Minthara is a fierce goblin leader in Baldur’s Gate 3 whom you encounter during Act 1. Being a drow, she is hellbent on gaining the approval of the Absolute and will do anything to achieve it. With patch 5, you can now recruit Minthara without hurting Halsin’s questline. This will open a box of new opportunities and allow you to witness various endings for Minthara in BG3.
The story progression for Minthara is a bit complex, and you can lose her with a simple mistake. In this guide, we will help you with recruiting her and even kill her if you want to experience multiple endings for her. Stick with us to find a multitude of endings you can have for Minthara in BG3.
Killed inside Goblin Camp
Once you reach the Druid Grove, you will get the mission to rescue Halsin from the Goblin Camp. Three Goblin Leaders run this enemy camp, and Minthara is one of them.
In order to clear the camp, you must kill all three Goblin Leaders. This will allow you to progress Halsin’s story and make it possible to recruit him. However, Minthara is not an easy enemy to take down.
Once you kill Minthara to clear Goblin Camp and save the Druid Grove, her story will come to an abrupt end. This is considered a bad ending for Minthara in BG3.
Dies in the battle against Grove
If you talk to Minthara instead of trying to kill her, she will ask you to join her cause by showing your fealty. She will ask you to ring the drums inside the Druid Grove to signal her to attack and open the gates for her army.
Agree to her and then ambush her army with your allies. This will give you an advantage as you will have an army of druids and tieflings fighting alongside you.
No matter how the battle proceeds, it will always result in the untimely death of Minthara. This is another bad ending for the Drow leader.
Killed by the Dark Urge
If you are playing as the Dark Urge, you will join Minthara in attacking the Druid Grove (listening to your urge). Once all the druids and tieflings are killed, there will be a party at your camp when you long rest.
You will see that your Dark Urge wants to kill Minthara by breaking her neck. This will not be a dream as you will kill her, and you can discover her dead body the next day at your camp. This is another bad ending for Minthara in BG3.
Lost in the Moonrise Towers Forever
If you side with Minthara or spare her during Act 1, your next encounter with her will be inside the Moonrise Towers. She will be kept there as a prisoner for failing the task to find the Artefact for the absolute.
No matter how things play out, she will be transferred to the dungeons below. You can save her at this point if you want to recruit her, or simply ignore her like she doesn’t even exist. This marks the end of her story as she will be kept in the dungeon for an eternity.
A Rebellious Leader
This is one of the two good endings for Minthara in BG3. If you recruit Minthara as a companion in good playthrough, upon defeating the Elder Brain at the end of Act 3, she will decide to return to the Underdark to fight for her house, Baenre.
If you have romanced Minthara, you can accompany her and start the revolution. If not, she will return to Withers’ party six months later and tell you of her adventures and how she managed to start a successful rebellion.
A Victim of the Dark Lord
If you play the game as the Dark Urge and Minthara makes it to the end of the game, she and your Bloodline will urge you to betray the Mindflayer and take the mantle for yourself.
No matter which choice you make for her, Minthara won’t survive what comes next. She will just be another victim of the Dark Urge ending in BG3.
Becoming the Absolute
If on a normal playthrough, you decide to betray the Mindflayer at the end of Act 3 and decide to become the Absolute by passing the constitution check, you will get two options regarding Minthara.
If you have romanced Minthara, she will join you as a ruler. This is another happy ending for Minthara, as it will allow her to complete her lifelong goal of being a ruthless leader.
However, if you didn’t romance Minthara, she will face the same fate as the other members of your party. She will either die or become a Mindflayer to bolster your forces against the rest of the creatures.
