Baldur’s Gate 3: All Party Members & Companions So Far
Baldur’s Gate 3 is out now for PC, and is most likely 2023’s quintessential computer RPG experience courtesy of Larian Studios (of Divinity fame).
Just like any Dungeons & Dragons title, you need to form up a party so that you don’t have to go at the adventure alone. Baldur’s Gate 3 has 10 known permanent companions who can join you, possibly even more as the game just launched this week. Here’s the list:
Here’s how you can recruit them:
The gothic human Cleric who wields a mean blunt weapon/shield combo and can heal your team in a pinch. She’s a great starter character to have in your party, especially if it’s your first time playing a CRPG of this magnitude.
How To Find: You can rescue her while you’re on the Nautiloid mindflayer ship at the start of the game. She’s trapped in the glass casing; you just have to go to the next room and find an item that fits inside the console panel next to her. After the crash landing sequence, she’ll be laying unconscious by the beach;you can recruit her from there on out.
If you didn’t come across her in this instance, you’ll instead find her at the furthest Eastern point of the beach after the ship crashlanded; it’s by the entrance to the Dank Crypt.
Short-tempered Githyanki. She’s a Fighter, meaning she can tank and deal big damage with any weapon she has while carrying Heavy Armor.
How To Find: You’ll encounter her pretty early on in the Nautiloid as part of the game’s onboarding process. After the ship crashes and you’re separated, you can find her at North of the Roadside Cliffs Waypoint (an example of a fast travel point in Baldur’s Gate 3). If you have met Gale, you can find her within the vicinity. She will be captured by two Tiefling hunters; you can deceive them into running away, and then let her out of her cage by destroying the weak floor panel of the trap she’s in.
Human Wizard who can learn spells off of scrolls. He’s better in the rear when fighting since he has a lot of spells at his disposal, but can’t take a hit. You may need to feed him magical items every now and then as part of his companion quest. As such, he’s great for people starting out in the game who need a well-balanced party.
How To Find: Gale is first found directly at the Roadside Cliffs Waypoint to the North of the Crashed Nautiloid. He is stuck inside the portal. Help him out to join the team proper. If you happen to be The Dark Urge, you can pick certain options that will yield violent effects in this scene.
A High-Elf Rogue who is good at being a thief and lockpicking/sneak attacking. Deals great damage if he hits and runs anything on the field. He’s also a vampire; for plot reasons he can walk in sunlight and walk into houses uninvited.
How To Find: Astarion is first discovered to the West of the Crashed Nautiloid. After some fairly fraught dialogue, he’ll join your team. He’s honestly hard to miss.
A Human Warlock who has some fancy sword moves but has better spellcasting powers. He’s a Hell-powered Warlock with utility and control casting kind of spells. If you need a flexible party member who can melee and cast ranged spells/buffing spells, he’s your guy in your party.
How To Find: Wyll is close to the main entrance of the Druid’s Grove, training Tiefling kids how to fight. Talk to him to recruit him; you’ll also open up a quest to find another potential party member named Karlach.
Keep in mind: if you side with the goblins in the game’s first major questline at the Goblin’s Camp, he will leave your party.
A Zariel Tiefling Barbarian. She packs a punch and can attract foes’ attention with her taunting and Barbarian skills.
How To Find: Karlach is at the end of the Risen Road, East of the tollhouse. It’s best you take Wyll’s quest to find Karlach as it’ll narrow down the location in Risen Road. You’ll have to cut through the Blighted Village to get to this point, then deal with some gnolls along the way.
A Wood Elf Druid who can shapeshift into a bear. Good as both a melee character and a ranged spellcaster too.
How To Find: He is found imprisoned in the Worg Pens in the Goblin’s Camp. He will temporarily join you in the eventual fight in this section, and then will task you to kill all the Goblin Leaders in the camp. Only then he’ll head back to the Druid’s Grove, and then join you as a permanent party member.
Keep in mind: if you side with the Goblins, he will be hostile to you.
A Drow Paladin. Quite a dedicated zealot. One of the leaders of the Goblin Camp main quest.
How To Find: She is found in the Shattered Sanctum at the end of the Goblin Camp. You’ll have to convince her that you’re game in joining her raiding party in destroying the Druid Grove.
This also means that Wyll will leave your party and Halsin won’t join, since you’ve joined the side of “evil”.
Elf Druid from the past Baldur’s Gate games.
How To Find: TBA
