10 Weak RPG Companions You Can Secretly Transform Into LEGENDS

When you and your party in Baldur's Gate 3 begin your adventure, you're all level 1 due to the mind flayer tadpoles severely weakening your powers. Still, you could say that one person's powers have been sapped even beyond the low starting level—your team's token wizard, Gale.

Gale, a former archmage of Waterdeep, starts the game as a squishy spellcaster that runs out of spell slots almost as quickly as he runs out of health.

As if that wasn't enough, he has also become a literal bomb after his attempt to control the forbidden Netherese magic has backfired and caused him to fuse with an unstable artifact.

Gale's story is a tale of humility. He has to learn that power isn't everything and reunite with his goddess Mystra by proving he's no longer obsessed with dangerous ambitions.

However, if you want to, you can actually choose to double down on Gale's failed goal of mastering Netherese magic by helping him seize the Netherese Crown of Karsus, responsible for the mind flayer invasion.

Doing so will let him use the crown's power and then transform into a god of ambition!

His new divine form unfortunately inflates Gale's ego to no end, but on the other end, it's fun to see your weakest friend becoming a literal god!
