Baldur's Gate 3: Withers Can't Fix Everything, Making Permanent Buffs Disappear After Death

The Third Resurrection Mechanic at Baldur's Gate may be frustrating.

Though Baldur's Gate 3 can be a difficult game, fortunately there are ways to revive characters following their combat deaths. Players can resurrect their party members, so enabling them to carry on their journey even following challenging encounters, much as in the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons. Nonetheless, there is a drawback. For players who like to use this mechanic a lot, one of the resurrection side effects can be rather bothersome.

A death of a character can cause permanent buffs to fade.

There are several ways to make your Baldur's Gate 3 characters more powerful. Finding Permanent Buffs is among the best approaches. Reading books, chatting with NPC, and engaging in other activities will help you to attract these buffs. These aficionados can be quite helpful all around the game and improve your character considerably at some tasks.

The bad news is that these fans might vanish upon a character's passing. Though players can bring their characters back to life, their Permanent Buffs might not return with them. This can be aggravating since it seems as though all the advancement you accomplished is being lost.

Withers Is Not Perfect Everywhere

Mysterious Withers is able to bring dead friends back to life. Without looking for their souls, he is quite strong and can revitalize your party. Withers has limits, though as well. He cannot bring back die-hard permanent fans lost.

What Actions Can Players Take?

What therefore can players do? They can always reload a save and try again to prevent the circumstances whereby they lose a permanent buff. Alternatively, they might aim to be especially cautious and prevent first-hand death of their characters.

This mechanism reminds us ultimately that death in Baldur's Gate 3 is a real event. It's a means to give the game more difficulty and honor players that play deliberately.
