In [[Decide Minthara's Fate]], the party can decide what will happen with Minthara after her trial at the hands of [[Ketheric Thorm]] and [[Z'rell|Disciple Z'rell]] at the [[Moonrise Towers]].

** Should the party side with Minthara during [[Save the Refugees]] and raid the grove with her, no additional steps are needed to ensure that she appears at the Moonrise Towers.

** If the party sides with the druids instead, but still wishes to meet Minthara at the Moonrise Towers, she must be [[Knocked Out (Temporary) (Condition)|knocked out]] when fought. This can occur whether at her camp in the Shattered Sanctum or when defending the grove from the goblin attack.{{note|Minthara went through a few recruitment changes during development and after release. Intended to be recruited only if the grove was destroyed, prior to Patch 5, a bug could be exploited to recruit Minthara even when siding with the grove. Minthara had to be knocked out temporarily in Act 1, after which she would recover after a long rest. Once the party reached Act 2 and acquired [[Polymorph]] and [[Dominate Beast]] spells, they had to return to [[Shattered Sanctum]], turn her into a sheep and dominate her. The party then had to fast-travel back to the Moonrise Towers and then had to move Minthara as a sheep into the throne room, where the judgement continued as if Minthara was alive. After the cutscene she would be transported to the dungeon. The party had to attack her quickly once imprisoned (as she would begin to run away otherwise), and then turn invisible and exit combat. Minthara was then part of the interrogation scene and her recruitment could proceed as normal.<br>After Patch 5, Minthara could be recruited if she was made temporarily hostile and then knocked out at her camp in the Shattered Sanctum. The easiest way to do this was to commit a crime in front of her, and knocking her out during the ensuing fight, dealing with the rest of the goblin camp without long rests in-between as the game files checked for both conditions in order to trigger her scene at Moonrise Towers.}}{{cite web

* Upon joining the party in camp as a companion, she will talk about some of her time under the Absolute and her vow of vengeance.
