Four Companions That You Can Recruit

Four Companions
In Avowed, there are a total of four companions that can be recruited to your party. These four are Kai, Marius, Giatta, and Yatzli.

Each companion has their own history, skill sets, personalities, and gameplay differences that can affect many aspects of your adventure.

How to Talk to Companions

Only Two Companions Can Accompany You

Two Companions

Unfortunately, you cannot bring all four companions with you when venturing the Living Lands as the game only allows you to bring two companions in your journey while the others stay at camp.

Can You Romance Companions?

Companions Aren't Romanceable

Avowed Companions

You can't romance your companions in Avowed as there is no bond or any relationship system in the game, but you can talk to your companions at the party camp to get to know them better, as well as do their companion quests to learn more about their stories.

However, there is a romantic interaction so far exclusive to Kai in which you can confess to having feelings for him. This interaction will be available once his Companion Quest, Battle Scars, has been completed.

Is There Romance in Avowed?

What are Companions?

Allies Accompanying on Your Journey

Companions are characters that will accompany you on your journey throughout the Living Lands. They can help you with battles against enemies, have unique dialogue with some quests depending on the companions you have and can be commanded to do some tasks.

In battle, companions can provide live commentary like the weakness of an enemy or what their current status are.

List of All Companion Abilities

Companions Can Level Up

Since companions can also join you in battle, this also means they gain exp and can level up. Once they level up, you can then use the points to learn new abilities or improve their current ones to aid you in battle.
