Baldur’s Gate 3’s Minthara Has A Secret Admirer, But The Feeling Is Not Mutual
Klagga’s Hopeless Love
Enter Klagga, the poetry-loving goblin tracker. His heart races whenever Minthara is near, and he dreams of capturing her attention. Klagga’s infatuation is evident in the intimate love notes he pens behind the Goblin Camp’s waterfall. These heartfelt messages reveal a side of Klagga that transcends his goblin nature.
1. “Parchment”
In one note titled “Parchment,” Klagga recounts a moment when Minthara observed him chasing chickens. Her comment to his boss Ragzlin—that she hoped the goblins were as skilled at killing as they were at “plucking poultry”—left a lasting impression on Klagga. He felt “properly special” after that encounter, and the memory lingers in his heart.
2. “Unfinished Love Letter”
In another note, “Unfinished Love Letter,” Klagga attempts to arouse Minthara’s interest with poetic descriptions of her home, The Underdark. He ponders whether Drow appreciate comparisons to mushrooms, ultimately concluding that they probably do. His words reveal both vulnerability and determination, as he seeks to win Minthara’s favor.
3. “Love Letter Notes”
The final note, “Love Letter Notes,” finds Klagga struggling to find the perfect comparisons for Minthara. The moon and stars are off-limits—she lives underground. He worries about his height, wondering if he’ll measure up to her expectations. Despite his lack of confidence, Klagga’s sincerity shines through:
“I ain’t never been to the Underdark. Grikka says there’s beasties down there that make an ogre look like a baby gnome, but I says if anything as lovely as you grows among all the tasty mushrooms down there, it’s the best place there ever was.” — Klagga, Unfinished Love Letter
Minthara’s Noble Disinterest
Alas, Minthara does not share Klagga’s feelings. Her noble upbringing in Menzoberranzen has instilled a superiority complex, and she regards goblins with disdain. If Klagga were to confess his love, Minthara would likely respond with cold indifference or worse. Their paths diverge—one yearning for love, the other bound by duty and pride.
In the intricate web of Baldur’s Gate 3, love remains elusive for Klagga and Minthara. Perhaps their story serves as a reminder that not all affections find reciprocation, even in a world teeming with magic and possibility.
So, as the Goblin Tracker continues to pen his heartfelt notes, Minthara remains resolute—a Paladin with no room for sentimentality. Their tale unfolds against a backdrop of danger, intrigue, and hidden desires, leaving players to wonder: Will Klagga’s love endure, or will it fade like a forgotten spell?
Note: The romantic subplot involving Minthara and Klagga is just one of the many captivating threads woven throughout the rich narrative of Baldur’s Gate 3. As players explore the game, they’ll encounter more surprises, secrets, and unexpected connections.
