Baldur’s Gate 3 players are accidentally completing the game without key companions
It turns out that someBaldur’s Gate 3players are accidentally completing the game without ever encountering main companions.
This revelation came to light when a Reddit usershared their experienceof finishing the game without ever finding Lae’zel, a central character, in a post titled “I beat the entire game without Lae’zel.”
The user explained, “No, I don’t just mean I never used her in my party – I never found her. Somehow, in some way, I explored every inch of Act 1 except the area where she’s been caged up. I am very stupid.”
Lae’zel’s absence from this player’s journey is particularly surprising given that she is one of the first companions players typically encounter. However,the sprawling nature of Act 1and thevarious locations where companions can be foundmake it plausible for players to miss them. For instance, after the Nautiloid’s crash, Lae’zel finds herself in a predicament near the Grove, and players need to explore thoroughly to decide her fate.
Other players haveshared similar experiences, especially with Gale. Some players saw the “unstable portal” and decided to avoid it, while others intended to return later but never did. One player recounted failing to rescue Gale, expecting him to appear elsewhere, only to realize that wasn’t the case.
Others shared their unique encounters, likeone who missed out on recruiting Wyllsimply because they didn’t want to interrupt Wyll’s training session with a child.
Withten distinct companions, each with unique personalities and specialties, players have many choices in Baldur’s Gate 3 when it comes to choosing a party. From thecharismatic Astarion to the powerful Lae’zel, there are plenty of possibilities.
The game’s design allows for such varied experiences, but some characters, such as Shadowheart, will appear at different points based on player actions and therefore can’t be missed.
