Sometime after Sarevok's defeat, the group parted ways for a while until they once again joined up alongside their friends: Gorion's Ward, Imoen, Jaheira and Khalid. At some point in their travels they were captured in a forest by Shadow Thieves and imprisoned in a dungeon beneath the city of Athkatla in Amn. Minsc, Jaheira and Imoen survived, but Dynaheir and Khalid were killed. Their captor was Jon Irenicus - an elven wizard who wanted to steal the Bhaalspawn essence for himself. Minsc eventually helped Gorion's Ward to defeat him. | Sometime after Sarevok's defeat, the group parted ways for a while until they once again joined up alongside their friends: Gorion's Ward, Imoen, Jaheira and Khalid.

[[File:Awaken, my Minsc3.webm|gif|thumb|right|class=notpageimage|Awaken, my Minsc]]At some point in their travels Minsc and Boo were ambushed by an unknown individual, petrified, and left in the middle of marketplace in the [[Upper City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]]. For a long time Baldurians believed it was a statue, commissioned by a merchant to commemorate the city's renowned heroes. It became a popular landmark under the title "Beloved Ranger". | [[File:Awaken, my Minsc3.webm|gif|thumb|right|class=notpageimage|Awaken, my Minsc]]At some point in their travels, Minsc and Boo were ambushed by an unknown individual, petrified, and left in the middle of marketplace in the [[Upper City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]].

80 years later a wild mage Delina tried to defend herself against a gargoyle and accidentally struck the statue with a {{Pass|Wild Magic|wild magic surge}}. The surge dispelled the petrification and Minsc and Boo returned to life, unaware of the passing of time. They joined forces and travelled together for a time. | 80 years later, a wild mage Delina tried to defend herself against a gargoyle and accidentally struck the statue with a {{Pass|Wild Magic|wild magic surge}}.

Approximately 10 years later Minsc reunited with Jaheira. Together they worked to uncover the mysterious [[Cult of the Absolute]] and were the first to reveal information about this threat. Unfortunately, Minsc's impulsive eagerness to fight resulted in his capture by the cultists and Jaheira, realising they were severely unprepared and unarmed against this cult, decided to leave him in order to share news about this growing threat. | Approximately 10 years later, Minsc reunited with Jaheira.

Captured by the cult, Minsc was infected with a [[Tadpole]] and brainwashed into following a {{CharLink|Doppelganger}} imitating {{CharLink|Jaheira}}. Under the tadpole's influence, he became a feared murderer under the moniker "Stone Lord". Minsc was also separated from Boo as the tadpole suppressed his memory of the hamster. Their latest crime is robbing the [[Counting House]]. | Captured by the cult, Minsc was infected with a [[Tadpole]] and brainwashed into following a {{CharLink|Doppelganger}} imitating {{CharLink|Jaheira}}.
