Who do you think the funniest companion in Baldur’s Gate 3 is? Most of us would probably say Astarion, with his sassy attitude and snarky one-liners. Gale’s goofy gags might also appeal to some, along with Lae’zel’s always-angry approach. However, it seems those who’ve played through the game a few times think it’s the evil Drow.
I wouldn’t blame you for not knowing much about Minthara. After all, she’s only available if you decide to burn the Emerald Grove or go through some very specific steps. But, if you do get her, she not only ups the evil quotient of your party, but delivers some of the best sarcastic humour in the game.
Minty Really Cracks Me Up
Minthara is usually seen as a companion who would approve of all your evil acts, but she’s so much more than that. The’s a nuanced character, with a great sense of humour that’s unfortunately hidden behind a very specific path. In a recent Reddit post, Shinmai1337 showcased her comic timing.
If you feed the Mindflayer in the Rivington windmill, you’ll come across him again in the Lower City, where it has killed a family. “What a darling child we have raised. We helped it to live, and it helped itself to this family’s brains,” chimes in Minthara. She may not know how to read the room, but even Ketheric Thorm would get a laugh out of that.
We’re Getting Valentine’s Day Themed Baldur’s Gate Merch, As Long As You’re Not A Fan Of Wyll Or Lae’zel
Hasbro has partnered with Youtooz for Valentine’s Day, but only four romanceable companions are getting merch.
Players in the comments were quick to point out that Minty is actually pretty hilarious. Her comic timing and dry delivery could make the party snigger even in the face of brutal murder. “The funniest person I know,” said one of the comments, while another said “Minthara really needs to consider doing stand-up.”
It’s really unfortunate that a lot of players miss out on Minthara because it isn’t easy to recruit her. She’s easily one of the best written companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, especially if you’re on an evil Durge playthrough. At least now you have an excuse to replay the game… again.
