Gale will be transported to Mystra's domain where he finally meets his former patron and lover. An origin Gale can take control of the conversation as usual, while a companion Gale will converse with her on his own. Mystra informs Gale that the piece of Weave he sought to return to her was actually a part of the Karsite Weave and it carries with it Karsus’ relentless desire for ambition. This new form of Weave was born during Karsus' final moments as he wrestled magic away from Mystryl and briefly ascended to godhood. It cannot be contained, it will never be sated, and in order to prevent it from blowing up, Mystra allowed it to feed on the true Weave while she devised a solution. With the Crown's reforging as a very real possibility, she implores Gale to return it to her as its danger cannot be understated. She promises to cure Gale's condition if he does so, even offering him to become her Chosen once more. Unsure about what to do, Gale thanks Mystra and leaves pensive. Back on the mortal plane, Gale recounts what transpired in Mystra's realm, and says there's not much they can do until they defeat the elder brain. | Gale will be transported to Mystra's domain where he finally meets his former patron and lover.

As the battle for Baldur's Gate rages on, the party will arrive at the elder brain's brainstem. While they prepare for the final battle, Gale can be approached to discuss the imminent fight and the netherese orb he still carries within. Depending on past interactions with him, Gale may offer the party, or be convinced | As the battle for Baldur's Gate rages on, the party will arrive at the elder brain's brainstem. While they prepare for the final battle, Gale can be approached to discuss the imminent fight and the netherese orb he still carries within. Depending on past interactions with him, Gale may offer the party, or can be convinced, to deal with the elder brain on his own, doing as Mystra instructed and detonating the orb inside to destroy the Absolute for good. If the party decides to go through with this plan, Gale will say his goodbyes and teleport them away. He climbs the stem on his own and stabs himself in the chest, triggering a magical explosion that annihilates the elder brain for good. | ||
If the offer is declined, and the party decides to battle the elder brain instead, Gale will be present during the Absolute's downfall. As it crashes in the river Chionthar, the Crown of Karsus breaks into pieces, sinking to the depths of the river. While the party gathers victorious, Gale announces his intentions to search the river for the pieces of the Crown. Depending on how he was treated in past conversations, and whether the party supported his ambitions or not, he may intend to reforge the Crown to ascend to godhood or simply to return it to Mystra. Whatever the case, he first desires to celebrate their victory in a nearby tavern, completing his companion quest. | If the offer is declined, and the party decides to battle the elder brain instead, Gale will be present during the Absolute's downfall.
