Minthara is a non-playable character (NPC) and can be a potential boss or companion in Baldur’s Gate 3. She is a ruthless Drow preparing an assault on Druid Grove. Bosses in the game are powerful enemies with increased health, presenting a significant challenge to players.
Minthara can initially be found in Act I within the Shattered Sanctum, located inside the Goblin Camp. If players side with her, they can embark on a branching storyline that allows them to align with the Goblins, leading to the quest “Raid the Grove.” This quest can potentially lead to recruiting her in Act II. In Act II, Minthara is found on trial and under torture in the Moonrise Towers. Rescuing her here offers the opportunity to officially recruit her as a companion. However, if players side with the Tieflings and eliminate the goblins, they will end up killing Minthara. The same outcome occurs if players initially side with her but later fail to convince her of their shared affiliation with the Absolute.
Gaining Minthara’s approval is essential for befriending or romancing her. Some actions that increase her approval include:
