Who is Halsin in Baldur's Gate 3?
Halsin is one of the later companions you can recruit in Baldur's Gate 3. This shape-shifting druid has the potential to tear apart your enemies - or you, if you cross him. As one of the most versatile classes in the game, it will greatly help to have a good understanding of what druids can do when it comes to fighting demons, goblins, and dragons.
You first encounter Halsin in the game's first chapter, where he is being held captive in the Warg Pens. He will temporarily join your party as you drive out the goblin leaders from the Goblin Camp. However, he will then return to the Druid Grove and provide crucial information about the Moonrise Towers - key information for the main scenario.
Halsin's Abilities and Equipment
At the current time, the exact abilities, starting equipment, and skills of Halsin are not known. However, it is evident that he has higher statistics than other companions - a hint that he is likely available later in the game. His values may change once he joins your party.
Companion Quests with Halsin
Information about specific companion quests with Halsin is currently scarce - after all, he cannot be recruited at the moment. However, what we do know is that he plays an important role in the main quest "Save the Refugees." As an expert in parasite research - the very creatures that have infected you and your party - Halsin must be rescued from the goblin camp.
How to Gain Halsin's Approval
As a druid, it is reasonable to assume that protecting nature will increase his approval rating. Other druids hold him in high regard, and his general helpfulness could be a key to gaining his trust.
Game Strategies with Halsin
Druids are considered one of the most versatile classes in D&D 5e; they have proficiency with many weapon and armor types and access to powerful defensive spells. They also possess the impressive ability to shape-shift. However, it is still unclear how much control you have over his character build compared to other characters.
One thing is certain, though: Since druids can frequently change their spells, feel free to experiment with what works best for your party. The world of Baldur's Gate 3 offers many challenges and opportunities - use them wisely! And don't forget to get your Steam Key from Keyfuchs to start playing immediately!
