A githyanki woman named Lae'zel is one of the first characters that you can add to your party as a companion in Baldur's Gate 3. On this page of our guide, we show where to find her as she is a possible companion appearing in two different locations during Prologue and Act 1. You will also learn about the requirements you may have to fulfill in order to recruit the female warrior, as well as the main statistics, equipment, and class of Laezel.

How to recruit Laezel during the Prologue?

1. The first meeting with Laezel is a story event taking place during the Prologue I.e. during the course of Escape the Nautiloid quest.
2. You'll meet the githyanki fighter either alone or accompanied by a temporary companion Us. You'll encounter her during the journey through the side area of the ship - a cut-scene with the confrontation will be activated automatically.

1. You'll begin a conversation, during which you can either exhaust all dialogue options or skip the preamble by choosing the last one.
2. You can not add Laezel to the party during the Prologue i.e. you need to take her with you during your path to the bridge. She will remain your companion up to the end of the Prologue, which final objective sees you crash the Nautiloid.

Where to find and how to save Laezel in Act 1?

1. Act 1 starts without Lae'zel in the team, but this doesn't mean you've lost the chance to travel with her. She can be found and asked to rejoin the team again.
2. Reach the area north of Roadside Cliffs (shown in the screenshot above). You'll encounter Lae'zel being imprisoned in a cage by a group of tieflings.

During the showdown with tieflings, you can act in two main ways:

1. Attack tieflings - you can either start with a surprise attack or the fight may be initiated by choosing a corresponding dialogue option.
2. Pass a skill check - you can either use Deception (scaring off the tieflings) or Persuasion (shooting down the cage). If you've chosen Persuasion, additionally choose to ally with Laezel and not ganging up with the tieflings to kill her.

1. If after dealing with tieflings, Laezel is still in the cage, destroy its bottom part to free the githyanki. To do that, perform any ranged attack (e.g. an arrow fired from a bow - screenshot above) and target it at the cage after manually turning on turn-based combat.
2. Now you can either ask Lae'zel to join the party, or send her to the Camp. Do not choose the option to part ways permanently.

How to gain favour with the companion?

You can gain favour with Laezel thanks to:

1. treat other characters (NPCs or team members) in a cruel way;
2. meet other githyanki in the world.

There is a possibility of romancing Laezel and the romance is available to both genders. We described the romance in a separate chapter of the guide.
