Baldurs Gate 3: All companions Baldurs Gate 3 guide, walkthrough

In BG3, some characters you meet can join your party. On this page, you will find a list of all companions available in the game. Learn where to meet companions and whether you can recruit them again once they leave the party.

1. Us is a temporary companion that you can add to your party at the beginning of the game. Unfortunately, it will only accompany you until you leave the ship.
2. You will meet Lae'zel for the first time while traversing one of the damaged side sections of the Nautiloid ship. Lae'zel will automatically join the main character after a short conversation. She will remain on the party until you complete the prologue. After advancing to the first act of the campaign, you will have to find Lae'zel again.
3. You can also meet Shadowheart on board the ship during the prologue. If you don't help her get out of the capsule, you'll meet her near the place where the ship will crash.
4. Astarion will approach you at the beginning of the first act, near the shipwreck. The first meeting with Astarion can go in several different ways. If the meeting ends positively, Astarion will immediately join the party or visit you in the camp.
5. Gale is a Wizard that you can meet at the Ancient Rune Circle in Roadside Cliffs in act 1. After talking to him, you will get an option to add him to your party, refuse, or send him to the camp.
6. Wyll is in Druid Grove, which you must defend from a goblin attack during act 1. During a conversation with the Warlock, you can check his mind by performing a skill check, which you will definitely pass.
7. Helsin is a powerful Druid, whom you will meet in Warg Pens in act 1. When you help him escape from the goblin camp, you will meet him later in Druid Grove.
8. You can meet Karlach during the Hunt the Devil quest in act 1. While completing the quest, you must pick a side and either kill Karlach or deal with the paladins and their leader, Anders.
9. You will meet Minthara in the goblin camp in act 1. In our guide, we explained how to recruit Minthara to your party or defeat this strong Paladin.
10. Minsc is a character known from previous games. You will most likely be able to meet him in act 2 and help him take revenge on the cultists.
11. Jaheira is another person from the previous games. You will meet her at Last Light Inn during act 2.
