Companions

Companions are characters in Baldur's Gate 3 who can join the player in the adventure throughout Faerûn. All companions can be Origin characters as well and their recruitment is optional. The player can start a romantic relationship with any companion, regardless of race or gender.

The game also offers temporal companions. As the name indicates, these are characters who'll join the player only during a specific time or specific moments of the game and may or may not be player-controllable.

As of Patch 6, there are five companions available for recruitment.

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. 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.
