Wondering how old Jaheira is in Baldur’s Gate 3? Considering that the events of the original Baldur’s Gate game took place over a century ago, players were surprised to spot Jaheira returning in BG3.

She’s one of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 companions across both combat and other environmental tasks. With both Fighter and Druid traits, she’s pretty powerful compared to Karlach and Minsc. If you aren’t happy with her stats, here’s how to multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3.

What is Jaheira’s age in BG3

Jaheira is about 150 years old in Baldur’s Gate 3. As a Half-Elf, her lifespan is far longer than most humans. This accounts for her appearance in BG3 despite being a part of the earlier games. Note that this aging could also be a reason why Jaheira isn’t overpowered by now.

Considering that she’s one of the Harpers and is acquainted with wizards like Elminster, it wouldn’t be a stretch for her to have access to potions and spells that slow aging. Some fans also take into consideration the Timeless Body mechanic for level 18 Druids from the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons to slow her aging process. After all, a fragile old hag isn’t going to stand against some of Faerun’s most powerful enemies. Despite that, she’s a formidable ally in combat thanks to her Druid powers.

You can find her at the Last Light Inn in Baldur’s Gate 3 before the assault on Moonrise Towers. It’s in the Shadow-cursed lands accessible in Act 2 of the game. Don’t expect to romance her though. Jaheira is one of the companions in the game that you cannot romance. But you can still improve her approval by making the right choices in the game. Her companion quest is called the High Harper. Since she has a Soldier background, combat lets her gain Inspiration points for dice rerolls.

That covers how old Jaheira is in Baldur’s Gate 3. Here are all the Baldur’s Gate 3 Acts if you’re wondering where the D&D adventure will take you. And here’s a powerful Druid build guide in Baldur’s Gate 3 to make the most of this powerful companion in the Forgotten Realms.
