Baldur’s Gate 3 just got even stranger: YouTuber ProxyGateTactician uncovered a glitch that lets players “time travel” between acts-and unexpectedly reveals four naked versions of Gale hanging out in your camp. This exploit, showcased in a recent video, adds to the long list of odd discoveries in Larian Studios‘ sprawling RPG.
The glitch works by manipulating specific in-game triggers, allowing players to backtrack from later acts to earlier ones. Instead of just resetting the world, it exposes some behind-the-scenes quirks-namely, spawning four nude versions of Gale in your camp, plus a mysterious fifth unclothed man. These Gales usually remain invisible, handling various plot and romance scenes, but the glitch brings them all out in the open, standing together like a surreal emperor penguin huddle.
Why Players Care
For most, spotting four naked Gales is a hilarious bonus. But the real appeal lies in revisiting previous acts. By traveling back to Act Two-and, with another glitch, even Act One-players can farm XP by refighting enemies that respawn when the timeline resets. This could be a game-changer for anyone aiming to max out their party or try different quest outcomes.
That said, there are drawbacks. The glitch skips major story events, so progress can become messy. It’s unclear if you can carry your XP gains into Act Three without causing further issues. Still, this exploit opens fresh ways to bend Baldur’s Gate 3‘s famously flexible systems.
How the Glitch Works
The technical details are complex, but the core trick involves manipulating the game’s event triggers to force a timeline reset. When the game tries to reconcile your unexpected jump back to earlier acts, it spawns all the hidden versions of Gale needed for various cutscenes. Normally invisible and inactive, these doppelgangers become visible-and very much undressed.
No official fix exists yet, and the exploit is rapidly spreading among BG3’s glitch-hunting community. For now, it’s a wild way to disrupt the game’s narrative flow and glimpse what Larian’s developers never intended players to see.
The bottom line
- Players can use the glitch to revisit earlier acts and farm XP.
- Expect to see four nude Gales in your camp-purely for science, of course.
- Progression may break if you skip key story events, so experiment at your own risk.
Whether you’re after the XP grind or just want to witness BG3’s most surreal camp scene, this glitch proves that even years later, Larian’s RPG still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered.
