What are the Boots of Apparent Death in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Boots of Apparent Death are an uncommon armour piece that any class or companion can use to gain access to the Feign Death necromancy spell. The Feign Death spell does exactly what the name implies. It allows spellcasters to put their allies into a magical, protective coma, feigning death. Normally, only Bards, Clerics, Druids, and Wizards can learn this spell at Level 5. However, by equipping these boots any party member can use this spell once per Short Rest.
When an ally is affected by Feign Death they become resistant to all types of damage except Psychic. Furthermore, if they were Diseased or Poisoned, then those damage over time effects will no longer cause harm. The coma will last for 10 turns, but you can also wake your ally up by using the Help action.

How to Get the Boots of Apparent Death in BG3?
To get the Boots of Apparent Death in BG3, you must reach Reithwin Town during Act 2, and then find the locked iron gate in the local graveyard. The boots are inside a sarcophagus behind the locked gate.
Step 1- Use a Moonlantern to safely enter Reithwin Town
Your first step in finding the Boots of Apparent Death will be to discover a working Moonlantern so you can safely travel to Reithwin Town. The Shadow Curse will be too powerful in this area for you to use only a lit torch. You’ll need to either attack the Absolute Convoy or find Isobel in the Last Light Inn.
Once you have a Moonlantern or a Pixie’s Blessing, then you can travel across the bridges to the southwest that leads into Reithwin Town.
Step 2- Find the Sarcophagus in the Reithwin Graveyard
To find the Graveyard, head directly north from the statue in the central plaza. The Reithwin Town Graveyard is in between the Mason’s Guild and the House of Healing.
Head north into the graveyard and you’ll find a small mausoleum on the left/west-hand side. There will be a locked iron gate and through it, you can see a single stone sarcophagus. You’ll need to pass a 10 DC Sleight of Hand check to successfully open the iron gate. There is no lock or trap on the sarcophagus. You can simply click on it to find the Boots of Apparent Death inside.
How to Use Boots of Apparent Death in BG3?
The best way to use the Boots of Apparent Death in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to equip them to a support character or build. Feign Death is likely not a spell you will want to use very often. Putting an ally in a magical coma may give them a significant defensive buff, but it doesn’t prevent them from being attacked. Additionally, you will lose any attacks or actions they could make on their turn.
However, the Feign Death spell can be a great way to stop damage-over-time effects like Disease or Poison. Especially if you don’t have access to consumables such as Antidotes or Elixirs of Health.
