Minthara "bug". [Act 3 spoilers]

[Marcus Butthurticus]

She keeps repeating "We should not tarry in this charnel house and when I killed Orin she just went to the normal convo and said anything. I believe I seen youtube clips with her reacting to Orins death but now it did not give me anything even if it had the [ ! ] over her head. Anyone else seen this?

[Fluff]

People at reddit said she's not fully fixed yet unfortunately and it depends if you getting lucky or not

Oh ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I cannot even change her out the normal way now that I looked at it.

The problem is not "bug" per se, but how you go about talking to her. Since first run I was with her, she talks about Orin, and do the whole speech. The problem might be one of the following:
- You need to kill Orin before Gortash (not always, but mostly, she wont trigger if you kill Gortash first)
- You need to have spoke with her already about all other things (again, not "always", but sometimes when you did not spoke to her to end her dialogues, once you kill Orin, she doesnt react)
- You have to have straight forward helped her. If in the Moonrise towers you saved her, but you used the non deceptive lines that deprecate her, for some reason, she wont trigger a lot of dialogues

In my experience it was that. But, despite having at first got all her content before the "update" and seeing it fail "after the update", I still dont think there is much more to her than that. As I see, the only thing the update did, like with Karlach, was to change dialogue options and order so it is easier for folks to understand how to unlock her content, not that anything was "fixed" perse.

There's a bug with Minthara if you also have recruited Jaheira. At the end of act 2, after Ketheric, if you talk to them both, they both end up with this dialogue lock.

You can fix this by killing minthara (have her jump to her death or something don't attack her and lose approval) and then going back to your camp and having withers resurrect her.

Well, its a odd situation clearly.

Thank you! I will try this out and remove Jaheira. Been odd having her around but shapeshift is nice. I did save just before the Orin fight anyway and she kills herself on the fire shield on my Paladin/Warlock so thankfully I have not lost a lot of times or lucked out on that fight.

You can check that it worked by talking to her after and you should no longer have the charnel house dialogue but back to her "you wish to consult me" dialogue.

It's my understanding talking to Jaheira again will break her again and you'll need to repeat. Haven't tested that it's ongoing but have personally had this bug and fixed it through withers and have avoided Jaheira since haha

Thats a very good idea!

It did work again but she won't react about Orin it seems. Its weird! She just jumps to "You wish to consult me?".

Yeah unfortunately I can't speak to the missing reactions. I think Minthara is still quite bugged.

But at least you can get rid of the charnel house part of the bug 😅 and least open up some more conversation.

Personally I've put my DU/Minthara playthrough on pause until things are addressed. Seems like Larian thought they fixed her issues but the only real change is the one extra dialogue about being together but even that doesn't seem to properly work afterwards.

It is something atleast!

Yeah, It would not suprise me we need to start over to have it not hiccup so much. But im so deep into Act 3 now I do not think I stop and just roll on. But it sucks! She is one of the more intrigueing characters.

People with fresh playthroughs are having the same issues. So I don't think a fresh play is necessary to fix anything.

And fully agree, really been enjoying her story arch / cut scenes. Very interesting character.
