Hello, gamers!
Ever since its release, Baldur’s Gate 3 players have growninterestingattachments to evil characters throughout the narrative. Minthara is one such character, attracting the attention of many as the only ‘evil’ Drow characters you may play in the game (if you aren’t a Drow yourself, of course).
Are you intrigued by the enigmatic drow Minthara in Baldur’s Gate III? This guide will walk you through the steps to pursue a romantic relationship with her, along with important considerations and alternative methods of recruitment.
Understanding Minthara’s Character and Approval
Minthara is devoted to the Absolute and expects unwavering loyalty from her companions. To gain her approval, prioritize her objectives, exhibit decisiveness in conflicts, and align with the interests of the goblins.
Avoid actions that contradict the teachings of the Absolute, attempt to dominate her autonomy, align with the interests of tieflings, or display cowardice or indecisiveness.
Initiating Romance with Minthara (the Evil Way)
Romancing Minthara is straightforward but requires specific actions:
Side with the goblins and assist Minthara in raiding the druid grove during the quest “Rescuing the druid Halsin.”

Once you get back to camp for the celebration, you will then initiate a conversation with Minthara after the celebration following the victory at the grove. Express your readiness to spend the night with her. You will pick these options:
This method forces you to engage in persuasion checks during the conversation to secure the opportunity to spend the night with Minthara.
If you are playing a Dark Urge, keep in mind that you can kill Minthara following this romance scene. If you opt to do this, the Dark Urge will snak her neck, and obviously eliminate any further interactions with her.
Confrontations and Consequences
Be prepared for Minthara to confront you about the absence of the voice of the Absolute. Handle the situation carefully to avoid hostility or suspicion.
Depending on your choices, Minthara may attempt to kill you while you sleep or betray you later in the game. Navigate these encounters wisely to survive and maintain the relationship.
Recruitment Method on a Good Playthrough
Originally, recruiting Minthara required aligning with the goblins and participating in the assault on the tiefling camp. However, a patch introduced an alternative method:
Additional Considerations
Romancing Minthara offers a unique narrative experience for players aligned with the Absolute or exploring the darker aspects of the game. Approach her storyline with caution and consideration for the consequences of your actions.
