Understanding Minthara in Baldur's Gate 3
A mighty Drow Paladin, Minthara, is an intriguing NPC in Baldur's Gate 3. Part of the Absolute Cult and one of the three Goblin Chiefs, she plays a crucial role in the first act of the game. Despite being a formidable adversary, the game also presents the possibility for her to be an unexpected ally. It appeals to those who choose the Dark Urge origin in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3).
Approaching Minthara in Different Ways
One of the unique aspects of Baldur's Gate 3 is its flexible approach options to Minthara and any significant NPC. You can choose a full-frontal attack, stealth, or even bear up. Each strategy will significantly affect your relationship with Minthara.
Dealing with Minthara: BG3 Action Paths
- Kill Minthara at her location: Goblin Camp
- Draw Minthara to the Emerald Grove, then betray her
- Join forces with Minthara and attack the Emerald Grove
Defeat Minthara at the Goblin Camp: An Action Guide
A simple yet exciting way to tackle Minthara is a confrontation at the Goblin Camp in Baldur's Gate 3. After dealing with Priestess Gut, head across the camp to confront Minthara in the Shattered Sanctum. Winning this fight without Halsin's aid could prove a challenge. Luckily, you can also lead her to Emerald Grove and eliminate her with one arrow, but be aware that doing so means losing the chance to loot her corpse.
Double-Crossing Minthara: Strategy in the Emerald Grove
Another strategy involves turning Minthara against herself at Emerald Grove.
After informing her about the grove, go back there and rest. Upon waking, please consult with a tiefling leader to alert them about the impending goblin attack spearheaded by Minthara. Refuse her telepathic persuasion to kill tieflings, and the fight will instantly ensue. Ensure you save your progress as you'll face an army of goblins, drow, and damage-resistant spiders.Joining Minthara: Raiding Emerald Grove Scenario
Suppose you'd instead avoid fighting the mighty paladin. In that case, you can side with her, betraying the tiefling refugees at Emerald Grove. This brutal move resulted in many casualties. However, the fight will be much more manageable. Post-battle, Minthara, feeling exhilarated from the victory, offers a deeper relationship with your character. However, this ruthless act will upset Karlach and Wyll enough to leave your camp permanently, considerably altering the course of the game.
Recruitment without Raiding: Easy Pathway
Recruiting Minthara without attacking the Grove is also possible. Internet forums reveal strategies to team up with Minthara without participating in the massacre. Even though your hands are clean, your decisions still lead to significant bloodshed and the equivalent consequences. Nevertheless, if you're comfortable with this indirect approach, it's an alternative to consider.
