In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can throw a space hamster into battle. Each companion has a suitable sentence ready for this. MeinMMO tells you what’s behind it.
Beware, spoilers: The article contains spoilers from Act 3.
Minsc is one of the many companions that players can join on their adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3. Many of us already know him from the previous Baldur’s Gate parts. However, this character only appears in the third act of the game.
At his side is his beloved space hamster Boo, more precisely Boo is actually a normal hamster… but Minsc thinks he is a miniature giant space hamster. And Boo is more than just a pretty ball of fur – he can actively participate in the fight. When players use Boo during a fight, he doesn’t hesitate to bite hard.
A Baldur’s Gate 3 player recently experienced a fascinating revelation about the space hamster Boo. The player discovered that Boo has a unique connection with each companion.
This is how you can reduce your load:
Boo the space hamster is more than just cute
So what’s the deal with Boo? As Boo is thrown into battle, Minsc occasionally shouts phrases like: Go for it, Boo! But interestingly, all other companions in the game can also interact with Boo.
A Reddit user named MassiveWasabi revealed that each companion in the game utters a unique line whenever Boo is thrown into battle. Here are some possible companion reactions:

How do other players react? Player reactions to discovering Boo’s special interactions are consistently enthusiastic and humorous.
Star_Mind is completely amazed and comments with the words: Wait… you can throw Boo!!
AlfredPetrelli brings in a humorous angle by pointing out: This hamster has more armor class than most wizards…maybe it’s a space hamster. The little hamster has an armor class of 20.
plsnthnks jokingly regrets not being able to use the hamster earlier in the game and comments: I wish we could get Minsc and Jaheira sooner. If that had been an option, I would have thrown the hamster for a hundred hours.
These reactions illustrate how such unexpected and humorous details in Baldur’s Gate 3 can delight players and enrich the gaming experience. It’s nice to see how even the smallest elements like Boo’s role in the game can create so much excitement and entertainment.
