The most famous character of the Baldur’s Gate series has to be Minsc — a possibly insane human Ranger with a miniature giant space hamster named Boo. Minsc and his space hamster called Boo are the final recruitable party members in Baldur’s Gate 3. Minsc can be very easy to miss. If you don’t have Jaheira in your party, another unlockable recruit in Act 2, then recruiting Minsc seems to be impossible. This character is only for heroes… even if the weird voice in your head wants him dead immediately. Don’t listen to the voices and learn to love the Sword Coast’s weirdest crime lord. Here’s how to get Minsc to join your party.

One of the most famous characters in the series, Minsc and his space hamster Boo return as full party members in Baldur’s Gate 3. Minsc is a (maybe insane) Human Ranger that’s incredibly colorful — and if you want to unlock him, you’ll need to reach Act 3 in Baldur’s Gate.
This quest is related to Jaheira’s companion quest. If you’re following her quest steps, you’ll automatically (eventually) encounter Minsc while on her quest ‘Aid the Underduke‘ — she’ll really want you to save him. Unfortunately, your Dream Stranger wants him very dead. Ignore him and we’ll have the addled Minsc back in our party.
Minsc can be encountered as a local problem in the city of Baldur’s Gate late in the story. You can only find him in Act 3 after completing the Shadow-Cursed Land storyline.
Travel to the Guildhall in the Lower City and talk to Nine-Fingers. She’s planning an ambush for the ‘Stone Lord’ and his men. To learn more, talk to Tut Thistlebog a drunk Guild member. He’ll reveal the location of the plot.
Any lightning spell will shock the ground. You can use Water consumables and throw them, or use spells to generate water — or even create a floor of ice, melt the ice, then shock the puddle of water left behind.
There’s an entrance deeper into the lair in the vault. Enter the Abandoned Cistern to encounter Minsc one more time. Defeat them and you’ll be given a choice to kill or spare them. If you have Jaheira in your party, she will strongly object to killing him. The Dream Visitor will suggest that you
