Baldur S Gate 3 Jaheira Companion Guide

If you’ve read our Baldur’s Gate 3 review, you’ll know that picking the right companion for your character is essential to creating the perfect party. For more information on her Druid and Fighter classes, check out our Baldur’s Gate 3 classes guide. And, while you’re at it, reading up on what makes High Elves a versatile class in our BG3 races overview might help you understand Faerûn better – or help you decide which race you want to play for your own character. With that out of the way, continue reading to find out all we know about Jaheira’s return in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How to recruit Jaheira

You can either meet up with Jaheira in the Last Light Inn, or during the assault on Moonrise Towers. If you opt to attack the Druid Grove, she may treat you with hostility.

How to raise Jaheira’s approval rating

Given Jaheria’s strong personality and love of nature, protecting nature at any cost will garner her support. As a ‘true neutral’ character, she doesn’t get involved with petty deeds one way or the other, but she does not like it when you perform truly abhorrent acts.

How to romance Jaheira

Jaheira is the one companion who is unavailable for romance. You can still gain her approval (or disapproval) but nothing you do will lead to anything even remotely romantic.

Best Jaheira build

We suggest following our best BG3 druid build for Jaheira, as her spellcasting and shapeshifting abilities far outweigh the fighter portion of her kit.
