Wasn't the datamine about not being able to have both Minthara and Halsin in the party? I remeber the dialogue that suggested that even if we don't side with either of them, they'll make us chose one of them
Yep. That dialogue is triggered by a series of events that are written in the devnote and this can be considered a new way to recruit her. There is also a dialogue parser that reveals Minthara having a reaction to you knocking her out, and it is hinted she can join the party that way. So, chances are, the KO method will make a return in a future update.
