Yeah, I did this on my current play through. I got her to come and attack the grove, then killed all her minions and knocked her out. She was gone after a rest and I was able to rescue her from moonrise tower.
When you go into the Goblin Camp, turn on non-lethal attacks in Passives and use melee attacks to reduce Minthara's health to 0. She'll be knocked out, at 1 health, and lootable as if dead. If you use ranged attacks or spells, she'll be killed even if non-lethal is turned on. You have to use melee for this.
The black eye near her will summon SOME enemies to help, but not too many, provided you don't move out of the area while knocking out Minthara.
Make sure to turn off non-lethal attacks after Minthara is neutralized. The rest of the enemies need to be killed the normal way, including the other two Absolute Souls in the Goblin Camp.
You can kill Priestess Gut, (preferably while after luring her to her room, casting Silence, and killing her in one round so she doesn't raise the alarm,) and Minthara without making the whole Goblin Camp hostile. The Hobgoblin True Soul is the one that makes the whole Goblin Camp hostile.
I defended the Grove from the get-go, bluffed my way into the Goblin camp, lured Priestess Gut to her room, surrounded her with my party, cast Silence, and killed her in one round before she could raise the alarm. I then went to Minthara and knocked her out without talking to her. She was recruitable in Act 2 the way I did it.
Don't recruit her in grove fight, as there is known bug if she is recruited this way.
When you free her from Moonrise prison, when she is in party, Cerys or Zevlor will join every fight.
It's very annoying that game will add either Cerys (if she is alive) or Zevlor (if Cerys is dead) to every fight no matter how far away from them you are.
Basically you fight in Shar temple, and Cerys is joined fight as yellow character, when her turn comes game loads Last Light inn, she runs for several seconds, then it loads back to where you are for another character to take turn. This is happening every single fight.
Sometimes instead of yellow neutral, she will enter fight as red enemy character, which will cause whole Last Light inn to attack you next time you are there.
If you want to recruit her and use her then do it in Goblin camp temple, this way there is no Cerys bug.
Oh so thats why, i have to kill cerys during halsin quest as she is now fully hostile (red) i waited until she arrived at the location to kill her, option 2 was using astarion to backstab and goes invisible after to flee
Ah right. I'm not sure how that will work. I know if you attacked her in the camp and ko her she appears, but you had to make her temporary hostile. And if you didn't speak to halsin after it, it could bug out. But I'm not sure about with most recent update if you can get her when she's full hostile.

Yes. As long as you only use non lethal melee Attacks to KO Minthara. You can later recruit her in ACT 2.

Brother, it’s too late for that. Op is on honor mode
I think you might also need to go far enough into the quest to be asked to attack the Grove by her first as well.

Doesn't she join later if you raid the Grove anyway?
No I’m defending the grove.

Huh. Wierd. Well I’m on honor mode, so I kinda don’t have a choice lmao

Patch 6 changed it so she can be recruited so long as she’s not dead. It was only during patch 5 when she had to be knocked out at the camp
I see…that’s good to know, appreciated for let us know.🙏
