Baldur’s Gate 3: How to complete Save Vanra in BG3

In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Save Vanra quest sees you helping Lora, whose daughter Vanra is missing. Vanra was last seen at the Blushing Mermaid tavern, and you need to investigate her disappearance and track down her kidnapper.

As it turns out, Vanra was abducted by Auntie Ethel, a Hag and a powerful Fey, whom you first meet at The Hollow and trade goods with.

Before starting this quest, we recommend you go to Old Garlow’s Place to get the Hag’s Bane recipe, which you must complete and ties into the Avenge the Hag Survivors quest.

How to complete Save Vanra in Baldur’s Gate 3

To complete the Save Vanra quest in BG3, follow these steps:

• To begin the quest, speak to Lora at the Flaming Fist barracks north of the Basilisk Gate.
• Find the Hag’s Bane recipe in the Old Garlow’s Place. This task coincides with Avenge the Hag Survivors (Help the Hag Survivors).
• Brew the Hag’s Bane (Using Dried Fey Flower and any Essence)
• Go to The Blushing Mermaid, talk to the bartender, and enter the cellar.
• In the cellar, jump up to where the coins are.
• You must pass a perception check to find the hidden entrance in the hag’s lair.
• If you want to keep the captain and crew alive after the confrontation with Auntie Ethel, cast Protect from Good and Evil spell on one of your party members, wear the Whispering Mask, and walk past these minions.
• On the other side, you can lower the wall to let your whole team pass. 
• Go down the cellar, burn the mushrooms, and fight Ethel. Make sure to throw the Hag’s Bane on her so that she vomits up Vanra.
• Alternatively, you can use a non-lethal attack to knock out Ethel and save Vanra.
• Complete the quest for your reward.

Be warned: If you kill the Hag without extracting Vanra, she will die in the process, and you will fail the quest.
