Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Minthara doesn't sheathe weapons (PS5)

Just recruited her in Act 2. Unlike other companions, she doesn't sheathe weapons. The rest of them do so automatically after a couple of seconds but Minthara runs around with weapons drawn all the time. Tried reloading and recruiting her again, same thing happens. Tried everything I can think of: reviving, restarting, toggling the hide weapon/instrument (doesn't work at all for her weapons). Since we don't have a sheathe weapons button for the console versions, I think she's stuck like that. If I had a PC, I think I could do it easily with cross save but unfortunately I don't. Anyone else that had the same problem? (Also it happens with every weapon that I tried, so it's not because of a flaming weapon like the Everburn Blade).

Also, the switch weapon set shortcut doesn't work without an action, that's very annoying as well.

I am on PS5, Patch 5, Hotfix #18.
Here is Minthara recruited on an Evil Route. I took three screenshots (front, back and stealth) and cropped them:

I can confirm she sheathes her weapons outside of combat and can go into stealth.

Did you recruit her on a Good playthrough?

Yep, good playthrough. Just got a response for my bug report, it says that the team is aware of the issue. Thanks for your reply, I’ll let them know that it works on the evil route, maybe it will jühelp them isolate the issue.

An update for those that have the same problem: I had BG3 on my Steam account, so I enabled cross save, signed up for Geforce Now's free membership, loaded my last save on GeForce Now, unsheathed my weapon with the U key, went back to my PS5 game, loaded the synced save and now it's fixed!

Write it off as Drow paranoia - "a girl is always ready to get bounced" being beaten into highborn maidens by their fiftieth birthday - and roll with it :P

I had the same happen on my knockout run Durge (resist the urge) though it wasn't totally consistent.

I actually prefered her look with the bug and weapons drawn, but that's just cause I think weapons on the back are pretty absurd.

I wish we could just have a button for some of this stuff, to hide or flourish the weapons. Or perhaps have a walking toggle and a ready arms toggle that have differe idles.

Hello guys. I have this issue too when I got Minthara with the knock out exploit.

There is actually a button to toggle this on PC (sorry PS5 folks) just press U and she will sheathe her weapons. She will unsheathe it again later (or least that’s what I’m seeing in my game) but it seems to stay for a long time. I don’t necessarily mind since she looks badass with the flail I gave her but I see how it can bug some people. Hopefully they fix this soon, along with the other dozen issues Minthara has.

EDIT: I just saw OP already pointed this out. Oh well XD

Drow girls LOVE flails! It is a racial thing :P
