In Baldur’s Gate 3, death is not the end at all, and understanding how to cheat and even reverse it is critical to the success of your heroic journey to Baldur’s Gate.
Just imagine: you live in peace, travel the world and fight evil for a good cause, and then you suddenly get a knife in the back, and everything just ends. This is a real tragedy and your friends and allies will surely miss you. Moreover, it is not advisable to carry the equipment of a fallen comrade with you, not to mention his lifeless body.
Unfortunately, the respawn mechanic in Baldur’s Gate 3 is not that obvious, and many have to replay long and grueling turn-based battles in order not to lose one of the important characters forever. Therefore, it will be useful for most players to know that there are several easier ways to return to life after an unsuccessful battle.
How to revive allies in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Let’s assume that your friend or colleague has taken his last breath. What can be done in such a situation? Well, you have several options:
- Revive with magic
- Revive with a scroll;
- Use the services of the Withered One;
- Give up and load the previous save.
Revival through magic
This option will not be available immediately. Rebirth is a powerful spell in the Baldur’s Gate universe, so don’t expect Shadowheart or any other Priest to be able to wield it in the early stages of leveling. The ability to bring an ally to life simply by saying a couple of magic words will only appear after the healer from your squad reaches level 5. However, be prepared for the fact that the character will resurrect with 1 health unit.
Resurrection with a Scroll
Of course, the “Rebirth Scrolls” will not be lying around at every turn, but they can be purchased from merchants. In any case, they are exceptionally valuable, as they allow almost any character to use the aforementioned resurrection magic, but only once. This is a consumable item, so you will have to make a difficult choice if you have only one scroll left, and there are several defeated comrades on the battlefield at once.
Fortunately, Scrolls of Revival are available from the very beginning of the game, since each character has them in their inventory, so if you die in battles too often, it makes sense to be friendly with strangers in order to be able to invite as many allies as possible to your squad .
Withered Services
Withered can be found at the very beginning of your journey, but it is also easy to miss it and thereby deprive yourself of the most convenient way to return to life in the early stages of the game.
In the starting location near the crash site of the Nautiloid, there are the ruins of an ancient temple where the robbers settled. If you manage to deal with all the enemies and decide to explore the ruins, you will stumble upon a tomb infested with the undead. After you deal with another threat, you will find a sarcophagus. Opening it you will meet with another revived corpse, suddenly expressing a desire to communicate.
If you can convince the Withered One to join your mission, then upon returning to the camp you will meet him again. Subsequently, he will travel with you, but only as a permanent resident of the camp, and will be able to resurrect your comrades for 200 gold. This is not cheap, but if you do not have other means for revival, and there is money, then resorting to his services will be the best solution.
Also, for 100 coins, he will be able to change the class and abilities of the character.
Load an early save
Finally, the most proven and well-known way to cheat death for all gamers is to reboot and thereby turn back time, since in Baldur’s Gate 3 you can save even during a duel.
Reverting to an earlier save will also help you avoid wasting resources on a costly respawn, and avoid losses altogether by being able to use the experience of the previous battle to win the next one. Think about what is more important to you: time and nerves or money obtained by blood and sweat and precious scrolls?
