Should You Help Gale In Baldur’s Gate 3 (& What Happens If You Don’t)

Throughout Baldur’s Gate 3, the companion Gale will beg to consume the party’s magic items; however, it can be difficult to choose whether to give them up. Gale is one of 10 companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, a human wizard with an Icarian backstory. In his insatiable hunger for power, Gale sparked an unfortunate romance with the goddess Mystra, and wound up with a Netherese Destruction Orb in his chest. This is more than just heartbreak; the Orb is akin to a bomb, and its timer is forever ticking down. Gale needs to put the big kaboom off as long as possible, and the best way to do that is by consuming magic items.
