Say hello to Greedfall 2: The Dying World's Companions

Having been in early access since September 2024, Greedfall 2: The Dying World finally released in 1.0 on March 12, 2026. The game has come a long way since the EA launch, but we still have to wait and see how well the developer Spiders handled Greed 2s biggest criticisms, such as its general lack of polish and controversial changes to the first game's combat system.

A thing that many who have played Greed 2 seems to agree on, however, is that its world and characters have a lot of promise. Inspired by the Age of Exploration – a period of European history that saw, among other things, mass colonization and the “discovery” of the Americas –Greed 2s setting is quite unique for an epic fantasy RPG. The game's mix of high-fantasy world-building and real historical inspiration makes for some interesting scenarios and equally interesting character dynamics, which promise to be on full display via Greed 2s crew of companions.

Nilan, the friend

Another childhood friend Greed 2 the protagonist Vrider Gerr, Nilan has something of a stubborn and isolationist disposition. He is generally hostile to outsiders and tends to blame all foreigners on Teer Fradee for the ills that have befallen its people. Like the main character, Nilan is on the way to becoming a Doneigad, although he believes that the sacred wisdom of Teer Fradee should be kept from outsiders.

Rearrange the cases in the correct US release order.

Light (5)Medium (7)Hard (10)

Nilan is a ranged specialist who starts the game with a bow and arrow as his primary weapon. Due to his deep spiritualism and connection to the land of Teer Fradee, he is also a competent magic user, able to imbue some of his shots with magical damage and use support spells on allies.

Fausta, the spy

Fausta is a sly and mysterious party member that the player will encounter within Greed 2first hours. Exiled from the magical and spiritual aristocratic society of Theleme for unclear reasons, she is acting as a spy in Olima at the time the player first meets her. Agile, guarded and strategic, Fausta can charm and manipulate those around her with a silver tongue and friendly demeanor.

She is a magic user who focuses primarily on ranged attacks used without tools such as wands, wands, and the like. Given Theleme's penchant for light magic and diligent fidelity, this is hardly a surprise.

Sybille, the politician

The twisted Gerr meets Fausta while locked up in an Olima prison, and Sybille comes along to break them out. As part of the wily and conspiratorial De Vespe family, her entire identity and personality is defined by political skill and clever scheming. Of course, this adds a layer of uncertainty to many of her involvements with the main character, with Sybille's own voice actor stating that she is unpredictable. Like Nilan, she is also distrustful and skeptical – important qualities in her family business.

Armed with a pair of daggers, Sybille assumes something of a villain class archetype from the start. Her fighting style seems to be a reflection of her personality: sneaky, stealthy and always one step ahead.

Alvida, the pure-hearted sailor

Alvida is a close friend of Sybille, whom she met during her adventures as Naut: Greed 2's Nauts Guild is home to the world's most famous sailors, who are the only ones with the knowledge required to sail the game's seas. As such, they are known for their bravery, wisdom, and well-guarded adventuring skills: strong traits in an RPG companion, that's for sure. Despite her connection to the Nauts and her adherence to certain aspects of their culture, Alvida is strongly anti-authority and ultimately guided by her own moral compass – this is what ends up aligning her with Vriden Gerr. She gets up close in combat and fights with a classic saber.

Ludwig, the ex-soldier

As Greed 2s other main characters, Ludwig lives by his own code. A soldier turned smuggler, he despises the rich and corrupt and has a strong sense of justice, although his own moral code is somewhat flexible. In fact, he seems to have a good deal of disdain for the concept of heroes and social acceptance in general, only caring about his main prerogative, which is the protection of the world's poor and the ongoing opposition to the wealthy elite.

Although he has renounced his military life at that time Greed 2The story begins, Ludwig's martial training has been well retained. Another melee fighter, he starts the game with a trusty ax and is skilled with melee weapons.

Safia, the wise adventurer

The oldest of Greed 2 companion, Safia is wise and withered, often caught chastising more youthful characters for their lack of honor or consideration. But make no mistake, she is no frivolous buddy: Safia is an experienced explorer and cartographer who maintains a strong opposition to the imperial powers of Greed 2s world. This worldly experience and harsh values make Safia one of the more intellectually and psychologically tough in the group.

Another ranged fighter, Safia prefers firearms and joins the party brandishing a rusty rifle. She can also unlock support skills.

To, the noble leader

Till is captain of the Coin Guard, a huge mercenary guild. Fiercely loyal, protective and honor-bound, he is a faithful companion with a heart of gold. In fact, although he projects a gruff demeanor, Till hides a sensitive side, and his intelligence and cunning cannot be overlooked either. He wields a two-handed sword, making him a strong Tank-type character.
