangerous because of confusion, clones, and hostage pressure, not only HP. Bring multi-hit tools like Magic Missile, protect Mayrina, identify the real hag, and decide whether the hair deal fits your run.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Before fight | Rest and bring anti-poison or control answers | Do not enter empty |
| Clones | Use cheap multi-hit attacks to test | Do not waste top slots on illusions |
| Mayrina | Watch cage and fire risks | Save before greed |
| Finish | Choose kill or hair deal intentionally | Balance roleplay and reward |
Key Checks
- Bring tools for invisibility and clones.
- In Honour Mode, do not spread beyond rescue range.
- The stat hair is strong, but not every roleplay path wants it.
