Baldur's Gate 3: Romance with Gale in BG3 Baldurs Gate 3 guide, walkthrough

Gale is one of the first heroes you can add to your party in Baldur's Gate 3. Thanks to tips from this page, you'll be able to get approval with the mage of Waterdeep, even to a point when an intimate relationship will become possible.

How to unlock a romance with Gale?

1. Gale is one of the first characters you encounter in Act 1, he is close to the Mind Flayers' crashed ship. After approaching the rune circle found north of the wreck, a cut-scene will play during which you'll be able to help a man get out of a magical trap (there are a few ways to solve the problem, but almost all of them boil down to choosing a right dialogue option and completing an easy skill check).
2. With the rescue successful, Gale will join your party (or go to your camp). If you want to get friendly with the mage, you should bring him onto your adventures, as during them you'll often have a chance of getting approval points with him. The romance with Gale is available to both genders.
3. Gale has a rather friendly disposition and his alignment steers towards good. Making morally right decisions (for example, avoiding unnecessary conflicts or showing compassion) in most cases will meet with approval from the mage.
4. As a scientist, Gale appreciates all forms of intelligence and deduction. If your character throughout the adventure shows magical skill and a thirst for knowledge, these efforts will be appreciated by Gale, gradually improving your standing with him.
5. In order to not mess up the relationship with Gale, your hero should stray from immoral transgressions, showing ignorance and stupidity, and insensitive commenting of the mage's unusual illness.
6. Gale has a magical ailment that forces him to absorb magic artifacts from time to time. As a result, providing Gale with items to absorb will quickly make you gain in his eyes.
7. When your relationship with the mage reaches the appropriate level, Gale will invite you to explore the secrets of magic together while resting in the camp. This short sequence can be evolved into a more intimate scene.
8. The highlight of your friendship will be a longer sequence during which Gale will take you on a journey through sceneries created by magic. This is where you will be able to consume your mutual acquaintance.
