How to revive characters in Baldur’s Gate 3

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

Use a Scroll of Revivfy

One way to bring a character back to life in Baldur’s Gate 3 is by using a Scroll of Revivfy. These can be used if one of your allies falls in battle and it will instantly revive them. Any character in the game can use the spell as long as they have the item in their inventory.

When you’re ready to use it, simply navigate to your inventory and use the Scroll of Revivfy like you would use any other item. After the spell has been cast, an AoE will appear on the screen, simply select your fallen teammate and they will come back to life.

Speak to the Hooded Skeleton

Another way you can revive characters in the game is through the Hooded Skeleton. Before this option becomes available, however, 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 for you at a cost of 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!
