Baldur's Gate 3 Exploit Lets You Have Minthara Companion In Act 1

Summary

Minthara refuses to go back to Act 1 when you finally get her as a companion in Moonrise Towers.
But if you cast Silence on her, she literally can't refuse.
With that, you can drag her kicking - but not screaming, since she's silenced - back to the Emerald Grove and sweep all the Act 1 quests you left hanging.

You don't get Minthara as a companion until Act 2, and you can't bring her back to the start of the game once she's in your party. But this is the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 community, of course they found a way.

Typically, you side with her and the goblins to wipe out the Grove (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:or knock her out), and then rescue her from Moonrise Towers. That means she can only become a party member in Act 2. If you try to go back to Act 1, she'll tell you she has pressing business in the Shadowlands and refuses to follow.

The solution is surprisingly simple. Minthara can't refuse to go with you if she can't talk. All you have to do is cast Silence on her and fast travel back to Act 1. You can then sweep up the Aunty Ethel, Githyanki Creche, and Underdark quests with Minthara by your side. Basically, tell her to shut up.

What Happens If You Bring Minthara To Act 1?

Since you're not supposed to have Minthara in Act 1, it's a little buggy. According to Reddit user Important_End_2494, bringing her back to the beginning of the game forced the Guardian to re-appear and triggered the Lae'zel and Shadowheart fight again.

You also need to regularly re-cast Silence on her or she'll keep refusing to go back to Act 1... even though she's in it. So, while you can bring Minthara back to the start, it's probably not worth the headache. Then again, she's a pretty powerful ally. Maybe just for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Aunty Ethel fight, eh?
