A wizard is never late.

. There's no way to talk about this new bizarre speedrun category without getting arms-deep into Gale's backstory, and the optional ending it gives you.

At the start of Act 2, Gale gets informed that Mystra's happy to let bygones be bygones as long as he blows himself up to slay the Absolute. Get to the demi-god, let the magic inside him free, and become a hero—straightforward, andYou get a chance to enact this dark timeline if you are playing Gale—or have him in your party—at the end of Act 2. The game's main three villains—Ketheric Thorm, Enver Gortash, and Orin—are all right there.

Over the course of 10 minutes, Gale the wizard hurls himself through the Forgotten Realms, skipping the first potential fight with Ketheric Thorm entirely with the use of Misty Step to sequence-break his way to the end of Act 2. Hilariously, Mae also strips Gale naked before entering the final chamber—this isn't a speedrun tactic, you just can't do anything while Gale's on the elevator, so you might as well.
