Objectives and journal entries may vary pending story decisions and outcomes.
==Walkthrough==
===Reunions===
If Minthara survived Act One the party can encounter her in Moonrise Towers, where she is judged by and . Regardless of success or failure with any checks, Minthara is ultimately taken away to be killed unless the party attacks. 
=== Fighting to free Minthara ===
If attacking, all characters of Moonrise turn hostile, starting a tough fight. Minthara must then be escorted out, although she fights with the party as an ally. Using skill checks to talk the way past Tower occupants is then not possible anymore and cannot be completed.
=== Avoiding the fight and speaking to the Inquisitors===
If the party avoided the fight, Minthara can then be found downstairs in Moonrise Towers Prison. The Deep Gnomes and are in the process of breaking and, ultimately, ereasing her mind. They can be allowed to do so and bring the quest to an early end. Otherwise passing a or a allows the player character to step in and take over. 
=== Attacking the Inquisitors ===
If attacking Sumera and Jasin, Minthara assists in the fight as an ally of the party. After they are both defeated, she asks to be escorted out of Moonrise.
===Talking to Minthara===
If the party steps in and takes over, Minthara is initially unable to talk as she battles The Absolute, which is trying to possess her mind. Passing a allows communication with her and either:
* Convincing her to pretend her mind is broken
* Telling her to fight with the party
* Erasing her mind
If Minthara pretends her mind is broken, passing a final , , or Check (DC 18) convinces Sumera and Jasin to leave. A failure of any check leads to either fighting against the Inquisitors or allowing Minthara's mind to be erased.
The Dark Urge will gain the Inspiration titled Soulful Lobotomy if they personally erase Minthara's mind.
===The great escape===
If freed, regardless of methods used, Minthara must be escorted out of Moonrise Towers. It is not possible to go to camp or use a waypoint to do this; the party and Minthara must leave on foot.
If released from Sumera and Jasin's inquisition, Minthara becomes an Attached Follower to the player character; she cannot be equipped with gear, but can be controlled with her (unarmed) attacks and spells.
It is not recommended to instruct Minthara to wait, because this can trigger a bug which makes Minthara uninteractable.
If no fight broke out before, then it is possible to walk out with Minthara peacefully. This requires a selection of ability checks with:
* The guard just outside Minthara's cell (, , )
* The two guards guarding the front door to Moonrise (DC 14 in all cases)
Alternatively, the party may try to avoid these encounters, such as with or by casting on Minthara. One possibile path is heading north-east from the docks and then crossing the broken section of the pathway by using .
If the prison guards are already dead but the Ironhand gnomes have not been freed yet, completing and escaping by boat offers an escape route where convincing only one guard is required.
=== Afterwards ===
Once Minthara has left Moonrise Towers' boundaries, she can be spoken to and either told to go her own way or head to camp where she can finally be recruited as Companion.
==Reward==

;If Minthara was given the camp's location
* 145 XP
* as a companion
* Characters with the Noble or Urchin background will gain inspiration, if Minthara is recruited on wrap up.
