This can occur whether at her camp in the Shattered Sanctum or when defending the grove from the goblin attack. If Minthara is knocked out in the goblin camp the party must not take a [[long rest]] before the quest [[Defeat the Goblins]] is finished.{{note|Minthara went through some recruitment changes during development and after release.<br>Intended to be recruited only if the grove was destroyed, prior to Patch 5, an exploit could be used to recruit Minthara when siding with the grove. 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 could be recruited if she was knocked out ''temporarily'' at her camp in the Shattered Sanctum, 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. <br>Patch 6 removed the requirement for Minthara being ''temporarily'' hostile / knocked out. the game no longer checks for that condition. It's also possible now to recruit Minthara through knocking her out when defending the grove from the goblin attack as stated above in the recruitment section.}}{{cite web | ||

Accompanied by [[Rozzak]] and [[Skrut]], Minthara will be found at the war table at the north-eastern corner of the [[Shattered Sanctum]] {{Coords|333|42}}, planning her attack on the [[Emerald Grove]]. [[Sazza]] may join her at the table, if alive and freed beforehand. A [[Scrying Eye]] will patrol the area between the library and the war table, and any hostile action will alert the eye which in turn could alert nearby enemies. Disabling the eye, such as pushing it into the nearby chasm, will be the most reliable solution. Near the war table, overlooking the north-most chasm, is a [[Goblin Camp#War Drum:|war drum]]. Hostile goblins will attempt to use it to alert allies in a big radius, including the entire [[Dror Ragzlin]] throne room. [[Zurga]] may also join if she was patrolling nearby when the combat started. It might be best to stealthily destroy the drum before the fight begins. | Accompanied by [[Rozzak]] and [[Skrut]], Minthara will be found at the war table at the north-eastern corner of the [[Shattered Sanctum]] {{Coords|333|42}}, planning her attack on the [[Emerald Grove]].

Finally, Minthara can be killed effortlessly by agreeing to raid the grove during dialogue. Once the deal is struck, she will move to marshal the goblins, eventually crossing the wooden bridge above the chasm. This will give the party an opportunity to collapse the bridge under her, killing her instantly, but her loot will be lost as a result. | Finally, Minthara can be killed effortlessly by agreeing to raid the grove during dialogue.
