What are the new ways to recruit Minthara?

[PenderBloodfart]

I've interacted with her on the goblin camp and seems nothing has changed. This patch said it added new ways.
Seems to be still "cheese knockdown" or "kill the thieflings".

I assume, started a new playtrough myself but im not that far into Act 1, that you can now engage in combat with her and knock her down while in combat. Guess thats the only "new way" since before the Patch you could only make her temp. hostile and then knock her down.

Wow... I was hoping they put a way to convince her or something...

I think two things have changed:
a) you can now knock her out while raiding the Grove, and this will work (a player confirmed this here)
b) you can now KO her while perm-hostile as well as temp-hostile (not positive on this; awaiting a player to confirm). This means everybody who made the mistake of angering her in dialogue won't lose out on acquiring her.

AFAIK, nothing else, including "tent sharing with Halsin". It also looks like they tried to give (or add back?) more dialogue for Minthara, but some of that may be out-of-sequence bugged .... also, not positive, but her Act 3 romance WAS borked, and it doesn't seem like they fixed that.

It’s just that now you can knock her out with non-lethal damage in the battle for the grove... It would be better if they made some kind of branch than again broken garbage... It’s a pity that Mintara is deprived so much. There is very little dialogue, the plot is empty...

Unfortunately, even after Patch 6, Minthara is one of the biggest annoyances in the game. A reminder that BG3 was released a year too early and a lot of things weren't finished...

What Larian has tried to patch up over the past few months is a bad joke. Let's hope this botch is corrected at some point. There needs to be real content for Minthara in Act 2 & 3 that does justice to her personality and her role in the game.

I completely agree, the most deprived companion in the game. A lot of time has passed, and the Larians still don’t want to fix it... There is less dialogue than other companions, the phrases are buggy, the plot does not reveal it in any way. It’s just a shame that they don’t want to reveal a companion with such potential...
