How soon can you get Karlach in BG3?

▶

You can recruit Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3 as soon as you land on the ground after completing the Nautiloid tutorial sequence, by heading to the northern side of the map to the coordinates of X: 112, Y: 511, where she is waiting near the Risen Road. The fiery Karlach can be found in this location, and if you’ve already recruited Wyll, his Companion Quest will lead you right to her, allowing you to add her to your party early on in the game.
