The ending of my first play through I ended up joining Karlach & Wyll in the Hell’s and the 3 of us continued our fight against evil. I thought it was a pretty good ending.

[@JosukeFromMorioh]

Coolest ending for sure, and best Tav ending except where you become a god with gale

[@aliwantizu]

I think that was the best ending for Karlach before this one. At least she wasn't alone, she was with her love and their great companion. But here, she not only gets to live, but becomes immortal and can live forever with her love. I think this is the first "true" "happy" ending for her as all of the prior ones were either sad or not quite "happy."

[@therandomartist3201]

Agreed, nothing like fighting alongside her and Wyll in hells

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

Wow, that’s fantastic!

[@Sithno]

now if you can find the "nameless one" then your party would be Legends in the Blood war

[@sadeknight9112]

It is said that no one can choose to be a follower of Karlach, Goddess of Rebellion. It is only when one is pushed to the brink by the cruelty of the world and refuses to give up when She makes Herself known to you. If your heart has ever burned with enough heat to scorch the very hells, know that She stands with you. Curious, then, that a God, a being of ultimate authority, would symbolize defying authority. How could this be? It is because She, like the God of Ambition, doesn’t distribute favors from on high. Rather, it is through example and the desire for a better world that their supporters can follow suit. Although, She does take a more… *active* role in conflicts than Her husband does.

I kind of hate it, it's 80% of the way there but summoning devils to kill indiscriminately? 1. devils don't do that, they aren't demons, 2. No version of Karlach should be massacring the children and the destitute, everyone else? Sure

Funny thing to note. Gale says she will transform to her "intended" state. She is the same, but glowey. That is a bit trippy. Like Gale, becoming divine mostly just stabilizes and empowers her.

so what you're saying is that she was already perfect, it just fixed her heart.

@@magicman25103 Ish. I think. Cuz Gale says becomin deity will make her what she was meant to be. So she was "meant" to have infernal engine and be half demon. We still see all the fire holes. Doesn't seem to lose her infernal engine. Can only assume being a goddess just stabilized it.

[@Shalltear773]

[@ellyann4603]

This Ending with Karladh alone and not having Wyll and MC feels like it's missing something : the "Don't forget, you asked for this" and "how to kill imps" like she talks to herself doesn't work so much if she is alone.

[@Zeke1460]

I prefer romancing her with Durge and then fixing her engine the old fashioned way. By killing demons and devils in a hell factory and getting her the necessary pieces. Because then she can continue to adventure in Faerun, exactly as she wants.

[@powellec]

I am playing my first Durge playthrough. Hell factory? I have played through with a Tav Paladin and Origin Gale, never have I encountered an opportunity to fix Karlach. This is my first playthrough with patch 7 though. Is this new?

[@sherrymaloner8843]

I finished the campaign with Wyll joining her in Hells. At the party in the epilogue, she mentions to Tav that Wyll and she found Zariel's forge, and that there is hope to either fix the engine or replace it with one that would function in Faerun. It is new compared to her only original fate, but exactly how new, idk

[@skoshman1]

Gale, god of Ambition. Karlach, god of Cuddles.

[@allthebitschaos3261]

That was adorable. If Gale became a god of Ambition I could bet that with Karlach would be a goddess of passion. The passion to overcome, the passion to overwhelm. Just in general, 'passion'.

[@Crossfade1625]

I’ve always had an issue with gale’s ascension, which is that in D&D, gods get their power directly from worship, but gale has no ‘followers’, so how does his ascension even work? Karsus had an entire empire behind him so his case makes more sense

[@dragosradoi7442]

He probably used the crown to get all the power and then he probably began acting like an influencer until some people started to have faith in him.

[@Shalltear773]

@@dragosradoi7442 the latter wouldn't take much effort at all if you think about it. bringing down the nether brain, becoming a god, creating a new form of magic, etc. such grand things to tend to attract attention and reverence fairly quickly, especially if you're encouraging their ambitions.

[@LordInsane100]

Karsus didn't have Netheril behind him - he did his thing on his own - but the divine rules were different before the Time of Troubles (Ao adjusted things to de-emphasise power gained from portfolios and emphasise power gained from worship in the aftermath), and he was only a god for a very, very short while.

[@wesleyhughes4852]

I'd say it's moreso the power of belief in that gods chosen aspect. Seeing as his is ambition (a thing that everyone has) he instantly gets power? 🤔

[@KaylaRequiem]

Um, actually, in D&D there is an entire process for "seizing the spark" from another god, which is essentially what Gale did.

[@Frostman411]

You get to be come a god... but you have to be stuck with Gale for eternity.... not sure.

[@arc7498]

I don't think so. Judging by the story, "you" love Gale, so you stay by his side. But as he said, "you" will become a god on your own with your own domain. You can decide for yourself what you wanna do once you ascend to divinity

[@cherrycola4476]

Gale is best boy

[@istvancsap3513]

Gale's a fck.n beast in the new evil endings, he goes out to wage an all-out war on all the Gods of their realm... also tears the barrier between Earth and Heaven with the snap of a finger. I genuinely think that with the new evil endings revealed by Larian, Gale is the strongest of the origin characters by far, i mean come on, Asstarion is only a city clerk, Karlach is a bare-assed barbarian outlander and Shart is only strong at the beginning because of physically having the artefact (therebyhaving literally the most famous adventurer of d&d lore in her pocket). Baezel is baezel, a nerdy fighter. Maybe Wyll could come close because of the hell-pact.... but i think not.

[@limbytes]

Are you sure you’re stuck with him? Or is he stuck with you? I say to him… “Do you want to play Gwent?” For the rest of eternity

[@Yakub64Games]

My first playthrough I wanted to romance Karlach and I tried my best. But I fed up as I didn't know she wasn't polyamorous and so wasn't other origin characters. It came to this that no one wanted me except Wyll at the end of the game but I didn't want him so I refused, only joined him at dancing at the campfire. After defeating elder brain, all got happy ending except Karlach. I managed to end with her and Wyll in the hells, slaying all the demons. I thought that it was her best option instead of dying. The three of us (them) seemed really happy, and that was enough to make me happy too.

[@jake120007]

i dont agree with this as her best ending.. you have to ruin gale as a character and have her end up with that bag of trash for it to happen.. to get gale to become a deity you have to push him to do things karlach would never want, and feed the worst aspects of his character for the greed of her getting the "best outcome"
