The “I can fix her” playthrough

Wow, I never thought to disguise myself as a Drow to enter the camp. Will be doing that next playthrough. Thanks.

I just tested this method, and yes, it works perfectly. Just make sure your save was started from patch 6.

Ill write a summary of what to do here basically a TLDW (this guide is mainly for honor mode players since we cant save scum) ACT 1--- get marked/or not get the witch branding leader in a room and close the door silence and kill ignore razlin (starting a fight with him aggros the entire camp) go to minthara speak to minthara lure her to druid grove (new addition to patch 6) *rescue helsin first before returning to grove ask him how can i help/ask him to meet at the grove) (mandem straight up bounces) ------------------LONG REST------------------- fast travel to grove get mistaken for bloody goblins prep the field (oil/smoke barrels alchemist fire/grease bottles) blow horn minthara cutscene select option 2 (grove is under my protection) keep minthara last lady standing toggle non lethal attack passive AND MELEE ATTACK get her lyre (take her armor and garments and something magical happens in act 2 talk to halsin and punish sifisiv lady (kagha) long rest party get to act 2 basically either by the back of goblin camp/creche under dark route is risky since you have to navigate there WITHOUT kassandra's fight so please do yourself a favor complete underdark stuff and go by the creche ACT 2------ go by the creche entrance meet spider boy by playing the lyre minthara had kill harpers during ambush get to moonrise and save her ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- now this is a theory where it can honestly waste your time but im doing it follow act 1 guide up till choosing how to get to the shadow cursed lands do what you want and go to the underdark/grymforge/shadow cursed lands go do kassandra's fight join the harpers the whole 9 yards pixie moonrise minthara's great escape from jail

"Easier." Still annoyingly convoluted. Minthara is a super interesting character that's in high demand. I wish they would make it still more straightforward.

Hell yeah. I’m doing a “best endings for every recruitable character possible” run next, good to know it’s been made easier

"Sure, Zevlor, 'dead.' Whatever you say..." Edit: When I feel bad about making sure Halsin is the only one in camp for Orin to kidnap, I remember him strutting in after the fighting was over...

I’m in currently in act 2 I recruited her now Cerys keeps showing up in my fights I have no idea how to fix this I’m on Xbox with no mods

I did this the same but in different order the only thing I did different was I save halsin first befor talking to minthara is that okay?

stupid question. i think i missed it, but at the end you're just checking to see if minthara will be there right? and then you just reload your previous save?

Yeah funny thing is I knocked out Minthara, I see her in Moonrise tower in front of Ketheric, but when I enter the dialog the cut scene is if Minthara was killed.

But when did you kill Dror Ragzlin to complete the quest? or was he part of the attack on the grove and was killed there?

There is no need to attack the Grove. You can do the following, but the important part is - do not use long rest while cleaning up the goblin camp, otherwise Minthara will be dead in Act 2 1) destroy the flying orb by pushing it into abyss 2) knock down Minthara with non-lethal attack 3) Free Halsin and Kill everyone else. Including all guys outside (I always did. Maybe it is not neccessary). Go away from the goblin camp, talk to Halsin and do a long rest. Do not return to goblin camp again. 4) Save Minthara in Act 2 If you want to romance her: 1) Agree with her in dialogs during act 2 to improve the reputation 2) Start a romance in the beginning of Act 3, when she will directly ask you about it. This way you can romance anyone else to not be bored in Act 1 and 2 plus Minthara in Act 3, but you will have to break your first relationship in the beginning of Act 3. This will result in quite cold relations with the first companion, but they won't leave your party. Also there is supposed to be a romance scene with Minthara in Act 3, but it's not finished. There is literally a dialog, when she says "I will come to you tonight" and then nothing happens. Not to mention a lot of delusional Minthara comments about Act 3 events while you're still in Act 2. Larian should really fix this

The method I use to get to Moonrise quickly is to use the Grymforge entrance, equip a torch, ungroup from my party and then use an invisibility potion to avoid the Harper ambush. Run down to the spot where you rescue Rolan (It's near a broken bridge that leads to the Moonrise Docks). Use the Fly spell via potion or scroll and then run into the heavy shadowcurse barrier and you'll be forced into turn-based mode. Dash and Fly over the bridge towards the light where the guard is posted. Takes about 2 minutes and you don't need a moonlantern.

Do you have to kill the Harpers or can you turn on the drider and/or find the Harpers first to get Isobel’s blessing.. THEN go to Moonrise?

I usually knock her out at the goblin camp and later find her at Moonrise. Although I have to try fighting her at the grove next.

18:51 You don't have to kill harpers. You can convince the drider to give you the lantern.

Are Minthara and Halsin at the same time at the camp? Can I recruite both ?

Can I go back to the creche and do its content after recruiting Minthara at the tower?

The route of doing it in the goblin camp works as well. I have never had any issues with that method. Thing is with doing it at the grove you have to make sure all the Tieflings live for them to show up later. I usually attack the floating eye to instigate the fight. To do that you can talk to Minthara before just don't do it with Saza or tell her you will help or tell her the grove location. I usually deal with Minthara first if my avatar is an elf as the potion to get knocked out by the priestess doesn't work on elves and it starts a fight that will piss off the hafling vendor just outside her room. I usually leave her for last and use smoke powder barrels on Razgolin. On Balanced 3 is enough to outright kill him. Just pass the mindflayer questioning scene. If you manage to be asking the questions yourself, you can deflect around questioning who killed it to the very last question. He will be upset he didn't get his answers but will not attack you. Once he sits in his throne you can place a barrel to his right and left and one in front of him and then use a fire arrow or fire spell to touch it off. From a safe distance of course. A good vantage point is the raised balcony to his right.

What happens it instead of killing gut directly i triggered the scene where i get convicted?

Works like a charm, thank you!

Do you have to kill the harpers for this to work?

Even on good playthrough I think luring goblins to the emerald grove is much more climactic than just killing all leaders in sanctum.

Do you need to kill priestess gut? Or can you just knock her out during the raid?

I wonder if being a half drow counts

She's knocked out properly but disappears the moment I get the killing blow on Dror Ragzlin and the "temp hostile" status is removed from everyone.

mannn tried it in my evil honor run. minthara is left. bout to knock her but all my comanions and me missed. and zevlor just sniped her and killed her. too bad

I bugged the game because i eliminated all the goblins and druids. It wouldn't let me talk to Zevlor or Halsin. So even when i saved all the refugees they all still died somehow.

Grazie

I did the old method by attacking Minthara head on. She had the 'temporarily hostile' and she was knocked out (temporarily) but her body went missing after a long rest 😭

Heard that if you recruit her this way, you can't romance her, is that true? In this run I wanted to do it, but I don't know if is possible :/

Is Halsin still recruitable this way?

Can you do this and save zassa?

isnt the easier way just to knock her out when shes temporarily hostile in the goblin camp

Did minthara wake up after long rest or she disappeared?

Saving sazza doesnt effect anything does it?

Instead of disguising one character as a drow to enter the goblin camp safely, can you save Sazza, agree to raid the grove, betray Minthara and then get both of them do appear at Moonrise Towers?

Im sorry. I never knew you could take on the goblins at the druid fort 😅. I always ambused and killed most of them

Can you still romance her if you do this method?

She is still knock out in Moonrise wont even started her quest to save her

Not working for me. She's in knockout forever, not temporarily, which means death. Yes, I did melee attack, no magic and followed the guide. I don't know what else to do.

But does this still allow you to romance her?

Minthara IS Mommy 🥵

I'm not killing Harpers...

But what about all that lost xp from the under dark

13:12 when you get the press L1 prompt in MGS3

11:20 VERY IMPORTANT, make sure that you are also using melee (non spell/non ranged) attacks, too. Even with non lethal attacks toggled on, those will still result in a kill.

Shadowheart what are you doing??? Take that shoepolish off!!!

Getting help from Priestess Gut only works if you are anything other than an elven race. Elves are unable to be put to sleep. Your character will just drink the potion and then give her a smug grin. Then she will attack you. She will then call for help which will instigate the halfling merchant down the hall. Someone you do not want to kill. She carries some good merchandise in Act 2 and I think in Act 3 as well.
