To save the Tieflings and Minthara, you need to resolve the conflict between the druids and the Tieflings in the Emerald Grove without killing either side, and then ensure Minthara survives the battle against the Goblin Camp by knocking her out instead of killing her, allowing you to progress the plot and potentially recruit her as a companion. By doing so, you can prevent the Tieflings from being pushed out of the grove and save Minthara from certain death, while also opening up the possibility of recruiting her as a companion without having to commit to an evil playthrough.
Understanding the Conflict
Resolving the conflict between the druids and the Tieflings requires careful consideration and strategic decision-making, as the fate of both groups hangs in the balance. To save the Tieflings, you can speak to them, and they’ll ask you to discuss an escape plan with Wulbren, which involves obtaining a great club or other suitable tool to smash open the wall at the back of his cell.
Saving Minthara
Saving Minthara involves a different set of circumstances, as you’ll need to attack the Goblin Camp and knock her out instead of killing her, which will allow the game to treat the outcome as a victory while still keeping Minthara alive. After a Long Rest, Minthara will wake up in the same spot where you knocked her out, providing an opportunity to recruit her as a companion later in the game.
