SAVE Halsin & Minthara: The Rite of Thorns Method in Baldur's Gate 3 #bg3 #baldursgate3

in this video I'm going to tell you a method of how to recruit hson and myara uh which involves having the right of thorns be completed subscribe to the line This Wilson Channel we give you the secrets to crush balers Gate 3 so since patch one lar has made it very clear that they do not think you should be able to recruit hon and Menara and have made it substantially harder to do that but we've shown you on this channel about the Sheep method where you can turn Menara into sheep and actually have the good outcome for the T Ling so all the T Lings survive and you'll be able to recruit Menara and hson in that playthrough but that's a bit involved and maybe you wanted to have more of a chaotic bad playr this is kind of the route for somebody that wanted to do that but also have hon and Menara in their party while there's less of the glitchiness of the sheep transformation and dominate beast and all those other spells in this The Ordering of this really matters and if you get the ordering wrong or if you do it slightly wrong then it all goes pearshaped and you won't get Menara first thing is that you want to have not done anything in the goblin camp and you've not killed kaga you've not stopped the ride of thorns by confronting her with the shadow Druids evidence so you've not done any of that it's also important if you do have a character that triggers the Druid tling conflict that you turn off opportunity attacks if you if your character attacks any tling or any Druid then will and carlac will leave your party you want to go into the inventory and that part of the menu that has opportunity attacks and I would turn off all those things that you need to be prompted for those don't do it automatically then the easiest way to do this is to have one of your companions it could be a hireling I'm having Carlock do it in this case and I've taken off all her armor cuz I'm going to let her die cuz that's just quicker than try trying to escape the Grove when the craziness happens when everybody's attacking each other all we're going to do is we're going to push the statue so just do a push we don't need to we don't need to throw it we're not going to pick it up we're not going to put it in our inventory for sure we're just do do a push to the Statue and if it falls falls off I don't think that matters if it stays on I don't think that matters just as long as it's not in your inventory and so that The Druids can finish the right of thorns once they've wiped out all the tlinks and then I'm turning up to tactician mode make sure that Carlock dies quickly here and Carlock and will will stay in your party after this right so they're not going to be they're already you want to have if you want those you want Carlock in particular you need to do this after you've Rec recruited Carlock and then once a Carlock dies do a long rest you can resurrect her before the long rest and then you should come back and the right of thorns should be completed check that the right of thorns is completed and there's Vines covering up the emerald Grove so I've done this like every way wrong and part of the ways wrong that you can do this is if you trigger the right of thorns by going to the mountain pass or into the shadow cursed lands that won't work and houseon will be dead when you come back another thing that won't work is that after you trigger the ride of thorns by pushing the idol of sylvenus it must be true that hson has not been sprung from the war pens in the goblin Camp you have not it must be your first conversation with Hon for this to work otherwise you will not get the dialogue option talking about the right of thorns next step is to go to the goblin camp and talk to house so in the goblin Camp you can really kill people in the work pens uh with impunity and that's pretty much what you need to do to Spring Howen without aggroing the rest of the camp uh before recruiting Howen I or I might have killed princess gut but you need to just talk to and who also goes off in a side room which is really easy not to aggro the whole camp but I did not kill all of the goblin leaders and definitely I didn't aggro bendar that's who you do not want to a uh so you talk to Howen and tell him if it's the first time you talk to him you can tell him that the r of thorns is completed and he will leave the goblin Camp so the big problem with Howen is he'll insist that you kill all three Goblin leaders before he will leave right and if he does not leave and you go through the mountain pass or you go up the Grim Forge elevator into the shadow cursed lands he'll end up dead in the war pens that's that's what happened after patch one uh so you want him to get out of the the goblin camp and he'll do that if he's told that the Grove is basically sealed off and he has nothing to do and he'll want to camp with it you and he'll start becoming a camp follower now he's not a full companion yet you can't get him to be a full companion until you partially lift the shadow curse by getting thanel through the the portal in act two now how's your follower you can play the game normally however you want to as long as you do not aggro or kill Menara so don't knock her out don't fight her don't get her so that she's fighting you so that she's hostile and then go through the mountain pass at some point or up the Grim Forge elevator into the act two region of the Shadow cursed lands once you do that Menara will be transported from the goblin Camp to the moonrise Towers where she will be judged by Krick Thor right and so that's how you recruit menar you go to the moonrise Towers uh go to the basement where she's being tortured spring her out if you get her out of moonrise Tower she'll ask to join your Camp have her join your camp and then she's a member of so she's a follower and she if you have already recruited hous you can have by getting the loot uh to art or if you've uh if art was dead resurrecting art and getting him to talk about thanel after he's dead or after he's heard the loot or he's seen the loot uh his loot which is um it is held by malus thorm the surgeon and the the house of healing that is in his inventory so you can get it from his dead corpse or you can pickpocket him uh to get that that is necessary if art is still alive and that will trigger that portal which you have to defend for like five or six turns without the portal being destroyed and then after that basically hon is a companion and he can you you can go adventuring with Hon as a companion so you can spring Menara before or after you have hson as a full companion but there's a real big catch and the Big Catch is that if you ever go back with hen and Menara sharing a 10 if you ever go back to the Act One region or the Grim Forge so if you go back to the Early Access regions Grim Forge and uh the where the goblin Camp is for example then House of will die so it's very important that when you recruit Menara you are totally done with everything you want to do in the act one Grim Forge region right uh you can go back to the mountain pass but the early axis regions you cannot go back to if you go back to hson will be dead if you resurrect him he'll say the Goblins in the drought killed him as if he were still in the goblin Camp it it's it's a glitch I I think it's it's a bug it's not not it's going to be patched at some point probably uh but this is a way to get a save in here I mean this is obviously a you're pretty much plotting the tling death here uh but getting away with it without without not doing it directly you've also you can't fix carlock's Helen heart so you can't do that Quest Damon's going to be dead you this is just basically if you wanted to do kind of a neutral to bad playr uh but also wanted to have hson and mentho in that single playr then you can do it you know you're not going to get as much xp as if you were killing all the Goblins uh but I think you can kill most of the Goblins just as long as you don't aggro menar I only killed one Goblin leader when I tested this uh but maybe you could get away with killing two so good luck be careful with the steps because it's very uh it'll go wrong if you get the steps wrong I think the final thing is that I've not tested this into act three so it's conceivable that hson dies when you guys move to act three but maybe not uh so it's it may be just kind of an act one thing the act one just kind of triggers that but it's conceivable if I played all the way through and I got to act three that hson would die immediately when we get to act three I I have no idea so good luck let me know your experience when you test this and I want to thank crazy Mike 9907 uh for helping me with this very tricky method and I'll link to one of his videos
