It is unfortunate so few players will get to see it because you need to sacrifice other major characters and plotlines to get her. Even the neutral approach results in no halsin, tieflings, dammon (with many impacts), zevlor, or odd oxen. The typical approach of attacking the grove (the one they expect you to take) also loses Wyl and Karlach. You cut off a lot of the game by getting her and its not like it adds new secondary characters in. They should have had a goblin survivors tribe in act 3 (rejected as useless by absolute armies) and had Sazza and Ragzlin be recruitable.

I mean, she actually has a really good point. In times of war an crisis, when a city is under siege only those who physically could not help defending would be exhempt from helping. Men, women, children, young and old. Everyone would help. However they could. Kids could carry food, arrows, stones and first aid supplies to the defenders, Women would oftn cook large amounts of food or Mend Damaged Armor (Coats, gloves, boots etc) or help kids with the prior tasks. Young folk and old alike would be set to defend, those with no training in combat would likely to be stone throwers, lookouts or tasked with building barricades. There were tons of tasks to be done and no hands would turned away. So Baldurs gate not accepting the refugees is actually a really bad decision on the citys part.

Honestly, love Minth, she's someone who's introspective, shrewd, and harshly unpredictable in a beleivable way. Though she would most likely be seen as a more "evil" person than good, she doesn't draw lines between good and evil herself, only intent. She doesn't waste words nor time. She presents her opinions and feelings bluntly, thoughtfully, and unapologetically and won't hesitate to point out when you aren't doing the same. Personally, that speaks a lot to me, seeing as I tend to be similar. Talks with her were by far the more memorable and interesting conversations I've had in the game, especially with the added dynamics of playing as my beloved Urge.
I love how Minthara acts like she's surprised they won't let the refugees into Baldur's Gate as if she wasn't literally trying to hunt down and murder an entire camp full of refugees earlier in the game.
@@l.e.b.3541 yeah but that didn't stop her from thoroughly enjoying the prospect of murdering defenseless people. She enjoyed doing it so much she got turned on by it.
She's more surprised at the city not using the refugees as easy slave labor to take advantage of their desperation more so than anything else. Which kind of makes it worse in such a hilariously backwards way.
Well she was super mind controller and assumed the grove had the artefact(assuming you didn’t tell her, but honestly why would you tell he prior to moonrise when she makes it clear it’s all she cares about)
I really do love how she is the epitome of lawful evil. Yes, she has a different kind of moral standards than your average player due to the culture she grew up in, but she does have them. She does not do stupid shit just for the sake of being evil, she is pragmatic and does and suggests what she thinks is the best course of action, entirely seriously. It´s a kind of depth many evil characters in fiction lack.
at the very least evil at the start, and set the grove on fire, metaphoricly.. then after you save best girl you can (somwehat) get back on track. though i'd kinda enjoy a party of menthara, shadowheard (dark route) and astarion being generally evil in act 2-3. lets you experience the other side of the game and kudos to lariant for actually alllowing us to go down that road. to many games push you to hard to just be the good hero that might be morally questionable sometimes. but in the end you'll still save the world. so. again, good job to lariant for letting us explore this side aswell.
@@Acranify That evil playthrough is what I just went through. Lawful Evil party of Dark Urge, Shadowheart (Path of Shar), Astarion (Ascendant Vampire), and Drow Dommy Mommy. Quite a bit of fun, tbh, and a great change of pace from a good playthrough.
Now I'm really tempted to do a an evil run Dark Urge run with Minthara. Only done good Tav and slightly evil Dark Urge run so maybe I'll actually do another playthrough. This game really wants you to play again and again.
yeah she's a perfect evil companion. Evil Shadowheart also matches evil Durge pretty well. Astarion on the other hand only makes sense if you don't romance him / break up, he's either too sweet or too disrespectful
I really hate how well they did Minthara's voice acting and interactions; without giving her character a full complete (non-broken) companion playthrough.
"And if they work hard enough for long enough, the city might allow them to earn their freedom one day." Y'all remember when she admitted she tells blatant lies when someone's empathy makes her uncomfortable?
You have a point here, but her entire character arc is about freedom. She's fine with the concept of mortal slavery because that is something that CAN be fought against. Slavery to gods/demons/planar entities though, she's all about protecting the Greater Good. She's pragmatic too - employed men work harder than slaves do and using an indentured servitude system rather than out and out slavery is a good compromise from her POV. Especially if they're shorter-lived mortals that will value short-term goals over her longer-lived ones. I love her but I gotta get at least like a Lawful Neutral ending with her or something before I'm willing to romance her. She reminds me a great deal of one of my own characters, where the cold facade hides hot-blooded passion. In my character's case, she starts Lawful Evil as a child, but moves more towards Lawful Neutral as her final development. She ascends to be come a Goddess of Death, but employs Empathy at every step. "If I am to decide who is to die, then I will experience it with them as penance." Dunno if Minth could ever develop to that point of keeping the hyper violence but changing the motives behind their usage, but I can fanfic it.
Bro if there’s gonna be a DLC for this already near perfect game, it’s gotta be a personal questline for Minthara! Hell, make her an origin character as well! I’d pay good money!
Look anyone in the comments says that u have to sacrifice other companions or karlach for example but it’s wrong. U can get minthara without killing anyone.just never go to goblin camp and when u see general thorm she is over there begging for mercy and u can free her from the cell under ground of the moonrise tower. Thats how i got her with karlach in my team
The Tieflings dies that way though. So you cant finish Karlachs quest or get some of the best armor in the game from Dammon. Armor that is BiS on Minthara, which is the real irony.
The other companions are just your employees who do what you say at the end of the day most of the time. Minthara is the CEO that staged a hostile takeover.
Since i decided to breach and clear goblin fortress this lady fell victim to my pesky back stabs and i figured out that she's a potential companion just by set of clothes that was on her corpse. Her fault for being among enemy combatants though.
The first one was the best convo I had with Minthara. There I was thinking she really wanted to help the refugees but then you hear her say that they'll work to earn their freedom 😂 Had me laughing
Ah the Lord Admiral Jenit Sulla grace us with her presence in a video game. How very very very enjoyable. Ciaphas Cain would be equally exhilarated and horrified.
dragonborn tavs being like :O 👁👄👁 whenever they're mildly inconvenienced in a conversation will never not be hilarious and is half the reason I main dragonborn
Everyone in this game sounds absolutely sick with a cockney accent, so anytime I play, I picture my toon speaking with one as well. During my playthrough, when Minthara made that comment about letting refugees in the city, I was like "Yew fokken roof'less slag, ya need slaves, innit?" and she LITERALLY SAID THE NEXT LINE that she ain't doing shit for charity, the city needs laborers, and maybe one day the laborers can earn their freedom. LMAO all ratings and game awards outlets will be razed to the ground if this doesn't win GOTY.

I really hate how well they did Minthara's voice acting and interactions; without giving her character a full complete (non-broken) companion playthrough.
LMAO my favorite is the look on the MC's face at 1:17 when she says she'll break her neck
lmao the PCs reaction to what Mintharar said at 1:20 was hilarious
She's supposed to be characteristically evil with a capital E, but post absolute mind control a lot of the stuff she says is really sensible.
She is the daughter of one of the high houses in Menzobarranzaan. She was born to lead.
"And if they work hard enough for long enough, the city might allow them to earn their freedom one day."
Y'all remember when she admitted she tells blatant lies when someone's empathy makes her uncomfortable?
You have a point here, but her entire character arc is about freedom. She's fine with the concept of mortal slavery because that is something that CAN be fought against. Slavery to gods/demons/planar entities though, she's all about protecting the Greater Good. She's pragmatic too - employed men work harder than slaves do and using an indentured servitude system rather than out and out slavery is a good compromise from her POV. Especially if they're shorter-lived mortals that will value short-term goals over her longer-lived ones.
I love her but I gotta get at least like a Lawful Neutral ending with her or something before I'm willing to romance her. She reminds me a great deal of one of my own characters, where the cold facade hides hot-blooded passion. In my character's case, she starts Lawful Evil as a child, but moves more towards Lawful Neutral as her final development. She ascends to be come a Goddess of Death, but employs Empathy at every step. "If I am to decide who is to die, then I will experience it with them as penance." Dunno if Minth could ever develop to that point of keeping the hyper violence but changing the motives behind their usage, but I can fanfic it.
Minthara always makes things more interesting, and she is a constant source of deadpan comedy. Best mid-game companion!
A dark elf with the voice of an Adeptus Sororita, I really regret pushing her off a cliff my first playthrough.
First 30 seconds. had me like hey Minthara aint that bad.,
"Then maybe they can earn their freedom." Hold up
Minthara is so freaking cool. She needs so much more.
As a player who favors going chaos or evil routes in campaigns, I love her.
Damn, I just gotta comment, that thumbnail looks like it's a real person, kudos to both Larian art team and you for catching a expression.
I so wish I could play as minthara
Bro if there’s gonna be a DLC for this already near perfect game, it’s gotta be a personal questline for Minthara! Hell, make her an origin character as well! I’d pay good money!
Look anyone in the comments says that u have to sacrifice other companions or karlach for example but it’s wrong. U can get minthara without killing anyone.just never go to goblin camp and when u see general thorm she is over there begging for mercy and u can free her from the cell under ground of the moonrise tower. Thats how i got her with karlach in my team
The Tieflings dies that way though. So you cant finish Karlachs quest or get some of the best armor in the game from Dammon. Armor that is BiS on Minthara, which is the real irony.
100% Best Girl without a doubt.
0:15 minthara solving illegal immigration crisis in five seconds
From immigration to slavery
1:22 the dragonborn literally pogged 😂
She does get me feelin' a certain kind of way
1:40 typical baldurs gate, when you have a plus 14 bonus you roll a nat 20, but when you need a little luck only ones
I was not ready for clown Minthara.
Minthara is that girl that would gladly help you hide the bodies.....
Or put them on a pike in the front yard as a warning
I love her so much🥵
having the ending schene with clown makeup and blood is wild lol
The other companions are just your employees who do what you say at the end of the day most of the time. Minthara is the CEO that staged a hostile takeover.
1:20 Durge's face 🤣
1:15 The dragonborn's "oh no she didn't!" face got me.
This is definitively the hottest Juggalo romance scene from BG3 that is circulating.
i am so glad that in my first playthrough as Dark Urge i had minthara as closest ally and lover, it fit so well. Minthara best girl
She also likes your Slayer form😊
Minthara: "Does the dog think it can intimidate us? If it continues to bark, I will snap its neck."
Dark Urge: "OoooOOOOoooh!" xD
Evil woman save me
Evil woman
Save me evil woman
Since i decided to breach and clear goblin fortress this lady fell victim to my pesky back stabs and i figured out that she's a potential companion just by set of clothes that was on her corpse. Her fault for being among enemy combatants though.
She senses your deepest thoughts. "Who is this Mommy of whom you devote so much of your mind? And what exactly is "pegging"?"
I just started laughing so hard I started crying when I saw the clown
I lost it at the clown makeup 🤣🤣🤣
Man i love minthara i had her doing so much damagae with a greatsword and all her smites !!
The stupid lil face after hearing mintharas remark at 1:24 always makes me giggle
1:47 Astarions face😂😂😂😂 I CAN'T
With that clown paint on her, she is, indeed, a servant of Lols, I am not going to lie XD XD XD
To hell with Lolth! I establish the church of Lols
The first one was the best convo I had with Minthara. There I was thinking she really wanted to help the refugees but then you hear her say that they'll work to earn their freedom 😂 Had me laughing
Clown minthara could do terrible things to me, and I would thank her
Ah the Lord Admiral Jenit Sulla grace us with her presence in a video game. How very very very enjoyable. Ciaphas Cain would be equally exhilarated and horrified.
I appreciate how BASED Minthara is...
Minthara made me want to see all of Menzoberranzan.
other people "i want to fix her"
me "i want to join her"
plus i love me a woman with good communication skills
If you use the clown makeup twice on the same day it doesn’t go away after a long rest. :)
I am sorry but her camp outfit reminds me of scorpion's fit from mortal kombat 9 and i can not unsee this
Clown Minthara speakin about her sad past..... I can't take her seriously 😂😂
dragonborn tavs being like :O 👁👄👁 whenever they're mildly inconvenienced in a conversation will never not be hilarious and is half the reason I main dragonborn
if only you could recruit her in a good playthrough
like making her realize the truth of things and the like
I think if you free Halsin but don't kill Minthara you can rescue her in Act II without having to wipe out the Tieflings in Act I.
@@kodo2795they still dies on the road i think
Minthara smiling in that thumbnail is scarier than that clown from IT
Everyone in this game sounds absolutely sick with a cockney accent, so anytime I play, I picture my toon speaking with one as well. During my playthrough, when Minthara made that comment about letting refugees in the city, I was like "Yew fokken roof'less slag, ya need slaves, innit?" and she LITERALLY SAID THE NEXT LINE that she ain't doing shit for charity, the city needs laborers, and maybe one day the laborers can earn their freedom. LMAO all ratings and game awards outlets will be razed to the ground if this doesn't win GOTY.
I like the way Tav reacts at 1:22 based on what minthara said.
god i wish i remembered i could have her as a squadmate in my playthrough before i ended up killing her
