To progress Gale’s companion quest in , players have to find the Annals of Karsus: a tome containing forbidden magical lore. However, although Gale believes it can be bought from Sorcerous Sundries, Baldur’s Gate’s premier shopping destination for magical items, it’s much trickier. The Annals of Karsus is sealed away in the vault, and the party has to break in to get it.
