Obtained by completing the Save Vanra side quest in Act 3. Rescue Lora's daughter, Vanra, from Auntie Ethel inside the basement of the Blushing Mermaid Tavern to get this legendary rapier. |
Duellist's Prerogative is a quest reward for the Save Vanra questline. To begin this side quest, head over to the Basilisk Gate Barracks and speak to Lora. You can find her confronting the Flaming Fist captain about the disappearance of her daughter. Offer to help her find Vanra to begin the quest.
Your next stop is the Blushing Mermaid. Once you reach the tavern, ignore everything else and make a beeline for the basement. In the basement, quick save first before jumping on top of the barrel to your right. This should start a DC15 Investigation Check. If you pass the Invesitgation Check, you will reveal an illusionary wall that leads into the Hag's Lair (if you fail, you can just walk through the wall).
With our investigation done, we'll now need to find a way to resuce Vanra before confronting the Hag. Since Auntie Ethel is keeping Vanra in her stomach, we need to find a way to get her to vomit out the child.
The key to saving Vanra lies with Mayrina who we saved earlier in the game. Look for her inside a rundown house at the south of the city called Old Garlow's Place. Speak to the Hag Survivors inside and find a way to dispel the curse on Mayrina (who is currently polymorphed into a sheep).
To receive the recipe for the Hag's Bane grenade, you will need to eithe ruse Remove Curse on the sheep to cure Mayrina or expose Jatlo the Dragonborn as a traitor. Regardless of your choice, Jatlo will transform into a redcap that you have to defeat in order to progress.
An easy way to reveal Jatlo's treachery is to pickpocket him. Obtain the Note from him and read it (later turns into the Hag Spy's Note). This allows you to confront and expose Jatlo for the traitor that he is.
Follow Mayrina's instructions and obtain the book that contains the recipe for Hag's Bane in the house's wall safe. Read it before crafting a Hag's Bane potion using the ingredients provided to you.
With the Hag's Bane grenade in hand, return to the Blushing Mermaid to confront Auntie Ethel. Go through the illusory wall in the basement and sneak your way into Auntie Ethel's lair (beware of traps). Since you killed Jatlo, you should have the key that opens the way into her lair.
To get Auntie Ethel to spawn in, destroy one of the Pearlspore Bells inside the arena (blue mushrooms). Since these regenerate 100 HP at the end of their turn, the only way to destroy one before combat begins is to attack it in Turn-Based mode.
Once battle begins, you will need to throw the Hag's Bane grenade at Auntie Ethel. You will know it hit if the status condition Nauseous appears above the hag's head. On hit, Aunti Ethel will puke out Varna, allowing you to throwdown with the now vulnerable hag.
During the fight, she will use her old tricks, summoning body doubles and masked helpers to combat your party. Prepare to defend against mostly Poison and Psychic attacks.
Before you kill Auntie Ethel, you will first need to take care of the remaining Pearlspore Bells in the arena (there should be 2 left if you destroyed one at the start). As long as one of these mushrooms are up, the Hag will keep resurrecting upon hitting 0 HP.
Once Auntie Ethel is dead, speak to Varna until she runs back to her mom. Follow her to Lora's house and speak to the reunited mother and daughter. As a reward, Lora will give you a relic from her seafaring days in the form of the Legendary Rapier, Duellist's Prerogative.
