How to revive characters in Baldur’s Gate 3

There are a few different ways for players to revive characters in Baldur’s Gate 3, and we’ve detailed them below.

Use a Scroll of Revivify

One way to bring a character back to life in Baldur’s Gate 3 is by using a Scroll of Revivify. These are single-use consumable items that happen to be quite expensive, so be smart when using them.

1. Open your inventory.
2. Search for the Scroll of Revivify.
3. Select and use the item as you would do with any other item.
4. When the AoE appears on the screen, select the fallen teammate you want to resurrect.

Any character in the game can use the scroll during battle, as long as they have it in their inventory. Once it’s used, the fallen member will rejoin the party immediately.

A Scroll of Revivify can be found during the “Escape the Nautiloid” quest during the Baldur’s Gate 3 prologue. In case players want to add more to their inventory, they can buy them from different merchants like Roah Moonglow (Shattered Sanctum), Arron (The Hollow), and Cyrel (The Risen Road).

Learn the Revivify Spell

In case you don’t have extra money to spend on the Scroll of Revivify, you can also learn the Revivify Spell. However, you need to meet some requirements first.

• Be a Cleric (Life, Light, and Trickery domains) or a Paladin.
• Reach level 5.
• A level 3 spell slot.

Speak to the Hooded Skeleton

Another way you can revive characters in the game is through the Hooded Skeleton. However, before this option becomes available, you’ll need to free him in the ‘Overgrown Ruins’ quest and then he’ll join your camp. Follow the steps below to revive a character via the Talkative Skeleton:

1. If a character has died in battle, wait until the battle is over and then fast-travel to your camp.
2. Talk to the Hooded Skeleton by the beach.
3. He’ll offer to revive any character in exchange for 200 gold.
4. Once the transaction has been made, your ally will be fully revived and respawn at camp ready to go out on another quest!
