Four companions can be found in the first town you will visit, Cyseal. They will offer to join your party and assist you through your travels. In addition, you will be able to hire mercenaries as companions once you get to the Hall of Heroes. The price you pay for a hireling is a one time cost. A player can have up to two companions. If one character has the Lone Wolf Talent, the party limits to only one companion. If both characters have the Lone Wolf Talent, they cannot have any companions. The game alters the companion's experience rate so that they are able to catch up to the characters' level.
Note: When asked to leave the party, companions return to the Hall of Heroes in the Homestead. If you don't have the Hall of Heroes unlocked yet, they will go to the King Crab Tavern in Cyseal.
