Baldur’s Gate 3 has undergone several changes to its romances and how the romance – and by extension, approval - system works. First, it was too easy to start romances, to the point that every companion wanted to be with Tav, and some had a hard time accepting that they didn’t win Tav’s heart. However, even after the fixes that have been implemented up to this point, not every romance in BG3 is in proper working order.
Baldur’s Gate 3 made changes and updates across the board since its launch, and while that’s led to a much smoother gameplay experience, it still isn’t perfect in some aspects. However, the issues that pop up in certain romances aren’t consistent, and that makes them more difficult to navigate without an official patch. In the meantime, some Tavs have gotten creative in the ways they romance – and even recruit - Minthara in a good playthrough.
At first, Minthara could only be recruited by siding with the Goblin Leaders and attacking the Emerald Grove. The only exception to this was through the use of specific workarounds to recruit Minthara in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, the workaround required a lot of extra steps, leading to later glitches since Minthara and Halsin weren’t meant to be in camp at the same time during that version of the game. This was later patched in Patch #5, and Halsin and Minthara can coexist in camp as long as the Emerald Grove survives.
To recruit Minthara in a good playthrough, Tav, and their companions need to use non-lethal damage to knock her out in the Shattered Sanctum. Then, if everything goes smoothly, Minthara reappears at the Moonrise Towers, being scolded by Ketheric for her failure to destroy the Grove. From here, it’s possible to recruit Minthara, making it so that every companion is available in a single playthrough.
Unfortunately, recruiting Minthara while doing a good playthrough doesn’t always work as intended. There are multiple reports of Minthara not showing up at Moonrise Towers after she’s knocked out at the Shattered Sanctum. However, the reasons as to why this is happening are left to speculation because there isn’t enough consistency to pinpoint a singular cause. Instead, it seems rather random as to when this bug pops up and why. At least there are some ideas floating around regarding possible causes and tentative solutions. This means that not every solution will work in every playthrough.
