Where to Find Jaheira In Baldur’s Gate 3

Easy to meet, hard to recruit

Jaheira is one of the many NPCs present in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) with whom you can interact and even recruit to your party. However, unlike Asterion or Wade, she isn’t a part of the early game, which makes it pretty tricky for many players to find her. Here’s where to find Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) Jaheira Location

The main issue with Jaheira is the simple fact that you can’t recruit her immediately after you two meet for the first time. She’s found relatively early in Act 2 when you reach the Last Light Inn. 

  • If you choose the path through the Mountain Pass, you’ll meet Kar’niss, who takes you directly to the Moonrise Towers. From the Moonrise Towers, you have to travel north to find the Last Light Inn. 
  • If you choose the Gymforge route, you’ll meet the Harpers directly. Just tag along, and you will eventually reach the Last Light Inn. 

Do note that no matter which route you take, there will be challenges waiting for you along the way. For example, if you go along with Kar’niss, you’ll automatically get attacked by the Harpers (you can also betray Kar’niss at this point). 

Jaheira will be waiting at the Last Light Inn. You’ll also be able to interact and chat with her, but you can’t recruit her directly at the Inn.  

How to Recruit Jaheira in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)?

Recruiting Jaheira is one of the most challenging tasks to do, as there are plenty of ways for her to die. 

  • Make sure to protect Isobel and prevent her from being taken by Marcus and Ketheric’s forces. If Isobel is taken, you’ll still get a chance to explain to Jaheira what happened. 
  • The Shadow Curse also endangers her, so make sure to request her to rest at your camp. 
  • The assault on Moonrise can get pretty bloody, and you have to save Nightsong in the Gauntlet of Shar. If you can’t save Nightsong, Jaheira won’t survive as well. So, protect Nightsong from both Balthazar and Shadowheart.  

If you have managed to do the steps correctly up to now, you’ll be able to add Jaheira as a temporary companion at the Moonrise Towers. Halfway through the final battle, Ketheric Thorm will escape to the pit. This is where you’ll be able to enlist Jaheira as a full-fledged member in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3). 

Do note that you can’t save Ketheric Thorm no matter what you do in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3). Even if you choose to spare him in the second part of the battle, Thorm will throw himself into the pit, ending Act 2.
