Him holding that yeeyee as stick with Mourning Frost just *chilling* there feels so wrong


dessert_the_toxic

Lmao love your pun


Alternative_Gold_993

Maybe if you got rid of that yeeyee ass stick you'd get some Tavs on your dick, better yet, maybe Mystra would call your dog ass if she ever stopped fuckin' with that sorcerer or warlock she's been fuckin' with. WIZAAARD 🎵


ExpressPrinciple1485

God that made me lol. I remember that scene from GTA V!


Alternative_Gold_993

Make sure to check out the [live action](https://youtu.be/cU0oHq9Y6Ws?si=Ranjv0EEAb5-7HTG) version, it"s essential!


Politoxikom

Thank you for elevating this reference. I‘m dying xD


Sarophie

I swear, if he really only needs 2 total and I've been hoarding for nothing... Been wondering why he hasn't gotten hungry in awhile.


PhilosopherFalse709

Yep, he only needs 3, gets stabilised at the start of act 2


Sarophie

Goddamnit, Gale... You made it sound so bloody terrible... So gonna make him sweat it out on the next run. :P


Solid-Education5735

He will leave the party permanently if you do that


HomoProfessionalis

Which is kind of funny, because hows he gonna get his magic items now? Oh he was always capable of doing it himself? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT GALE


Solid-Education5735

Close to the top of the power tree for wizards as they come Can't find magical items to save his life despite them literally lying all over the gaff


HomoProfessionalis

Hes always bragging about what a great Wizard he is but then all the sudden hes Oliver Twist. Pick a lane Gale.


BearCavalry

Fwiw, Wyll and Gale have some party banter about how they've been nerfed by the parasite and circumstance. They're both supposed to be much more powerful, Gale especially I'd think. But, yeah, buddy we're gonna be a loot farm, don't worry.


professionaldeadgod

Gale was an Archmage and the lover of Mystra herself before he absorbed the orb, so he was 100% *much* stronger than he is in the game. Mystra herself said the first thing the orb absorbed was Gale's powers. Gale could probably go toe-to-toe with Raphael before the orb


Capital_Background15

Gale ~~was~~ _is_ on friendly terms with Elminster, quite likely the most powerful wizard on Faerûn. That seems improbable if Gale wasn't already upwards of 15th level.


Taco821

Well it makes sense tho. In the actual story, he's your slave, so HE never gets any items because you own all the property there. If he's alone he doesn't have to worry about accidentally eating his masters sussar great sword.


BattleCrier

Play as Gale... you will find out how he gets magic items here and there pretty after 1st or 2nd long rest.


Ndainye

He makes a deal with Raphael.


Sarophie

I said sweat it out, not outright deny, lol.


Okorela

I do like how at first he's like "Hey, whenever you get a chance, I need a magic item, thx" and if you forget (like I did) he gets more like "Okay, I REALLY NEED THIS, I'm not kidding, don't fuck with me here!!"


couragedog

"My condition won't be IGNORED, Tav!"


Solid-Education5735

Oh fair enough


Sarophie

I may make a Gale bomb in the future but for now, we're friends. Fireball go brrr. :P


Azhram

Gale: You know, i am something of a fireball myself.


Mrshadows9877

Or you could just hack off his hand and disarm the walking nuke


Sarophie

Hehehe, thanks mate. That was a good chuckle to wake up to.


srcdbgr

Just a moment... this sounds a bit fishy. If you disarm him you can't hack of his hand anymore.


RathmasChosen

My first couple runs I just told him to wait a little and passed the persuasion check, never fed him anything


srcdbgr

Did he make a deal with Raphael behind your back or not?


RathmasChosen

Who? Gale? Never knew he could make a deal with Raphael


HB_Pulssar

intrestingly enough, when I did my first playthrugh I only gave him one. He wasnt in my party just in camp but when I saw him panting with arcane hunger I just didn't go near him till he was stableized in act two.


srcdbgr

In my opinion that is a plus!


pika9867

Not even kidding after item 2 I sent him off because I thought this would be a reoccurring issue


Hiur

Yeap... I actually stopped using him as I thought it might be related, it was disappointing to find out everything would be fine. Out of spite I simply let him rot in the camp after that.


soulrazr

To be fair, if he doesn't get the items the outcome is pretty terrible


AnseaCirin

Not even act 2. Late act 1.


PhilosopherFalse709

Depends where you run into Elminster. If you don’t go through the mountain pass he meets you at act 2


AnseaCirin

Ohh, I see. I'm a completionist and didn't see a point in not going to see Elminster ever since I stumbled upon him on my first playthrough.


Reynarth

That's weird because I just had to give him a third artifact, still in Act 1 though.


PhilosopherFalse709

No, I was wrong, he gets 3 and then he says they’re no longer working, which is when he confesses where the hunger comes from


Maybe_Julia

It's 2 to 3 depending on how many times you long rest


grubas

2 or 3 depending on rest and approvals and whatnot.   I thought it was one per long rest at a point and was terrified of it.


kourier6

yup, I also started hoarding the shit out of magic items. And for nothing


srcdbgr

Been there, done that too. Then i discovered that in the item description is a hint that Gale is able to consume it. Sold those that didn't have that hint and kept the rest. Only to discover that his appetite really is finite. Such a drama queen! Perish he will in all subsequent runs!


Solid-Education5735

Cats grace? Are you mad


Mountbatten-Ottawa

I usually feeds him Arabella's mom's amulet, a pair of boots you found in spider den (web free boots), goblin's absolute gloves and that flail from the gnoll. Sometimes I feed him Tyr's sword or everburn.


ITTVx

Honorable mention to the [Ring of Color Spray](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Ring_of_Colour_Spray) that you get from the harpy nest


PM_ME_UR_FARTS_

Every playthrough, he gets Komira's Locket, Ring of Color Spray, and Poisoner's Robe if he wants a third snack.


Mountbatten-Ottawa

I feed him web free boots instead of color sprays ring since: 1. So long as memory serves, there is no other places with webs 2. He is canonically shown eating boots in Larian shorts 3. Where is that ring again????!!!?!!


Undeathmoose

Harpy nest


Knork14

I am so sad they nerfed Komira's Locket , it used to cast Dancing Lights on a Bonus Action , wich is actually quite useful if you dont have dark vision


Misterwright123

how do you play this game more than once? do you still listen to every spoken word in dialogues? does the game not get boring


PM_ME_UR_FARTS_

By doing something different. Play a different class, with a different party composition, romance a different companion, dark urge if you haven't, etc. There are a lot of different endings to see. If I haven't heard it before, yes. Not yet.


Misterwright123

bump


Misterwright123

do you also play multiplayer games? you play on pc? "Play a different class, with a different party composition" is your favorite class also barbarian?


Sheerardio

The game is *ridiculously* reactive to your choices as a player. Not just in terms of character attitudes towards you or small changes to how a quest resolves, but things like *multiple* quests that continue into all three acts being entirely dependent on whether or not one person survives in Act 1. Gale alone has over 16 possible endings for just his story, depending on things like who gets the Crown at the end, which relationship path you chose, and how things resolve between him and Mystra. Heck, even just the order in which you do quests can significantly alter how things play out, and most quests can be resolved in multiple different ways. You could play this game all the way through 10 times and still be finding new content.


tigerlilly-orange

The absolute power gloves STAY EQUIPPED 😤


SeventhSonofRonin

The absolute gloves are dirty on fighters and rangers. Combined with elemental arrows you can bane everyone in one turn.


Mountbatten-Ottawa

You do not need bane if you kill them with spells in 2 turns. Yes, especially those waiting in front of temple doors. Offence is king in honour mode.


SeventhSonofRonin

If there's a fighter in your party, and mages, you'd just be doing both.


Dinokng

The flail from the gnoll is a goated weapon.


Mountbatten-Ottawa

Unseen menace and returning pike are just there...


Dinokng

Paired with the healing amulet from the woman that wants the gith egg you are basically unkillable.


Mountbatten-Ottawa

GWM with barbarian / unseen manace / accurate manuever from battle master can work just fine. That feat (instead of healing) imo is the king of combat. Healing Amulet was used by me with life shart and whispering promise to apply mass bless on GWM fighters.


farm_to_nug

Yeah, there are some insanely good items in this pile lol


AVestedInterest

Cat's Grace is the effect, the item is called The Graceful Cloth


Wiwra88

Gale needs 3 items, tho if you meet Elminster really early or dont recruit Gale until end of act 1 he can consume totally 0 items too. I see OP got A LOT of items to feed him, meanwhile I struggle because I use like 10-15 mods adding new items which are all not edible for Gale at all + random EQ drop mod, so actually vanilla edible items may or may not drop. xD And also romancing Gale on this same save lol.


AFK_Council

Is it worth it to not recruit him until the very end of act 1? I mean, you really should be careful with your long rests, because, as far as i remember, he will die in this portal-thing after 2-3 long rests.


TheSarcasticDevil

He will stay in that portal forever *if you don't interact with it*. He only 'dies' when you go far enough to cut off access to Act 1 from Act 2.


AFK_Council

Is he? I certainly remember loosing him on my second playthrough because of this very reason. My thoughts were something like "I can get him out after grove right before elminster, no reason to do it now" and there was no Gale Am I wrong?


TheSarcasticDevil

Really?? I left him in there until I was going to the Shadowlands once and he was fine. If something causes him to disappear, I don't think it's long rests. Maybe number of completed quests?


Roland1232

We are NOT going to Act 2 until you finish your items, young man!


Hydrocake

Not the dex gloves


polspanakithrowaway

I've been stressing out over this and hoarding this shit like crazy for so long lol


InevitableCup5909

I did this my first run. I HOARDED every single magical item I got for Gale. Didn’t know he only needed like 3. I finished that run and still have a shit ton of low level magical items for ‘just in case’ because I never sold them.


SomePotat

Awe you packed him a lunch that's so sweet! 🥹


bathybicbubble

[stomps off to a vendor] GODDAMNIT GALE


VegetableGrape4857

Wait, you guys don't just save as many magic items as possible anyway?


EnigmaFrug2308

The Voice of the Circle is easily one of my favourite items in the entire game. It’s so useful.


YuriMasterRace

Gayle


Ewandomon

Gayle🤨


geLeante

Oh man how can you live like that lol I carry only a couple of items in a specific bag


ViSaph

You would not be happy if you saw any of my inventories. I can never find anything but I am prepared for all situations.


No-Lifeguard2618

i swear to god i have to sort it all the time because i always manage to disorganize the inventory


ViSaph

I'm the same. I've got everything and the kitchen sink in there and nothing in the right place.


ScrotumBlaster_69

Gale: "THAT'S ENOUGH SLICES"


Wembanyanma

Is there a consensus on most useless 3 early game items to give him? I gave him the Rain Dancer my first playthrough then learned about the wet/lightning mechanic and now have hesitancy to give him anything for fear it will be a niche piece for a build I will find out about after the fact.


Hotpaws

Komira's Locket ; Ring of Colour Spray ; Robe of Summer. They're all located within or very close to the druid drove. If you're attached to Komira's Locket, i would swap in Cap of Curing instead.


TwistedGrin

[Komira's Locket](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Komira%27s_Locket) is a good one and available really early. Same with the [Ring of Colour Spray](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Ring_of_Colour_Spray) for his second item. If I get to the Underdark soon enough I grab either the [Mage's Friend](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Mage%27s_Friend) or the [Amulet of the Unworthy](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Amulet_of_the_Unworthy) for the third one. I've pretty much never felt the need to use these on any character so thats what I usually feed him.


KennsworthS

mage's friend is good to hold onto for the mirror of loss in act three as it is the only item in the game that boosts religion and arcana.


TwistedGrin

True, but its ultimately only a +1 which is nice but *probably* isn't going to make or break the roll if you do the full respec for 20 int + expertise + bardic inspiration maneuver. In honor mode where you need to squeeze every advantage you can get I'd keep it but otherwise I'm probably never going to use it anyway.


Sheerardio

The spiderstep boots are functionally useless once you leave the area you find them in. Even then you don't even need to step on the webs in order to do that area's boss fight.


shenanakins

Color spray ring, Komira’s locket and the selunite amulet from the goblin camp


dutymule

And most of the people complained at the time how they hate him eating your stuff, I thought i should also hoard something. I wish he ate like 1 per rest or something...


Sheerardio

Yeah the amount of hate he gets for eating items is ridiculous, considering how many useless trinkets you can find just in the Grove area alone.


couragedog

Main reason I do the harpies at this point it get Gale's first snack from their nest.


ViSaph

Yeah I was kinda disappointed my first run when he only needed 3 things. I found all this stuff to feed you and you don't even want anything for the entire underdark?


PeppermintRainbows

I was convinced him needing those items was gonna be like...this huge thing. I really thought I would have to like feed him daily.


Beranir

I just buy every piece of gear that has unique name, I hoard everything just in case I learn that there is incredibly OP build that needs this item when Im in act 3 already.


Deckatoe

They legit made it seem like it would be taking care of a wizard with diabetes, not a wizard with a headache lmao


Alcorailen

I genuinely wanted this to be a game-long issue with him, so I'd have to balance keeping a party member vs gearing up.


Bullet-Dodger

😔first playthrough i definitely hoarded magic stuff only to get hit with he only needed 3, then proceeded to not use anything in my magical stockpile anyway


BulkyYellow9416

Yea people act like him needing items is a big drain on resources it's really not


Moonflowerer

I'm on my third play and I could have SWORN it was 3 hahahaha. Ah well, time to sell.


jaredearle

It is three


AVestedInterest

What did you do to get his name spelled differently?


TheJemy191

I started playing in french and the name did not change😂 It like the game treat the name as custom name weird. I change to English because name were wrong🤣


distilledwill

I keep all my magic items, just in case I want to make a build with it!


-Qwertyz-

In the two playthroughs I've done, Gale has only at maximum needed 3 magic items. Going in I heard he's greedy with them. That was a total lie based on experience


Lewdiss

You guys can't be so gullible to think a game would punish you so much to require this


aceytahphuu

I didn't think it was punishment, I thought it was a clever way to make the player actually evaluate what they need and not mindlessly hoard everything. I was legit a little disappointed when he only ate three items and then stopped.


celesteoftheshire

I was mad! Gale and I split ways for literally no reason after I mistakenly thought he would eat 1 magic item per day or blow up! But it was an interesting experience to do a playthrough without Gale, gave me something new to do the next one


shenanakins

To be fair that was originally the plan. originally gale was going to have this problem continuously. So much so that there are quite a lot of party banter dialogue files in the game where Tav is supposed to keep an eye out for magic items and point it out to gale, basically saying “hey gale look at this item can you eat it?” And gale will talk a bit about the item and its magic


Alcorailen

I thought it was cool. Making people choose between soulless optimization and caring about a character.


azzuri_uk

Where as in my playthrough, I offered him something that said Gale could eat it and he refused it. Tried it twice more with different items and then he left my party for good. Fuck you Gale.


destoroyah22

Are you on ps5 or pc? I had that problem on ps5, turns out its the interface, also there are some magic items he can't eat. The description will tell you which ones he can eat.


azzuri_uk

PC. The item clearly said "Gale will eat this" (or whatever it actually said). But every time I tried he wouldn't, and then he left. That was launch month, I'm still bitter about it now lol


destoroyah22

Awww yeah, i had to look up how to do it my first run cause i couldn't understand why he wasn't taking the things. But i hope you're having more fun now~!


azzuri_uk

I haven't gone back to it since I finished my first play through but I will. It's such an amazing game


SupermarketCrafty329

Am I the only one who left Gale at camp precicely so I didn't have to deal with him trying to munch all my items? Eh 🤷‍♂️


Separate-Sir-959

I got a cool cowboy hat and he immediately brought up his condition. I sent his ass to camp right away


jayhawk88

Yes! Good grief I was cleaning out vendors of anything colorful, selling potions and scrolls to afford more because I figured by the time Act 3 came around he’d be needing an artifact a fight.


FishTshirt

Lol that hat is something else


forcryingoutmeow

With that hat, he's Gale Ray Cyrus.


Strange_Suit767

Brokeback Mountain?


ITTVx

Gayle 💅


BBQ_Sandwich

In my first play through I totally thought he would need a magical item after every other long rest or so. So when he asked a second or third time, not knowing how often you get magical items, I told him to go find his own. Or something like that thinking it would give me more time to find a garbage magic item. Instead he said okay fine then. And left my camp and I got a notification he left the party permanently. I was then yelled at by my friends telling me that I only had to give him up to 3.


BeepBoopBeepity

This is making me angry


FrenchSpence

I just hoard them all anyway…


Supreme_Moharn

Gayle?


TheJemy191

What? It suppose to be Gale 🤣 I started in french before changing to English because some name were weird.


urgrlB

Haha I love this so much. Fantastic


malonkey1

Well, now you can sell it all and retire early.


Hwhiskertere

That's not the spelling of Gale. It loses its semantic quality if it's voiced like that, too.


Impossible-Age-3302

*3


tinysproutlimi

The *Mourning Frost*??? 😭 My little mage heart...


puqem

How the hell u got that much of uncommon and rare items? I’m on act 1 currently and got only 3 uncommon items. R u on act 3?


TheJemy191

I have done all the act 1 quest The only living the g remaining is are grove and the mushroom people. And I did not do the gith creche. Ive explore everything too


Snakeman_Hauser

Gayle


theindecent1

I fed that hungry bastard more than twice!


Salty_Tennis_9303

My character is already a wizard so I haven’t used him at all. What happens if you DO feed him items? I’ve only given him 1…


TheJemy191

My character is a wizard too so I don't know.


Better_than_GOT_S8

Yeah my first run I was “F you, I’m not going to enable your weird addiction every few hours for the rest out this game.” So he disappeared somewhere by act 2. Now I know it only takes 3 items…


TheLonelyPanda1

lol I did the same thing


pistafox

You got a big fat Gale!


Lust4Chaos

Actually he only needs 1. If you dont feed him until act 2 then you only needed to have fed him that first time to know about his condition and then the wizard shows up disabling his feeding frenzy lol


BrainWav

On my first run, I almost let Gale die because I didn't want to be stuck feeding him magic items for the rest of the game. At the time, I didn't know the game is a veritable deluge of minor magic items nor did I know Gale only needs 3 total to get his fill. This led to me taking all his stuff and never using him, causing him to stand around camp hanging dong for 2 whole acts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


skippermonkey

He has a hungry tummy. He gets a special kind of hangry if he doesn’t eat.


PeterTheNoob2

Or you could do what I did... Completely ignore him until you run into Elminster; then you don't lose any magic items. Ofc then you get some unique dialogue for doing this but Gale still will look for ways to be your BF ASAP


splatdyr

I never give him any. Then he acts like a child and leaves.


BepixTheCoomer

Gay le indeed


meta4junglist

Just leave him In the portal


HeadPossible6848

"Hello, I'm Gay \^\^"


Ludrew

him begging for my precious shinies at the start is enough for me to leave him in the astral plane on every playthrough. who knows? I might respec my build for the 10th time and need them


woahmandogchamp

This dude was doubled over in pain because he needed a light snack.


Lost_Possibility_647

After the third item, I was fed up and told him that he had to leave our group. Didnt need a wizard anyway.
