Companion Locations:
Astarion’s Location in BG3: Found along the southwestern path leading to the top of the Nautiloid in Act 1, after the crash. Head west from the lower end of the ship, up the hill, and find him on the path leading to the northern end. He is concerned about walking brains and will pull a knife on you. After a discussion about tadpoles, you can recruit him.
Gale’s Location in BG3: Found along the northern road escaping the Nautiloid crash site. He appears from a portal in a rocky wall. Helping him out of the portal allows dialogue and recruitment. If you don't assist him or choose to bite his hand (as the Dark Urge), his portal closes, and recruitment may be impossible.
Halsin’s Location in BG3: He is a quest objective in Act 1, missing after investigating a Goblin Threat. You can find him in the Shattered Sanctum (Chapel beyond the Goblin Camp, west of the Blighted Village). Look for him in the Worg Room, behind an Ornate Door near three Sharp Eye Goblins. Access this by going up the stairs near the Priestess, towards Minthara, and climbing the ladder, or by going towards the prisoner cells, crossing a wooden path, and entering the room with Sharp Eyes. Halsin is disguised as a Cave Bear in the bottom right of the Worg Room. Depending on your actions with the Goblin Camp, you may free him in the Shattered Sanctum or find him at the Druid Grove. This information is based on Early Access Act 1, and recruitment details may change.
Jaheira’s Location in BG3: Confirmed as a companion, but details on her recruitment are not yet known.
