Of all the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, Halsin is somewhat controversial. While the lovable druid is a powerful ally in certain battles, his story has left some players underwhelmed. Given that players can recruit other druids like Alfira, some argue these NPCs might make better companions. These factors may contribute to the scarcity of Halsin cosplays.
However, Reddit user dishycrafts proudly shared their detailed Halsin cosplay, perfectly recreating his default outfit (in his elf form). The druid’s leafy pauldrons are incredibly detailed in dishycrafts’s take, as is the intricate leatherwork of Halsin’s outfit. The user paid special attention to the different textures in the companion’s garb, matching it closely and almost achieving a one-to-one recreation.
While accuracy is often a priority in cosplays online, presentation also matters — and this Halsin cosplay is a great example. Responding to a comment praising the attention to “such details” as Halsin’s towering height, dishycrafts confessed it was a camera trick, humorously adding, “I’m 5ft4.” Though the user only shared a single image of the cosplay, they mentioned it would be their entry for the Tournament of Champions preliminary, suggesting more shots of this look may be on the way.

Even before Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, Halsin’s bear form went viral, particularly for its inclusion in romance scenes. The former archdruid is one of the more romantically open partners players can pursue, being open to sharing and not getting territorial if the player explores other romantic options while pursuing him. He even offers to join in should the primary partner agree.
When Halsin spends the night with Tav for the first time, he transforms into his wildshape and offers to keep it through their encounter. Players can reject this (convincing him to revert to his elf form), but his wildshape has earned him notoriety among players. Consequently, cosplays of elf Halsin are rare. While his beefy form may be attractive, fans often prefer to joke about his bear form.
Despite the impressed reactions, some users admitted disappointment that the cosplay was of Halsin’s elf form. “Cool cosplay but I’m a little disappointed it wasn’t just a picture of a bear to troll people lol,” commented user Fungidude. “I was expecting a cheap bear costume, but this is good too,” replied user AlienWarhead. If dishycrafts’s cosplay proves nothing else, it’s that there are still some Baldur’s Gate 3 players who will pick Halsin over the bear.
