You need to get to the top of the Gate and blow on the 'horn' to rally her forces.
Good Luck and make sure Minthy doesn't die. Also, raise the gate after blowing the horn.

You have to talk to Zevlor, the tiefling leader, to start the battle.

i have blown the horn and nothing happens. and zevlor is still in his room in the very back. i don't have any option to talk to him about any of that.

Curious. I just blew the horn and opened the gate before. Did Larian change something in a server-side patch?

i don't know. i was hopeing to at least try the raid thing one time before the next patch came out but it seems i'm the only one having this issue. no cutscene or anything happens. just the yellow marker on the map saying grove entrance is all.

Well, as I said, blow the horn. Then kill the gate, as it is destructible. Hopefully that will help.

tried all that. nothing happened. oh well. i think it just glitched out. i would have to restart the entire campaign. maybe if i speed run it i might make it in time before the next patch. like i said. there isn't even the cutscene of him standing at the gate and shooting an arrow at my feet. he is literally still in his hole in the back of the druid camp

I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. If you reloaded the save and blew the horn then opened the gate, that is all that is required to usurp the Druid Grove gate and start the attack, in accordance with Patch 3. I do not know if they stealth patched 3 before hand, as I have noticed various changes now. We will see what happened in Patch 4 or just do as the instructions say and put option to beta 3.

no need for you to apologize. i appreciate the attempt at helping. lol. i'm just trying to figure out if i am missing something. after i tell minthra the location of the druid grove is there anything else i need to do before zevlor is at the top of the gate and tries to shoot an arrow at my feet?

Hey so sorry this is 4 hours late but I had the same problem. If you haven't talked to zevlore after the initial meeting, dealt with Kagha (the acting head druid) and then talked to zevlor afterwards to tell him you took care of her before accepting mintharas raid quest, the game gets soft locked. I lost a good hour of progress because I was dumb and relied on way too many quicksaves.

Yep had this issue yesterday as well something must of broke it last update/patch I tried everything from helping them stay in the grove to blowing the horn to talking to Zavlor all that appeared on the map was a gold widget outside the main gate and nothing else seemed to trigger the raid.

I should of read this first this was my issue I started the raid before dealing with Kagha.

tbh, I completely forgot about the epic battle with Minthara's army and the Grove. I ended up just walking into the goblin encampment with my party, going through the front door (they just let me pass since I was playing a Drow), going to the room near Mithara and killing her. Afterwords, I just fought the bigger baddies on the way out with stealth kills and pushing them into the giant spider cage area.

After True Soul Gut, Dror Ragzlin and Minthara are gone, walking back to talk to Zevlor finished the quest. Halsin just came back to the grove and I didn't see him until then.

Next playthrough I'll give the army-fight ending a shot.

gotcha. so that is where i messed up then. i didn't take care of zevlor first before accepting the raid on the grove quest. lol. thanks. i swear i hope they fix the evil route. if they want people to try the evil route they shouldn't make it so glitchy.

but thank you all for the help and the answers.

When you say 'talked to Zevlor after the initial meeting':
- i'm guessing you're meaning after Aradin knocked him out in the initial interaction, so you can introduce yourself to him and have him ask you for help?

Dealt with Kagha (the acting head druid) and then talked to Zevlor afterwards to tell him you took care of her:
- In this I assume you mean just spoke with her directly, because 'delt with Kagha' can be inferred many ways. In my play to aid the Goblins, the only interaction I had with her was to save Arabella, nothing regarding her 'other' activities or helping Zevlor as I did not speak with her directly.

Another thing that should have been done was interacting with the three Tieflings just down the way from the Lightfoot merchant Arron. In that you should have dissuaded them to stay so there would be less fighters in the grove for Minthara's people to deal with.

In my play, I also took out all three gate guards, and the bugbear assassin killed the Tiefling that uses the telescope atop the hill for me (I still killed him anyway). I even killed Zevlor and the Tiefling female in his room before even speaking with Minthara to make it ever easier for them.

So I never bothered with talking to Kagha and never told Zevlor I would help lead them out (The next part of the quest when you talk to Kagha and she basically demands you to talk to Zevlor and tell him you will help lead them out of the Grove). I spoke with Zevlor initially in the interaction with Aradin as in my play, Zevlor knocked him out instead.
