Withers is a mysterious undead entity. He offers resurrection services to the party and can allow characters to respec their character builds. He can also become a Camp Follower.
Chapter One
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Withers is first encountered in the Dank Crypt. He is resting inside a sarcophagus within the hidden room. Open the Richly Adorned Sarcophagus to free him. He will ask a question and then leave.
Later, Withers will appear at the Campsite and join as a Camp Follower.
Chapter Three
A journal found in the Grand Mausoleum in Baldur's Gate records a meeting between a priest and who they identify as Jergal, the god themself. The journal relates that the priest "came face to face with him: Masked in gold, his skin fine and worn as parchment. Jergal, the death-keeper, the End of Everything. I asked what he needed of me. He asked a simple question: 'What is the worth of a single mortal's life?' ".
This is the same question asked of the player by Wither's when roused from his sarcophagus in chapter one.
Services
- Withers will resurrect dead Companions for a small gold fee. Notably, he is also a trader and sells File:Scroll of revivify scrolls baldursgate3 wiki guide 64px.png Scroll of Revivify.
- Withers is able to resurrect Hirelings to your service. Speaking through them, Hirelings are recruitable characters that can be added to aid your party - unlike Companions, Hirelings do not have related quests or interactions.
- Withers can respec a character. This allows that character to make all of their character build choices over again, including class or classes, subclasses, spells, ability scores, etc. However, he doesn't allow a character to change their race, appearance, origin, or background.
- Withers will not respec a character if they are an Oathbreaker Paladin.
Trivia
- As of Early Access, Withers cannot be damaged.
- It is heavily implied that Withers is either an avatar of Jergal. He is found in the Temple of Jergal and scribes bear Jergal's insignia. In Withers' official concept art he is referred to as Jergal. In the after credits scene Withers is talking about how he disappointed he is in the Dead Three and how he overestimated them.
