Read the FAQ in the mod description before asking for help
This mod is NOT COMPATIBLE with the normal Daughter of Lolth - Minthara You cannot recruit Minthara using this mod if you install it AFTER going to Act 2
The scene right after the Trial at Moonrise, where Minthara is led to the cells is initialized the MOMENT you begin Act 2. If you are in Act 2 and didn't have this mod to make sure it initialized properly at the start of Act 2, that scene will break and Minthara will not be recruitable. There is no way to reverse this or work around it. This mod MUST be installed before you leave Act I if you want your natural recruitment path. If you want to test it and REALLY make sure it's working, create a save game to act as a checkpoint. Install CheatEngine with the Zanzer BG3 table. Speedrun through Creche zone straight to Moonrise and verify her trial is working. I'll upload a video. This process takes roughly 10-15 minutes to give you peace of mind.
Getting Help: This mod attempts to accomplish something the game tries very hard to make not possible, and includes editing databases, toggling flags, and a variety of other things that can cause issues. I want to be able to help everyone, but I can't solve issues without information. I have probably close to 100 hours writing these mods and solving problems in the forums. So if you have an issue you need to do the following or I won't be able to assist you. Also - I'll be creating an FAQ. If you ask a question that can be answered by reading the FAQ or the description, or this stickied post, I won't reply.
Make a bug report:
Are you on the latest version of mod (If you're not, install it and see it fixes your issue before opening a bug report)
What mods you are currently running
What version of the game you are running
What version of ScriptExtender you are running
What you are using for your ModManager
What is you mod load order
Optionally: A screenshot of the issue or error
Addtionally:
I need you to be prepared to give additional information if requested
If you have Discord, if you are willing to message me if I request can tremendously help identifying issues
Common Issues:
Returning to Act I with Halsin and Minthara recruited will kill Halsin: Looking at how to block this
Minthara is just standing there after the trial, doesn't follow the torturers to prison:
One of two things happened. Either it was a version of my mod where I had a bug or missed some of the conditions for her
It was installed too late. Either way - the only way to get her is to revert to Act I save or use the other mod and summon her with the ring. Apologies for any heartache this causes :(
Minthara is defeated in Act I - and she doesn't disappear into a poof of smoke: The mods script is NOT running (even if the chest has items)
1. Download BG3SE-Updater-with-Console-v3.zip https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/releases 2.Extract the following 2 files to your bin folderDWrite.dll ScriptExtenderSettings.jsonScriptExtenderSettings.json should have this entry by default { "CreateConsole": true }
3.Install this mod Daughter of Lolth - Chosen Path - Logging Enabled using a mod manager (make sure its enabled) 4. Now when you launch the game you should see an additional console window pop up.
So i don't know whether it affects anything but did i need to install this before facing Minthara? Because I'm at moonrise with this mod and she isn't here. Also i pushed her into a chasm so that may affect smth.

You might need to read the description page again.
I went back to the save in Moonrise first time since October, previously recruiting Minthara, and now if I come to the entrance of Moonrise with her I am teleported to Ketheric's throne room and Minthara loses her equipped weapons and becomes unable to cast buffs like Haste and her special on squadmates, error "can only target allies". This isn't fixed by Long Rest also. If I come without her, she disappears from the camp entirely. I also have LethalAI and Tactician handicaps installed, but this never was an issue in October, so likely it is the patch. If anyone found a way around (e.g. using her ring again) or if it fixes after the end of Ketheric arc or Act 2, please share.
Edit: resummoning Minthara with the ring after seems to return her back to ally status. Will test further
The ring is a different mod. And if you are playing a modded save from October-23, you might run into issues later on. So much has changed in the game files since then, and make sure every mod you are using are updated to Patch 6.
Does anyone know if this mod indirectly fixes the owlbear cub disappearing bug? The owlbear cub can disappear at some point while you are in the underdark in act 1 if you don't kill EVERYONE in the goblin camp before it shows up at your camp. I recruited Minthara the vanilla way last playthrough and my owlbear cub disappeared because I left her alive. Just wondering if anyone who has used the mod can confirm that their owlbear stuck around.
I'm having trouble with all sorts of loading (cutscenes starting, climbing animations, cutscenes ending) after the Tiefling Camp Party and I feel like this mod may be causing that?

I've used this mod for over 700 hours, without any issues.
I've played the game for 200 hours without this mod, and 3 hours with this mod. Before, I was having no issues. After, I am having various loading issues.
I uninstalled the mod and continued having loading issues. I think those issues were caused not by this mod, but by another mod. I haven't played with the mod installed afterwards, though.
Not sure what ive done wrong but everything was working fine as the mod described. As soon as i get into Moonrise when im outside the door and look in minthara is there but the moment i go in for the cutscene for ketheric she just disappears
This mod is NOT REQUIRED to get Minthara at all anymore when you want to play a "Good" Route. All you have to do is when in the Goblin Camp, toggle the "Non lethal attacks" Option in your passives and make sure you Knock Minthara out (She should have 1 hp left but be prone on the floor and lootable). It's probably best to try to get her to the Knockout threshold only using weapon attacks because I think some spells might still kill her even with Non Lethal Attacks toggled. All other quests will progress as normal and then in Act 2 when you get to Moonrise tower there's some conversations you have to pass some skill checks for Minthara will be sent to the prison below Moonrise tower then Help her escape the prison and she will join you.
I did this just this last week on a playthrough with 0 Mods.

Yes, Larian's patch-notes has confirmed that. But the same patch-notes admitting it can be a hassle and that if something goes "wrong" in the fight, she will not be at the Tower. So will you chance it by the vanilla method, play for 10 -50 hours, and then find out she's not in the Tower?

And? It's not like installing mods and troubleshooting issues is hassle free. Stop trying to scare people into using a mod if they don't need it to get what they want IE. recruiting Minthara in a "good" run.

This was a new take on mod use. 1) People claim that the mod is not needed any. 2) I agree that it is possible to do vanilla, but I elaborate around the fact that is not a 100% chance, doing it vanilla method. Especially since people fail to inform about the problems, in their eager to write negative posts about a mod. 3) People get upset about me endorsing use of mods. On forum hosted by the world larges modding-community... 4) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
