Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion SPOILER How do you handle Gale's issue ?

I went through all twelves pages of this forum (There is a thirdteenth displayed but it seems to be empty) and apparently there is no thread about this yet.

So, about Gale's issue, which three magic items do you recomment to sacrifice ?

And why these specifically ?

I already decided on the spear, since I have no use for it. Its effect is kinda nice but frankly I prefer the 1 point of damage guaranteed NOW from a regular Morning Star over a bonus on the next attack sometimes in the future that might still miss anyway despite the bonus, plus when Shadowheart wields the spear in just one hand its damage is actually lower than that of Morning Stars.

But I'm drawing a blank about the rest. For example I really like access to the Dancing Light Cantrip.

Unless I play a bard he gets the 2 bard clothes and the dancing lights necklace.

That locket was gift, you monster!

I just buy three magical items from the druid vendor and hand them to Gale. I think Ethel has one too.

I didn't have a lot of trouble with Gale's problem, actually. I didn't spam Long Rests, so once he told me about it and asked for the first item, I had plenty I wouldn't be using to give.

Even after the first one, it was several hours of content before he asked again. Same wait until he asked for the third. Then we dealt with what comes after that.

If you don't spam Long Rests, it's actually paced quite well.

He got a bard hat, a cheap axe from the druid vendor with useless bonus against burning status and something else I forgot, pretty easy to save three weak items around 1/4th of act 1

The dancing lights necklace that you get for rescuing Arabella is perfect Gale food.

I don't understand how to use the "Sparky" items that all rely on Lightning charges, so those can go in Gale, too.

I save 3 items I've never going to use and move on. It's barely a thing other than the first 3 hours of play.

But a real pain to item hoarders like me !
