In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can throw a space hamster into battle. Each companion has an appropriate phrase ready for that. MeinMMO tells you what it’s all about.
Warning, Spoilers: The article contains spoilers from Act 3.
Minsc is one of the many companions that players can join in their adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3. Many of us already know him from the previous Baldur’s Gate
installments. However, this character only appears in the third act of the game.
By his side is his beloved space hamster Boo, to be precise, Boo is actually a regular hamster … but Minsc thinks of him as a miniature giant space hamster. And Boo is more than just a cute furball – he can actively take part in combat. When players use Boo in battle, he doesn’t hesitate to bite hard.
A player of Baldur’s Gate 3 recently experienced a fascinating revelation about the space hamster Boo. The player noticed that Boo has a unique connection to each companion.

Boo the space hamster is more than just cute
What’s the deal with Boo? When Boo is thrown into battle, Minsc occasionally shouts phrases like:
Interestingly, however, all other companions in the game can also interact with Boo.Get in the eyes, Boo!
A Reddit user named MassiveWasabi revealed that each companion in the game has their own line to say when Boo is thrown into battle. Here are some possible reactions from the companions:
- Shadowheart shouts:
Show NO mercy, Boo!
- Wyll might occasionally ask:
What would Minsc say? Oh right – Take the eyes, Boo!
- Jaheira says: ‘Land softly, or else the ranger will break me in two!’
- Minthara has a quirky preference: ‘I’d rather throw a bag full of spiders.’
Here you can see the Reddit post:
How do other players react? The players’ reactions to the discovery of the special interactions with Boo are overwhelmingly enthusiastic and humorous.
Star_Mind expresses complete astonishment and comments: Wait … you can throw Boo!! <Loading a save…>
AlfredPetrelli brings a humorous aspect by pointing out: This hamster has more armor class than most wizards… maybe it’s a space hamster.
The little hamster actually has an armor class of 20.
plsnthnks jokingly regrets that he couldn’t use the hamster earlier in the game and states: I wish we could get Minsc and Jaheira earlier. 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.
