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

Many companions can be [[Romance]]d. If a companion dislikes the player's actions enough, they may leave the party or even try to kill the player.

Since version 1.0 the default [[Class]] of Companions can be changed. Narratively, however, for story purposes the game '''still acts as if they have their original Class'''.

''See also: [[Camp Followers]].''

== Origin Companions ==

[[Origin]] Companions are playable characters with rich backgrounds and ties to the world. Each origin can be played as a player character instead of making a custom character. Origin companions can be recruited shortly after completing the [[Prologue]]. See each companion page for recruitment details.<hr>

== Temporary Companions ==

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

Unlike Camp Followers, temporary companions are able to join the player’s party and some can become a temporary playable character.

== Hirelings ==

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are 12 Hirelings available to recruit – one for each class. Each has their own name, visuals, and race, and can be respecced at any time.

* Eldra Luthrinn - a [[human]] [[barbarian]]

* Brinna Brightsong - a [[bard]]

* Zenith Feur'sel - an [[elf]] [[cleric]]

* Sina'zith - a [[githyanki]] [[monk]]

* Ver'yll Wenkiir - a [[drow]] [[ranger]]

* Sir Fuzzalump- a [[dwarf]] [[wizard]]

* '''Astarion''': At the [[Ravaged Beach]], continuing in the same path you fought the Intellect devourers.

* '''Gale''': At the [[Ravaged Beach]], after trying to interact with an [[Ancient Rune Circle]] close to the Nautiloid.

* '''Halsin''':

* '''Lae'zel''': You'll first encounter her at the Nautiloid and then at the [[Ravaged Beach]], close to [[Secluded Grove]]. She is being held hostage by Tieflings.

* '''Minthara''':

* '''Shadowheart''': She'll join you if you free her on the Nautiloid, and will later be unconscious close to the place your player landed. If not freed from the Nautiloid, she'll be at the entrance of the [[Dank Crypt]] nearby. If not recruited on the Nautiloid or the [[Dank Crypt]], she'll be found inside the [[Secluded Grove]]. If ignored again, you'll encounter her either at the [[Goblin Camp]] or at the [[Mountain Pass]].

* '''Glut''': In the [[Myconid Colony]], Glut can be temporarily recruited during the quest [[Protect the Myconid Circle]]. He will remain in the player's party for as long as they remain in the [[Underdark]], and as long as his quest isn't completed.

* '''Sazza''': Being held prisoner in the [[Druid Grove]]. If the player helps her, she'll join the party while escaping.

* '''Us''': aboard the [[Nautiloid]], take the elevator right after leaving the starting room. Will only join you for the [[Prologue]].
