Minthara: Difference between revisions

Jump to navigation Jump to search
m (Rolling back change made to reference on Minthara's recruitment. There are three distinct methods she had of recruitment, pre-patch 5, patch 5 and the current patch 6 and they are all distinct enough to warrant documentation. We should aim to keep them all documented for the future especially since she's likely to receive further changes in the future.)
(Tried to make it clear what has changed since Patch 6. The major change in Patch 5 was that Minthara could be recruited through knocking her out temporarily without the need to turn her into a sheep, that could only happen in the shattered sanctum.. From what i know, since Patch 6 it is now also possible to recruit Minthara wihle defending the grove. What i don't know is, if it is still needed to knock her out temporarily. Maybe the temporarily condition isn't neede anymore.)

* If left alive after the events of Act 1, Minthara will be found at Moonrise Towers facing trial by Ketheric Thorm for failing to find the [[Mysterious Artefact]]. Sentenced to death, she is taken to [[Moonrise Towers Prison]] to be tortured until her execution. The party can find her and help her escape, and if invited to camp, she will offer to join them.

** 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 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 temporarily]] when fought.

Minthara had to be knocked out temporarily in Act 1, recovering after a long rest. Once the party reached Act 2 and acquired the spells [[Polymorph]] and [[Dominate Beast]], 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>When Patch 5 was introduced, Minthara was able to be recruited if she was knocked out at her camp in the Shattered Sanctum while temporarily hostile. 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
