Recruiting HALSIN & MINTHARA: Is it possible, after Patch 1, of Baldur’s Gate 3?

  • In this video, we will explore the question of whether you can recruit both Halsin and Minthara to be fighting companions and join your camp in Baldur’s gate 3 after Patch 1 on August 25, 2023, which stated that you cannot recruit both characters. Nevertheless, there is evidence that folks have done just that prior to the patch. Is it still possible?
    Watch all the way to the end as we have many important tips gleaned from scores of hours testing all possible scenarios.
    The good news is that with either Halsin or Minthara alive in Act 2, that is with all three Goblin Leaders defeated or with the Goblin/Grove conflict unresolved, respectively, you can retain Wyll and Karlach as companions if you had recruited either or both prior to going to the Mountain Pass or Act 2. If the Goblins are not completely defeated either by killing the three Goblin leaders or winning the battle of Emerald Grove on the side of the Druids and Tieflings, then Karlach cannot get repairs to her overheating infernal engine from Dammon in act 2 as most of the Tieflings disappear in Act 2.

      The way it works now Halsin’s character makes no sense. He won’t defend the Grove. He can escape prison at any time by turning into a rat. He comes off as weak asking for help from strangers when not defending his Grove himself.

      @LinusWilson  9 місяців тому +5

      Yes. Be careful to not attack a druid in the grove if you return. They will be hostile. One opportunity attack against a Grove resident will cause both Karlach and Wyll to quit even if they did they fighting or were at camp.

      wish there was an ending where Halsin just remains as archdruid and Minthara escapes after a failed assault if you snuck Halsin out but alas he wont leave unless you present a dead goblin leader trio.

    @archaprime5439 9 місяців тому +1

    So let me get this straight, I’m testing this now so let’s see, right now my current state is I’ve attacked the druids forcing all the druids to attempt to wipe out the tieflings, I’ve got the party limit remover mod so I stationed all party members at the key skirmish locations preemptively the resulting battle saw only one inconsequential tiefling dead, I will now travel to the goblin camp and wipe out every single goblin, drow, and Halsin himself leaving minthara as the only person alive, then I will go through the mountain pass. In theory… tiefling for Karlach’s engine should be at last light no? How can minthara assault grove on her own and kill all tieflings? Will let you know the results

    • @archaprime5439
      @archaprime5439 9 місяців тому +1

      For clarification I did something similar on dark urge however was playing unmodded and was unable to stop Druids from massacring most key tiefling npcs, minthara does in fact survive this, but seeing as zevlor and company were mostly dead I couldn’t gage if they had survived however I do recall a tiefling in act 3 saying I remember you from the grove, could be tripping about that though

    • @archaprime5439
      @archaprime5439 9 місяців тому +3

      Just read a comment where you said you don’t do mods, this method in theory could work with base 4 party members as you could send 3 to each of the skirmish spots, outside zevlors cave, by the trader, by the animal pens, and 1 to pick a fight with the Druids, then you’ll have 4 battles on your hands which once you freeze time once it gets to your turn on each battle provided your chars are built enough you should be able to then finish the initial provocation battle, run and join the animal pens battle turn the tide, then take both chars to the trader battle win, so you would in theory then have all 4 chars for right outside zevlors cave where most of the key npcs are, goes without saying that high initiative and healing are essential to keep tieflings alive

    • @LinusWilson
      @LinusWilson  9 місяців тому +1

      The Tieflings will die if Minthara lives. You don’t have to actively kill them. If you actively kill them then you lose Wyll and Karlach.

  • @kroanosm617

    It's a bit confusing to me but it seems that you have tried everything.
    My question is does Minthara have to die as part of Zevlors kill the Goblin leader quest? Because I thought that Ragzlin was their leader and I was hoping to kill hi and the priestess to completed the quest.
    What if you just kill all the goblins but never interact with Minthara?
    What if you silence Minthara and break the bridge so she can't cross it?

    It looks like it should be be possible as Minthara comments on Karlac which shouldn't be possible if you can only have one or the other without using all of this bug stuff. Trading 3 companions for 1 doesn't sound like a good deal unless you are playing dark urge and being an asshole.
    I do hate that we are getting 2 druid companions when we don’t have a ranger, monk, or bard.
    Getting the tiefling bard should be a give in.

      It is strange that you cannot get more evil characters from the goblin camp. And the dwuagar from the under dark. I never did find that demon or the link to char.
      Never got a dwarf or a deep gnome outside of character creator.
      I think that getting a monk for the destroyed temple would be great, having to decide between the gith and the monks.

    The statement that you cannot recruit both Halsin and Minthara is incorrect. It can and always has been able to be done but only legitimately by a singular method: You must deliberately trigger the Rite of Thorns to recruit Halsin before leaving the area. I posted more details in the Halsin/Minthara reddit, but basically if you trigger Rite of Thorns and tell Halsin that it's been done, he will join your camp immediately and then you can proceed to Moonrise Towers to recruit Minthara.
    EDIT: I have a few videos posted as proof if you want to see for yourself.

      Thanks I’ll check it out. I tried the rite of thorns thing and could not get it to work for Minthara and Halsin. Perhaps you have a better explanation than I have seen. The fact that they share a tent and don’t refer to one another in addition to the patch 1 statement by Larian means they are not intended to both be companions at once. There is also the sheep method to get Minthara and Halsin and save the tieflings.

Halsin even has a few lines asking him about if he's heard from the grove since the Rite of Thorns, but otherwise he has little to say.
      Only little tidbit that it may have impacted was the Dryad scene. I was able to get approval from Halsin telling him his biggest mistake was making Kagha his second in command when asked about his "Biggest mistake."

    Since this video refused to tell me what the titles suggested I would find. A yes or no requisite by definition, since I guess you were unaware of that. I have to assume the concept is all together foreign to you, since Yes or no themselves are single syllable words, each or either taking less one literal second to speak aloud. Just slightly longer to type in fact. So you can understand why I have concluded you must have a lack of familiarity with the premise or the concept, since I am 16 seconds into your video, and neither word has yet be spoken and more confounding still you are continuing to speak as if a yes or a no is not something people who would watch this video would like to know, you thought that so much you made a video about it. So, in what should be an all together common courtesy, I leave this comment to enlighten you to this appropriate act of brevity knowing that doing so helps facilitate the transfer of knowledge that everyone who clicked on this video was expecting to find.
