Baldur’s Gate 3: How to get Duellist’s Prerogative

The Duellist’s Prerogative in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a Legendary Rapier that you get by saving Vanra from Auntie Ethel. Here’s everything you need to know to get the weapon and finish this quest.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has no shortage of unique weapons and armor, and you get many of these after finishing certain quests. One such weapon is the Duellist’s Prerogative, a truly unique-looking rapier for which you’ll have to beat Auntie Ethel a second time.

You obtain this as a reward in Baldur’s Gate 3 for finishing a quest in Act 3 called Save Vanra. The quest is offered by a woman named Lora, whose daughter has gone missing. Here’s how to find Vanra, defeat Auntie Ethel, and receive Duellist’s Prerogative as a reward in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How to complete Save Vanra in Baldur’s Gate 3

Here’s the step-by-step process to complete the Save Vanra quest in Baldur’s Gate 3:

• Talk to Lora at the Basilisk Gate Barracks to start this side quest. She is talking to the Flaming Fist captain about her daughter’s disappearance. Offer to help her find Vanra.
• Next, search for the Hag Survivors. They are located inside Old Garlow’s Place, a dilapidated house in the southern part of the city. Help Mayrina revert to her human form by destroying the voodoo doll or by using Remove Curse on her.
• Expose Jatlo the Dragonborn as a redcap who will then fight you to the death.
• Find the book containing the recipe for Hag’s Bane in the house’s wall safe. Read it to create a Hag’s Bane potion with the ingredients provided.
• Return to the Blushing Mermaid to face Auntie Ethel with the Hag’s Bane grenade.

How to defeat Auntie Ethel in Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3

Here’s where you enter a boss fight with Auntie Ethel, the Hag you fought earlier in Act 1 of Baldur’s Gate 3. Follow these steps to win the encounter:

• Pass through the illusory wall in The Blushing Mermaid’s basement to Auntie Ethel’s lair. Keep an eye out for traps and use Jatlo’s key to enter.
• Destroy one of the Pearlspore Bells to get Auntie Ethel to spawn in. The Hag will continue to resurrect whenever her HP reaches zero if even one of these mushrooms is up. So before you can kill the Hag, you must destroy all of them.
• Start the battle with Auntie Ethel and throw the Hag Bane grenade at her. She will regurgitate Vanra and you can kill her safely without killing the child.
• Auntie Ethel will fight just like before, using body doubles and masked minions to attack you.

How to obtain Duellist’s Prerogative as a reward in Baldur’s Gate 3

Here are the final steps that will finish the quest for good and let you earn the Duellist’s Prerogative in Baldur’s Gate 3:

• Once Auntie Ethel has died, speak to Vanra and she will return to her mother.
• Follow her to Lora’s house, then talk to Lora to wrap up the quest.
• Lora will reward you with a weapon from her pirate days, a Legendary Rapier called Duellist’s Prerogative.
