Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Lets Fans Recruit Mizora as a Companion — and Names 10 More

Baldur’s Gate 3 players who have long wished they could fight alongside the game’s most compelling non-companion characters now have a way to do just that, thanks to a brand-new mod that lets them recruit Mizora — Wyll’s patron devil — as a full party member. Developed by modder WorldWalker42, the mod arrives for the critically acclaimed role-playing game from Larian Studios and opens the door to a broader conversation about which memorable NPCs deserve official companion status. While Mizora is the first to receive a working implementation, the modder’s list of ten additional candidates suggests a wider, community-driven demand for more companions in the sprawling game.

The frustration behind the request is familiar to anyone who has played through the game’s three acts. Characters like the paladin Zevlor, who holds the Emerald Grove’s refugees together and then vanishes from the story, or the druid Kagha, whose redemption arc is left unresolved, are left hanging after delivering some of the game’s most emotionally weighty moments. The Mizora mod sidesteps that problem entirely. Mizora technically appears in camp, but only on her own terms — and most players would rather shove her back into the Nine Hells than spend time with her. The mod changes that calculus by allowing her hellish talents to support the player’s aims directly.

A Devil in the Party

For Mizora, the mod represents more than a novelty. She is the entity who granted Wyll his warlock powers, and while she does hang out in camp, her presence is deliberately conditional. The modder’s approach turns a character who is generally best avoided into a usable ally, giving players a way to leverage her abilities without forcing an uncomfortable relationship. It is a small change with outsized appeal for players who have spent hours trying to figure out what would happen if they could recruit her.

For Mizora, at least, that’s not a hypothetical question anymore. If you’ve been waiting to recruit her, check out this mod — and figure out who you want to nominate for the next NPC turned actual companion, too!

The reaction from the community has been one of appreciation for a problem that is, in many ways, a good one to have. Baldur’s Gate 3 did not run out of good characters when it ran out of companion slots, but that leaves curious, lore-focused players in an odd spot. Even with six great companions ready to recruit, players can spend the entire game wondering what it would be like to fight alongside Kagha or to share an evening in camp with Barcus.

Ten More Candidates for the Campfire

The modder’s list of ten additional characters paints a clear picture of what fans want from the game’s supporting cast. Alfira, a tiefling bard who writes the player an impromptu song in Act 1, is described as the clear contender to fill the game’s notable absence of a bard companion. Barcus Wroot, a gnome rescued from a burning windmill who eventually earns leadership of the Ironhand clan, is seen as a character with as much story as a companion — he just needs a class to build skills around.

Zevlor rounds out the Act 1 hopefuls, with fans asking why the good-aligned paladin cannot be recruited as the moral alternative to Minthara on an evil run. Volo, the charming explorer who talks his way into and out of every disaster, is a natural pick for commentary rather than combat, while Araj, the mysterious blood merchant of Moonrise Towers, carries an unwritten redemption arc tied to the fallen noble house Oblodra.

Sazza, the goblin scout saved three separate times across the game, is a fan favorite specifically because saving her repeatedly without being able to keep her starts to feel oddly personal. Kagha’s unresolved betrayal and Popper, the devoted kobold who worships a housecat and begs for “treatos,” are included for their narrative weight and charm respectively. He Who Was, an undead figure who raises skeletons to torment a woman from centuries past, offers an unhinged companion for evil runs, while Arabella, the tiefling child rescued from Auntie Ethel’s basement, represents unrealized potential and a mystery left deliberately open.

Looking Ahead

While the Mizora mod is the only one with a working implementation, the broader list signals a sustained, community-driven desire for more companions in Baldur’s Gate 3. The game’s six official companions remain more than enough for most playthroughs, but the modding scene has proven that curiosity about the supporting cast is a good problem to have. For now, players interested in recruiting Mizora can explore the mod directly, while the conversation about who should earn companion status next continues to grow. Whether Larian itself takes note of these requests remains to be seen, but the demand is clear: the game ran out of companion slots long before it ran out of characters worth recruiting.
