Summary
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Gale’s story in Baldur’s Gate 3.]
Gale is a great character inBaldur’s Gate 3and a powerful wizard, but his lack of armor and relatively small pool of hit points mean that he will probably end up dead sooner or later.Luckily, this is not a problem, as a part of his personal story actually revolves around the occurrence of his deathandhis subsequent resurrection. Given Gale’s explosive nature, it makes sense that he would go out of his way to create contingencies in the event of his untimely death, and one such contingency could actually be a boon to the party.
The first time that Gale fully dies, an illusory version of him appears nearby and speaks to the player. It tells them that Gale must be brought back to life and that Gale has a scroll oftrue resurrectionin a pouch in his inventory.The illusion gives players a series of increasingly complicated and comical instructionsto unlock the magic pouch and get the scroll (which is technically not in the pouch, but with a magma mephit that a flute inside the pouch can summon). However, wise players will avoid actually using the scroll on Gale in that instance.
Baldur’s Gate 3: Every Permanent Buff And How To Get It
In Baldur’s Gate 3, permanent buffs are those that persist through death and without a time limit, and here’s how to get each one across the acts.
There Is Only One Scroll Of True Resurrection In The Game
This Is The Best Healing Item In Baldur’s Gate 3
While it may sound strange,it is far better for players to avoid using the scroll oftrue resurrectionon Gale and instead revive him some other way. This is because this particular scroll is far better than any other healing item the game offers, topped only by thecleric ability"divine intervention." Instead of bringing a dead character back to life with one hit point, as standardrevivifyscrolls do, thetrue resurrectionscroll brings them back instantly with full hit points and all of their class resources, such as spell slots, recharged.
Thetrue resurrectionscroll brings them back instantly with full hit points and all of their class resources.
This makes thetrue resurrectionscroll truly invaluable asa way to fully recharge a character mid-combat without the multiple-turn penalty imposed by things like potions of angelic slumber. As such, using it to bring Gale back up when the party is out of combat and likely not in any immediate danger isn’t the most efficient use of party supplies. Especially onBG3’s Honour Mode, where some of the boss fights can be incredibly difficult, saving something like this can be super beneficial.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is packed full of powerful items for players to hunt down and wield, some of which are wonderfully broken in the best possible way.
How To Revive Gale Without Using His Scroll
The Wizard Takes No Offense To Good Resource Management
Luckily,it is very easy to revive Gale without using this limited and powerful resource. A simple scroll ofrevivifywill do the trick just as well, as will paying a visit toWithers and paying him to bring Gale back. Either of these options achieves the same thing as using thetrue resurrectionscroll in this context, saving Gale’s life, as long as the party is not in any immediate danger.
If you do fail to get the scroll, you’re able to actually use any other Scroll of Revivify to bring Gale back to life. The only difference between the True Scroll of Resurrection and the Scroll of Revivify is that the former restores a person back to full health.
Gale won’t complain or even comment on this approach to bringing him back, as his dialogue is the same no matter how he is revived. He will express gratitude to the player for saving him (and the lives of everyone nearby in turn) and won’t be upset if thetrue resurrectionscroll is saved. Andif Gale dies again in the fight against Ketheric or the much later one against Ansur,the player might have the chance to use it on him anywayin theirBaldur’s Gate 3playthrough.
