Quick Tips
- Companion approval unlocks personal quests, camp scenes, and romance options — pick dialog cues that match their alignment even in indirect situations.
- You can only recruit either Halsin OR Minthara depending on whether you side with the tieflings or the goblins at the Emerald Grove.
- Karlach and Wyll gate several late-Act 1 & Act 2 story beats — keep them in the party for maximum content.
- Long rest often between story beats — most companion cutscenes trigger during rest, and skipping them locks approval and romance milestones.
- Hirelings from Withers (200 gold each) let you respec class or fill missing party roles — they have no approval, no personal quests, and no romance.
- Withers is always in camp after Act 1 and offers unlimited class + subclass respec — use him to test builds without permanent commitment.
- Certain choices give companions permanent -20 to -40 approval (e.g., killing tieflings for Wyll, siding with goblins for Karlach) — these can lock romance even if you rebound with dozens of small approvals later.
- Late Act 2 has a 'point of no return' checkpoint before the Nightsong sequence — grind approvals before that or you lose the romance confession window entirely.

Bg3 · Frequently Asked Questions
Top 12 community questions from Google People Also Ask. See the full FAQ hub →
Where exactly is the Missing Shipment on the Risen Road?
It is near the gnoll cave encounter on the Risen Road in Act One, where Rugan and Olly are trapped by gnolls.
Can I start the quest without finding Rugan and Olly?
Yes. You can also start it by speaking with Zarys in the Zhentarim Hideout in Waukeen’s Rest or by reading a note from one of her missing agents.
What if the guards die before I finish the fight?
You can still continue by taking the chest and following the Zhentarim thread, though you may lose some dialogue and options.
Should I open the shipment chest?
Only if that is the outcome you want. If you are trying to follow the quest path cleanly, it is usually smarter to hold off until you decide how you want to handle it.
Is the quest only in Act One?
Yes, the quest is listed as an Act One quest.
Does the route matter if I enter from the back or front?
Yes, the dialogue changes depending on whether you come in through the back entrance or the front entrance, though the overall quest outcome remains the same.
Is Losiir a real companion in Baldur’s Gate 3?
No, Losiir is a temporary prologue companion tied to Lae'zel’s origin, not a permanent recruitable companion.
Why does Losiir replace Lae'zel?
He replaces her role in the Nautiloid prologue so the Lae'zel origin can preserve the opening structure from her point of view.
Can you revive Losiir with Revivify?
No, he cannot be revived with a Scroll of Revivify because he is not a playable character.
Where is Losiir’s body after the crash?
His corpse is on the beach near the crash site, where it can be looted.
Does Losiir have the same stats as Lae'zel?
He has almost identical statistics and features, but he uses a scimitar and longbow and starts with the Defence fighting style.
Is Losiir worth caring about?
Yes, if you are playing Lae'zel origin, want the prologue differences, or want the extra crash-site loot; otherwise he is mostly a temporary scene-specific NPC.
