Baldur’s Gate 3 player shares simple trick to pickpocket gold from Withers
Larian StudiosA Baldur’s Gate 3 player revealed that you can actually take back your money from Withers after using his Respec and Resurrection services, and the enthusiast community shared the best ways to heist back your gold from him.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game that offers quite a lot of liberty, even if said freedom of choice means you can steal from your allies. Withers, for example, is a useful NPC that will offer Respec services for your characters, and even bring them back from the gates of death, for a price.
But what if we told you that those gold coins can be put back in your purse with a simple in-game ability? Well, the Baldur’s Gate 3 community was eager to showcase the best methods to pickpocket your money back from the clutches of Withers.
Posted by Reddit user ‘brooksofmaun’ in the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, this post became a den of thieves, as a flock of enthusiast BG3 players swarmed to grant the visitors some advice on how to take your money back from Withers when using his Respec or Resurrection services.
The problem with Pickpocketing from your allies is that it often draws immediate consequences. But none of that matters if you don’t get caught, right? Sadly, Withers has a lot of Wisdom, and his Perception score makes it one of the hardest NPCs to pickpocket in the game.
But none of that matters to these players, who have put together a series of useful tips to steal your gold back from him. One of the Baldur’s Gate 3 players suggested: “Can you like… stack a wall of crates in front of him? And I think also dame Aylin.” To which another one answered: “Yes, you definitely can. It works.”
Meanwhile, another crafty player suggested a diversion: “Have the Paladin talk to them so their gaze is held away from Withers… switch to a different party member for thievery. Easy af.”
Reddit user ‘arzen353’ also pinpointed a useful fact about Pickpocketing that can be a game changer for every crafty Rogue in Baldur’s Gate 3. “Turning on turn-based mode before you pickpocket also makes it so you have infinite time to fuss around without worrying about being spotted.”
So there you have it: if you are hellbent on recovering your gold from the cold hands of the messenger of death itself, then you should probably follow these useful tips from experienced players.
