Minthara is a mean Paladin. Depending on your decisions, she can be a tough boss, too.
If, for whatever reason, you want to put an end to her, there are many different ways to make it happen.
In this guide, we are going to go over the different scenarios and let you know exactly how to kill Minthara in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Kill Minthara in a Big Battle
First, you must see Minthara planning her attack on the grove. If you’ve already seen Ragzlin, assuming Ragzlin didn’t you, he’ll direct you to Minthara and ask you to join her in the hunt.
When you start talking to Minthara, she’ll be suspicious at first. However, once you mention you know the druid’s exact location, she’ll be forced to trust you.
Follow her directions until you reach the gate guarded by the tieflings. Inside, talk to Zevlor and alert them about the goblin’s invasion.
He’ll tell you to set up and take all the explosive barrels you can find, evenly placing them outside the gate.
After sounding the warhorn, you can choose to betray either Minthara or Zevlor, depending on which side you want to progress in the story.
If you refuse to open the gate, this will trigger a fight with Minthara and the goblins.
Use “Drop Item” instead of throwing it to ensure the barrel explodes. The ideal way to place the barrels is by making sure they are within the blast radius of one another.
That way, they will all explode at once and will take out all the goblins. The explosion will probably take a good chunk of the ogre’s HP, too.
The biggest challenge is killing the spiders who will jump up. Pay attention to the goblin sappers and try to kill them when they are near other enemies so they will explode.
Remember to save before starting the fight because the turn order is random.
If the enemies start moving first, they will go immediately to the gate and leave you no room to blow them up together unless you have more than 5 explosive barrels.
They will also try to bring down the gate along with the ogre, so they should not be a problem at the start.
After using all your explosive barrels, keep attacking from above. That way, they’ll have a hard time hitting you.
As long as the spiders are taken care of, there’s no way for them to reach you without getting hit several times.
If you’re in trouble and the sappers are near the gate, use your Void Bulbs or Caustic Bulbs found in the ship.
You can take items from other characters that rolled a low initiative and use them with characters who will act first.
Once you finish the fight this way, all the goblins in the goblin camp, including Ragzlin, will be aggressive toward you and attack you on sight.
Kill Minthara in the Goblin Camp
This method is more straightforward than the previous one. Without interacting with Minthara, stab her in the back and start the fight.
Ragzlin and his crew will also be aggressive. However, you can still sneak your character to favorable spots after entering the gate.
This will give you fewer experience points, but you can still kill the goblins outside the room and grind out more experience points.
If you choose to show Minthara the grove’s location before talking to Zevlor, you’ll find her walking back to the goblin camp’s entrance, and her whole crew will stop at the door.
After killing Minthara, everyone will already be alerted, and you’ll fight more goblins when you move out of the location.

You can place explosive barrels here and choose to kill her here as well.
This will end up being the same as killing her near the command table, where the whole goblin camp will be aggressive toward you and start a fight.
The Best Location to Fight Mithara
I would suggest doing the first method and going for the big war at the gate. It is much easier to defeat Mithara with the help of exploding barrels.
Besides, you will have a ton of experience points just by exploding these hordes of goblins.
This will also prompt Halsin, the druid healer, to show up in the camp, although he will also show up with the other method much sooner.
