Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 is a huge RPG packed full of companions to meet, enemies to battle, and quests to go on. With an array of classes to choose from, there are a lot of build options available to players and you might want to mix things up by respecing.

If you respec a character in the game you’ll be able to adjust your abilities and reset your skill points to try different kinds of playstyles out. So, here’s exactly how you can respec in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How to respec your character in Baldur’s Gate 3

In order to respec in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll have to meet the NPC Withers, who is an undead skeletal figure found in the Dark Crypt.

To do this, simply follow the steps below:

1. After your character wakes up on the beach during the first act of the game, you can find a set of double doors next to the Overgrown Ruins waypoint.
2. Enter the doors by either lockpicking or by scaling the top of the cliff to reach an alternative entrance – be wary of bandits if you do this!
3. Once inside the Dark Crypt, you’ll find an ornate sarcophagus that you can open to make Withers appear.
4. After some brief dialogue, Withers will head back to your camp.
5. Go to your camp and speak to Withers, and he’ll offer to respec any of your characters for a price of 100 gold.

Is there a limit to how many times you can respec in Baldur’s Gate 3?

BG3 players will be happy to know that there is no limit to how often you can respec characters.

Once you’ve made Withers appear he’ll remain at your camp for the rest of the game, and you’ll have the option to respec any of your characters whenever you want, as long as you’ve got enough funds to cover the cost.
