I am trying to find out if you can still recruit Minthara if you go through the underdark instead of taking the mountain pass. Everything online says to take the pass but no one mentions the underdark. And if you try to google Minthara recruitment all the results are about destroying the grove.

I’m sure theres nothing online because its so trivial but I really dont want to waste a bunch of time doing the underdark and having to reload. This is my drow playthrough and I want to do as much drow stuff as possible. I know SOMEONE has tried this so if that’s you please let me know!

    I haven’t gotten around to doing an evil playthrough after launch, but from EA I recall Minthara being recruited to your camp after destroying the grove and succeeding some dialog checks during the next camp section. As far as I can tell, it shouldn’t matter which path you take after this, as the paths to moonrise come after attacking the grove and recruiting her.

    Since I haven’t tried this after launch there may be some further checks for her to become a componian rather than just a camp follower that I don’t know about, but destroying the grove and passing the subsequent dialog checks to convince her you’re on the same side should be sufficient.

      Not quite true. Yes she is in the camp, but she is not recruited. She leaves after the night. (at least in my game - doing two different playthroughs atm, one with a buddy and the other solo and there are so many choices leading to different outcomes that I can’t say for sure she always leaves). Recruitment is supposed to happen later on.
