Players will encounter multiple instances in Baldur's Gate 3 where their allies will be incapacitated and require revival. It is crucial to revive them in order to continue the fight, as unlike other games, players cannot restart a checkpoint until the entire party is eliminated. However, a significant number of players lack knowledge on how to revive characters in Baldur's Gate 3. Luckily, this guide will provide step-by-step instructions on reviving characters, along with other useful information.
How to Revive Characters in Baldur’s Gate 3
Players can revive characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 in one of four ways:
1. Saving Throws
When a character's HP reaches zero, they do not immediately perish. Instead, the game initiates a process known as rolling saving throws, in which a 20-sided die is automatically rolled. This process determines whether the character will be revived or meet their demise.
Once the rolling saving throws begin, a life and death counter will be displayed. If the roll results in a value of ten or below, the player will receive a death counter. Conversely, if the roll exceeds ten, the player will be granted a stability counter. If the game successfully rolls three times, the character will be revived with a certain amount of HP. However, if the game fails to achieve this, the character will ultimately perish.
2. Scroll of Revivify
Players can use a Scroll of Revivify to return the character’s soul to their body. Every character starts with this item and is available for use in the inventory.
To use a Scroll of Revivify, follow these steps:
Select the scroll.
Click to cast the scroll.
Click on the dead character to revive them.
3. Pay Withers
Players can revive characters by visiting Withers at the Dank Crypt. Withers is an undead NPC that can revive dead characters in exchange for 200 gold coins.
4. Cast Revivify
Wizard players and players with a Wizard in their team have the ability to cast Revivify. This spell, which is identical to the Scroll of Revivify, allows players to revive characters. However, in order to learn this third-level spell, players must first reach a certain level. Once learned, players no longer require a Scroll of Revivify to perform revivals.

Please keep in mind that using Revivify will consume a valuable third-level spell slot that could have been utilized for other spells. With this in mind, it is advisable for players to only resort to this spell as a final attempt and subsequently take a significant pause until the spell slot is replenished.
