Dead (Condition)

Dead

• This creature is dead.

Notes

  • Normally, companions, temporary companions and playable characters can be revived. However, most cannot be if they have not been recruited first, or die as a result of certain plot-lines in the game. While not necessarily a comprehensive list, below are known scenarios where death is permanent with characters who are recruitable companions:

    • A companion or hireling is sacrificed to  BOOOAL in The Festering Cove.
    • Lae'zel, Halsin, Gale, or Minthara is killed by  Orin while ⁠chained to the Altar of Bhaal.
  •  Alfira, a temporary companion, is an exception to the above. Should she be recruited and perish at any point after being recruited, she cannot be revived.
