After sacrificing their gold to Withers in exchange for reviving a fallen comrade in Baldur’s Gate 3, players are curious about how Withers actually uses their hard-earned currency. The possibilities suggested by fans range from companionship to illicit substances, with one thing for certain: it’s definitely not for skincare.
In the game, players encounter Withers in the Dank Crypt, where he poses the question of the value of a mortal life. As it turns out, a mortal life is worth precisely 200 gold when it comes to revival.
If you’ve ever experienced the unfortunate demise of a companion, whether accidentally or intentionally (yes, I’m looking at those who blow up Astarion for his post-death dialogue at the Githyanki Creche), you know that reviving them is a straightforward yet costly process.
However, the burning question remains: how does Withers spend the gold he receives?
In true Baldur’s Gate 3 fashion, fans have come up with amusing suggestions, including spending it on bosom companions, intimate encounters, and even constructing a new tomb and crypt after we obliterated his previous one along with his companions. But one thing players are certain of is that it’s definitely not for maintaining a decent skincare routine.
While these responses are entertaining, some players speculate that it’s presumptuous to assume Withers gets to keep the money. In fact, it is possible to pickpocket your gold back from him, ensuring that he can’t spend it on anything.
To accomplish this, you’ll need a Rogue like Astarion or a character with high Dexterity and proficient hiding and sneaking abilities.
Although we may never truly know how Withers spends our hard-earned gold, players certainly have their own imaginative ideas—unless, of course, he has already fallen victim to a clever thief.
