What to do to make sure to get Minthara (peacefully)

[Space Cowboy]

So, first try I knocked her out just to discover that she didn't appear at Moonrise Towers, so now I went back aaaaall the way to an early save to try again and this time I wanna make sure - what do I need to do to make her appear in Moonrise Towers without having to attack the Druid Grove?

To be double super secret sure, knock her out when she's temp hostile. (Easiest way to trigger: steal something in front of her).

I THINK you might be able to KO her differently post patch 6, but as I've seen no confirmation on this ... better safe than sorry.

I've confirmed myself that she can be knocked out during the raid and show up at Moonrise as of Update #6.

If she is being knocked out at the Goblin Camp instead, both Priestess Gut and Ragzlin have to die before taking a long rest otherwise she'll bug out, though this was the case even in Update #5.

Safest best right now for a Non-Evil Route is to long rest before entering Shattered Sanctum, then knock her out while Ragzlin is still alive. Then, complete the 'Defeat the Goblin Leaders' quest without ONCE taking a long rest.

Make sure you unlock the Selunite Outpost in the Underdark, or the Zhentarim Hideout's illusory wall, before going back to the Grove for the celebration. You want to do this so that you don't have to backtrack through the Shattered Sanctum after completing this quest, because the celebration is a long rest which will reset Menthol if you return to the Shattered Sanctum.

Ooof, alright, thanks everyone. I'll try all that tomorrow.

Honestly every time I've gotten her I just walked out in front of her with Halsin following me and knocked her out.

Ignore the Grove. True, tieflings and Halsin won't survive but you'll keep the rest. And she delivers in battles

Alright, I did as you suggested and also agreed to attack the grove right before knocking her out (got that from another guide), then did a mad rush through the underdark, skipped the Grimforge and went straight for Moonrise Towers. This time it worked and I found Minthara there. Took maybe half an hour but it was worth it - now I can do the underdark again thuroughly and with peace of mind that she'll spawn correctly.
