In Baldur’s Gate 3, if you don’t sleep with someone fast enough, a mummy will laugh at you

In Baldur’s Gate 3, a certain NPC is causing a lot of memes in the community: the Withers. The rustic skeleton with pretty bad social skills makes fans laugh with his dry sayings.

Who is the NPC? “The Withered One” is a mysterious and spooky lich that you encounter early on. He joins your camp and you can reskill your class and hire hirelings from him.

After unlocking it, the friendly undead will accompany you as a companion in your camp. You can talk to him there whenever you want and he even has good advice from time to time.

Often, however, he only throws pointed comments in your face, more or less intentionally. For example, Withers laughs at you mercilessly if you don’t end up with your companions quickly enough and is also happy to comment on your love life.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has romance and eroticism written large on the flag – with few restrictions:

“The withered one just scolded me for not having sex”

The withered one is more of the mysterious type. We don’t really know much about him, except that he makes a few nasty jokes. We are excited to see what else he will reveal to us. Now back to the romances.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can romance certain companions. Which is important, because these affect your relationship with your companions and even the story. Your romance can also lead to sex.

But you have to respond to the values, wishes and needs of the respective character – so that they let you do the laundry. According to Larian Studios, Astarion has broken the hearts of over 100,000 players and failed them. Getting him in the box seems hard. Most players try Shadowheart and Gale.

What kind of sayings does the withered one come out with? Stanton_Dowd started a thread on Reddit where community members share their experiences with the snappy withered one. He knocks out some nasty jokes when you don’t have sex – or too much.

Users share sayings that they either got from Withers themselves or that they find pretty appropriate:

  • Der_Apothecary wrote: “He called Shadowheart a bosom friend! She is so much more than that!”
  • ImpulseAfterhought shared a supposed quote from the withered: “Honestly, if you ditch that gross haircut, you could change women’s minds.”
  • Bojake110 would find an answer to reskilling very appropriate: “I can respec you for 100 gold. But no amount of money can make me respect you.”
  • HadesCommander wrote about the Withered One: “Withered One is hands down my favorite NPC. We have this snarky, mysterious, undead wizard who annoys us because we’re either not having sex or we’re getting too much.”
