It is best to prioritise or incapacitate her quickly. Her nearby goblin allies will quickly swarm the party, which might call for use of crowd control spells to manage the dangers. The room has a big chasm drop in the middle, which can be utilised to shove enemies into it for an easy kill, albeit losing all their loot. The bridge over the chasm that connects the library and the war table areas can also be collapsed by attacking its wooden supports, preventing reinforcements from arriving as easily, or preventing Minthara from closing the distance if engaged at range.

It is best to prioritize or incapacitate her quickly. Her nearby goblin allies quickly swarm the party, which might call for use of crowd control spells to manage the dangers. The room has a big chasm drop in the middle, which can be utilised to shove enemies into for an easy kill, albeit losing all their loot. The bridge over the chasm that connects the library and the war table areas can be collapsed by attacking its wooden supports, preventing reinforcements from arriving as easily, or preventing Minthara from closing the distance if engaged at range.

Finally, Minthara can be killed effortlessly by agreeing to raid the grove during dialogue. Once the deal is struck, she marshals the goblins, eventually crossing the wooden bridge above the chasm. This gives the party an opportunity to collapse the bridge under her, killing her instantly, but her loot is lost as a result. (Except the Spider's Lyre, which respawns on the nearby ledge after a long rest.)

Loot[edit | edit source]

Minthara can be killed and looted. She has the same items as her starting equipment, except for her underwear. If knocked unconscious, she drops the underwear, but does not drop a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen or supply pack.

If all equipment and clothing are looted from her and she is left unconscious, she reappears in Act Two at Moonrise Towers in a new set of camp clothes including camp shoes and underwear.
