==Act 2==
The player will run into the wizard [[Elminster]] either immediately prior to Act 2 on the path to the Shadow-Cursed Lands via the [[Mountain Pass]], or immediately aftering entering Act 2 via the Underdark/Grymforge route. He reveals an important update involving Gale's relationship with Mystra, who has one last favor to ask of him. This will impact much of the player character's interactions with Gale moving forward.

Gale's quest events during Act 3 in [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline, and the choices the player makes during, have major implications for his romance conclusion at the end of the game, particularly in regards to if the player encourages Gale to seek and use the [[Crown of Karsus]] or not. Failing to finish Gale's questline before defeating [[the Netherbrain]] will also affect the ending.

Failing to finish Gale's questline before defeating [[the Netherbrain]] will also affect the ending.
===Possible Endings===
{{SpoilerWarning}}
If [[the Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player is partnered with Gale, the player may get one of the following romance end scenes depending on their choices and previous interactions with Gale:
# If the player completed [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline '''AND''' discouraged Gale away from using the [[Crown of Karsus]]: Gale will ask you to move in with him and marry him. Accept and you two will live happily-ever-after as Tressym parents to [[Tara]] at his mansion in Waterdeep. Did he mention it has a library?
# If the player '''did not''' complete [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline '''AND/OR''' encouraged Gale to use the [[Crown of Karsus]] and follow his dreams at any point: Gale decides to actively pursue his aspirations to become a god to spurn his ex-girlfriend [[Mystra]]. He will tell the player he is going to be pretty busy with his side gig of diving for rocks, but that perhaps one day he might make you his chosen if you play your cards right. For now, however, he bids you farewell. Despite what he tells you during Act 3 romance interactions, Gale seems to have had no intention to include you in his plans for godhood. (Note: This ending will trigger even with a successful persuasion roll for Gale to reconsider using the Crown right before the Netherbrain fight if you have previously encouraged him to use it.)
# If the player decides to become the Absolute instead of destroying the tadpoles, there will not be a romance-specific end scene.
# If the player decides that Gale should sacrifice himself to destroy the Netherbrain, Gale will teleport the player and your other party members far away and make the ultimate sacrifice. Gale will die and be remembered as a hero, but there will not be a romance-specific end scene or unique dialogue with other party members regarding your romance.
