Editing Companions

| description = Companions are playable characters who can join and fight alongside the player character in Baldur's Gate 3. Each has their own motivations, personalities, and perspectives.

'''Companions''' are playable characters who can join and fight alongside the player character. Each has their own motivations, personalities, and affinity that increase or decrease according to the player's choices. At high approval levels, many companions can be [[Romance|romanced]]. Conversely, a companion may leave the party or even try to kill the player character if their approval becomes too low.

[[Origin]] companions are playable characters with rich backgrounds and ties to the world and the events of the game. The origin companions can be recruited shortly after completing the [[Prologue]]. Each Origin can also be selected as a player character as an alternative to making a custom character. <hr>

There are also temporary companions during your adventure. These characters can be recruited party members during [[All Quests|quests]] or through world interactions.

Unlike camp followers, temporary companions are able to join as party members and some can become temporary playable characters.

<center><gallery heights="150px" mode="nolines">

*'''[[Lae'zel]]''': You'll first encounter her during the [[Prologue]]. Afterwards, she can be found trapped by tieflings, south of the [[Emerald Grove]]. If she is not freed, or if she does not join you, Lae'zel can later be found confronting the Githyanki patrol as part of the [[Find the Githyanki Crèche]] quest. If you still do not recruit her, she can later be found, dead, in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]]. Her corpse is too damaged to be spoken to, but as a playable character she can be resurrected using Revivify or its scroll version.

*'''[[Wyll]]''': Inside the [[Secluded Grove]], training young tieflings. If Karlach joins the party before him he can appear at camp trying to attack Karlach, the player can choose side or calm him down and he joins the party.

 

*'''[[Minthara]]''': One of the three leaders of the [[Goblin Camp]]. She can be recruited at [[Moonrise Towers]] so long as she is not killed, and is not made hostile at the Goblin Camp. This includes either attacking the Grove, or ignoring the Grove entirely. Since patch #5 Minthara can also be recruited by [[Knocked Out (Temporary) (Condition)|knocking her out temporarily]]. After the other goblin leaders are killed, she will show up at Moonrise Towers ready to be recruited.

*'''[[Jaheira]]''': Found at the [[Last Light Inn]]. She will become available as a possible companion during the assault on Moonrise Towers, so long as she is alive and not hostile.

*'''[[Us]]''': aboard the [[Nautiloid]], take the elevator right after leaving the starting room. Will only join you for the [[Prologue]], and potentially as a summonable at the end of Act 2.
