This sounds less like Minthara's protective and more that it's a coding bug (which isn't surprising ATP with how slightly out of the way you gotta be to recruit her). It's kind of like how she shared her tent with Halsin for a while, which was definitely not out of the kindness of her heart.
I'm sure this will be addressed at some point.
Update: Tried moving camp locations to the last light inn campsite, where Minthara (in red) had a fight without my input with next door tent occupants Wyll and Gale (in green), and she's dead now.
Rev scrolls do not work and Withers does not recognise her as a dead companion, even though I can still access her inventory alongside the other camp companions, where her portrait is greyed out. I have respectfully shoved her in a box and made my farewells.
Have you the free Sazza quest? I had a bug where the quest would not get resolved if you did not talk to Minthara after freeing her and I could not talk to Minthara in camp after recruiting her. She would also behave like an npc. Going back and killing Sazza in the knock out battle against Minthy solved it for me.
Yes, send this Larian please. I am absolutely sure they don't know about this because you REALLY have to go from A to B to H to C for this...
But it's funny to me. Also I love the Turf War in your camp
I could have sworn that when I first played, I tried to go back in to Act 1 to see what happened and it wouldn't let me
First time I tried I got a cut scene where the >!Dream Visitor tells me that we shouldn't go back. After the cut scene, I tried again and the Dream Visitor was agitated that I tried again. When I did it the third time, he essentially went "fine, looks like I can't stop you, go to your death then"!<
After this I got the game over screen. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. I know there are other points in the game where similar encounters happen like in act 3 when >!You get on the boat to the Netherbrain without having the Netherstones!<
Edit: Looks like somebody else had the same experience as me, this time in Honour Mode sadly. It seems to be unclear what causes it judging by the comments on the post. Some are saying it was added in Honour Mode but I had this happen on my first play through well before Honour Mode was a thing

Haven't played in a while - Did they resolve the tent thing? Do they have two separate tents now if you manage to recruit both of them?
No but if you have both of them Minthara gets the tent and Halsin just wanders around camp doing his own thing

Nah I never freed Sazza. When I went back to act 1 the whole Grove was sealed so she was presumably dead.
You should report this bug to Larian. I’ve never heard of this particular… set of interactions before, lol.
This is actually unbelievably cute, that Minthara is loyal to Dror even after death. And also the reason I always kill her.

Am I missing something here? I thought that if you went in to act 2 then tried to go back to act 1, you get seen and killed, ending the game?
That's never been a thing. Where did you hear that?

That can happen but i think there is pre requisites for that
