Baldur’s Gate 3: Transforming Minthara into a Sheep – A Surprising Loophole for Recruiting the Drow Paladin

Unconventional Tactics for Adding Minthara to Your Party

1. Act One:

  • During the “Kill the Goblin Leaders” quest, non-lethally knock out Minthara by attacking her.
  • Proceed to eliminate the other two Goblin Leaders.
  • Take a long rest, causing Minthara to respawn.

2. Act Two:

  • Reach level seven and acquire the Polymorph and Dominate Beast spells.
  • Return to Minthara in the Goblin Camp and transform her into a sheep using Polymorph.
  • Use Dominate Beast to make her a temporary companion.

3. Continue the Quest:

  • Teleport to Moonrise Towers with Minthara, keeping her in sheep form.
  • Carry her across the bridge into Ketheric Thorm’s throne room, reapplying the spells if necessary.
  • Gently place her in the room.

At this point, Minthara will go through her judgment process as she normally does in an “evil” playthrough. Interestingly, she remains a sheep throughout this phase. Only after she’s sentenced to death, and you work to save her by getting her into the jail room and triggering a story scene, can you recruit her in her non-sheep form.
