Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks The best use of Gale

Certainly the most fun way of abusing (read:use) game mechanics I found so far. Gale is my WMD, and those that come looking for the culprit wont find anything.

I think we need some context heh.

I think you are on to something and I've been thinking that Larian wants us to do this. That's why they gave him the necrotic aura.

In DOS2 a good strategy was to give one character the idol of resurrection -- you send a character to soak up all the initial attacks, the enemies take down the "idol" character who magically reappears, resets the idol, and continues to attack. In the mean time the rest of the party prepares the surfaces. Rise and repeat until you run out of "revival" scrolls.

In this case I pushed Gale to his death from the elevator (blocked by a sleeping bear). His necrotic aura kills the closest druid and causes those nearby to investigate. It's a bit random, but on this particular round I managed to kill three druids and a boar. The ones investigating are looking for the culprit, but since Gale is both dead and killing them off, it's quite hard to find the one responsible. It's a once-in-a-playthrough trick and I find it hilarious. Gale is great.

What necrotic aura? I've never run into it, or even had him ask to eat magic items for that matter, and am in the Underdark after the tiefling celebration.

Yes - every time he dies he has the necrotic aura ...I thought it may have gone after raising him via that imp & the flute ....but no!
