Withers Not In Sarcophagus (2024)

FAQs

What happens if you miss Withers BG3? ›

However, it isn't necessary to find him and open his sarcophagus in order to have him arrive at camp. If the party doesn't come across Withers in the Dank Crypt, then it's a matter of time until he shows up at camp anyway with an exclamation point over his head to explain the services he offers.

After you get in, be wary of traps (see How to Disarm Traps) , and at the very end of the ruins north find a button on a wall that will unlock the room with the sarcophagus that holds the mysterious undead, Withers, - and a group of skeletons. Defeat them and release Withers.

The easiest way is to simply wait until he comes to the player camp himself. This will usually happen after the player has made some progress in the main story. When he spawns there, all the player has to do is talk to him and he will make himself available, in exchange for gold.

Notes. Withers puts the gold he receives for his services into a pickpocketable inventory, so it's possible to steal back any money paid. Withers will not react to failed pickpocketing, allowing unlimited attempts. In Early Access he was initially called The Hooded Skeleton even though he had no visible hood.

Letting Astarion bite you is an easy way to get approval with him. The simple answer is yes, as the only downside is gaining the Bloodless debuff, while Astarion gains the Happy buff and his approval rating of you increases.

Withers is likely the god Jergal, found inside a temple dedicated to him and possessing the ability to bring the dead back to life. Withers opposes the Dead Three and empowers the party to ensure the plot of the Absolute fails without directly interfering in mortal matters.

Unlike companions, hirelings don't have their own storylines or interesting backgrounds and you can't romance them - instead, they just exist you can round out your party with any missing skills or abilities. You can always summon a hireling to use a specific skill then leave them right back at camp.

Why is the Wither not spawning? The Wither structure requires open space to spawn the Wither. So, make sure that it's not being blocked by other solid or non-solid blocks on its side or top.

Despite his general moodiness with tagging along for the journey, he is a very welcome presence especially when players inevitably get many bad rolls for actions during combat.

Once you take a long rest, your party will retire to their wilderness camp. After you free him, Withers will then appear at your camp whenever you take a long rest. Speak to him and he will be equally cryptic about his true motives and methods, but he will also offer a valuable service.

What happens if you don't find withers? ›

If you fail to get Withers at this point, he will show up to your camp randomly seeking to join you. But choosing to get him right away is smart, as he's quite useful.

He is here to assist the party because that is his divine oath, not out of any true desire to act. Players can attempt to goad or attack him, but to minimal effect, as he is functionally immortal. His only goal was to see their faces, so he can find them at camp later to offer further assistance.

What happens if you Attack Withers? Withers will not respond with hostility and you cannot engage in a combat with him. He will still meet you at the camp and provide you with his services including respeccing capabilities and will continue to provide you with Hirelings.
