This page focuses on [[Minthara|Minthara's]] behavior during turn-based combat gameplay.
Accompanied by [[Rozzak]] and [[Skrut]], Minthara will be found at the war table at the north-eastern corner of the [[Shattered Sanctum]] {{Coords|333|42}}, planning her attack on the [[Emerald Grove]]. [[Sazza]] may join her at the table, if alive and freed beforehand. A [[Scrying Eye]] will patrol the area between the library and the war table, and any hostile action will alert the eye which in turn could alert nearby enemies. Disabling the eye, such as pushing it into the nearby chasm, will be the most reliable solution. Near the war table, overlooking the north-most chasm, is a [[Goblin Camp#War Drum:|war drum]]. Hostile goblins will attempt to use it to alert allies in a big radius, including the entire [[Dror Ragzlin]] throne room. [[Zurga]] may also join if she was patrolling nearby when the combat started. It might be best to stealthily destroy the drum before the fight begins.

Minthara can cast an array of [[Paladin]] and general spells: her signature [[Soul Branding]] to buff herself or an ally, as well as [[Misty Step]] to teleport, [[Hold Person]] to incapacitate enemies, [[Bless]] on her allies, [[Vow of Enmity]] on an enemy, and [[Lay on Hands: Greater Healing]] to restore a large portion of health to her or to an ally.

Tactics[edit | edit source]

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.
