One of the beloved characters in Baldur's Gate 3, Withers, has been unexpectedly killed by a player, defying the norms of the game.

Withers, a powerful skeleton who aids players on their journey, provides essential services such as character respec, hiring companions, and resurrecting dead allies. Additionally, he organizes the epilogue party, offering players a final gathering with their companions.

What makes Withers unique is his invulnerability, set by game lore. However, a player of Baldur's Gate 3 has managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible feat.

The discovery was shared by Reddit user CAPHILL, who stumbled upon a method to kill Withers using the Illithid Power called "Ability Drain." By reducing Withers' Intelligence to zero, the attack triggered the Atrophied condition, resulting in instant death.

To the player's surprise, after a rest period, Withers even became lootable, leading them to remark, "Guess he's not coming back."

Unbeknownst to many, Withers is actually Jergal, the Lord of the End of Everything and the former God of Death. This revelation explains his immense power in resurrection magic, surpassing even that of powerful Clerics.

Given the significance of Withers in Baldur's Gate 3's narrative and its ending, his death could potentially have far-reaching consequences, possibly even breaking the game itself.

Interestingly, the player chose not to revert to a previous save and decided to proceed with the game, curious to observe the outcome without Withers. The community eagerly awaits an update on how the rest of their journey unfolds without the influential character.
