Where is Minthara in act 1?

1. Minthara is one of the leaders of the Goblin Camp, which is a larger location available in act 1. You must choose one of the options that allows you to infiltrate the camp without starting a fight with the goblins. We have described all the methods to access this location on the page How to get to the goblin camp?.
2. You can find the paladin inside the Shattered Sanctum - the entrance to it is within the campgrounds. Then head to the northeastern part of the location.
3. Be careful when talking to Minthara. You can easily alienate her or she can become one of the bosses. This will happen, for example, if you reveal your intentions about finding and wanting to save the imprisoned druid Halsin.
4. You have to take the side of the goblins, that is, indicate the correct location of the Druid Grove and tell her that you want to participate in the joint attack on this location. Do not deceive Minthara by giving her the false location of the Druid Grove, as it will only delay your relation getting worsened.
5. The chance to recruit Minthara appears after a joint attack on the Druid Grove - don't let her die. Invite Minthara to join your party or send her back to the camp. Do not reject the option to add her to the party.

How to gain the approval of the paladin?

You can accumulate positive relationship points with Minthara by:

1. in making decisions consistent with her beliefs;
2. participating in the attack on Druid Grove and continuing cooperation with them;
3. not having companions with whom Minthara may have a conflict.

You can romance Minthara as any of the genders. We described the romance in a separate chapter of the guide.
