The wizard Gale in Baldur's Gate 3 has a very unpleasant illness, because of which the young man needs to be constantly nourished artifacts. In this guide, we will take a detailed look at why exactly Gale needs magical items, where to get them, and also what will happen if you don’t give him the relics in time.
Why does Gale need artifacts in Baldur's Gate 3
Trying to impress the goddess Mystra, Gale created an unusual sphere that was deeply embedded in his body. As a result of this, the wizard is forced to absorb the magic of objects in which the Weave is contained. The objects themselves are destroyed.
Using this method, the young man stabilizes the sphere in his body. If you don’t do this, Gale will simply explode.
How to give the artifact to Gale
When the wizard has another need to absorb an artifact, he will immediately grab his chest, and an exclamation mark will appear above his head. You will also see the inscription “Magic hunger” under the health line.
As soon as this happens, enter into dialogue with Gale and tell him that you have an item that interests the wizard. After this, you will be able to select an artifact from the equipment menu, which you will give to Gale. Having indicated the required magic item, click the “Donate” button, and the young man will absorb it.
Before handing over this or that item, check to see if any of your heroes are wearing it.
Which artifacts are suitable for Gale
The wizard will absorb any artifact that has the appropriate postscript.
However, there are rare items that give increases to stats or endow heroes with certain skills. It is better to save them for yourself and other team members, since if you give Gale an item, you will not be able to get it back. It absorbs the relic, completely destroying it beyond repair.

- First of all, the wizard will have a magical hunger status, which will interfere with your endurance tests.
- After this, he will start stealing. In addition, his attitude towards you will sharply deteriorate, which means you will not be able to start a romantic relationship with him.
- In the end, the young man will make a deal with Raphael and thus get rid of his problem. However, he will remain in your group.
How to resurrect Gale< /h3>
In order to bring the wizard back to life, you should contact the Withered One, whom you can meet in the Dark Crypt. For this service he will take two hundred gold pieces.
What to do if Gale does not take artifacts
Some players experienced problems with difficulties with the fact that the wizard did not always take magical items, while being in a state of magical hunger.
In order to avoid this, it is recommended to keep artifacts in Gale's inventory. When your companion suddenly becomes ill, you can easily offer him a magic item by entering into dialogue with him.
You can also open Gale's inventory, select an artifact and absorb it through the appropriate command ” Eat.”
