Dame Aylin, the fearsome aasimar, is now our sworn ally. She'll have our backs in any fight - no matter the enemy.
Lorroakan is more powerful than ever with the Nightsong in his possession, thanks to us. The might of Ramazith's Tower will be at our backs, should we ever need it.
Rolan is grateful for our help securing his position in Ramazith's Tower. We can rely on the tower's full power, should we ever need it.

Florrick is immensely grateful that we freed her and helped with the threat at Moonrise. We are sure to have her and the Flaming Fist by our side when we need it most.
The Zhentarim don't like to be in anyone's debt - it's bad for business. For helping them, we are sure to have their blades on our side, should it come to protecting the city. It's their new home, after all.
Nine-Fingers is grateful that we helped her retain control of the Guild - she's not one to give away what's hers. We can count on her and her Lady's Court in the final battle.
Mol isn't one to forget those who have helped her along the way. She'll have our back in the fight to come.

Quest Complete
The allies we've made on our journey have all gathered together - ready to lend us their power in the battle ahead. It is time to finish this - once and for all.
Walkthrough
Some objectives for this quest are mutually exclusive. For example, siding with Nine-Fingers Keene during Aid the Underduke will lock the party out of being able to ally with the Zhentarim in the same playthrough. All companions must be recruited in Act One and their personal story quests must be resolved for their objectives to be completed in Gather Your Allies.
To recruit Auntie Ethel the following conditions must be met:
Complete Get Help from Auntie Ethel and following part of the Save Mayrina questline. After fighting Auntie Ethel and reducing her health a sufficient amount, Ethel tries to make a deal for a permanent stat boost in exchange for keeping Mayrina, leaving their deal intact.
If the party killed Ethel, they can still work with her by finding her disguised as Captain Grisly during Save Vanra. If the party kills Lora, then Ethel is willing to strike a deal with them, even if they killed her previously, as she is so amused by the turn of events.
Veil of the Weird:Channel Auntie Ethel's magic to render 5 creatures within range Invisible.
In Act Three, complete Deal with the Gnomes, Avenge the Ironhands, and Save the Gondians with the Gondian's families saved. After Wulbren confronts the Gondians, the party must advocate for the Gondians and Ironhand Gnomes to work together, with Barcus as their leader.
To recruit Ulder Ravengard the following conditions must be met:
In Act Three, find the Duke alive at the end of Rescue the Grand Duke. This can be achieved by Wyll remaining in a pact with Mizora in exchange for the Duke's location, or simply by rescuing the Duke in the Iron Throne prison during the Save the Gondians quest. If Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, he needs to be protected from explosive spiders in addition to the sahuagin on the exploding prison, you can heal the duke before the spiders appear and when they appear use Dimension Door to get him next to the exit.
RalliedGalvanising word and will of Duke Ravengard runs hot through your veins - gain 30 temporary hit points.
In Act One, Save the Refugees must be completed by rescuing the Tieflings and stopping the ritual in the Grove. After this Halsin comes with the party to the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
To recruit Jaheira and the Harpers the following conditions must be met:
In Act Three, complete The High Harper with Minsc left alive. After Minsc is tracked down, he must be defeated with a non-lethal strike, given protection by the Astral Prism, and shown that the real Jaheira is alive. After this, Minsc joins the party as a companion and Jaheira counts herself as a loyal ally to the party.
As long as you progress Help Kith'rak Voss to the point where he asks for you to retrieve the Orphic Hammer, you can still recruit him even if you do not free Orpheus. To do so, you need to succeed on a DC 30 Persuasioncheck or DC 30 Deceptioncheck when he confronts you at the start of the final conflict. If your main character is a Mind Flayer, then an additional DC 25 Persuasioncheck or DC 25 Intimidationcheck must be succeeded before the above ability checks.
Kith'raki InfernoCommand the red dragon of Supreme Kith'rak Voss to breathe a wall of fire onto the battlefield. 12d6 Fire dmg.
To recruit the Kuo-toa the following conditions must be met:
In Act One, investigate and reveal BOOOAL as a fake god, using Investigation and Performance checks.
If done right, only BOOOAL and the party will enter combat, after which you can kill him and Pooldripp will name you 'Mahkloompah'. Then you must command Pooldripp to go out and "build [you] an army".
Kuo-Toa AcolytesCall the fishfolk faithful from the Underdark to fight for their god - you.
In Act Three, the party must speak with Mizora at Wyrm's Rock as part of The Grand Duke. She will then appear at the campsite during the next long rest, and will remain there for the rest of the game. Speaking to her and choosing "If you're going to be staying, I need something in return." results in Mizora stating that she wishes to take revenge on the Absolute after being kidnapped. Thus she agrees to help the party in the final fight. She only shows up if also keeping Wyll's pact intact. If breaking the pact, the dialogue will appear, but she will not join the party for the final fight.
To recruit Mol the following conditions must be met:
In Act One, complete Save the Refugees by siding with the Tieflings.
In Act Three, find Mol in the Guildhall and learn about her contract with Raphael. If her contract is stolen from the House of Hope, she agrees to help in the final fight. If Raphael is killed, the contract can be still given to Mol, but Raphael's death cannot be mentioned, and a successful Persuasion Check must be passed.
Note: As a Warlock, a Warlock specific dialogue choice will be in place of the skill check.
In Act Three, during Aid the Underduke, the Guild is invaded by the Zhentarim, who seek to overthrow them and take control over Baldur's Gate's criminal underbelly. Side with the the Guild and keep Nine-Fingers Keene alive.
To recruit Ulma and the Gur the following conditions must be met:
In Act Three, complete Investigate Cazador's Palace by defeating Cazador and stopping the Black Mass ritual. The Gur are grateful and agree to help during the final fight.
In Act Three, complete Investigate the House of Grief and Surrender Shadowheart to Viconia by betraying Shadowheart and turning her over to Viconia. If Shadowheart left the party in Act Two after the Gauntlet of Shar, several checks can be passed to get Viconia on the party's side if telling her Shadowheart is already dead.
During Act Three, Volo is encountered again near the Steel Watch Foundry in the Lower City, tied to a chair in front of several Smokepowder barrels. After battling Volo's captors and saving him before the barrels explode, he will join your camp.
He can be convinced to fight against Raphael with a persuasion check of 30, if the party killed him during Kill Raphael's Old Enemy. If he is persuaded and Raphael is defeated, then he will agree to help in the final fight.
After completing Free Orpheus, the final battle begins to Confront the Elder Brain. The player character receives the special skill Gather Your Allies (class action) which summons friendly units in combat based on the characters who have been recruited. The recruited characters also appear in a room in the High Hall, where they give a short dialogue line of support.
