You can steal the Scroll of Revivify from the merchant and sell it back to him to buy more stuff.

One way to bring a character back to life in Baldur’s Gate 3 is by using a single-use consumable item called the Scroll of Revivify.

You can find a Scroll of Revivify during the Escape the Nautiloid quest during the Baldur’s Gate 3 prologue. You can even buy them from merchants like Roah Moonglow (Shattered Sanctum), Arron (The Hollow), and Cyrel (The Risen Road).

That being said, these scrolls are quite expensive so the best way to acquire them is by stealing them from the merchant which is quite easy to do. Once you’ve acquired it, here is how you can use the Scroll of Revivify:

  • Open your inventory.
  • Search for the Scroll of Revivify.
  • Select and use the item as you would do with any other item.
  • When the AoE appears on the screen, select the fallen teammate you want to resurrect.
  • Once it’s used, the fallen member will rejoin the party immediately.

Learn the Revivify Spell
