Groundwork [ ]

Minsc is most memorable for beingness the proud possessor of Boo, a 'Miniature Giant Space Hamster' in his mind.

Minsc and Dynaheir were originally sent to the Sword Coast equally part of his 'dajemma' - a journey of self-discovery, during which he must protect Dynaheir and gain new insights and experiences in distant lands as a sort of 'rite of passage'.

Baldur's Gate & Tales of the Sword Coast [ ]

Recruitment [ ]

Minsc is available to recruit from Chapter Two. He is initially found separated from Dynaheir, waiting only exterior the Garrison within the southern town of Nashkel. Simply agree to help Minsc find his damsel and he will join the player's cause. Alternatively, you can find Dynaheir first in Gnoll Stronghold and so bring her dorsum to Minsc without always talking to him.

Once Dynaheir has been rescued, the two of them are inseparable and require being together in the political party, unless i of them dies or the role player uses trickery to separate them.

Be careful when recruiting him, as Minsc is a bit unstable, and turning downwardly his offer of companionship tin can but as easily lead to a hostile confrontation.

Quests [ ]

  • Rescuing Dynaheir (Don't accept too long for the rescue or you lot can't keep Minsc in group)
  • Edwin and Dynaheir – will turn on Edwin if he endangers Dynaheir.

Relationships [ ]

  • Boo: Since receiving his head injuries, Minsc has relied on Boo for moral support, controlling, and wisdom, believing him to be a special 'miniature giant space' hamster, though others naturally believe Boo to exist a mere normal hamster. Minsc will requite a harsh glare toward anyone who tries to take Boo.
  • Dynaheir: Minsc's 'witch' and loyal companion, whom he will try to discover and likely never function from afterwards. If she is to be slain, Minsc will enter a berserker state out of rage, likely complicating the boxing - even possibly killing other companions.

Gameplay [ ]

Minsc'south main drawback is that he can't use any magical scrolls or wands for he's 1 of the few companions with less than 9 intelligence score, other ii being Yeslick and Wilson. And while a ranger MUST accept the company of a behemothic 'infinite hamster' such as Boo who can do just about EVERYTHING, it does takes up one quick item slots (and 1 lb), which could exist a trouble in original version of the game as time flows while you lot're managing items in inventory screen.

He does take a very high strength stat though, making him an excellent mule at the very least, while also excelling with Two-Handed Swords and Composite Longbows. Minsc'southward racial enemy is Gnoll and he comes with Charm Animal as all rangers, he has a unique Berserk, an culling version of Berserker's rage. Minsc is of course great in the front line, but if you lot apply him equally party leader, note that his depression charisma will pb to higher prices when bargaining with merchants.

It is also his accolade to be the bodyguard of a immature Wychalarn of Rasheman named Dynaheir, and if anyone tries to impairment her he will beat sense into their heads until they reconsider. He is unsure as to why she has led them to the Sword Declension, simply his loyalty is unquestioning. If he serves her well and distinguishes himself in boxing he hopes to be accepted into the water ice dragon berserker gild upon return to their homeland. So far Minsc considers his most notable experience in the world abroad, to be the acquisition of his animal companion 'Boo', a creature that he claims is a miniature giant infinite hamster.

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn & Throne of Bhaal [ ]

In Baldur's Gate 2, Minsc implies that he and Dynaheir had traveled with Gorion's Ward for some time. At some point during this journeying, they were ready upon by the designs of Jon Irenicus, only to be captured, imprisoned, and tortured.

Recruitment [ ]

Minsc is available to recruit from Affiliate one. He seems to have gotten off fairly well relatively, despite his partner Dynaheir supposedly existence killed sometime during the initial confrontation, and finds himself imprisoned - much like Jaheira - within a nearby cage, though it appears to accept no lock. To free him, the histrion must enrage him to the point that he bends the bars of his muzzle, later which he will have notice of the player'south cleverness and will gladly bring together the party.

Minsc will travel to the Copper Coronet in the Slums District if freed from his initial imprisonment, yet afterward removed from the party.

Equally in previous games, Boo is his stalwart companion and is a permanent part of his inventory.

Quests [ ]

  • Release Minsc From His Jail cell
  • The Kidnapping of Boo (requires Unfinished Business concern (Baldur'due south Gate Ii) mod)

Relationships [ ]

  • Edwin: Minsc and Edwin / Edwina are rather hostile to each other as each of them had different plans regarding Dynaheir in the get-go game; Minsc was to protect her, while Edwin was sent to kill her. Ironically, in the second game after Edwin accidentally transforms his gender, Minsc gets confused and thinks that "Edwina" is Edwin's sister.
  • Boo: Boo seems to take on a much more active and vocal role than before, chiming in with various squeaks at opportune times, presumably proving some sort of significant intelligence.
  • Aerie: Under the right atmospheric condition, Minsc will make Aerie his newfound 'witch' to protect in gild to make upward for declining to protect Dynaheir in the by. Like Dynaheir, Minsc volition enter a berserker land if Aerie is slain later on gaining this status.
  • January Jansen: Minsc is rather annoyed past Jan as he tries on several occasions to become a hold of Boo behind Minsc's back.
  • Keldorn: Despite existence complete opposites on the Lawful/Chaotic spectrum, Minsc and Keldorn securely respect each other's grapheme and skills. If both are in the party, the two of them become friends through banter, with unique dialogue one time Minsc goes berserk or if one of them dies.
  • Korgan: Equally with other warriors, Korgan expresses adoration for Minsc'south prowess in boxing, even every bit he mocks him for his values.

Gameplay [ ]

Compared to the first game, Minsc has one more than indicate in dexterity and constitution. His racial enemy has inverse to Vampire and his alignment has as well changed slightly, presumably due to the deaths of close friends, now exhibits a chaotic-skillful alignment - though this is largely inconsequential. Given that his original enemy was Gnolls, by which Dynaheir had been taken captive, information technology would make a certain amount of sense for the backstory to be that her death was at the hands of a vampire (almost certainly Bodhi or i of her brood, considering the role they play in BG2): nevertheless, this is never actualy confirmed.

Minsc is the only companion other than Dorn and Valygar that can utilize Defender of Easthaven, Armor of Faith, and Hardiness - making him an first-class physical harm tank.

Much like the first game, he still tin can't apply any magical items other than weapons and armor without intelligence boost, and Boo once over again is kept in one of his quick-slots. His other abilities remain intact.

He however has his unique berserk ability, dissimilar from the Berserker's and Barbaric'due south rage.

Biography [ ]

" Minsc
When asked about his past, Minsc proclaims that he is a berserker warrior from the nation of Rasheman in the utter due east, though his affinity for animals speaks to his skill as a ranger likewise. He originally came to the Sword Coast on a dejemma, a ritual journeying to manhood, equally the babysitter of a immature Wychalarn of Rasheman Dynaheir. To his shame, Dynaheir is now dead, and he fears that the doors of the honored Water ice Dragon Berserker Guild are forever airtight to him. This personal tragedy has obviously not strengthened Minsc's hold on reality, as evidenced past continued dependence on his creature companion 'Boo', a creature that he claims is a miniature giant space hamster. Such things apparently do exist somewhere in the Realms, but Minsc has surely taken as well many blows to the head.

Boo
Boo is a fuzzy little hamster. While Minsc believes that Boo is a miniature behemothic infinite hamster, you are rather certain that the tiny rodent is only a normal hamster.
