PSA - Recruiting Minthara On A Good Playthrough

[Crimsomrider]

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT regarding Patch #5 enabling Minthara to be recruited while siding with Halsin and Zevlor;

Minthara will still appear in ACT 2 if she was knocked out in Act I.

When you are ready to wipe out the entire Goblin camp; in order to recruit Minthara you have to first make her Temporarily Hostile by committing a crime next to her and then non-lethally knock her out. Despite the journal mentioning she died, continue to slaughter everyone in the Goblin camp in order to save the Tieflings and the Grove.

Once you eventually reach ACT II with everyone saved; Minthara can be found in Moonrise Towers being judged by General Ketheric Thorm where you can recruit her. She and Halsin will both be chilling at camp after she's been rescued.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES knock Minthara out without the TEMPORARILY HOSTILE tag under her healthbar, otherwise she will not spawn in ACT II.

So you knocked her out, killed the goblin leaders and still found her at Moonrise ?

[victorvnv]

Good know I did the exact same
Thing but triggered the fight by telling her I am here to kill her. She wasn’t in moonrise after so maybe just hitting her is the key but not telling her you are there to kill her lol

[Babbles]

Did you also kill the other leaders? Because:

A. What happens to Halsin?

B. Are the Tieflings safe?

I NEEDS TO KNOWS!

[no-no-please]

Halsin will be at your camp in act 2, without option to take him in your party
Tieflings are as safe as when Minthara is dead

Yup, exactly. Though I did it while she was temporarily hostile, I did not make her fully hostile.

Yes. Saved Tieflings, Halsin is at camp along with Minthara as well.

Uh it makes sense if you actually play the game.

Makes sense actually as this way the explanation is that she got knocked off and didn’t realize who killed everyone while if during the raid she sees you coming after her and same goes if you tell her in her face you are there to kill her.

[Babbles]

SWEEETTTTT! Thank you OP.

And as why KOing her during the raid might not work - you don't think that maybe the Tieflings and Druids would, you know, inflict some capital punishment on her?

Especially as whilst you are out busy eating hag scalp, you don't have much control over that happens to the POWs ...

[Sensui-Tomo]

Thanks for elaborating on how to do it. Looking forward to trying this when I get off work.

[Dizzy Ladybug]

Cool ! I just confirmed the same on my old save file. So the trick is to not engage in conversation with Minthara and just walk up and attack her at the Goblin Camp to trigger temporary hostility. Then knock her out and you'll find her at Moonrise in Act 2 Thanks Crimsomrider

[Agent Chieftain]

LETS GOOOOO. I was actually going to try the whole polymorph work around this playthrough. Now I don't have to.

[Crimsomrider]

So I can definitely confirm that if Minthara becomes fully hostile, she will be dead no matter what.

So absolutely do make sure she is Temporarily Hostile when you are ready to clear the Goblin Camp.
