How to Romance Gale in BG3: Complete Wizard Romance Guide (Act 1-3)

Act 1: The Weave Scene

1. Recruit Gale. Give him magic items when he asks (3 total).
2. At camp: Gale offers to teach you magic. The Weave scene. Choose the romantic option (imagine walking hand-in-hand, or kissing him). This initiates the romance.
3. At the tiefling party: talk to Gale. He’s romantic and poetic.

Act 2: Elminster’s Visit

Elminster delivers Mystra’s command: Gale must sacrifice himself. Gale spirals. Support him. Tell him you want him to live. Romance-specific dialogue: “I don’t want you to die. I want you to stay with me.”

Act 3: The Boat Scene

Gale takes you on a boat ride under the stars. He conjures an illusion of the night sky. This is his most romantic scene. He’s vulnerable, afraid, and grateful you’re with him. Choose: “I love you.”

Endgame: Crown or Forgiveness

Gale faces his choice:

• Return the Crown to Mystra: Gale becomes a professor at Blackstaff Academy. In the epilogue: he proposes marriage. Happily ever after.
• Reclaim the Crown: Gale challenges Mystra. Dangerous path with a less satisfying romance ending.

Best romance ending: Return the Crown. Professor Gale. Marriage proposal.
