In Baldur’s Gate 3, Gale, one of your companions, has a mysterious object embedded in his chest. And to survive, he must consume the magic from items. However, that doesn’t mean you must give him your Legendary amulets or gear.
Here are the best magic items to give Gale in BG3.
What are the best magic items to give to Gale in BG3
The best magical items to give to Gale in BG3 are those you don’t see yourself using, ones you’ve outgrown, or common or uncommon items.
But these are seven magic items you won’t need in the end game that are great to give to Gale—and they’re ones you can get early in Act One.
You should avoid giving Gale any rare, ultrarare, or legendary items.
| Magic Item | Location |
|---|---|
| Komira’s Locket | The reward for Saving Arabella in Druid Grove |
| Gloves of Power | Loot from Za’krug at the entrance of Druid Grove |
| The Watcher’s Guide | Found in the sarcophagus in the Dank Crypt |
| Cap of Curing | Steal from a locked chest by the bard, Alfira, in Druid Grove. |
| Moondrop Pendant | Found inside the Selunite Glided Chest in the Owlbear’s Nest |
| Rain Dancer | Purchased from Arron, the first merchant you find when entering Druid Grove |
| Silver Pendant | Loot from a skeleton Northwest of the Roadside Cliffs (X: 154 and Y: 368) |
Thankfully, you only need to give him three items in Act One, meaning he won’t ask for magic items in Acts Two or Three. So, it’s just easier to give him the magic items you no longer need or use.
The magic items in the table above are the ones I stopped using or didn’t even need when I found them early in Act One. So, I kept three on hand for Gale, gave them to him when he asked for them, and sold the rest.
If you don’t give Gale magic items, he will eventually steal them from you.
Bug fix: What to do if Gale isn’t consuming the magical items?
If you’re experiencing a bug where Gale isn’t consuming the magical items, there is a way to fix this:
- Send the item from your inventory to Gale’s.
- Right-click on the magic item and select the “Consume” option.
Gale will consume the magic from the item. If you don’t see the consume option, you may need to try another magical item until this bug is officially resolved. Whether you give Gale items is up to you; however, it’s an excellent way to get rid of your unwanted magical items and gain favor with Gale.
Gale is one of those companions you either love or hate, but as he’s a versatile wizard, he’s helpful in several party compositions. So, to gain favor with him and stop him from exploding or stealing from you, these are seven of the best magic items to give him in BG3.
