Minthara disappearing after knocking her out?

[valentina.idrizii]

I'm on my 5th run and I wanted to recruit Minthara while also saving the Grove by turning her into "Temporary Hostile" and knocking her out by going melee but she just dies and her body disappears on the spot with a "Poof!"
I've tried changing my weapons with basic ones (no bonus additions, no magical weapons, etc...), I've tried just beating her up bare hands, I've been trying throwing her literal ROCKS but she just goes poof! and dies
Does anyone knows how to fix this or had similar experiences?

Are you sure she's dead? :^)

Using any mods or in the Beta for the next patch?

You using only a non-lethal attack on her?

Yes, when i check in the registry (I don't know the english word for it, in Italian is "Registro di combattimento") on the bottom right it states that she's dead and she disappears

I'm using mods and some of them are targeted on her. Do you suggest turning them all off or just the ones that are specifically about Minthara?

Her disappearing on death with a *poof* could be one of the old 'good recruitment' mods for her, in which case there might not actually be a problem. If that's the case, you should be able to recruit her fine in Act 2. Is there a smoke effect when she dies?

Posting your mod list would help, but you really shouldn't be enabling or disabling mods on an existing playthrough.

A reminder to say that Non-Lethal only applies to -Melee- attacks.

As Naxos said, make sure to MELEE attack her. Non-lethal only works with melee attacks. Otherwise, I dont believe any mods should be causing any issues as I`ve knocked her out even when raiding the Grove and killing the rest of goblins and it worked properly (as in she was knocked out and appeared later in the act 2).

That's your issue I bet. I just fought her last night and knocked her out and she stayed that way. Came back later and she was gone. Which is normal. I don't use any mods.

You're not supposed to recruit her this way, it's bound to get fixed eventually.

It is however possible to recruit her and save the grove after a recent patch, you recruit her later when you save her from the tower in act 2.

The poof is from the Daughter of Lolth Good Recruitment mod. I still use it in my runs. She disappears in a puff of smoke.

Download the console version of the mod and you can see in the logs whether it worked or not.
