Recruit Minthara as a good playthrough #baldursgate3 #bg3 #baldursgate3guide

Step by step on recruiting Minthara - if she doesn't have that temporarily hostile buff, she won't show up in act 2!

Srsly, I want to see Larian expand on this in an at camp conversation. Minthara ought to recognize you as the person who knocked her out. If you looted everything off of her, to the point she has to appear naked before Ketheric, she ought to have some kind of comment on that as well.

How would you feel if some random do-gooder came along, beat you up and knocked you out? Only for you wake up and find they stole all your stuff, left you in nothing but your tighty-whities, then completely steam rolled your entire operation. And now, you have to explain all that to your boss while in said tighty-whities. I'd certainly have a few choice words to say in that situation.

Bro, I didn't even know that she is a companion. I just obliterated the entire camp without questions.

Keep in mind :
- After freeing Halsin, you must tell him to wait and let you handle the goblin leaders and NOT have him in your party when you interact with Minthara.
- You must NOT let any enemy use the goblin war drums to call reinforcements. It will make Minthara hostile permanently instead of temporarily.
-You must either do this *BEFORE* you talk to Minthara or *AFTER* you promised her to attack the grove. It will not work if you talk to her without promising to attack the druids.

😂 EXCUSE ME?! She will arrive in moonrise tower butt as$ naked?! 🤣 STOOOP That’s to funny i can just imagine Minthara waking up naked and walking straight to Moonrise saying “dammit! they rob everything! Well.. better report to the big boss 🚶🏻‍♀️” 🤣

[electrolyteblend]

Make sure to not let any goblins play the war drums during the fight. It will make them and Minthara permanently hostile

[_zoeloft]

IMPORTANT!! You have to kill the other two goblin leaders before long resting or she will not show up at moonrise, this happened to me in my playthrough

[ShebbyYT]

I love showing up to save her with her armor that i stripped from her unconscious body

[cancerousweeaboo]

this is how ive done it twice and it has worked both times: play like normal until the grove, do whatever quests in any order, investigate kagha, whatever you want. you can get the quest to find halsin, however, dont talk to zevlor about killing the goblin leaders. when you're ready to progress the goblin camp quest, go in without attacking anyone and have gut walk into her room. kill her without anyone noticing. then go to minthara and sneak attack or attack from hiding(doesnt matter) and knock her out and kill the goblins around her. then go save halsin from prison and he'll accompany you to kill ragzlin. as long as you dont kill minthara she will appear in moonrise after that point. it seems like taking zevlors quest to kill the goblin leaders might bug the interaction but ive always had success following these steps. minthara even has dialogue about the shadow curse disappearing so it it 100% intended for her to be knocked out

Another very important step to this is you have to fight her before you kill Dror Ragzlin, and also finish the quest "Defeat the Goblins" BEFORE you take a long rest.

The Knocked Out debuff only lasts on NPC's until your next Long Rest, and in order for Minthara to appear in Act 2, the question must be completed while she has this buff.
In addition, killing Dror Ragzlin turns every other member of the Goblin Camp permanently hostile and if Minthara is not defeated by this point, it can mess things up.

After the battle with Minthara, check the "Defeat the Goblins" quest in you log and see if it was updated with "A drow named Minthara, one of the goblin leaders, was defeated." If you see this when speaking to Zevlor to finish the quest, everything should be fine. If you instead see, "We killed one of the goblin leaders, a drow named Minthara, " then something went wrong and you should probably reload.

You can also steal one of the items near her to force her into temporary hostility and start the battle. I suggest you do everything else in the goblin camp, except killing Dror Ragzlin, before you start this so you can take a final full rest if needed before the fight. Once you knock her out then go kill Dror Ragzlin and the goblins near him, then fast-travel to the Druid grove area. Also, free Halsin before this, but have him wait for you until you’ve knocked out Minthara, then take him with you for the Dror battle.

[GlitchedMuse]

I'm glad they made that possible. I like Minthara, but i don't like that you have to lose half of your act 1 party to get her.

[MrArravell]

There is an easy way to check if you did everything correctly. Just return to the goblin camp after a long rest, and Minthara should be standing there alive and non-hostile.

If you are still not convinced you can double check. Save, get an invisibility potion, go to mountains, drink the potion, run through undead to the act 2, go with drider to the Moonrise and check that Minthara is there. It will take 10 min or so.

A more simple way to do it is to talk to her and agree to attack the Grove then when the conversation is over just knock her out

[ReycialSluer]

Minthara : *”I WILL EAT A CHILD EVERY PLAYTHROUGH OR LEAVE.”*

I blame Larian patch note for this. Turns out there is a little more set up than just “knock her out”. I too miss her in my new playthrough

[elliewellie_YouTube]

I wish they hadn’t cut the content with her and halsin interacting in camp. I understand why it didn’t make the cut but it was still so cool.

[pipponegrini]

I recruited her too, but totally missed her in goblin Camp, After i arrived at Moonrise i convinced them to jail her instead of executing her and then i went stealth to break her out of prison, all while being good aligned infiltrating as a cultist

[vergil_vt]

Minthara: if you had killed me, id just be another casualty in your crusade agenst the absolute. And no one would remember me.
New patch drop you can now recruit minthara without perma lossing 2 party members.
Minthara: 😃
