Hi all,

Just wanted to share a successful recruitment of Minthara. All methods I've seen so far have been pretty convoluted, so I was pleased when this worked.


At the goblin camp, I simply rescued Halsin and killed Gut and Ragzlin leaders with his help, making sure to only KO Minthara. That's pretty much it. In act 2, she was in Moonrise Towers and I was able to save her.

My successful recruitment was as follows:

1.Liberate Halsin from the wolf pen and kill the goblins in there. (Don't let anyone escape from the room to raise the alarm)
2.Then tell Halsin to stay put. Don't let him join your party.
3.Go to Minthara and tell her you know the grove location.
4.Prepare for the grove attack and betray Minthara. Knock her out during the grove fight. Kill all the other goblins but leave her lying KO. (You can loot her)

Then return to the goblin camp and mop up the other leaders and all remaining goblins. (You can take a long rest before that)

I found Minthara at moonrise towers and could liberate her and escort her to my camp. However, I encountered a bug here. So make a save before you start the conversation with the interrogators in the dungeon, so you can restart from there if necessary.

When I took over interrogation to converse with Minthy (mentally) and then killed the interrogators. Minthara became totally unresponsive. She just stood there, did't move, could not be talked to.
When I restarted the cutscene with interrogators and told them to liberate Minthara and then killed them, Minthara was accessible and could follow me out of the dungeon.

I did converse with her mentally so we could attack the torturers together and it worked fine for me. What I noticed though is, that no guards apart from those directly in front of her cell notice Minthy as a runaway.

In the goblin camp, however, there is one option that allows you to attack from out of the conversation (Something like "I am here to kill you") choosing this will not give her the temporarily hostile buff and the knock out will make her disappear instead.

There's a mod that makes her just run away at 30% health so you don't have to fiddle with knocking her out. (I use AI for my companions so it would be annoying for me to try to do.)

However, it has not been updated since September 2023 and I'm afraid it will break my game. Has anyone had success with this mod after Patch 6?
