Post Core Items:
Late game, I'd suggest selling
Spirit of the Spectral Wraith for
Zhonya's Hourglass. This will allow you to have some bonus armor, and AP. Also you can save yourself by activating
Zhonya's Hourglass.
Randuin's Omen allows for easy chase, when triggering, and some more health and armor.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter adds some more health and AP. The slow helps chase down enemies.
Banshee's Veil is helpful for the extra magic resist, and health. It can stop the first ability used on you, that could either be an initiation or a stun that could potentially stop you from chasing someone.

Consumable Items:
First off,
Vision Wards and sight wards are the best items in the game. They can turn the tide regardless of what position you are in. Early game you want to purchase a couple sight wards to counter jungle the enemy jungler, prepare for ganks/counterganks, and to have the possibility of catching the enemy off guard with low life for a possible kill. You could also have the ability to
Smite steal their buffs. Always consider buy wards when you back. You as the jungler, should get
Vision Wards on dragon when it comes around the time to take it. The support should be using their wards to counter ward the other support. This will make it easier for the support so they don't have to dump their ward on dragon, and you can clear any wards there without the support having to go and leave the ADC alone, and possibly get caught out.
Oracle's Elixir is very helpful for early game ward clearing. if you are ahead, consider buying one after you have your second item nearly, or completed. Otherwise, let the support get it.
Health Potions are used for the early game for easy sustain. Do not get them late game, they are next to useless at that point.

Clearing Jungle Camps
You usually use your
Resolute Smite to start clearing a camp, then you immediately use
Bulwark on yourself. Since
Righteous Gust does so little damage, and it costs a fair bit of mana, it is not worth to use on camps, unless you have
crest of the ancient golem, or you are going to back after you clear the camp.
Ganking
This is were
Righteous Gust comes into play. It allows you to get you and/or your team mates to accelerate towards the enemy. Put your
Bulwark on whoever is taking the most damage, and throw your
Resolute Smite at the carry. If you are level six, then you can
Flash into the middle of lane and close the gap between you and the enemy.
Idol of Durand taunts each person within a circular range of 600 units. While the enemy is taunted, your teammates can secure the kill by unloading their combos. Be sure to chain CC with your allies to secure the kill. Your laners should get the kill so they can have more of an edge against their enemy. Getting a kill on you will not do a whole ton since you are building tank in the beginning of the game.
Team Fights
During team fights, you are going to be tanking the majority of the damage. You should try to position yourself in the middle of everything, and cast
Idol of Durand. This will render their team taunted for 2 seconds. You will take 50% reduced damage, and you should do pretty well to stay alive if you build a
Sunfire Aegis as your second item. You should do a considerable amount of damage back to their team so they should be on the run by now depending on who is left dead. Use
Righteous Gust to chase down the rest of the team and kill their enemies.
Smiting
The worst thing to do as a jungler is to miss a smite, and you just gave the other team
exalted with baron nashor. You will get a lot of hate for it. The best way to smite is by selecting the thing you are going to
Smite by left clicking it. You will see the stats (e.g. health, mana, buffs and, debuffs). Check your
Smite to see how much damage it does, then watch the health bar of the thing you will smite drop. When it gets to almost there, prepare to smite at the correct time. This will make it easier for you to time, along with the enemy not stealing it.
baron nashor's health goes up 125 every minute since it spawned, so killing it will take a little more time late game then early game. Make sure to do this with
dragon too to ensure your team gets the global gold.

If you have gotten to this point, you have read my entire guide on Galio. Since this is my first guide, I would really like some feedback from anyone reading. I will be editing this and writing a change log as I get more information, and adjusting some of the build as I play and test it out constantly. Thank you all for reading, and may this guide help you fight in the fields of justice!
