Jaheira is one of the companions you’ll meet later during your journey in Baldur’s Gate 3. While she isn’t available to pick as an origin character, you can still get her halfway through the game. Still, it is important to mention that getting her as a permanent companion is a bit complicated, and you’ll need to meet certain requirements, beat a few enemies, keep her alive, and choose the right dialogues. So, let’s see how you can recruit Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3 without further ado.
To recruit Jaheira as a companion in Baldur’s Gate 3, the first thing you must do is reach Act 2 and meet her. The fastest way to do this is through the Underdark, as you’ll get to Last Light Inn much faster. Once you’re in Last Light Inn, these are the things you must do:
– Speak to Jaheira and head upstairs to speak with Isobel.
– Win the fight against the enemies that attack Last Light Inn.
– If Isobel gets kidnapped, fight all the enemies and keep Jaheira alive.
– After the fight, talk to Jaheira and tell her to join you in the fight against Ketheric Thorm.
– Head to Moonrise Towers, and Jaheira will join you as a follower.
– Defeat the enemies on the ground and second floors, and defeat Ketheric Thorm on top of Moonrise Towers.
– After the fight, speak to Jaheira and ask her to join you (you won’t be able to change party members until you beat the final phase of Ketheric Thorm).
– Defeat Ketheric Thorm for good and head to Baldur’s Gate (Act 3).
– Speak to Jaheira who is now at your camp at the beginning of Act 3, as a permanent companion.
Options That Prevent You From Recruiting Jaheira

If you want to recruit Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3, you must avoid these decisions when playing through the second act:
– If playing as a Dark Urge character, don’t kill Isobel.
– Don’t kill Nightsong after finishing the Gauntlet of Shar.
These are essentially the two big choices you need to avoid when playing and before the Moonrise Towers fight. If you do any of them, Jaheira will die by your hand or off-screen, preventing you from recruiting her.
