Out of the several NPCs in Baldur’s Gate 3, many want to add Halsin to their party. He is a druid Wood Elf, who is popularly known for his bear form. Druid is an excellent class to have in your party, especially if you didn’t select it as your class while creating your character. For example, with a druid, you can use the Healing Word spell to revive fallen allies from a distance without having to use up an action. This was just one of the many uses, there is a lot more a Druid can offer you as a companion. So here is how you can recruit Halsin in BG3.
