Companions are characters that you can recruit to your party and assist you during combat and exploration in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3). Check out the full list of all companions, including their locations, and how to recruit them in our guide!

---|---|
Halsin Class: Druid Race: Wood Elf |
Minthara Class: Paladin Race: Lolth-Sworn Drow |
Jaheira Class: Druid Race: High Half-Elf |

There are also Non-Origin recruits scattered across the world with various recruitment methods, and which you cannot play as at the beginning of your journey. Like origin characters, they also have their own backstories and questlines, but are not as in-depth.
Depending on your choices, some of these non-origin characters will be locked out from being recruited (such as being unable to recruit Minsc without Jaheira).

Hirelings are playable characters that can be recruited by paying Gold to Withers.
To recruit a Hireling, simply speak to Withers and spend 100 Gold to open the recruiting menu. Once there, select one of the 12 different Hirelings available to recruit them (each one represents one of the playable classes in the game).
Companions are recruitable characters for your party and will aid you in combat, as well as accompany you throughout your journey in the game.
Each of them is set with a specific class along with their own personality, preferences, approvals, and dislikes. They will also provide insights based on the situation at hand through dialogue choices and social interactions.
There are a total of 10 companions that you'll meet in Baldur's Gate 3. 6 of them are Origin characters and 4 are Non-Origin characters.
You can only have a maximum of 3 companions in your party, so it's advisable to create a group with varying roles based on the combat utilities that each one offers.
For companions that you've met but have yet to add them to your group, they will remain at camp until you ask them to join you in your adventures. Take note that you cannot swap and change companions when you are not at your camp.
How Many Party Members Can You Have?
If you manage to get a high approval rating with your companion, you will have the opportunity to romantically interact with them which leads to a deeper relationship and engage in intimate activities.
