What do you do if you loose Minsc ?

Elif Godson · 10-23-2001, 05:12 PM

Hey,
I lost Minsc cause I took to long in finding his lady friend.
He tried to fight me and instead of killing him I just ran away
hoping I would get him back when I got Dyn.
No such luck, any ideas ?

Nope, I'm afraid he's lost forever now.

Or someone knows a trick to reset the variables..?

Go back to your oldest save and haul ass to the Gnoll Stronghold......or try to find some other warrior-type who's a good front-line man (although without the nifty rodent companion).

Or cheat and see if you can create another Minsc into the game with the CLUA Console.

There's no way to get him back, you have to reload your game.

I lost Minsc the same way. I tried like crazy to get to the knoll stonghold when he started to threaten. Nothing worked.

I got Kiven the Ranger instead and wound up enjoying his company a lot more.

Minsc is just a little to unstable for me.

You've lost Minsc? Try throwing a party. That guy couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. IMHO.

Minsc is the definative tank amongst the NPCs. He's tremendous. He's at his best with a two handed sword. His berserking special ability is basically useless however. He goes off on his own comrades half the time. Who needs that? You can charm him back with Algy's cloak, but still, all in all his berserking mode is a pain. (I suppose if you have him heavily buffed up with potions protective spells you could send him into some situations as a berserking one-man army. But I prefer the coordinated attacks.)

SixOfSpades · 10-27-2001, 04:26 AM

I never really used Minsc as my primary Tank myself, as I've always filled that role with my main character. Really, the only things wrong with Minsc as a Tank are his less-than-18 DEX and less-than-18 CON. So he can never reach an AC of -11, so what? I never went Berserk with him either, but it stands to reason that if you've got 5 guys firing range attacks and a stoned, trippin-out Minsc going toe-to-toe, Minsc will simply attack whatever is closest--meaning the bad guys, and not your own party.

P.S. I read somewhere that "If you have Minsc in your party for the final battle, Boo helps out." Ummm.....really? I never saw/heard anything from Boo. Does Minsc have to be close enough to melee?
