    Don't beserk him. Or place him away from party members when you do it.

    I always remember Keldorn calming him down every once in a while, he's the only one I've seen do it, so pick him up, I believe I told you that though :-P

    Keldron is the only charecter who can calm Minsc down. But only from the self imposed berserk state.
    Else he wanders around hitting anything and anyone he can reach. Just ensure that any charecter he is locked upon stays out of reach. IIRC he does not switch weapons in this state. So hope he was not using a bow when he went berserk.
    I remember Minsc killing off just about my entire party when the Mycnoid King in the sewers got to him. Just went to show what a distructive force he can be.

    Minsc's beserk is different from beserker rage. He will attack any near him. My recommendation, dont beserk him. If you do, make sure to get your other party members away from him.

    beserk is something really good when you are in the middle of a battle where the opponents are many and they are hard what i usually do is to draw back all my npc's and beserk minsc...its a matter of seconds for him to make the cut and slash

    Does Keldorn really calm Minsc down? I always thought Minsc's rage was exactly the same, regardless of whether or not Keldorn is present. I thought the only difference is a dialogue or two that Keldorn gives after Minsc's rage ends.

    Shrikant is correct. Keldron talks to him and he calms down.

    That's weird, it doesn't work that way in my game.

    Minsc goes berserk, just like he would normally, and at the end of the rage, Keldorn has a dialogue with him, but the rage lasts as long as it usually would have.

    I created a chaotic evil character, and when minsc berserks he shoots him with arrows. Does minsc prefer attacking chaotic evil Pc's over Pc's of a good alignment when he berserks?
