Last update: 20 November 2022

Assembling your party at the inn

Buying a companion lets you build the character from the ground up. - Pillars Of Eternity 2: How to quickly assemble the party? - FAQ - Pillars Of Eternity 2 Deadfire Game Guide
Buying a companion lets you build the character from the ground up.

An alternative (requiring gold) to recruiting companions traditionally is to hire them at the inn, at e.g. The Kraken's Eye in Port Maje Harbor. All you need to do is talk to the innkeeper and choose the Recruit Adventurers option. A window will open, as shown in the first picture - you can hire a companion, whose maximum level is equal to the level of your main character (the prices start from 250 coins and increase according to character level). Hiring a companion at the inn will open a character creation sheet, the same one you saw at the beginning of the game while customizing your character. This new companion can be customized from the ground up, you can choose his race, class, appearance and name.

Attention - characters that were present in the previous instalment of the game as companions (like the aforementioned Eder and Aloth) might not be available for recruitment, depending on the choices that had been made by the player in the original Pillars of Eternity. If you have imported save files, in which those companions are dead, or maybe you've chosen a story in which they died at the beginning of the game, you won't be able to encounter them in Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire.
