Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Recruit Minthara | Secret Party Member

Minthara is an optional (and evil) party member in Baldur’s Gate 3. She’s a deadly Paladin that wields two blades at once and serves the Cult of the Absolute.

It takes some time for them to join you, but you’ll block yourself off from their quests if you don’t follow the right path in Act 1. This is how to charm Minthara and get the evil Drow to stick with your party as a fully playable character — and a romance option.

You can either lie your way into the camp using Wisdom or Charisma, or you can take control of their minds with your Mind Flayer powers. Mind Flayer powers can only be used once per Long Rest, so be prepared before approaching the Goblin Camp. The Goblin Camp is west of the Emerald Grove, past the Blighting Village.
