@ Jalily tried that already Minsc went nuts and killed Imoen @Balquo I will try that
A method I found worked in BGt was to take Dynaheir deep into and interior and ditch her there before booking it out of there. Unfortunately, in BGEE minsc seems to have telepathy and leaves too
I've been hearing good things about Neera. Is their any way to ditch Dynaheir without losing Minsc in BG:EE?
Get dynaheir die a permadeath. On Core difficulty and above npcs can die permanently if they die from a high damage killing blow or certain spells. When they die this way, they are gone forever and their portraits are also removed from the UI.
The easier way is to walk her into a house or across another area transition alone. The rest of the party is outside. Then remove her from the party as normal.
As she cannot walk to CHARNAME to give her leaving dialogue she won't take Minsc with her.
Maybe you want to play an unmodded game I'm not sure. But there's a feature in the SCS(sword coast stratagems) mod where you can tell your companions to group up at certain locations and also split up sets. All smooth with some convincing dialogue. I love making all my npc's group up and pick whichever would suit the situation best at that moment, adds an extra dimension in the game for me.
Having people wait for you is probably only justifiable with a high charisma though.
Walk her into a horde of basilisks or just make her use a cursed scroll of petrification. She'll be removed from the party, but you can always get her back by removing the petrification if you want.
I just make her walk alone to an ogre in the woods and bam she's gone. Minsc dosn't leave, he just goes something like ''DYNAHEIR, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!'' and that's that. I havn't tried it in BGEE but if a companion isn't permadead you can still remove him/her from the party when he/she is dead without causing their bondmate to leave.
Petrification is a better option, as mentioned above, because it doesn't remove them from the game forever, in case you ever change your mind. It's easy to find basilisks very very early in the game if you know where to look.
A method I found out that is harmless for all parties and can be rationalised by believing that one member of the pair was understanding of the need for the other to go away is to remove one member from the party in an inn (I used the Belching Dragon in Nashkel). Both Dynaheir and Minsc leave, but once you ask the one outside the tavern to rejoin you, the partner that has been left in the other area is complacent in sitting around, presumably awaiting the return of their partner after you have concluded your quest. No one is turned to stone, no one kills anyone else, and no one is inexplicably blown into tiny meaty chunks by a club, or something ridiculous.

Pretty sure if Dynaheir dies a normal, critical death (happens more often the higher the difficulty) then Minsc will automatically use berserk. His berserk will sometimes make a confusion effect where he will attack anything (enemies or allies) and give the bonus stats or just give him the bonus stats. I haven't seen the berserker class' or barbarian class' berserk put a confusion on them so I think it's just Minsc. Since he is a ranger after all, and the berserk ability was given to him when his head hit the rock (which was the defining moment for the character).
When I ditch Dynaheir I make her go alone inside the cave belov the gboll stronghold. When she is inside the cave and the rest of my party is outside the cave I ditch her.... I can then make a complete play through without any problems.

Incorrect! Minsc has the berzerk ability because he is a rashemen ranger...this is much different than your average fighter berzerker/barbarian ( ugh redundancy) the blow to the head is why his int and wis are so low.

Have you tried using Minsc to kill her away from the party so he can't go berserk and kill other party members? Rp wise you could say that Minsc went berserk and accidentally killed his precious witch and then you happen upon the helpless Neera and in his grief stricken state he takes her along as his new witch.
I usually let Dynaheir "believe" that she was going to die a noble cause for the party. That without her sacrifice we would all die. So I send her alone into a bunch of ogres to flay them. Then just walk on by. Should she happen to live she gets to stay.
I'm at a loss...I can't see why anyone would want to ditch Dynaheir. But I don't want Minsc. I seem to remember from somewhere that there is a way either in NearInfinity or somewhere else to break this tie. Anyone know what I mean? And out of curiosity, why get rid of Dynaheir, when she can do fireballs, etc.?
Yea, reviving a dead thread. Found this one since I was curious how I had Minsc but not Dynaheir in a party since I read so much about how you need to kill Dynaheir. In my case right before the stronghold Minsc was complaining that I took too long and would leave so I restored to an earlier autosave and left minsc on that screen. I then went to rescue Dynaheir but I'm pretty sure I declined her request to join (since I didn't want her since I was a sorcerer.) When I went back to the screen where I left Minsc I was able to have him rejoin.

@Zanian I've managed to petrify her. That worked like a charm
Thank you all so much for your help.
Has anyone else tried it the same way?
