*SPOILERS* Has anyone knocked out Minthara on a good-guy run after the new update?

[ShivaSenpai]

Supposedly Larian updated the process of knocking out Minthara to make it easier for her to show up in Act 2 on a good-guy run.

The old process was knocking her out while temporarily hostile and to test this method, you could turn in the goblin leader quest to Halsin, long rest, then go back to Goblin Camp and Minthara would still be neutral in the Goblin Camp.

I'm being told now all you have to do is knock her out, regardless if she's hostile or not, and supposedly you can also knock her out at the Druid Grove and she'll still show up in Act 2? Has anyone actually tested this?

I question it because killing or knocking out Dror Ragzlin causes the ENTIRE goblin camp to turn hostile and for some reason even though Minthara is already knocked out, her body outline changes from yellow (neutral) to red (hostile) after taking out Ragzlin (doesn't matter if it's knock-out or kill, everyone turns hostile/red). If I tell Halsin the Goblin Camp leaders are dead, we can long rest, but when we return back to the Goblin Camp, Minthara is no longer there and it makes me worry she won't actually show up in Act 2.

I'm not positive the perm-hostile KO method is working. People reporting lots of bugs on that. I thought it was enabled in Patch 6, and maybe was, but not in a bug-free way.

Best to be safe and not sorry: stick to the time-tested method of knocking her out while temp-hostile and not taking a LR in between killing the rest of the leaders and talking to Halsin to turn in the quest.

But no, though I have Minthara in some older saves, I haven't tested KOing her post-Patch 6 yet.

I knocked her out on my run during the goblin raid on the grove. she popped up in act 2 and I recruited her. However the game still treats her like she murdered the teiflings and I had to use mods to start a romance with her. She literally has no lines about anything happening in act 3 beside orin related, so it really isn't worth it.

Yes, I also knocked her out and had her show up in act 2 - do not progress the Emerald Grove raid, just knock her out. If you long rest she'll be conscious again and the game will act like she's still up, so make sure it's the last thing you do before the quest turn in.

Knocked her out during the raid and she was in ACT II without an issue.

What I have done in Patch 5 and Patch 6 is straight up go to her, hit her with an unarmed attack, then knock her out. It has worked in both instances.

Just finished an honor mode run where I knocked her out while she had the temporarily hostile tag, then proceeded to murder the entire goblin camp minus her. She showed up in act 2 and I was able to free and recruit her.

I will warn you, Halsin might start showing up in weird spots in camp as she basically spawns over his act 2 and 3 camps. Its not game breaking, but it can be annoying.

Yeah I'm totally cool with halsin being buggy in camp. I was able to recruit her before the most recent patch on a different playthrough but for me, killing Ragzlin didn't make Minthara perma-hostile & I can't for the life of me figure out what I did differently.

is there a way to sacrifice or kill off Halsin story wise in Act 2 or 3?
Alternatively to to have him leave? I regret having him join camp after the goblin are gone.
