Baldur's Gate 3: How to Cure Flesh Rot

When first receiving the Flesh Rot effect in Baldur's Gate 3, players may not even notice the effects and will not cure it, expecting the disease to go away on its own. However, regular rest will not solve this problem, and therefore, after a few days, the character will lose most of its health and stamina.

Illnesses left untreated can deprive you or your favorite characters in your story, and measures taken in time will negate all the consequences. Fortunately, curing Flesh Rot is easy if you have the specific characters or spells on your team.

How to Get Rid of Flesh Rot in BG3

the character is using the Lesser Restoration spell in BG3

Players can cure Flesh Rot in Baldur’s Gate 3 in two ways:

Use the Lesser Restoration spell.
Use the Paladin class skill - Lay On Hands.

If you have a Paladin in your team, you won't have to worry about most illnesses starting at level one. The great power of the Lay On Hands class skill makes it easy to heal Flesh Rot at any stage of the playthrough. So, if you are playing with friends, taking one Paladin on your team will be a good decision. After all, an easily accessible panacea is not the only strong point of this class.

Alternatively, players can get rid of Flesh Rot in BG3 using the Lesser Restoration spell. This Level 2 spell is available to classes such as Bard, Cleric, and Druid at Level 3 and Paladin and Ranger at Level 5, so finding a suitable caster will be much easier than in the first method. However, the need to spend a Level 2 Spell Slot can make healing difficult. Simply put, characters who get sick at the beginning of the game may not survive until they gain access to this spell.

However, Flesh Rot is a fairly slow disease that only slightly reduces the health and stamina of the characters, and reaching the required level to use a suitable spell should not take too long. So you can use health potions and try to save their HP by leaving it on the rear flanks during battles. At the same time, level up Shadowheart to level 3 as soon as possible, after which she will have access to the Lesser Restoration spell.

If none of the methods described above are suitable, or, for example, you decide to play with a group of barbarians, you can do without the help of casters. Players only need to get the Amulet Of Silvanus hidden under a stone near the fishing bear at Druid Grove. This amulet allows any class to use Lesser Restoration once per day. So even a Barbarian with little knowledge of magic can become a kind of healer and cure Flesh Rot at any level.
