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 {{SAI|Polymorph}} and {{SAI|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. | |||

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 became possible to recruit Minthara through knocking her out when defending the grove from the goblin attack. However, if Minthara was knocked out in the goblin camp, the quest {{Quest|Defeat the Goblins}} had to be finished prior to taking a [[Long Rest]]. | |||
