Hey guys, I came here to share some news:
As of Hotfix 16, it is now possible to kiss Minthara in camp.
Yes, after 5 months since release, the option finally appears when you talk to her. This was never possible before, even after they mentioned it twice in previous updates.
Although the hotfix does come with its own set of problems and Minthara is not excluded.
1. First of all, I found it weird that there was no mention of this in the patch notes. A heads up would have been nice. It seems they finally found whatever it is that was blocking the dialogue option from appearing and some of us were left with a pleasant surprise when we opened the game.
2. It is not possible to trigger the poison kiss in older saves. I've had 4 people share this to me since the hotfix dropped, it is unclear at what exact patch does the poison kiss start to apply but those who romanced Minthara near the launch date can't seem to trigger the dialogue nor the poison effect no matter how many times they kissed her.
3. It is not possible to trigger the poison cloud effect/debuff in older saves. There should be a chance for you to get a poison debuff after you kiss Minthara. In all my saves, I can only trigger the dialogue where you notice she has poison on her lips (point 2) but I never got the poison debuff. I had no idea it could even trigger until I saw a post on social media, and my friend came to me saying it triggered in a save where she romanced Minthara after Patch 5.
4. There is no unique kiss animation for Minthara yet, she greets us with "You wish to consult me?" as always, and we still don't have the option to break up with her. Hopefully Larian will add to this soon and fix the issues I mentioned above :3
