In the Blackwood chapter of ESO, the new companion system is very popular, it can give you a permanent follower to assist your adventure. For some new players, IGGM will make a detailed introduction so that they can immerse themselves in the game more quickly.

How to recruit Companions?

Only two companions are currently available, but we can expect to get more in the future.

Mirri Elendis

You can find this dark elf nightblade near Doomvault Vulpinaz in the north of Blackwood. Go to that place, look around for a note, and you will begin the quest of Shattered and Scattered. This will allow you to help Mirri rescue her kidnapped crew. Upon successful completion of the quest, Mirri will follow you on adventures.

Bastian Hallix

You can find this imperial dragonknight in Deepscorn Hollow. It is located southeast of Leyawiin, not far from the shore. Upon arrival, you will find Bastian tied up in a cave. All you have to do is talk to him and start the Competition and Contracts quest. He will ask you to help investigate other parts of Deepscorn Hollow, once you clear the trouble in the depths, he will become your loyal companion.

How do you spec them out in combat?

Although they are not the main source of DPS, they are more capable than tanks or healers. Because your companions will trigger skills in a certain order, you need to plan the specific positions of the skills. If you want to use the healing skill frequently, then you need to put it in the front slot.

* You can direct Companions in combat by pressing the L3 + R3 buttons and Left or Right Bumper or pressing Y on PC.

* If you perform a heavy attack on a target, your Companion will automatically change their focus.

* Companions will trigger their Ultimate Ability automatically, but you can also force its use by pressing L3 + R3 or clicking the Icon on PC.

* Companions can be revived with a Soul Gem, but they will also revive at the end of combat.

How to level up companions?

They will eventually reach the maximum at level 20, improve their HP and combat power, and learn new skills and abilities. There are several different styles of companion skills, including:

* Weapon Skills: Require specific weapons to use.

* Armor Skills: Require specific armor to use.

* Guild Skills: Level up by completing certain daily quests for your current Companion.

* Racial Skills: Applied based on the race of your Companion.

* Class Skills: Level up automatically based on the level of your Companion.
