Astarion: The Slyly Deceptive Rogue
Astarion is not your average Elf. He’s a rogue and a secret vampire. Yes, you read that right. He doesn’t drink coffee in the morning, he drinks blood. But don’t let that scare you away. Astarion is a valuable ally with high dexterity and a set of applicable skills. Just remember to keep him away from running water. Trust me, he hates baths.
Gale: The Cheerful Wizard
If you’re looking for someone to lighten the mood with a well-timed joke while hurling fireballs at enemies, Gale is your guy. As a wizard, he’s a walking magical encyclopedia. Not only can he cast a wide range of spells, but he can also learn spells he’s given. Just make sure you cover his back while he casts spells, or he might accidentally burn your eyebrows off.
Lae’zel: The Brutal Fighter
Meet Lae’zel – the embodiment of brute force. She’s a fighter with a no-nonsense attitude and a strong dislike for compromise. Lae’zel is all about smashing enemies with her longsword and tanking damage like a pro. Just be prepared for her occasional outbursts. She has a temper that could rival a raging barbarian.
Shadowheart: The Illusionist Cleric
Shadowheart is a cleric with a twist. She serves the night god Shar, which means she has a knack for illusions and manipulation. So not only can she heal your wounds, but she can also trick enemies into thinking they’re seeing unicorns. Okay, maybe not unicorns, but you get the idea. Keep her at a safe distance, and let her rain down spells on your foes.
Wyll: The Heroic Warlock
Last but not least, we have Wyll – the self-proclaimed champion and a warlock with a fiend patron. He’s all about doing good, saving innocents, and looking heroic. Wyll is an all-rounder, capable of adapting to any situation. Whether you need him to blast enemies with spells or charm their pants off, he’ll get the job done.
The Best Companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
Now, choosing the best companions for your adventure can be tough – like deciding between pizza or tacos for dinner. It ultimately depends on your playstyle and strategy. But fear not, we’ve ranked them for you:
-
Shadowheart: She’s an overpowered healer with versatile spells and a handy Guidance cantrip. Plus, you can never have too many divine miracles on your side.
-
Gale: He may be fragile, but his devastating spells make him a living artillery. Just make sure to protect him from the scrappy goblins.
-
Lae’zel: If you need a tank to soak up damage and pulverize enemies, Lae’zel is your go-to companion. Just don’t mind her occasional grumbling – it’s her way of saying she cares.
-
Wyll: This utility warlock can fit multiple roles, making him a solid choice when you’re unsure. Think of him as the Swiss Army Knife of your team.
-
Astarion: While he’s great at scouting, venturing alone in dangerous dungeons is a recipe for disaster. His vampiric tendencies and aversion to water make him an acquired taste.
How to Swap Party Members and Companions
You’re not stuck with the same group forever. When you take a long rest at the campfire, you can switch party members. Just talk to the characters you want to keep at camp, and they’ll happily stay behind, drinking tea and sharing gossip.
To fill the vacancies, simply talk to the companions you want to join and invite them into your party. It’s like assembling a dream team, only with fewer arguments over trade deals.
Now that you’re acquainted with all the companions of Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s time to gather your team, slay some dragons, and save the world (or maybe just grab some loot). Remember, with the right balance of wit, spells, and brute force, victory is within your grasp.
