Minthara & Halsin react to the "Rite of Thorns" after it seals the Grove

“You think some roots and branches can stop me?” -Minthara, shortly before getting stopped by some roots and branches

Minthara: you believe their roots and branches can stand against the absolute? it will FALL 5 mins later the druids enchantment is impassible 👁️👄👁️

Everybody's talking about Minthara's hilarious reaction but goddamn poor Halsin! 😭I didn't know it was possible to rescue him after the Rite of Thorns gets completed.

The way she also underestimated the Rite of Thorns but gets mad at you for the same thing LMAO

It took a bit, but... The Rite of Thorns does, basically, what they said it does. it seals off an area in nigh impassable, magic roots, that seal everything out and everyone in. Sounds great for druids, right? Well, except it seals everything in, and there's really no way back out without very high level magic, or direct divine intervention. From what little I could find, druids stopped doing it as most circles who actually pulled it off would ultimately end up killing eachother, as there really wasn't variation in how the circle would change, everything would pretty much remain protected, and as such the druids would have nothing to do but ultimately resent not being able to leave. Halsin is bummed because he more or less knows that the best case scenario is that they survive, but most likely all the people and animals within are dead within a few years

This is literally the first time I have ever even heard of the possibility of the druids completing the rite. Fucking incredible

500+ hours into this game and I didn’t even know this was possible.

So basically, everyone loses. Druids trap themselves forever, Halsin can no longer return, and Minthara throws a tantrum.

I looked it up a bit and there’s several triggers for this event: -Kill either Kagha or Zevlor (each of them will give you a quest to assassinate the other, but do not kill all the druids) then long rest -Travel to the Mountainpass before resolving the conflict at the grove -Contrary to popular belief, multiple longrests do not trigger this event In order to save Halsin, you need to rescue him then tell him to wait in the prison area, he will remain there until you have dealt with the goblin or this event triggered then you can tell him about it

Her confident quirky smile before absolute failure. I love her so much lol. (Not thinking that she was planning whole ass genocide there xD)

How is the voice acting for Halsin so good with the face acting being so flat? You hear the pain and devastation in his voice, but his face hardly changes

Minthara " are you saying that you have given up on the absolutes will so easily as to just give up by some thorns and branches." 😂

Thats why either Kagha or Shadow druids dies for me.

Poor Halsin! My sweet man-bear! 😭😭😭

Halsin just giving up is such a "bruh" moment

I was curious about what would happen if they went through with it. thanks for showing

Minthara's little temper tantrum was the best part

I've never does this route... I assume allbthe entrances are closed off, like the cliff side where lakrissa is sitting, and secret tunnel?

Poor dude looks like hes about to burst into tears. So sorry, Halsin.

I came across this on my last play through and I thought it was some glitch 🤣😂🤣
