Bladur\'s Gate 3: Complete Romance Guide

This guide details all romance options in Baldur's Gate 3, covering both long-term companions and one-night stands. Remember, romance options are available regardless of your character's gender.

Long-Term Romance Options:

The following companions offer full-fledged romances:

• Shadowheart: Maintain her approval by showing kindness, avoiding violence (unless necessary), and respecting her privacy. Key moments occur in Act I (sharing a drink), Act II (supporting her choices regarding Selune or Shar), and Act III (completing her quest). Be mindful – she may end the relationship if you pursue others.

• Gale: Rescue him early, comply with his requests regarding magical items, and be supportive during crucial moments, especially in Act I (magic lesson) and after the Elminster cutscene. Reading "The Annals of Karsus" in Act III is vital for the final scene. He's not interested in open relationships.

• Astarion: Increase his approval by choosing self-serving options and embracing his sarcastic nature. Allowing him to drink your blood helps. Key moments include the Act I party, exploring his scars in Act II, and completing his quest in Act III. He's more open to other relationships than some companions.

• Karlach: Support her against the fake Paladins, obtain Infernal Iron to help her, and be understanding of her condition. Key moments include the Act I party and fixing her infernal engine. She is very sensitive to infidelity.

• Wyll: Build his approval by acting heroically and supporting him in his quests. Key moments include the Act I party, the Act II dancing encounter, and completing his quest in Act III.

• Lae'zel: Raise her approval by acting decisively and aggressively. Key moments include raising her approval early, a duel in Act II, and supporting her choices in Act III. She's not open to multiple partners.

• Halsin: Rescue him, complete his quests, and show kindness and respect for nature. Key moments occur after completing his quests in Act II and III.

• Minthara: Side with her against the Emerald Grove, and show complete allegiance. This is a significantly darker path.

One-Night Stand Options:

These characters offer shorter romantic encounters:

• Mizora: Requires Wyll in your party and completing her questline in Act III.

• The Guardian/Emperor: Protect them, potentially become Half-Ilithid, and learn of their past.

• The Drow Twins: Found in Sharess' Caress in Act III. You can either complete a quest for Mamzell or pay for their services.

• Haarlep: Found in Raphael's boudoir in the House of Hope.

• Naoise Nallinto: Found in Sharess' Caress in Act III, after unlocking a hidden chamber.
