The Goblin Camp's True Soul Trio | Baldur's Gate 3 [Part 13]

[@umno7745]

Watching Mapo's wheels turn while looting Minthy was the highlight of my day. We all had the same reaction the first time 😅

[@mclouj]

Rip poor mummy Minthara, one of my favourite companions. Oh well, she's better for a durge playthrough anyways.

[@imgettingtoooldforthis]

Kinda broke my heart when he didn’t use non lethal

[@Wotansfogal]

Just finished a drow 'evil' playthrough with Minthara as my companion and we now rule everything. Modded her to give her an old patch hairstyle though

[@TheAxel65]

In my second playthrough I went full 3D-chess-mode to tackle the Minthara challenge 😅

[@vidar5762]

5 honor playthroughs and I haven't ever manager to get her. Arrows don't knock out, flame weapons kill. Just bad dice rolls, oh well. Next time

[@Wotansfogal]

Minthara: "If you had killed me when we first met, I would have been just one more casualty of your crusade against the Absolute… and nobody would remember me.” I cry

[@channelsoup]

Great episode! Don’t stress about Minthara. I’d confidently say that about 95% of people killed her in their first playthrough as well.

[@Blackavelli202]

52:18 You didn't mess anything up during the dialogue with Priestess Gut. When your Tav was presented with the option to escape, Priestess Gut had already left the cell. If you had come in before that, she would have been in the cell during that part of the dialogue.

[@OhThatRobin]

1:34:06 I love how the Narrator is like a really good DM being clear about the choices you have before you and where they might lead you. Of course a human DM could hear an out of left field choice the player comes up with, but for a computer game this is really awesome design. Man what an awesome game!

[@dsilvermane0]

Don't stress about Minthara - not something you'd do on a blind first run. That would have been some crazy luck.

[@Enjutsu]

still dont know how recruit her without killing grove ))

[@MultiDakl]

Minthara Spoiler warning do not read ahead if you don’t want any Minthara spoilers.. You can knock her out and she will show up again in act 2 where you can recruit her, without having to attack the grove.

[@daddybendover69]

I know of like one dude who did it on a first run but I honestly kind of think he might've seen something in the comments about it but didn't mention it.

[@UrbanVarsek]

@@Enjutsu You need to turn on non-lethal damage and knock her out with melee attack (latter is important, ranged attack or magic will kill her even with non-lethal toggled on). Then she will be alive in act 2 (won't disclose location for spoiler reasons but if you've played the game before you can imagine where it is). You can then save her there and she joins you.

[@SapphireAngelBunny]

I had the benefit of knowing ahead of playing but my character saw her as a threat to nature and innocent people, so Minthara wouldnt have lived anyway in that playthrough xD.

[@proteuswest1084]

I like how principled you are in your decision making here. Even when the game gives you a legitimate opportunity to change your choices, you stuck to your guns. Also, hearing that a Dark Urge playthrough will be coming from you eventually means I need to do one now.

[@Safiyahalishah]

Watching his playthrough has inspired me to do my first Dark Urge run as well! I'm basically Wyll on steroids. I crave the blood of evil and stop at nothing, kill first speak with dead later - lawfully overcompensating for the fact that I really just crave blood...

[@JShepLord]

Bro, Liam screaming while you spun him around in the Examine window fucking killed me. 🤣 I was dying over here!

[@Averssem]

I never noticed that Volo said "can't wait to pick your brain" there. That bit of foreshadowing completely escaped me. Whoever wrote that is genious!

[@yeahr1ghty]

Larian was pretty consistent with clever little foreshadowing like that. There also a lot of implied stuff that flies over most people's heads. I have some quibbles with how tedious some of your companions exposition can be, but this game is unbelievably well written from top to bottom.

[@rooski1191]

Minthara is by far, hands down, the most interesting character in the entire game.

durge for me made the game like many times more interesting

Knocking Minthara out then rescuing her later so she can join the group and her subsequent arc is great, i do it every time as she is an awesome companion.

[@nickrubin7312]

I'm sure comment section will be normal about it lmao. All I'm going to say, that without meta-information, outside of obvious origin characters who you can clearly see as options to play during character creation, you're not supposed to know who are your potential allies/companions/camp followers could be, because it would certainly affect your roleplaying choices that are presented to you by DM. In this case, you freed Sazza, she told Minthara about the grove, so the raid was inevitable, and you made your RP choice accordingly. Also, they should probably remove that camp supplies, alchemy and clothing, but I know why they don't - to fill you with doubt about potential and choices that you make, but also curiosity about what might happen if you make a different choice

[@unfreespirit]

I even think the game should warn you about potential spoilers before you look at the origin characters during your first character creation. Figuring out the motivations of your companions in conversations adds to the story. Obviously you can't blame people for looking at it since it's right there in character creation.

[@HankookTires-fe1xk]

Definitely agree. The vampire thing, shadowhearts memory loss, these are all pretty big spoilers.​@@unfreespirit

[@nickrubin7312]

@@unfreespirit agree, should warn, 100%, I think they are mild to overall story, but still spoilers however, shouldn't limit the access, intro should still be available, it is 1 to 1 DOS2 system to be honest, like nothing new at all (and there wasn't any spoilers warning either) intro are pre-made character backstory for people who want to play as them (in DOS2 it was even better to play as any origin character, and there are sooo many similarities between some origin character in DOS2 and BG3 it is actually insane, similar writers I guess) still, completely agree, there should be a warning

[@anywhere_but_here]

i mean, the way i took it is just Larian rewarding different playstyles/choices. If everyone can just get every companion thats lame imo. Too many games just reward the cliche "good guy" character and leave no rewards for other choices.

Thank you so much for this wonderful playthrough! I love how you talk through your thought process and take it slow and learn and all. It's so rare that people take their time and care for all the details and even side characters, but this game is so rich and worth of it! So again: Thank you. :)

[@EldenRingPlayer-q7c]

Maglubiyet has some really interesting lore in real D&D. Essentially, goblins and hobgoblins aren’t the same kind of things, and the hobgoblins actually conquered the goblins in the distant past, and the hobgoblin gods killed all of the goblin pantheon save for Maglubiyet, the chief among them.

I am so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago through your Inquisition playthroughs! I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching someone play the games I love this much. You are so thoughtful and thorough that I rarely have to supress the dark urge of backseat gaming. With DAI I loved seeing how emotionally invested you got in the story and the characters and now with BG3 it's just so much fun watching you take approaches to some things that I would have never even thought of. These videos have become by favourite meal accompaniment. Thanks for that! (I'm also really looking forward to playing Veilguard and then closing the game to have dinner and watch you play it)

[@liamcarey8726]

Yeah I’ve come from the Dragon Age playthroughs as well. I think Mapo has probably the best playthroughs on the app for games like this, he wants to DO and READ everything

[@themediater]

I think you threaded the needle with the "sticking to your choices" thing about as well as you can/could. As you say, there's going to be content missed no matter what because every choice you make, there's an unmade choice on the other side, you can only have 3 companions with you at a time and even if you try and swap, there's just no way for everyone to be present for every meaningful/cool moment, some of which is just a cool joke or lil comment and some of it is pretty in depth but there's no way of knowing etc. It's a really long game as well of course, I'd say you're still scratching the surface of the iceberg.

[@19wolfgang25]

[@mithikz7608]

The "minthara decision and potential route split" really sets this game apart for me, in just how playthroughs can vary. Two players can play the game, and have even different companions

[@19wolfgang25]

And if you play as a Drow, the interaction will also be different. The game seems to have an infinite amount of replayability, from your character, to your party, and your decisions. And now, we have mods about to give us more options on how to play the game. Sheeesh

[@MasterSorez]

It reminds me a lot of how the Witcher 2 can split in a similar manner depending on a single choice

[@kemmons18]

When you didn’t make a save before starting the fight I knew exactly what was coming.

[@petrirantavalli859]

My first caharacter was a drow and I had all sorts of options with her and none of them lead to anywhere so I just killed her, did occur to me that I could had used non lethal but I assumed that the game wouldn't allow me to not kill her regardless to complite the quest like with so many other rpg-games where you have to murder target anyway for the quest.

[@rrahl]

I love how you play through - and I doubt anyone will be upset by your choice to play a "not reloading my decisions" style as it is the best story track for a run.

[@Grandy_UiD]

Originally you couldn't recruit Minthara without losing (I believe) Wyll and Karlach as companions, so killing her off is arguably the normal thing to do anyway.

[@elliemj21]

Every time I see you’ve uploaded a new bg3 video I get this sudden burst of joy, absolutely loving this playthrough!

[@Blueschist13]

Picked him up like a pet is such an accurate description of Volo.

[@WineAndGames]

"We may be in a spot of trouble" oh my god lol. So perfect. I don't think it's disingenuous to learn from mistakes/getting more info and choosing differently the next go 'round imho. But I will say with Minthara that getting her in a "good" playthrough doesn't really make much sense so... already looking forward to that Durge run! ;)

[@johnnydaff]

Your theory on evil or good companions is spot on, my friend. Just enjoy the crazy BG3 adventure!

[@kikijay3992]

Minthara is for evil playthrougs so its just normal to kill her. If not the internet i would have not even know that she is a companion lol

[@DavisonIncorp]

Man i'm loving this playthrough

[@ShmuPixel]

I'm still amazed at the amount of outcomes possible in this game... Let's just say my exploration of the camp turned into a bloodbath fairly quickly, despite trying my best at convincing the goblins I was on their side (but not really). Just because my dice rolls were not great I had to resort to tricks and eventually ran out of luck. Because I didn't tie up loose ends either before rampaging through the whole camp, it made a significant difference to what you've seen in your playthrough. And yet, the story seems to progress flawlessly for us both. It must have been a nightmare to design such a game, making sure any outcome basically leaves the opportunity to progress one way or another. And it makes you want to replay it all!

[@jarodrawski8813]

Good on you for staying true to your character! I think it’s a really respectable but hard choice to go against curiosity for the sake of a genuine play through. 2:09:14

And lvl5 lets go! Huge power spike, some absolute banger spells for casters, extra attacks for melee.... 2:48:22 Lookout Grush just couldn't take it anymore, seeing all his friends dying left and right

[@CraigNull]

A possible bit of foreshadowing just stuck out at me. Mapo is probably well ahead enough to be at least aware of a possible future interaction with Volo. But just in case, potential minor spoiler by way of highlighting a certain line of dialogue... Volo's parting line, "I simply can't wait to pick your brain!" (5:48) is a curious turn of phrase for those who've seen or been offered Volo's attempt at a tadpole cure

[@stephanied1024]

Ngl, I murdered basically everyone but the spiders in the goblin camp with no hesitation and didn't even realize Minthara could be a companion until after so I missed SO much dialog in this area, lol. Oh well. I'll recruit her next time/talk to the others before I potentially murder them. This game is so massive that you're right, it's absolutely easy to miss things and completely unavoidable. I'm still in act 3 and started my playthrough roughly 3 months ago... It's insane how much stuff there is to do.

The Minthara situation is exactly why you do more than 1 playthrough on bg3, playing a different class, race, and knowing certain things, about the game and youll still most likely find new things

[@SirKlauth]

I find it very commendable that you wish to commit to your choices during this playthrough, especially with tougher situations like what just happened with Minthara where you could've rewritten this choice.

[@zach.hanford]

Respect for the Minthara choice. She's definitely one of my favorite characters(and I can't wait til you do have her on your side) but I really respect sticking with your choices. Got a bit behind on this playthrough because I got super sucked into playing Cyberpunk(and then watching your Cyberpunk playthrough).

[@MaaxMarc]

Why is she your favorite exactly?

[@zach.hanford]

@MaaxMarc I haven't found many characters in games that are true pragmatists, who have a "morals aside, this is the most effective course of action" mindset. I think Minthara is great at that. When she offers advice, it generally is the most effective solution to a problem and it's up to you as a player to weigh that against your own morals. Plus, Emma Gregory did an absolutely amazing job with her voice.

[@MaaxMarc]

[@Blueschist13]

Depends how dark the urge is

[@aqualitymeme9476]

To clarify how the surprise mechanics work so you can use the Assassin subclass at it’s peak, you surprise enemies if you hit them while undetected *inside their detection radius,* which means your character either has to pass a stealth check to hide and walk into their view to attack or attack from invisibility. Doing this correctly though, especially in unavoidable fights that can be detected with scouting and not moving ahead too fast, will allow your assassin to decimate the biggest threat in combat before anyone has had a turn and easily stealth kill isolated enemies to dwindle entire camps one by one. The stealth mechanics in Baldur’s Gate are unrivaled.

[@KGhaleon]

I didn't even know Minthara was a companion in my first run so I killed her and stole her gear. I did try to revive her later, but that didn't work.

[@NovelistAnne]

I never realized Minthara was a companion during my first playthrough. I killed her without much thought without even talking to her and forgot about her name and existence pretty soon after. I was confused for the longest time about minthara comments until I decided to look it up and realized who she was exactly lol. I missed soooo much in my first playthrough but it made my 2nd one all the better.

[@AgonizingDemise]

Don't worry too much about losing a companion. In my first playthrough my only companions were Astarion and Shadowheart. Everyone else either died, turned on me or didn't want to join me in the first place. Still had an absolute blast playing though. I might even like it better than having all companions because it felt much more intimate than later playthroughs where I had more of a 'gotta catch em all' kind of attitude. I never bonded with the others like I did with them in that first playthrough.

[@nickrubin7312]

>n my first playthrough my only companions were Astarion and Shadowheart. Everyone else either died, turned on me or didn't want to join me in the first place. wow, that is hell of 1st playthrough to have, especially with these two, kind of one of the most interesting premises of playthrough I've read in probably at least half-year (still not beating some people unintentionally finishing the game without any companions on their 1st playthrough for various reasons and then going to r/BaldursGate3 and saying "wtf what the actual f, how did it happen to me" lol)

[@AgonizingDemise]

@@nickrubin7312 No companions is very impressive XD. I think you have to actively dodge Shadowheart at least 5 times to not have her join you. For me I was just playing evil Durge (and giving in to the urge on most occasions) while sticking with my choices. It's real easy to lose companions that way. I did feel real bad making both Astarion and Shadowheart suffer in their storylines but my Durge did not accept any weakness.

1:53:10 this game is amazing in the way it makes you think about literally every choice you make ^^

[@gaymerknight3726]

2:08:50 My ruling is, Game Overs are not against the honor choice rules, because they are not voluntary. Going back after Game Over, is essentially a parallel reality. So things are allowed to happen differently. Because if you were forced to repeat your actions from the previous save for “honor” reasons, then you’d be in an infinite loop of failure. Change has to occur either way, may as well run with the option of it. Edit: Also, it’s your game. You have to do what’s fun for you. If You want to try for Minthara, that’s your option. Maybe, in this parallel reality after Game Over, your character has some insight about her he didn’t have in a reality where he failed.

[@karolswieboda1781]

Minthara is for evil gnomes anyway, ones who might wanna slaughter druids.

[@ragenaros4475]

F Minthara 😢 my favorite character, you could knock her out for possible future companion but its blind playthrough, you could not know, unlucky, next playthrough if u play Evil Route would be more fitting anyways.

[@timnewman7591]

I assume you forgot that you had a horn to summon ogres. Well, they thank you for your money and are probably not entirely displeased that they didn't have to do anything in exchange for it. S[oplers about Minthara below this: Yes. Minthara can be a companion. In fact if you help her attack the druid grove she automatically becomes one. It's also possible to recruit her even if you side against her although it's a little more complex. She's also romanceable. Some are useful like the trader you can get in your camp. There are more companions - not just people who'll join your camp but ones who will adventure with you. Some are very hard to spot. Basically you need to start the fight with Minthara without making her permanently hostile - most easily by attacking one of her goblins. Then you beat her down using non-lethal damage to knock her out rather than kill her. Do that and leave, and somewhat later you can find her being punished for her failure at the Goblin Camp. Rescue her and she'll jjoin your party. And incidentally if you looted her, she's naked.

[@BlueWizi]

I don’t know why, but I love that one goblin that stays loyal to Maglubiyet.

[@meganc60]

It’s hilarious that you’re so dedicated to being consistent with your choices that when Sazza died the second time to your own friendly fire, you made sure to throw her body to the spiders so her fate ended up the same 😂

[@Katt3330]

If you had examined Minthara before killing her, in the Notable Features section the game tells you to use non-lethal attacks on her. She's not the only character like that so in the future just keep an eye open 💜 Leaving her unconscious would have been perfect. You already won the battle, there was no need to kill her.

[@eliskavaskova3692]

I have never seen Astarion miss so much, he barely misses in my playthroughs, dang, talk about luck

[@LLlap]

On my first playthrough I had like 4 companions. Turns out there are a lot more. Some of them you might kill during your playthrough and since this is not a stupid Bethesda game they are not unkillable you will not even know. When I killed Minthara I lured her unto the bridge and then collapsed it so I never had a chance to see her inventory. Oh, and companions can straight up leave you if they are disappointed in you. Happens A LOT if you roleplay =)

[@luminemo]

There's really no reason to use non-lethal damage in the Goblin camp unless you know about sparing Minthara, especially it being important that you defeat the three leaders. Because I know about it I kind of headcanon that my party didn't notice that she wasn't dead and so they just left her (even after looting her lol). Your party is still lower level so they don't have all the fancy abilities but some concentration spells especially can be good at giving you advantage over enemies and thus your chance to hit is better. But even then your party will just have bad rolls 🥲

[@j-plarouche9959]

At the beginning of game Minthara was only available as evil play through whoever they made it possible(with a patch) just to knock her out and she is a possible available companion later.

[@Sleawzor]

I also killed Minthara in my playthrough, except I didn't even connect the dots to realize she might be a potential companion. I was just confused as to why she had unique clothes on her... I am not smart.

[@Vince3-fi9bd]

I don't play this game, so I was just watching your gameplay as fresh as you do and I'm only here following your playthrough, so here's my thought about Minthara or all your companions in general: well, so far most of them really have some specific problem or agenda of their own, so I don't think it's that good to cast judgment on someone just because they are doing something wrong. Because imagine that on Karlach, at first we don't know that he is being forced to fight for a devil, so if you look at her without learning her story, you might also think he is just bad and needs to be dealt with, but no, we learn her story and so on. I think the way here is to give others a second chance, especially unique or boss characters; they just might be being forced to do bad things like karlach or astarion. I also think it's pretty common in DnD. And remember how you persuade Kagha to be good?. Lastly, I remember your words from Wyll and Karlach about being enemies to lovers, kind of think, so after realizing that Minthara is a possible companion, I felt really bad since you might be that "enemies to lovers" or "enemies to friends," no? PS: I knew I'm super late in this playthrough but I just can't to not comment on it lol

Don't feel bad about missing content and killing a potential companion, it's impossible to do all content in a single run because there's a lot of content locked between mutually exclusive choices. Missed content will be something for future runs

I also killed Minthara in my playthrough, but at release there was only one way to keep her alive without attacking the grove. And that way was also very non-intuitive.

Don't worry mapo, I didn't realize minty was a companion until much later myself, but I'm looking forward to including her in my party later!

Obvious hint…the cult and the parasite effect the mind.

The minthara thing is fine - u can have her but its tricky to keep everyone happy. Minthara is a companion but shes evil asf
