Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player manages to accidentally kill Death Larian StudiosA player has shocked the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community by doing something that was supposed to be impossible: killing Withers. One of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2018s standout characters is Withers. The mysterious and powerful skeleton is a huge help on your journey, allowing you to respec your character, recruit hirelings, and revive dead companions. As of Patch 5, he also puts together the epilogue party, allowing players to have one last get-together with their companions. One important fact about Withers that sets him apart from other NPCs is that he cannot be killed. Based on lore you can uncover about him during the game, there\u2019s good reason for his invulnerability. However, one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has managed to do just that. Note, spoilers for Withers\u2019 true identity to follow. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player accidentally kills Withers with Gale As Reddit user CAPHILL shared, it\u2019s actually possible to kill Withers despite the fact that it should be impossible. The player found this after using the Illithid Power \u201cAbility Drain\u201d to reduce his Intelligence. Lowering any stat to zero gives the target the Atrophied condition, resulting in instant death. After a long rest, Withers even became lootable, causing the player to note, \u201cGuess he\u2019s not coming back.\u201d For those who aren\u2019t aware, Withers is actually Jergal, Lord of the End of Everything and the former God of Death. This explains why he\u2019s so powerful with resurrection magic that surpasses even powerful Clerics. With that in mind, the fact that a player managed to kill him is pretty shocking and likely an oversight. After all, it\u2019s likely Larian didn\u2019t forsee anyone actually using Ability Drain to Athrophy Withers to death. Given Withers\u2019 role in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s story and its ending, his death could have significant \u2013 possibly game-breaking \u2013 consequences. Luckily for those curious, the player chose not to reload an old save to instead see how the game plays out without him, so hopefully, they\u2019ll share an update on how the rest of the run going without Withers.
