Template:CompanionTab Minthara Baenre is a drow paladin of the Absolute and potential Companion or antagonist in Baldur's Gate 3. She can be found at the Shattered Sanctum inside the Goblin Camp, planning an attack on the Druid Grove in the name of the Absolute.
Overview
Background
Minthara is a member of House Baenre, and a True Soul and leader of the cult of the Absolute. She and her fellow cultists, Gut and Dror Ragzlin, set up a base of operations in an old Selûnite temple in the wilderness, in search for a mysterious artefact by order of the Absolute.
Minthara herself believed the artefact to be in possession of the druids at the Emerald Grove, sending out scouting parties to try and discern the grove's location.
Personality
Being a drow and follower of the Absolute, Minthara has a highly hostile and cruel attitude towards other beings, considering pretty much everyone as inferior. She has a special disdain for those who do not share her beliefs, and as a drow noble, she holds other drow characters in high regard.
Despite her apparent devotion, a player who romances her can find that she has doubts regarding the Absolute and its actions.
Recruitment
Although Minthara can be encountered in Act One, she cannot join the player's party as a permanent companion before reaching Moonrise Towers in Act Two.
In order to recruit Minthara, she must remain alive during Act One (it is not necessary to help her raid the grove, however). As of patch 5, knocking her out (must be temporarily unconscious) counts as keeping her alive for the purposes of this, allowing players who wish to save the Tieflings to still be able to recruit her. After reaching Moonrise Towers, Minthara will be sent to Moonrise Towers Prison, where she can be rescued and finally recruited.

Romance
- See Minthara/Romance
Minthara can be romanced.
Act One
Minthara is first found at the Goblin Camp, planning an attack on Emerald Grove. The player can choose to help her raid the Emerald Grove, but helping her in this instance is not required for recruitment. As of Patch 5, Minthara can remain available for later recruitment whilst still completing "Defeat the Goblins" by knocking her out. However, Minthara must be rendered temporarily unconscious rather than permanently so.[1]
Note that raiding the Grove with Minthara will cause Karlach and Wyll to permanently leave the player's party.
Act Two
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Alive
If not killed by the player, Minthara is next encountered in Moonrise Towers, where she is sentenced to death by Ketheric Thorm for failing to retrieve the Mysterious Artefact. Afterwards, she can be found in the Moonrise Prison. If the player helps her escape, she will visit the player's camp and ask to join their party.
Dead
If the player allows Balthazar to take the Nightsong, he will be tasked with abducting Isobel. Letting her get killed or knocked out will grant the player an audience with Ketheric Thorm who will allow the player to pray at the altar of the Absolute. Doing so will result in the player being imprisoned in a pod in the Mind Flayer Colony where Balthazar will try to recycle the player and their party into zombies. In the fight that ensues the player will find Zombie Dror Ragzlin (unless he survived Act One) and Zombie Minthara (if she died in Act One or if the player didn't rescue her from her prison in Act Two).

Notes
- Minthara is voiced by Emma Gregory.
- If the player is a Lolth-sworn drow you have many unique dialogue options, one of which includes condemning Minthara and attacking her for abandoning Lolth.
Bugs
- Prior to Patch 5, a bug could be exploited to recruit Minthara even when siding with the grove. Minthara had to be knocked out in Act 1, after which she would recover after a Long Rest. Once the player reached Act 2 and acquired polymorph and dominate beast spells, they could return, turn her into a sheep and dominate her. The party then fast-traveled back to Moonrise towers and would smuggle Minthara as a sheep into the throne room, where the judgement would continue as if Minthara lived. After the cutscene she would be transported to the dungeon. The player would have to attack her quickly once imprisoned, (as she would begin to run away otherwise) and then turn invisible and exit combat. Minthara would then be part of the interrogation scene and her recruitment can proceed as normal. This exploit became unnecessary once Patch 5 made her recruitable simply by making her temporarily unconscious in Act 1.[1]
