Recruitment Locations

Companions

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 a Teleportation Rune close to the Nautiloid.

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.

Shadowheart: She'll join you if you free her on the Nautiloid, and will later be unconscious close to the place your player landed.
