Overview Approval Disapproval Banter Romance Combat

Minthara approves cruel attitude towards other beings and any choices aimed towards gaining more power.

Being a drow, Minthara has a highly hostile demeanor, considering pretty much everyone as inferior. As a scion of a noble House, she holds other drow characters in high regard, not hesitating to show all others their proper place. Also, Minthara prefers straight and harsh decisions to any subterfuge, and approves exerting revenge on everyone who wronged her. Finally, she appreciates any actions that might help her regain due respect and position within power structure of her homeland, Menzoberranzan.

As Minthara can only be recruited after being used and then sentenced to death by the Chosen of the Absolute, she considers the latters as her implacable foes. Hence, she approves any player's choices directed to defeating current leadership of the cult.

The story and dialogue choices listed on this page raise Minthara Minthara's approval.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. ↑ With approval dialogue, Minthara is a special case, as she was likely intended to be a companion earlier than she ended up being for release. As a result, many of the approval triggers listed here - particularly those listed in Act One - may not occur. In addition, players have noted instances in her approval discussion page that several triggers in Act Two also fail to occur, despite a help desk ticket being sent reporting these apparent omissions.
  2. ↑ Minthara uses specific expressions in drow language quite often, though she usually translates them for the player character. However, you can also refer to Drow dictionary on the Forgotten Realms Wiki to know more
  3. ↑ A fictional detective who appeared in a series of books and short stories written by a Cormyrian scribe Lodevin Parkar. More about him can be found at Camber Fosrick on the Forgotten Realms Wiki
