Release Minsc From His Cell

Release Minsc from his cell is a small quest that takes place at the beginning of the start of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn saga in the Irenicus's Dungeon 1st Floor area. Minsc, like Jaheira, is trapped in a cage that has been locked, but there is no key found for this cage. 
==Gameplay==
Minsc's cage is located northeast of the PC's initial position. Unlike Jaheira's cage, it has no key or switch to open the cell and lockpicking is useless. 
Instead, you have to talk with Minsc and try to agitate him to the point where he breaks out of his own cage with his immense strength. 
After breaking out, he will realize that the whole thing was a charade (even if it wasn't) and will offer to accompany you. 
If you decide not to let Minsc join the party, he will make his own way out of the Dungeon, somehow. You can find him again in the Copper Coronet in the Athkatla Slums district.
