From here, you can talk to him to resurrect a dead party member for 100 gold or respec your character for 200 gold. If you are having trouble finding him, he should be near the sea, beside a ruined boat.

Where to Find Withers in the Moonrise Towers

If you missed Withers in Act 1, you can find him in the Moonrise Towers in Act 2. Keep in mind that meeting Withers is fairly Act-sensitive, which means you can only find him in the Dank Crypt in Act 1, and in the Moonrise Towers at the end of Act 2. Keep in mind that Withers will naturally join the camp either way, even if you didn’t meet him. In the Dank Crypt in Act 1, Withers will be in the sarcophagus you see after entering through the Ancient Door.

You can find Withers in Moonrise Towers at coordinates X: -151 Y: -199. He will be on the Moonrise Towers main floor, directly in front of the throne in the throne room.
