Welcome to the Baldur's Gate 3 Companions hub on BG3 Hub. This page brings every published companions guide together so you can move from the basics into deep, focused strategy without hunting through search. Whether you are just starting out or looking to sharpen a specific technique, the guides below cover the parts of Baldur's Gate 3 companions most players ask about, including astarion, shadowheart, karlach, lae'zel, gale, wyll, halsin, and minthara.

Right now the hub tracks 12 guides covering Baldur's Gate 3 companions. Every entry is written for the current version of the game and re-checked against patch notes, so the tips you read reflect what actually works today — not something that was true three seasons ago. New guides appear here automatically the moment they are published, so bookmarking this hub is enough to stay current on the entire companions section of Baldur's Gate 3.

Use the Companions guides below to pick the angle that matches your goal. If you want a fast overview, start with the shortest guide on astarion, shadowheart, karlach; if you want a full strategy breakdown, browse the longer walkthroughs and tier lists. The hub also links to the wider Baldur's Gate 3 pillar coverage on BG3 Hub, so you can cross-reference companions with related systems such as builds, combat, and progression without losing your place.
