[Spoiler] Bye Auntie Ethel

mark this as a spoiler

I kept pushing her and harrassing her and ended up killing her with my last living party member who would have for sure does the next round. It was insanely fun and I loved the whole experience.

Shoved her off the cliff with eldridge blast + repelling blast invocation. I love that cantrip.
- NO! My loot! *hammers the F8 key*
What level does everyone kill her at? I tried after I turned level 3 while looking for the Goblin Camp but her minions fucked my shit up so I reloaded and helped the Tieflings instead.
- I think I did it at five. It was about the last thing I did before moving on to act 2. I started it at 2 or 3 and it was just too hard. By the time I went back I had the amulet that gives an extra magical missile and it trivializes it. I could just magic missile the clones and they'd instantly be gone. I probably could have done it the first time, but there was plenty of other things to do and the hardest difficulty is unforgiving.
- I hit level 4 right as I got to her hut. I did the whole thing without a long rest, but had a few lucky misses from enemies.
- I got her at lvl3 but it was close and the girl died.
- I completely missed her initially, only stumbled upon her by mistake after already having started Act 2 but going back to finish up side stuff in the Underdark and discovering the mushroom circle.
  
  I was level 6 at the time and so she did not put up much of a challenge.
- I think I did it at 4? Wasn't too difficult, until the last round where 3/4 of my party were Hold Person'd lol
- I totally missed her and found her at level 5 after doing a bunch of the underdark lol

I love this because Larian got wise to my shenanigans since the pre-release. I didn't think there was an easy way to keep her from retreating to her basement anymore

In the pre-release days

you could just corner her or block the entrance to the basement (after a successful perception roll) with your party or the environment and keep her trapped upstairs.
Looks like they have given her...misty step...if I remember correctly, so she'll just slip away into the basement if you're not able to put out enough damage in a single round

So the first time I killed her, it opened a dialogue where I could finish her off or let her escape.

The second time, this dialogue didn't go off and I have no idea why. I did nothing different.
