Where to Find The Reviving Hands
To acquire The Reviving Hands, players need to head to the Stormshore Tabernacle in the lower City of Baldur’s Gate during Act 3. The Tabernacle is situated on the far eastern side of the city, near the Basilisk Gate Waypoint. Inside, players will find Vicar Humbletoes, a merchant who sells these precious gloves.
However, a word of caution: if Vicar Humbletoes doesn’t have The Reviving Hands in his inventory during your visit, don’t worry. Merchants in Baldur’s Gate 3 often restock or reset their inventory. Simply take a Long Rest or level up, then revisit Vicar Humbletoes, and you might find the gloves available for purchase.

Once you have The Reviving Hands, it’s essential to make the most of them. Equip them on characters with Medium Armor proficiency, such as Barbarians, Bards (from the College of Valour & College of Swords), Clerics, Druids, Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers. Certain races like Githyanki and Shield Dwarf also have this proficiency. The Moderately Armor Feat can also grant medium armor and shield proficiency.
Companions like Karlach, Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Minthara can greatly benefit from these gloves. They are especially recommended for characters built as Life Domain Clerics.
The Reviving Hands are a must-have item for players looking to bolster their party’s survivability in Baldur’s Gate 3. Not only do they offer significant bonuses, but their ability to revive fallen comrades can be a game-changer in tight situations.
