There are going to be many people you recruit during your adventure in Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord.

How to Dismiss Companions in Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord

1. Open the Clan menu (the button with a lion head in the bottom left).
2. Select the companion you want to dismiss.
3. Under their name, you will see an option to “Start a conversation with a clan member.” It looks like a little dialogue button, right next to the role of the companion. Press it.
4. Select the “About your position in the clan…” dialogue option.
5. Choose the “I no longer have need of your services” option and then choose any reason to get rid of them.

If you don’t see the “I no longer have need of your services” option, it is not a bug, it is just something that you did. You will need to leave any city or settlement that you are in before attempting to dismiss a companion.

Also, make sure you get their belongings before they leave since you won’t have another chance to get them back from them. You can also sell all of their stuff either way.

And that is all you need to know about how to dismiss a companion in Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. Check out other interesting guides and articles:
