Reviving characters in Baldur’s Gate III is crucial for maintaining a strong party. This guide will walk you through the steps to revive your party members, whether they're incapacitated or completely deceased. We'll cover various methods, ensuring you're well-prepared even if you're short on revival items. Read on for detailed tips and tricks.
Helping a Downed Party Member
In Baldur’s Gate III, characters can find themselves in two states of distress: incapacitated or completely deceased. The approach to each differs significantly. If you're in the midst of combat and one of your characters or companions is downed (but not dead), they'll need to make several saving throws to stabilize. Before they fail three times or suffer additional enemy attacks, you can use the Help action.
- Locate the brown action button, situated to the left of your portrait at the bottom center of the screen.
- This button depicts one hand reaching out to another, symbolizing assistance.
- Use this action during or after a battle to revive a downed party member. They'll regain consciousness with only 1 health point. Be cautious when reviving during a fight, as they can quickly become incapacitated again.
Reviving a Dead Party Member
If a character or companion has met an unfortunate end and can't be revived through normal means, there are specific steps to follow. You can use a Scroll of Revivify on their lifeless body, which will bring them back with just 1 health point. As before, exercise caution if reviving during a battle, as they may face immediate danger. Note that there's an exception for the companion Gale, whose revival process is tied to his personal quest.
An alternative method for reviving characters involves the chapel at the beginning of Baldur’s Gate III. Within the chapel, where you initially encountered Shadowheart, there's an individual deep within the ruins who can offer their assistance. For more details, refer to the spoiler tag below.
Withers can be found on the northern side of your campsite. They offer to revive deceased characters for a fee of 200 gold. See the accompanying screenshot for reference.
In summary, reviving characters in Baldur's Gate III is a vital skill for any adventurer. Whether your party members are merely downed or have met their demise, knowing how to bring them back into the fray is essential. With multiple methods at your disposal, including using the Help action, Scrolls of Revivify, and assistance from unique characters like the Hooded Skeleton, you can ensure your party stays strong and ready to face the challenges of the world. So, go forth, brave souls, and keep your companions alive as you unravel the mysteries of Baldur's Gate III. Happy adventuring!
