The Family Ring will help save you when you’ve been Downed, and you can find it during Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3).
The Family Ring is one of those easily overlooked items in Baldur’s Gate 3. Not tied to any quest, but still worth picking up for players who enjoy looting thoroughly and making the most of minor gear bonuses. While it’s not a game-changing item, it does offer a small utility boost and adds to the depth of the world’s hidden treasures. In this guide, we’ll explore the Family Ring, how to acquire it, and tips for using it effectively in Baldur’s Gate 3.
What is the Family Ring in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3 the Family Ring will increase your chances of successfully rolling a Death Saving Throw with the dice. The bonus on this ring grants a +2 increase to Death Saving Throws. A Death Saving Throw is a dice roll that a Downed creature must make to avoid dying. In Baldur’s Gate 3 when you or a party member have your HP reduced to zero, you will enter a Downed state. When Downed, you must use your full turn to roll one death saving throw per round.
With each turn a Death Saving Throw is made and the D20 dice is rolled. You must pass a 10 difficulty check in order to survive another round, which gives you allies time to help or heal you. If you fail this roll three times, then your or your party member becomes fully dead. Consequently, the only way to return is with a Revivify scroll or Withers.
