Larian Studios has recently released the brand new Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix #21. It addresses various issues, bugs, and problems in the game. As always, some changes were applied to companions. Minthara seems to be the focus of the last few hotfixes, but we're finally seeing some changes to Shadowheart, Wyll, and Gale as well. If you want to check out the full patch notes for Hotfix 21, you can do so here. Let's take a look at all the changes related to BG3 companions in the latest hotfix:
It seems like a lot of the recent hotfixes are focusing on Minthara. It's because more people know how to recruit her now, without turning on the teiflings, compared to when the game was first released (knock her out and you'll find her imprisoned in the Shadow-cursed lands). Now that Minthy is part of more parties, players can discover bugs and crashes related to her.

Gale Changes in Hotfix 21
- Fixed a potential blocker where having Gale sacrifice himself atop the Netherbrain would kill the player's character, leaving them as a mote in the epilogue, unable to talk to anyone.
Shadowheart Changes in Hotfix 21
- Fixed a crash during the transition between dialogue with Dame Aylin and Shadowheart's dream about her childhood.
Minthara Changes in Hotfix 21
- Fixed a bug causing Minthara to keep repeating a greeting that was also an Act III spoiler.
- Fixed an edge-case where having Minthara around could teleport the party back to the Emerald Grove instead of the Lower City.
- Fixed the 'Enemy of Justice' condition applying to your player character upon reaching Créche Y'llek or the Shadow-Cursed Lands if you knocked out Minthara in a previous region, or upon reaching the Lower City if you killed a guard at Moonrise Towers and Araj Oblodra witnessed it.
- Fixed a bug where the game would not realize knocked-out Minthara had been defeated in Act I if you took a Long Rest between knocking her out and defeating the other goblin leaders.
Wyll Changes in Hotfix 21
- Fixed Wyll's quest not starting when you recruit him by replacing another companion with him (feature introduced in Patch 6)
