** If the party sides with the druids instead, but still wishes to ensure she appears at Moonrise Towers, when fought at the goblin camp in Act 1, she will need to be [[Knocked Out (Temporary) (Condition)|knocked out]] while being [[Temporarily Hostile (Condition)|temporarily hostile]]. Only if both of these conditions are fulfilled will she appear at Moonrise Towers. The easiest way to do this is to simply commit a crime in front of her to turn her temporarily hostile, knock her unconscious, and then proceed to destroy the rest of the goblin camp and its leaders in one go, that is, without a [[Long Rest]] in between until the celebratory party afterwards.{{note|Prior to Patch 5, a bug could be exploited to recruit Minthara even when siding with the grove. Minthara had to be knocked out in Act 1, after which she would recover after a Long Rest. Once the player reached Act 2 and acquired polymorph and dominate beast spells, they could return, turn her into a sheep and dominate her. The party then fast-traveled back to Moonrise towers and would smuggle Minthara as a sheep into the throne room, where the judgement would continue as if Minthara lived. After the cutscene she would be transported to the dungeon. The player would have to attack her quickly once imprisoned, (as she would begin to run away otherwise) and then turn invisible and exit combat. Minthara would then be part of the interrogation scene and her recruitment can proceed as normal.
