Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of bizarre encounters, including the enigmatic Wizard Elminster Aumar. In Act 2 in the Moonrise Towers, you’ll meet a man who asks if Gale’s in your party.
If you’ve left Gale at the camp, you can lie and say he’s not. After all, can you trust this Elminister fellow?
Who is Wizard Elminster Aumar in BG3?
Elminster Aumar, the renowned Sage of Shadowdale, stands tall as Faerûn’s mightiest and most renowned wizard. He is a returning character in the Baldur’s Gate saga, representing a masterful fighter, cunning thief, and co-founder of the Harpers.
Endowed by Mystra, the goddess of magic, Elminster arrives at the camp to assign a crucial mission to Gale. This divine task demands a sacrifice, uncharacteristically setting it apart from Mystra’s usual benevolence as the Mother of all Magic.
Where is Elminster located?
Elminster is found in Act Two. He’s right by the entrance to the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Look for the Rosymorn Monastery Trail entrance and you should find him easily. If you somehow miss Elminster, he will change locations. He’ll be on the Stone Bridge to Moonrise Towers.
Should You Reveal Gale is in The Camp to Elminister Aumar in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Whether this task was entrusted by Mystra herself or Elminster is conjuring up some lies, welcoming Elminster Aumar into the camp is safe. Elminster, at least during this first encounter, is harmless. The mighty wizard will deliver this divine message and then cast a spell to disappear.
This encounter will invite Gale to open up about his magic-gobbling illness and set the party on a companion quest to please Mystra’s wishes. The Companion Questline The Wizard of Waterdeep will be updated with the objective of destroying the heart of the Absolute, which would potentially kill Gale in the process. It’s up to the player to find an alternative to complete Mystra’s request and rid Gale of his curse. Maybe once he’s healed, I’ll let him join the party again.
