'''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.


'''Companions''' are characters in Baldur's Gate 3 who can join the player in the adventure throughout [[Faerûn]]. All companions can be [[Character Creation#Origins|Origin Characters]], with the exception of [[Halsin]], [[Jaheira]], [[Minsc]], and [[Minthara]], and recruitment of any particular companion is optional. The player character can start a [[Romance|romantic relationship]] with any Origin Character, regardless of race or gender.
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.


As of Patch 9, there are five companions available for recruitment.

Companions are not to be confused with [[Camp Followers]].

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 Romanced. If a companion dislikes the player's actions enough, they may leave the party or even try to kill the player.

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.


Standard Companions

Note: These companions are not available in Early Access.


Temporary Companions

There are also temporary companions during your adventure. These characters can be recruited into the player’s party during 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.

Recruitment Locations

Companions

  • Astarion: At the Ravaged Beach, continuing in the same path you fought the Intellect devourers.
  • 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.

Temporary Companions

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