Are you on a quest to find Withers in Baldur’s Gate 3? This mysterious skeletal corpse plays a significant role in the Explore The Ruins quest during Act 1 Chapter One of your adventure. However, locating him can be quite challenging as it involves navigating through a trap-infested crypt and relying on keen perception. Fortunately, we’re here to guide you through the dangers and help you find Withers without a hitch.

Although Withers cannot be recruited as a companion in Baldur’s Gate 3, he becomes an integral part of your camp. Before embarking on your journey to find Withers, we recommend ensuring that your party members have leveled up sufficiently to face the dangers of the crypt and survive. It may also be beneficial to have a member skilled in lockpicking, like a Rogue such as Astarion, to make your exploration easier. Now, let’s dive into how to locate Withers in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Guide to Finding Withers in Baldur’s Gate 3

To locate Withers in BG3, you need to head to the Richly Adorned Sarcophagus hidden in a secret area of the Dank Crypt, which can be found inside the chapel near the Overgrown Ruins.

• Jump into the hole inside the chapel north of the Overgrown Ruins and east of the Roadside Cliffs.
• Exit the room and turn left, passing the locked door and entering the room with the giant stone statue.
• Use your keen perception to discover a button at the back wall behind the statue. Press it to unlock the previously inaccessible door.
• Go through the door to enter the Dank Crypt.
• Upon entering the Dank Crypt, turn right and open the large set of double doors.
• Send one party member to loot the Richly Adorned Sarcophagus, and then make your way back. Be careful as the floor is covered in grease, and being hit by fireballs will ignite it, so plan your movements accordingly.
• Open the other set of double doors to find a statue.
• Proceed past the statue and to the left to reach the cloister. Push the skull in the cloister to revive the local acolytes.
• Examine the Richly Adorned Sarcophagus to revive Withers.
• During your conversation with Withers, choose the following dialogue options:
  • “Quite the question. What’s the reason for it?”
  • “Yes. Ask away.”
  • “No one life is worth more than any other. We are all equal.”
• Once you have satisfied Withers with your answers, he will leave the Dank Crypt. The next time you skip a night at camp, Withers will arrive north of the camp in the morning.

Following this guide, you will successfully find Withers in Baldur’s Gate 3 and progress further in your adventure. Good luck!
