When learning a new game, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes, there’s a mechanic we just can’t quite figure out. In the PS5 version of Baldur’s Gate 3, one of the less intuitive features of the game is how to split and regroup your party without talking to each individual party member.
While splitting the party is notoriously a risky move in any game of D&D, there may be occasions where it’s useful to divide and conquer. For example, if you want to find out what happens if you let True Soul Gut extract your tadpole, which she insists you only do without the rest of the party looking on. But, how do you separate members of the party? And, once you have, how do you put them back together again?

How to Regroup Your Party from the Character Menu
Ready to regroup? When you’re ready to bring everyone back together, you can regroup the party by opening the character menu using the L2 button. From here, select the character(s) that you split off from the party. Then, press the square button, which is labeled “regroup” at the bottom of the screen.

Select all the characters you want to link back together, then click on the party members you want to group them with.
The final step here is to make sure you hit the square button again to regroup the players. You will see the subtle extra space between the ungrouped characters shrink, and your
