Maia can help you recruit Emini

Might be nice to include what classes those companions and sidekicks can be picked as.

Might also be worth including:
If you finish the quest "Stranded" before recruiting Xoti, she will move from Port Maje to the Temple of Gaun in the Sacred Stair district in Neketaka. She can still be recruited there.

There's a Xaurip you can recruit on the first island you can name (with the Tuk-Tuk cave). Mother something is her name. She'll join your crew.

You don't have to complete any quests to recruit Aloth. He's avaliable righ after vault's door interaction.

Serafen joins your crew right after fixing the ship, thus triggering optional sidequest.

Pallegina have two options, depending on your decicions on PoE1. If she's banished, the only way to recruit her is to visit VTC office.

You'll find the fourth and final sidekick in a floatsom event at the eastern edge of the map. Sail all the way east from Neketaka, look slightly north from there.
