While facing the Netherbrain in {{Quest|Confront the Elder Brain}}, if Gale is in the party, there is a chance to confer with him on what to do once they have arrived on top the brain. Right before climbing the brainstem to the brain, the party realizes that they need not confront the brain at all. Gale can simply use his Netherese Orb to destroy the Crown and the brain in one fell swoop. Gale notices the hesitation and asks what’s the matter. Gale’s question can either be dismissed as nothing, or a choice can be made – "Wait. We could end this now if you unleashed the orb." Gale hesitates, but will detonate the orb with a {{Ability Check|Persuasion|30}}.

He will then offer to willingly sacrifice himself and you can accept. If Gale is successfully persuaded or you accept his offer, he teleports the party away, then climbs the brainstem by himself. Gale stabs himself in the chest and detonates the Orb, sacrificing himself and destroying the brain in the process. | ||
Otherwise, the battle commences as normal and the party defeats the Netherbrain without the orb. In this case, after the brain’s defeat, Gale remarks that the crown has sunk into the River Chionthar. He’ll need to fish it up, but first his wishes to go to a tavern and celebrate their victory. Gale can be persuaded to turn over the crown to Mystra and become her Chosen once again, or pursue the crown himself in the hopes of becoming a god. | Otherwise, the battle commences as normal and the party defeats the Netherbrain without the orb.
