Companions cannot be summoned in PvP areas, solo arenas or in housing instances. Players will always take priority and Companions will be auto-dismissed as players zone in.
In population-limited instances such as dungeons, group arenas and trials, each Companion present counts toward the population cap as if they were a player. Summoning a Companion takes several seconds for them to appear, during which no other Companion or Assistant may be summoned. CompanionĪ player may have only one Companion or Assistant active at a time summoning a Companion will also unsummon any active Assistant and vice versa.
Once the first quest is completed, that Companion collectible will be added to your account, but may only be summoned when logged in as a character who has completed the quest - other characters attempting to use the collectible will be given the quest instead. If you have access to the respective chapter or DLC (except if you only have access due to an ESO Plus free trial), you can meet a Companion during the first quest of their questline. 6 Responsiveness and Miscellaneous Items.
