How to recruit Survivor companion in Nightingale

If you want to recruit a Survivor as your companion in Nightingale, you must speak with them and wait until they give you an objective that you need to complete.

Once you finish this task, the Survivor will join you, accompanying you on your explorations of the Realm, and you can take full control of their inventory. This means you can take whatever you want and give them what you consider appropriate.

However, it’s worth noting that objectives vary depending on the NPCs. So, they are unlikely to give you two identical tasks when recruiting Survivors in Nightingale.

Finally, if you want to remove the Survivor from the party, you must speak with them again and that will make the NPC no longer follow you.
