She takes you back if you're a tentacle monster but not when you're a human. Guess she has a preference.
maybe if you dont pursue any romance? then maybe shed take human gale back
She takes him back as a chosen but asks Gale for "patience" if he is unromanced and asks to become lovers again.
My guess is that Ilithid Gale made a greater sacrifice so allowing him into Elysium (essentially Neutral Good heaven) is a fitting reward compared to human Gale that made no such sacrifice but gets his position as chosen back with the possibility of becoming Mystra`s lover again (maybe)
@@Fincarn5 He is an Ilithid and soulless that is when he dies he is gone, poof and do not pass go and kinda useless to gods. The offer he gets less romantically put is to "die" leave faerun, get his soul back and go to the meh NG heaven and get his old job back without fuckbuddy privliges. Not a super great deal but not the worst.
For good reason. Mind flayers have no souls. Her reasoning is that she will restore it, but doing so means he literally can’t return to the mortal realms. Probably because if he did it would piss off Ao and be seen as divine intervention. It seems to be her rewarding his sacrifice the best way she can. If he doesn’t sacrifice his soul, she has no reason to offer that.
@@coldfusion1679 Maybe. It is inconsistent on to wether or not Ilithids have souls or not.
Some sources claim they become petitioners on the city of the dead. This is also why they can manifest a deity (Ilsensine), which they would not be able to do if they were trully souless.
Regardless on to wether or not it is a sacrifice of form or his very soul was destroyed when he became an Ilithid, it should be noted a sacrifice was still made.
Telling the Nethebrain 'It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance' is such a Gale thing to do honestly XDDD
Gale: *can cast Fly*
Also Gale: *climbs up a 100 meter giant brainstem instead of flying*
Accurate to the game’s awful flight mechanics😂
@@professionalbutler533 To be fair it's hard to implement flight in a point and click game, the third dimension doesn't have an easy way click it and you only have so much movement.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket I would have just hoped they could implement the scroll wheel for that.
@@professionalbutler533The game flight mechanic isn’t awful, it does the job very well for a top down game.
@@ni9274 they likely could have just made a z axis that you can scroll up or down on. They have all other aspects of 3 dimensions in the game already.
When he is the main character: *proper ending, consequences and final confrontation with mystra*
When he is a companion: _ummm, sooo imma get the crown now 😅🤓 bye_
Yeah, and actually becomes a god. Like, wtf?
well yeah, that is the point of being able to play as the companion. So you can finish off their endings from their viewpoint. Helps with adding replayability value
Netherbrain: I am god.
Gale: I have nuke.
Interesting how Mystra looks down on a mortal trying to become a god considering how she was a mortal. Her lover Kelemvor also used to be a mortal. She also used to have a servant god Azuth who was a mortal.
And Velsharoon, the patron of necromancy was a mortal too!
This the 4th version of Mystra which is an amalgation of the memories Mystryl (presumably), Mystra and Midnight. Midnight, the mortal who ascended, was the third version who was killed by Cyric.
@@mizuno81 No this is still Midnight, she survived.
Breaking news! Hypocrites are hypocritical again.
And to top it off, her murderer whom caused the spellplague was also a god that was once human.
If I was Gale: “I will use the Crown of Karsus to become a god and heal my comrades of their non-illithid afflictions. I will give Karlach a new heart, Astarion a way to return to normal and no longer fear the sun or hunger, and Tav who became a mindflayer, perhaps find a way to return them to normal. I want to aid them in whatever they may need. Then I’ll surrender the crown. Unless you can already do that or something Mystra…”
The problem is that Gale wants that but he will never have it, neither would any of us. Becoming a God means you bow to Ao and change fundamentally. There are many gods who ascended from humans with good intentions. But you lose your humanity when you become a god. So your intentions would change and you wouldn’t want that anymore.
@@selty IDK about losing your humanity just by becoming a god. I mean, Kelemvor went into it wanting to be a nice guy and give the people who normally slip through the cracks a chance. And he gave it his best shot, but it panned out *really* poorly. He was also forced to acknowledge that he couldn't even completely live up to his own morality code and decided that, under the circumstances, he didn't really have a right to judge others.
Basically, the thing that made him change from the man he was, was the weight of responsibility, different perspective, and the weight years. and I kind of expect that most people would change pretty radically if put into the position of being a *literal* god.
More like bad writing. The gods were more human than Kelemvor and were never judged. The writing of Kelemvor removing the wall must have rubbed someone wrong in the company and they came up with bad reasoning to "bring the writing back" in line.@@AsaelTheBeast
Ao: "and I took that personally" _/makes Gale mortal again_
Mystra could probably do all that, she could have cured him of the orb the whole time she just didn’t until there was something in it for her. Freaking indifferent gods!
Even if we don't play as Gale I think we should be able to see what happens to him at the very end - we get a conclusion for every other companion's personal quest, why not him?!
wish they really made the cutscene where you become human again and live in Elysium
I think the godhood part would have played out better if gale just took the win and left. I don't like that both options resulted in her just smiting him. New god and weave moving forward would have been nice lore.
Indeed Gale might make a fine God, he's a pretty decent guy
But I don't think they can actually change Realmslore; Would be cool tho
@@mikeransom9210 yeah WOTC gave them some pretty strict rules when dealing with the lore. Im sure they wanted to try an add a god ending but with how anal WOTC are its better to just follow their rule set. Hell id say considering what Larian was able to put into this I bet they pushed WOTC far considering they didnt even want to give them the IP.
the epilogue just said fuck your take and WOTC@@heyjoji1954
well you got your wish lmao
06:20 this probably most logical representation how powerful beings fight. Staring competition the one with more power wins.
It really is kind of difficult to display struggles of divine magical power on a higher level of existence then what your feeble human brain can comprehend.
She is probably the biggest hypocrite in the entire game, or even the Forgotten realms universe. Hate her with all my passion.
We just need to assend a few more wizards to take her out. With a tag team effort.
you miss his voicelines when you don't play him but let him blow up. its actually so honestly heart warming.
Can you do the other origin characters? This was amazing. I had no idea this was a thing. So much content ill never see
@@vond5829 so they have their own but you can't do them?
@@kwisatzhaderach88I don’t know what that guy was trying to say. You can play as every origin character plus a custom origin called the dark urge. All of which bring unique dialogue
Wack how Gale can’t have a good ending where he’s a god. Mystra just *has* to ruin it
what else do you expect from a female god
Considering nobody can become a god without Ao's explicit permission there's very little chance Gale could ever become a god.
@@S3Cs4uN8 Considering the high number of gods in the forgotten realms setting, I’m confused by why you think that he’d be against someone ascending.
There are plenty of mortals that have ascended to godhood in the setting, you’re talking nonsense.
@@S3Cs4uN8so many many mortals become gods in dnd. AO really just generally feels like an after thought, I mean look at Vecna
Ao only intervenes when the balance between DnD gods is at risk - for example, if you kill a god without replacement at hand@@S3Cs4uN8
I guess they didn't want there to be any contention over who the god/godess of magic was in D&D moving forward, so they had Gale lose to Mystra.
Most of the endings directly conflict with existing canon: all the ones where the brain survives and the multiverse is dominated by illithid or Bhaal; Orpheus living and starting a githyanki crusade; the devil taking the crown and dominating Hell, then starting a conquest of all worlds... That's all much more disrupting than just some guy replacing Mystra.
The reason Gale loses is because that fits his story better. He was one of the strongest wizards in the world, he got too greedy and lost it all, then got a chance to regain it all. If you the player choose to make the same mistake again you'll get a bad ending, if you show wisdom and let the impossible ambition go you're rewarded
@@exantiuse497 I just finished my first playthrough and Gale went completely out of character considering the journey and dialogues we had before.
He was my romance option, he told me before that he would refuse to seek the crown, he confronted mystra for his main quest, told me that I was better than her and that he prefers staying with me... But in the end he didn't. He did a complete turn around in the epilogue. I even persuaded him with a 30 (or 20 I don't remember correctly) dice roll to REFUSE seeking the crown. No, it was useless. In the end he went and seek the crown and nothing I could say would prevent it. I love the game, I do not understand if this is a bug or not, but I swear that prior to the ending he felt like a completely different character
one of the main themes of the game is the cost of pursuing power, it's not surprising that the end result is punishing to Gale
@@camillobenedetti2484 Same happened for me - there was a bug (hopefully resolved in one patch according to patch notes) that wrongly flagged agreeing to give the crown to Rafael.
@@camillobenedetti2484 I guess it depends on your actions, to me he was "like i should not do this, it tempts me tho". And i said "yeah don't", no check, nothing. He just did not do it.
Gale might very well replace Azuth, an actual Human Wizard so powerful and interesting to Mystra she willingly made him a god (of Wizards, not Magic).
Albeit Azuth wasn't exactly a saint either, he had ambitions to become a god by imprisoning the last wizard god Savras.
But maybe this time Mystra didn't want another Karsus event after the last one hurt so much, so she conceded to let him become one instead as a compromise. A lesser diety, but still a god and loyal to her.
he can't replace azuth, as of 1489 Azuth is once again sharing her realm, asmodeus was dying because it turns out you can't just eat a living god, the indigestion took 100 years, but it came, Asmodeus devoured the dead got Nana Sin, the old Unther god of the moon, to replace the spark Azuth took with him
@@override367 didn't Azuth become a god by imprisoning the last wizard god Savras by just imprisoning him in a stick until Savras said uncle and let him be the new Wizard God with Mystra's blessing?
If he has Mystra's blessing, what stops Gale from doing the same to Azuth?
@@broseidon2519 She made Azuth a god though
@@broseidon2519 unfortunately, not in BG3 he can't, sadly.
Gale is strong but he is not on level of Elminster, Khelben or Shas Tam. At least not without Crown, which he gives up if he doesn't want to gets killed by Mystra. There are many Chosen of Mystra on Faerun but I don't think anyone bar Elminster could replace Azuth, and I don't really think Elminster wants that.
I dislike the fact that he loses to Mystra. I'd have preferred a more uncertain ending to their battle, or even the possibility of either result happening. There's no particular reason why he shouldn't be able to, Mystra has perished at least 3 times including Mystryl.
Gale isn’t even level 20 lol. It would be absolutely insane if Gale could actually win a battle against Mystra even with the crown.
Also the spell Karsus used to unmake Mystryl was a level 12 spell. Mystra has made it so the highest level spell a caster can cast is 9th level. And Gale isn’t even close to that.
@@TheMasterUnitythere's a timeskip between destroying the nether brain and Gale speaking to Mystra. We don't know how long it is. The game makes it sound like there isn't but there must be since there's no way, Gale can just restore the crown just in an instant.
@@kaanmuhammedgunes1879 Unless Gale had some grand adventure in that timeframe, there is still no way he'd be close at all to defeating Mystra.
The only caster that i think would come even close would be Elminster, but even he isn't as strong as Karsus was.
@@TheMasterUnity He used to be a powerful wizard but for whatever reason the tadpoles made all of the characters level 1 for arbitrary game reasons. Now that he was back to being a powerful wizard it would make more sense. That said, the goddess is prepared this time for treachery.
@@serronserron1320 For Gale the tadpole isn't what made him level 1, the orb was feeding off of his connection to the weave. Mystra mentions this when you talk to her in Act 3. Level 12 is very powerful, but nowhere near 'usurp the goddess of magic' powerful.
I do kind of wish the ending where Gale decides to create his own pantheon was more ambiguous, because I don't think Ao would approve of Mystra smiting him then. But the ending where Gale directly challenges Mystra? He should absolutely die every time.
he remained a god, the god of ambition. if you choose that option she will not like it but she wont kill you either.
so sad gale lost the 1v1
Gale: Ambatoblow
interesting fact: if during the game you have not started an affair with any of your companions, and you tell mistra that you want to be lovers again, she will answer “be patient. everything has its time.”
At least my boy gets a happy ending with his magic mommy.
wouldn't call it a happy ending tbh
she groomed and abused him……
*His abuser who "took an interest in him from a very young age" and told him to kill himself, causing every infected person to turn into a mindflayer. What a happy ending that is.
Couldn’t have said it any better myself.
The simp ending lmao 😂
Really wish there was one more option: Gale not challenging Mystra for Godhood, but instead carving out his own little niche separate from her.
I think it might not be possible with him posessing the Karsite Weave. could be that his existence as a god is directly a challenge to Mystra. However gale being able to go even this close to godhood is pretty stupid retcon or misunderstanding of previous lore.
I must have shat the bed here, i finished with Gale had good approval with my crew but all i saw was Laz leave as she was gonna be hunted and my girl Karlach burn to a crisp.
Since the new epilogue stuff came out, could you check to see what's changed since you recorded this? Like, if there's a Withers scene when choosing the sacrifice ending? Or if you can even go to the party if you choose godhood?
i wanted to become king and rule together with gortash but seems like that is not a ending
I have to give him credit where its due, he kept his word and didn’t betray us until the very end, probably because he didn’t get the chance but even so.
So if he reforges the Crown his appearance changes, his skin becomes blue, like fane's from D:OS2 back when he was alive.
So you can still salvage the soul withint the corpse of an illithid, once it dies the soul is free ?
Fuck that God Gale all the way I’ll back him up plan a proper fight when he’s stronger ambition more people have that then magic
Ngl, this Mystra is kind of a b***h. Mystryl was something else.
If I understand it correctly, Mystra could take Gale back to human form, meaning she COULD have erased all the Mindflayers and destroyed the Absolute but she didn't because they don't care about humans????
if she did that io would have just deleted the world and reset everything
Gods are not allowed to intervene in mortal affairs
In Dnd lore there exists an overgod called Ao. He determines who can and can not become a god. He also limited how much gods could intervene in mortal affairs. I think that was the result of the gods mucking up the world and Ao having to step in since both gods and mortals made a mess of the world.
@@Auesis Yet throughout the whole game shar directly meddles with everything PERSONALLY, i can excuse the 3 gods making the absolute because they did it through their chosen yet Shar keeps PERSONALLY being a nuisance, having hold of a whole land and imprisoning other gods kids and NOTHING is done, there's zero punishment so this whole notion is just bs
@@NM-jd9ckthe Shadow Curse and Aylin's imprisonment were done through Ketheric. She didn't break Ao's rules. If she did, she would have killed Shadowheart immediately when she disobeyed.
I feel like Gale is the actual main protagonist of Baulders Gate 3 with all these endings. The best ending for me is when he gives up the crown as an Illithid and just cheat that curse with Mystra’s help to be human again. I wish they made a tv show of this game.
I do like that the “best” ending here is Gale either sacrificing himself or surrendering his newfound sources of power. I like to think the whole trajectory of Gale’s story is learning when ambition is appropriate, and when it is best to give up things for himself for the sake of the greater good. Could Gale become a god? Maybe. But why should he? He already has everything he could want.
I am DYING to know what the name of the soundtrack that plays when you meet Mystra in the astral realm??? It's beautiful!!!
Wash my dreams away, Borislav Slavov
mortal ascension to godhood always kind of undermines the concept of gods in my opinion.
Finished as gale yesterday. I'm so pissed that you don't get to know what happens to your companions and have just a short scene with your chosen romance. Great game, Sloppy ending.
Wait, now I have to know. With Patch 5 how does the epilogue conclude for Gale if you ascended as an Illithid?
Astarion extremely disapprove the first one
how do you surrender the crown to her? only ever got the ending where it lands in the river. do you have to play him to get than ending?
yes all origin characters have a special ending if you start the campaign with them
@@usurpererenyeagar4587 Oh!!
for gale to become illithid does he have to be main character or can he be companion?
main character
Did you try to fight Mistra as Illithid? It's seems you should have a chance acording to last battle)))
What happens when you try to be a god but not take mystaras place
she still kills you
There can be only one
What was the OST used in 5:40? I hope to use it for inspiration. Someone help me please.
"The god of Ambition"
So that's when I started blasting.
Professor Gale is the only way, or maybe corpse Gale if you're still mad about him eating your magic shoes, etc.
I like Gale, when he isn't an all knowing prick.
And i changed Gale's class to a barbarian
Can illithid Gale survive the challenge to become a god? Or is it the same self destructive fate?
I didn't try, but I am certain it will have the same destructive fate.
Replacing a major deity is a huge deal. Mystra has all the authority and the whole weave supporting her. Along with being a greater deity and thousands of followers giving her more power. Just one artefact won't make you a deity 😂
illithid has the mind, but not the power. so it maks sense an alien still can't challange a god in their own realm.
@@GOLDWXNG That can make sense depending on how said "power" is fed and received. I imagine that, as stated by Withers, who btw is Jergal, the god that actually stepped down voluntarily for the Dead Three to ascend from mortality into godhood, mindflayers do not have souls, which makes the big evil plan of the Dead Three to use illithids as pawns kinda worthless. Gods needs souls to adore them, to live by their commandments through their own volition. Gods need mortal souls to surrender to their bidding for that is how their power is "harvested", otherwise they just die and fade away. Also, we could consider that Gods also need to have souls themselves to actually project their divine powers, which are intrinsically derived from the universal cosmology built by Ao, the overgod. Being that the case, an illithid, which is a being derived from the Far Realms beyond this universe and any crystal sphere, a creature deprived of a soul, cannot "harvest" power from adoration, cannot attain divinity in any way. So yeah, with this head canon I just made up I can accept your theory lol
you need Ao's approval
illithid Gale loses the challenge, tried it today.
How does the epilogue party play out when you choose to go to Elysium as an illithid? Does it even happen for you?
Karsus legacy is very cool, he is still alive as well right?
wdym? Karsus died for at least some thousands of years ago
@@myrkulite I read some stuff that he was transformed into a stone.
That is spirit is locked in hell?
I think i also read long ago that the goods keept him locked up.
But i simple dont remember its so long ago i read the novels.
@@Storlans while asking Raphael what would he do with the crown or why do he need it he says something like "I'm even ready to find karsuses soul somewhere in hell to show him what his crown is capable of". I don't remember that dialogue so i tell you something close to that
@@myrkulite You can find Karsus soul, or a rememberance of it, in Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undertide. He is in a kind of Hell.
@@javierestrugo1469he is being tormented by succubus in that game, but you free him so he can help you against one of the bosses of the last act. After you kill that boss, Karsus leaves to... somewhere
This game has themes all over on how power corrupts people so I’m glad godhood ascension is a bad ending.
I'm grateful for this video I'm at the point where i have to convince gale to pursue godhood or forgiveness and i was going to choose godhood assuming he could pull it off it's sad to see he just dies in that route but at Least now i can avoid it
Ok but did anyone else want Gale to become the new God of Magic? I think the Forgotten Realms could do with a dude spellcaster God
Or a completely opposite God of magic where the Karsis Weave comes into play.
ya that@@SirDankleberry
Can't he just be a god? Why does he need to fight Mystra? Like Karsus Weave is a different weave like Shar's shadow weave.
Funny enough if Gale would have just left Mystra alone he would have been fine.
The fact he even managed to ascend to godhood in the first place meant that Ao approved, so there really isn’t much Mystra could have done if Gale never tried to fight her.
I’m honestly surprised such an ending does not exist for him. Instead all he can do is stupidly challenge a goddess of magic in her home plane in a head-on fight. I get that’s he’s ambitious and even arrogant, but he’s never been portrayed as completely lacking sense and self-preservation, even when he fucked up in life.
@@codysellers4151game can’t be perfect I guess, a lot of routs I wish we could of taken but can’t
Do you only get the cutscene of Mystra if you pick him as the Origin character?
Yes. If you pick anything else he just says he's going to fish up the Crown.
Gale of water deep, the end of his journey ends up being dropped deep into water.
What happened if you pick being the god of ambition?
I heard Gale does become a god in one of the endings, Is it a new ending or I misread ?
Tsundere Mystra
Gale looks like a character in sims 0:50
So "SPOILER". After Mystra returns you to material plane, you get to go to the Jergal party correct?
Is it possible to kill gale after he becomes god in the epilogue?
as illithid trying to become of god you also die? seems weird, as illithid controls stones much better then human
1:40 and then they see the sun rise ... 👁👄👁
How do I ensure Gale becomes a god
To be honest if Gale could have become a god I would be annoyed. If my Gorion's Ward ascension is not canon then I forbid Gale to ascend too.
Gale: MYSTRA AKBAR
I got a different Gale ending. He left the crown in the sea and proposed marriage. Mystra didn't appear at all.
These are endings you get when you play AS Gale.
so there are 6 real endings? i read something about 17.000 endings an thought thats a lot of simple lines changes and jpegs🤣
These 6 endings are for if you play as gale. There are other characters with their own endings plus custom characters.
@@GottaLoveShuckle thanks
If you romance him (and do a lot of other pro-Gale, pro-party member stuff) you get a marriage proposal ending. These are all terrible endings.
You've got it confused. This video shows the endings you get if you complete the game AS Gale the Origin character, not as a Custom character who romanced Gale.
1:40 in a nutshell: czcams.com/video/eAoR4h6SQGg/video.htmlsi=isndNujiQxiODYVw
Is the Godhood ending different, if Gale is illithid?
I always wondered why they made Mystra so meh as compared to many other npc's. She's a goddess and hyped up by Gale and yet looks like a middle-aged soccer-mom in bad Chun Lee cosplay at best.
while I find your description stupid, she's the god of an concept of force best accessed academically, who lives in a library. Not every goddess should look like a walmart aphrodite and every god like a thor cosplayer. Their aesthetic should match who they are.
I mean alot of D&D's gods aren't really crazy looking. Helm is literally a dude in knight armor.
Ao, the overgod is literally described as an average looking dude with a beard and a fancy robe.
Her aesthetic really suits her. Not like she's the goddess of beauty, or the like
@@jenni5104that’s because he likes balance right, So even his appearance is balanced (average dude)?
You could argue that no one transforming into an illithid and Gale blowing himself up tae f*ck is the best ending, but ... he states before that the explosion would be big enough to take out a city the size of Waterdeep, so I mean ... you just killed literally everyone in Baldur's Gate and it's suburbs ...
lmao
Mystra is such a jobber
nah gale is. she bitchslaps him if he challenges her.
Sovengarde from 2011 looks better than this
