Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Dark Urge and Gale [Spoilers]

Ok i want this bit spoiled. after you bite off his hand with the dark urge. do you meet him again? and how does that meeting go?

Seriously, at the first meeting there is an opportunity to bite off his hand?

I might be wrong but could he even see who you were before you pull him out?

I mean, the way he reaches out his hand it looks like his head is above the portal.

as the Dark Urge origin yes.

Probably not. but i am curious I'm really tempted to do it and experience that story. but at the same time you'll miss a lot i bet. so i want to make a more informed decision about this particular situation.

I am durge, you bitting the hand off is avoidable and gives you nothing in return. There are unavoidable kills in the story (only in act 1 underdark so far). Depending on your class you can mitigate durge outbursts. If your playing barbarian or fighter thou good luck passing the checks to do so.

Is the dragonborn race a prerequisite for this scene?

oh theres more. even before the underdark that are unavoidable. with any class whatsoever. but that's not what i was asking.

I don't believe so. as you can completely customise the dark urge in any way you want

Yes, I know, I just can't imagine how a human or an elf could chew off a hand...

The dragonborn has a mouth like a crocodile

So nobody that went this route that can share their experience ?

Anyone that did this and found him again?

Couple people on steam got back to me. in their whole playthrough they never saw gale again.

Larian cmon.. that's just so disappointing

I mean, he was stuck in that portal, chances are, he died there and went nuclear, wherever he was at that moment.
He couldn't go out on his own, so if you just cut off his hand and leave him there, that's logically the end of the road for Gale

I assume he just dies?
that does seem to be the implication of that scene

Also it's unclear if you cut it off or bit it off? you start day dreaming, then black out and when you wake up you're chewing on it.

I would have loved if there was more to it.
like if you would suddenly meet him again in baldur's gate. him still missing his arm. then have to roll a check to see if he might suspect you or not. and more shenanigans.
that would've made it more fun.

Well, there is more to it, but this I think it will disappoint you even more. It proves more that Gale is really dead. Spoilers for Act III and endgame so stop reading if you didn't get there yet.


To meet Orin you need to do a kinda sacrifice blood ritual and you need to offer Bhaal... a hand.Somewhere online I red that you can offer Gale's hand, and that's it.
So, he's dead. xD

just a little fyi dark urge isnt an elf dragon born or anything of the sort theres alot more too it that you'll have to play to see as for the hand bit yes you can do it regardless of racial settings you picked out. i always play dark urge, only one worth playing for me personally. granted that is my personal opinion.

It's not the bomb. If someone rips off your hand, you'll be dead from exsanguination in less than half an hour.

Well, the problem with Gale that if he dies the bombs goes off in three days anyway. So even if he had some magic spell or potion to heal it. He couldn't escape wherever he was.

Yes, as I said, he would die and THEN the bomb would go off.
