@@IrisGlowingBlue Good point. I studied just long enough to get the flute to make noise, but you want me to play a specific note? I’ll play a bunch and you pick out the ones you want, OK? We would all be dead.
I love how Gale's projection explains absolutely nothing about why he _needs_ to be resurrected, gives you instructions that are impossible for pretty much anyone to follow, then expects you to not just walk off with a very rare and valuable item. Bless this man.
@@rettbull9100 well "you cant make something out of nothing" is a estabilished law from both our universe and Faerun, my guess is itd be as "nutritive" as eating your own waste
The first time this happened to me, we had just finished a fight, Gale and I were dead so Astarion was talking to him. Went through all of Gales chatting just to have Astarion and Karlach die at the end of the conversation due to burn damage!!! I could of just used a scroll of revivify but Gales long winded chatting actually caused a TPK. 💀
Almost the exact same thing happened to me expect I was the cloud of knives that got him. His conversation forced my other characters to stay put in the cloud and almost everyone ended up dying, lmfao.
I was jumping into the Underdark from the spider cave to see what would happen. I only made myself a feather fall potion, which killed the rest of my teammates and triggered the Gale projection. I wanted to see where this went, so I reloaded and gave feather fall potions to everyone except Gale (I could only make 3 anyway.) before jumping. Then in trying to leave his necrotic death aura, we triggered a fight with the minotaurs and had to kill them before resurrecting Gale.
ok so you can actually keep the flute if you resurrect gale via withers/a regular revivify scroll and dont complete the steps to get the scroll of true resurrection, which is what i wouldve had to do regardless because gales soul actually glitched into the ocean and i couldnt target him shdfgjbklfds both i and my guy are gay so the comment abt him being handsome would unfortunately be lost on him, but i Do wish you well on your quest to yeet gale and play the flute for karlach 🌟
In fairness, revivify in BG3 is a lot more powerful than it is in 5e proper. In D&D, it's limited to a minute after death, and can't bring back missing parts. Not even important missing parts, like one's head. If you're an archmage setting up this much of an emergency plan, you're not gonna skimp on the part that it's there to... defend, I guess? The fact that it requires so much hoop-jumping is the truly bewildering part.
Gale's projection having you repeat the instructions back is me trying to get my fifth graders to write a paragraph in complete sentences with punctuation.
i was so taken aback when she said that honestly ashdfgvbjkfldsa ma'am gale is fully dead now might not be the time. it's always time to play the flute though
ok so gales soul actually glitched into the ocean and i couldnt access it so i had to resurrect him via withers anyway shsdfjkds but i love the idea of just straight up telling him that so much i wish you could do that too
I never got his ghost when he died. The first time he died was in the barn in Act 1. Some guy was guarding the secret organization hideout and I failed a skill check and he dame near blew the barn up. I don't know how I survived but Gale and everyone in my party died. No ghost and I had to pay Wither to bring everyone back. 2nd time he was near death was in goblin camp. I revived him but then he had a necrotic aura that was killing everyone around him. I had to kill him myself then have Wither bring him back to get rid of the aura. I never got instructions like this.
technically by dnd mechanics yes but alas it doesnt work that way in game. withers should also cure it bc when he revives a companion he also uses true resurrection
I like to think the engine is not only a part of her body but her soul. Here's why: True resurrection doesn't fix her. When she dies, Withers says, "her soul burned so brightly, that even the Gods had to look away" She is able to use soul coins by inserting them into the engine. Hell is super messed up, and while Karlach had no choice, the person who owns her soul (and devils who own souls in general) seem to dislike losing those souls. Makes sense there would be a "I tried to ruin you forever, because if I can't have you, no one can" kind of vibe.
It would also cure vampirism as True Resurrection is one of the two ways that you can heal it in DND (using the Wish spell allows it too). I think True Resurrection has a 200 year time limit though, so Astarion would be pushing it lol
@@razrv3lctalking actual Dnd: wish is an extremely high level spell. Good luck finding a wizard willing to cast it. Not sure if it’s the same in 5e though.

i actually think it's because in dnd lore revivify is only functional up to a minute after death; if itd been longer than a minute it would have been useless, and uh . it being useless is kinda. Not Good ! considering gale's whole "i am a walking bomb" situation. but scrolls of true resurrection are ridiculously expensive 😭 like the original spell itself requires diamonds worth 25,000 GP. i think he does All This to avoid people just, straight up stealing the scroll and not bringing him back which, Fair tbh. but i do think making the steps to bring him back so complicated is a um. Risky move, to say the least,
For me he died after being knocked into lava by an explosive arrow. After the fight the dialogue with his ghost teleported everyone else into the lava but after it ended we were back where we were before (thankfully) Anyway I wasn't doing all this so I just paid the 200 gold for skellyboi to bring him back
Ironically enough, the fact he owns this scroll makes him probably the richest person we meet in the whole game. Xanathar's Guide to Everything made more concrete scrollmaking requirements, and for a 9th level spell, it would take you 48 weeks, and cost you 250,000 gp. And since True Resurrection has a consumed material, the 25,000 gp worth of diamond is added on top. Even assuming he got it a gift from Mystra, that's insanely valuable. Kinda makes the ridiculous safeguards a little more reasonable, but honestly most of them suck. You could luck into pulling the right string, and the flute implies playing it and E, D, D, and A are notes and there's no penalty to play the wrong order, and it's possible you speak Ignan (or can cast Comprehend Languages), but the name is really the only one that's not really something you'd luck into.
unfortunately it doesn't seem like any companions beyond the 6 you can recruit in Act 1 react to it 😭 which is a shame tbh i'd LOVE to hear what minthara jaheira and minsc would have to say too
... wouldnt it be better to just use Revivify on him? Like, odds are, you PROBABLY have scrolls for that just lying around, and even if not, a Cleric or Paladin can learn it as a lvl 3 spell slot, and they BOTH are Prepared Casters. And we got Withers.
Laughed way too hard with "chkh, chkh. Back of the throat." line. Did he take notes from the 'castle Ahgh' cave scene in Monty Python? I now kind of want to kill Gale, just to see if I can actually succeed this and bring him back to life...
