1. The Brothers:
I tried using nothing but the "knock unconcious" ability and checked nobody had a buff or possible item proc that might kill them.
Despite this, it was really hard to not have one of them die, so I replayed this a ton of times.
The one time I did manage it, the game still treated it as though they'd been killed rather than knocked out. This leaves me wondering why Knock Unconcious is even there =(
2. I've fought ethel down to surrender several times now, and saved right before she surrenders. I very much want ShadowHeart to talk to her, but I can't find a way to make that happen other than deliberately killing off my other party members, even using the Character Select does not switch for me,
3. Having looked at multiple other threads I saw repeated mention of the "wand", which I found, but I couldn't seem to find any way to invoke it around Mayrina. I checked a few walkthroughs and they describe options I'm not seeing, such as giving the wand to Mayrina. The closest I've gotten was having the argument with her, she storms off, meeting her at his grave (where she won't speak to me) and rezzing connor. She freaks out and runs off.
Is this because one of the brothers died?
