Elminster, the powerful and mighty wizard, chose to send a construct to meet Gale rather than deliver the message himself. This construct is not considered a human, leading fans to speculate that it might be an advanced Simulacrum.
Elminster Aumar, also known as the Sage of Shadowdale, appears in Baldur’s Gate 3 to inform Gale that he must sacrifice himself in a fiery explosion. This news, delivered by a proxy rather than in person, seems harsh, and fans are curious about the nature of the construct that Elminster sent.
Some believe it to be a Simulacrum, a magical illusion of a humanoid with certain limitations. Notably, the real Elminster, if he indeed sent a Simulacrum, would have twice the health of the construct – a formidable 480hp.
Fans find it surprising that such a renowned and powerful wizard as Elminster would delegate such a significant task to a mere construct, suggesting that there may be more to the situation than meets the eye. Despite the speculation and questioning, Elminster’s decision to send a proxy rather than delivering the message himself remains a point of interest.
The long-anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, continues the Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG series, thrusting players into the midst of a mind flayer invasion of Faerûn, over one hundred years after the events of its predecessor.
