With the Relics of the Old Gods update, we received a large crop of new content, including the ability to explore what happens to a certain pair of characters after the end of the main story.
Aym and Baal serve as two ofThe One Who Waits' henchmen and are fought as part of the final boss. With the update, however, you are able not only to recruit them as followers but to reunite them with their mother, earning yourself an achievement.

Once you have one of these necklaces, the next step is togift this necklace to one of your followers. This follower will be ‘traded’ for the special followers.
It is important to note that when you recruit Aym and Baal, they willtake on the traits and age of the follower you usedto acquire them. This means that if you wish to keep them around, ensure you use a follower with good traits who isn’t too old.
Once you have afollower wearing either the Light Necklace or the Dark Necklace, you mustsacrifice them using theSacrifice of the Flesh Ritual. During the ritual, the follower will be traded for either Aym or Baal, depending on the necklace.
After you’ve recruited them both, you’ll get some special dialogue withThe One Who Waits, if he’s still around.
