Recruiting Minthara didn't work.
Now I had kiilled Gut and the other guy rescued Halsin and he mentioned about killing all 3 I wanted to knock out minthara with a non lethal attack but it wouldn't let me. Every time I went into her area even with just my drow Tav Every one in the area would aggro. Should I have knocked her out first before killing the other two?

Killing dror aggros the entire camp. User error.

You have to knock her out before killing Dror. You can kill Gut before if you want to, as long as you do it without alerting the rest of the goblins.

Pretty harsh for not getting what is really just a legitimized exploit. The game gives you no clue how to do this or even any indication that you should try.

He's right. If you kill the Hobgoblin Leader the whole camp is after you.

Well now i reloaded a save just before I took out Minthara and took out her 2 goblins and that floating eye and for some reason she wasn't aggro that was until I used invisibility and stole the scroll off her desk. But was able to know her out this time even though the whole interior was taken down and she was the only one left. Of course I think the next time I run into her she will be naked as I looted everything off her body.

I looted her lyre and then when I recruited her in Act 2, guess what she had? Her lyre. So I ended up with two of them. And they are quest items, so unsellable. Plus, she can't even play it.

Minthara Recruiting is buggy right now - the only way to recruiting her without burning down the Grove is as follow: Enter Temple of Selune -> Go to Minthara (DO NOT SPEAK TO HER) -> Steal Map/Scroll -> Engage in Combat and activate Non-Lethal Attacks -> Knock her out.

Every other Cult Leader can be killed. If you wanna check if it was done right, you can do a long rest and if you go back to Minthara she should be conscious and again with full HP, to finish the Quest you will have to repeat above mentioned steps - keep that in mind!

Long story short: yes

The important part is whether she is temporarily hostile or not as described here

you can attack her directly instead stealing this and that to set her up - as long as she is temporarily hostile, it fulfills one of the conditions to recruit her.

General tip for the uncertain/impatient: head directly after the party to Moonrise Tower as quick as possible to check for her. That can be a matter of less than 5~10 minutes. Then you can reload the save after the party and continue as usual after that. And... when you loot her empty while she is unconcious, mind that the seen at Moonrise Tower becomes funny NSFW.

So ... people are failing to get her post patch 5 on a "good run" either because - seems in my case, mods borking the new "good" way of KOing her - or ... as they say "user error" and some of course running in Honour mode can't double back on an earlier save to fix it.

I do have good news. "Sheepthara' method still works. I can only point out it's trickier to do than the way many online guides describe it. You have to execute the steps very carefully. If you don't know what i'm talking about, well, google is your friend. Just realize it's a bit harder to pull off than many of those guides suggest. However, you have to do the hack/exploit before entering the Moonrise throne room.

Does recruiting her the 'good way' actually make a difference now?

As in, if you were to recruit her the normal way (or just leave the situation unresolved), would you notice any difference in her scenes?

No.

AFAICT, she is still not romanceable if you didn't sex her up at the Act 1 goblin party celebrating druid & tiefling massacre. I've seen people posting otherwise but doesn't seem to be the case. There are claims recent patches have made her otherwise a bit more interactive and "dialogic" in Acts 2 and 3 but I haven't noticed much. She still seems a bit underwritten compared to other companions, including the "non origin" ones like Halsin, Jaheira, or Minsc.

I did not "sex her up" in Act 1, and in Act 3 she still wanted me to romance her. Even though I had another romance partner, she wanted me to dump that person for her. (I said no.)

She has had about as many interesting things to say as any of my other companions. That is, if she is in my party she will make comments, and if I talk to her in camp after certain story events she will comment on them. Same as the others.

My favorite bit of Minthara dialog was when Iwas able to ask her opinion of all my other companions, and she had some interesting stuff to say about each of them. That happened soon after recruiting her, in Act 2.

I went to her first, I think I either smashed the war drum or attacked the scrying eye, which made her and the goblins in the area temporarily hostile. I had non-lethal on and knocked her out.
Then I left and lured Gut to her room, took her out. Saved Dror for last. I didn't long rest in between. I went and got Halsin last and left to do the celebration party.

I am in Act 2 and she was there in the throne room like she should be. I did loot everything off her body, so that didn't seem to make any difference in whether or not she appears in Act 2 or not.

I killed Gut first. then broke Halsin out.

Then I attacked the scrying eye. Minthara went "temp hostile". I knocked her out and killed her gobbo pals.

Then I dropped a save and long-rested. However, after hearing reports that long-resting was a bad idea, I went back to the save before I long-rested and killed Dror. Then told Halsin. Then teleported to the grove. Then collected my rewards and attended the party.

When I got to Act 2 -- there was Minthara, on trial. Recruitment went fine, and she was in my camp after that. Shared a tent with Halsin until Halsin got himself kidnapped by Orin. No big loss there, IMO -- Orin can keep him.
