How to gather allies?

During your adventure in BG3, you'll meet a lot of independent NPCs and powerful factions. The story choices you make that affect the encountered persons will have their effect on the finale of the game. The people you left happy or that met their goal may become your allies that will stand by your side in the final battle.

The Gather Your Allies quest begins in Act 3, once you learn of the real danger to the world of Faerun. By completing side quests or going out of your way during exploration to help characters, you'll get their gratitude and support once you need it. If a person promises to help you in the fight, they will be added to the list of allies in your journal.

All allies and how to make them join in BG3

Here is a list of potential allies in BG3. Please note that you will not be able to recruit all of the characters listed below in one playthrough, as what characters decide to aid you depends on the decisions you make along the way. For example, if under Astarion's pressure you kill Yurgir in Act 2, he won't be available as an ally later.

1. Battle-Ready Owlbear - during Act 1, kill the mother and spare the small Owlbear. Next, save it from goblins and invite to your camp. Take care of him at the camp for at least 3 nights.
