Baldur's Gate 3 Romance

Baldur's Gate 3 gives players the option to start a romance with their companions and other NPCs. It is confirmed that every companion can be romanced, such as AstarionGaleLae'zelShadowheartWyll, as well as Minthara, and new companions will be added later on as well.

Romances with companions are not limited by gender, race, or any other factors.

How to Acquire a Positive Opinion in BG3?

In order to begin a romantic relationship with one of your companions, you'll first need to create a positive opinion. This can be achieved by performing actions your desired companion approves of and avoiding actions that they disapprove of. These actions include every action that the player takes regarding other NPCs and how you handle different situations. 

Aiding your desired companion in their personal objectives is also key to developing a romantic relationship. You can talk with them during the campaign or during your adventure to help them sort out their individual quests.

Each companion has different ideologies, so learning about their personalities will help you achieve your romantic goal. You can learn more about each companion by visiting the companions page.

 

Starting a Romance & Camp in Baldur's Gate 3

The Camp is the best place to grow your relationship with your companions. While you are at the Camp screen (while you are resting), you'll be able to have deeper interactions and conversations with them. When a companion has developed enough confidence in you, you'll get the chance to engage them in a romantic dialogue, starting the romance.

Once you successfully engage a companion romantically, you'll have more dialogue options that can lead to intimacy.

Shadowheart can be found trapped in a pod aboard the Mind Flayer Nautiloid. If she is not freed, she can be found at the entrance of the Dank Crypt (Abandoned Ruins) at the northern end of the Ravaged Beach. To learn more about Shadowheart, please visit her page by clicking here.

Shadowheart Approval Guide

Players will need to get Shadowheart's approval by successfully avoiding conflict or having them result in a peaceful solution when confronted, even through questionable means like thievery, scam, or even extortion.  As long as you use your wit and cunning for anything justifiable, you should earn yourself approval from her. Shadowheart also has a rivalry with Lae'zel, so going against Lae'zel and supporting Shadowheart whenever the choice presents itself will also raise her approval of you. However, this obviously goes against Lae'zels approval as well so players will have to be wary of that. Being successful with Persuasion, Deception, Religion, and Insight checks will grant you her approval as well as long as she's in your current party.

SHADOWHEART APPROVAL EXPLOIT:

Upon discovering a damaged helmet on a body in the Blighted Village and passing a few skill checks in dialogue with Shadowheart, you can get her to reveal her worship of Shar.

  • We should get to know each other better.
  • Tell me something about yourself besides Shar, besides tadpoles.
  • You'll have to point out night orchids to me if we ever pass some.

Romancing Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3

Your relationship with Shadowheart can officially begin during Act I even before the Quest Save the Refugees, unlike how it was in Early Access. Keeping the general guidelines above in mind and eventually getting her approval up, players may approach her at the camp for a talk. At this point, your approval rating with her should be High so try to explore and do a lot of other things before tackling the Quest for more chances to get your approval up, if it's still lacking at this point.

You're on the right track with Shadowheart, if you can choose the dialogue option where your character says, "I can't help but feel like you and I might have missed a chance to connect. Truly connect." when they talk to her. This can be hard to catch as the option is just lumped together along with other options that usually show up when you try to talk to Shadowheart at the camp. Choose the appropriate response after she pushes forward her idea for an intimate moment alone. Afterward, head to your bedroll and interact with it to see that you have a choice to go to bed alone or to find Shadowheart. By clicking on Shadowheart, players share a moment with her at the cliffside. You can be a bit more forward with your dialogue choices during your time alone with her, but still, keep the same guidelines in mind in order to secure the romance path. When she asks you about yourself, the Persuasion roll dialogue option will not ruin anything if you succeed it. When she tries to share about herself but says she can't, she'll appreciate it if you don't pry further. As previously mentioned, anything you've managed to make her open up about at this point will help with regard to dialogue choices. Eventually, you both will lie down on the rocks, and choosing the next two appropriate dialogue choices for a moment will lead to your first kiss and officially begin your relationship.

Where to find Gale in Baldur's Gate 3?

Players can find Gale right after the prologue, at the Roadside Cliffs waypoint located just above the Nautilus shipwreck. To learn more about Gale, please visit his page by clicking here.

Gale Approval Guide in BG3

Gale can probably be considered the most morally upright Companion in the game's early stages, making it relatively simple to earn his favor by assisting others and completing side quests. He has a strong affinity for helping people and performing virtuous acts, while he strongly dislikes unethical behavior, particularly morally questionable actions, which leads to more instances of his disapproval compared to other Companions. This can make it quite easy to raise approval with him as you go as in a normal playthrough, you'd be adventuring around and solving all sorts of problems and resolving all sorts of conflicts anyway. Offering consumable artifacts, as per his condition, and interacting with camp animals are also effective ways to win his approval.

As a master of magic, Gale will approve of instances where the player showcases their Intelligence rather than violent, brute force approaches, a trait he shares with Shadowheart, as well as any decision that arises from the knowledge of the arts, science, and poetry. As a Human, he subscribes to a more general sense of morality, so acts of kindness will also gain his approval. Conversely, one can incur his disapproval by resorting to unnecessary violence, displaying stupidity, lacking curiosity, or passing judgment on his condition, or other people with similar circumstances. 

Romancing Gale in Baldur's Gate 3

Your relationship with Gale can officially begin during Act I even before the Quest Save the Refugees, unlike how it was in Early Access. Keeping the general guidelines above in mind and eventually getting his approval up, players may approach him at the camp for a talk. At this point, your approval rating with him should be high enough so try to explore and do a lot of other things before tackling the Quest for more chances to get your approval up, if it's still lacking at this point. Remember that actions that lean toward heroism will get a good amount of approval for him, and might even come up in your dialogues. For example, making sure to save the Tiefling children during the Quest Investigate the Beach will create a relevant dialogue option for you.

You're on the right track with Gale if you find him in camp with an exclamation mark on his head, as he's staring at a hologram he's producing at the palm of his hand. He won't really get into who the hologram was of, but he will try and teach you how to perform magic by channeling the Weave. Naturally, it'll be in your best interest to be successful in your attempts so do your best and pick the Ability check that you have the highest score in. Naturally, it is also in your best interest to keep it going so avoid the choices that'll make the experience come to a halt. Eventually, you'll be asked to imagine a picture that Gale will be receptive to, through your connection to the Weave. Choose to either picture kissing him or taking a romantic walk with him. Nothing will happen yet, but he will be aware of your intentions and will be open to them. When you talk to him next, ask him what he thought of what you had pictured. Unlike some of the other Companions, this doesn't start your official relationship with him per se, but it will make your intentions known and pave the path for it.

Lae'zel BG3 Romance Guide

Where to find Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3?

Players can find Lae'zel on the Nautiloid ship during the prologue and is the first companion member you recruit to help with your escape. However, once the prologue is complete, she will leave. Players can find her on Revenge Beach, north of the Roadside Cliffs. To learn more about Lae'zel, please visit her page by clicking here.

Lae'zel Approval Guide in BG3

Players will have to make tougher, more aggressive decisions and dialog choices as Lae'zel isn't a very sympathetic or sentimental person. Before romancing Lae'zel, players will need to make sure to be as chaotic as she is, as she is only on the journey for her own interests and is not willing to make stops for others. Lae'zel's personality can be described as loud, direct, and bloodthirsty. She doesn't hold back in expressing her thoughts and preferences. She enjoys dominating others and is inclined towards violence and insults. Her focus is primarily on the mission at hand, and gaining her approval involves rejecting distractions and roundabout ways of achieving objectives, even if it was to avoid bloodshed, to avoid getting sidetracked. For her, it's crucial that she handles all Githyanki-related matters her way, and she has pride in her race and their standing. She will approve of antagonizing Shadowheart and often goes against her preferences, though they occasionally find common ground. This effectively means any decisions that agree with Shadowheart will gain her disapproval, while the opposite will always win approval from her. 

To gain Lae'zel's approval, one must align with Githyanki principles and ideas. For example, she will dislike exploring alternative methods of removing the tadpole and will always have some side remarks about how only Githyanki methods will resolve your collective tadpole problem. In general, whenever any chances to agree with pro-Githyanki statements present themselves, you should take it if you want to get on her good side. It can be viewed that she values duty above all else, and might disapprove of unnecessary shows of weakness, something she might share with Astarion, especially if it makes completing the task at hand take longer. Gaining approval from Lae'zel can be more challenging than other Companions, as a lot of times the choices she will approve of will not align with the general good. As such, players have taken to avoid disapproval events by keeping Lae'zel away from certain dialogues, either by leaving her in camp or keeping her at a distance.

Romancing Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3

Your relationship with Lae'zel can officially begin during Act I even before the Quest Save the Refugees, unlike how it was in Early Access. Keeping the general guidelines above in mind, and eventually getting her approval high enough, players may approach her at the camp for a talk. At this point, your approval rating with her should be High so try to explore and do a lot of other things before tackling the Quest for more chances to get your approval up, if it's still lacking at this point.

You're on the right track with Lae'zel, if when you talk to her at the camp, after yet another remark about the Githyank method being the more reliable way to fix the tadpole problem, rather than the Druid Halsin's (depending on where you are in Act I), you'll have the option to flirtingly ask her if she's been looking at you differently of late. She'll finally confess that she is starting to see you in a different light. She'll openly say that she wants you. After this dialogue, you'll just have to rest at your bunker. Lae'zel will come to visit you for your first steamy intimate encounter. Try to keep an open mind!

Players can find Wyll during chapter one, in the Remove the Parasite quest. You will be able to recruit him after the battle against Goblins at the gates of the encampment. To learn more about Wyll, please visit his page by clicking here.

Wyll Approval Guide in BG3

Normally, players will need to make conversation and do the right actions to gain approval with their companions however, it is a bit tricky with Wyll. He is noble and admires when players chooses to be heroic, lending a helping hand as well as going against selfishness, entitled behavior, and never siding with monsters such as Devils, and Goblins.

Romancing Wyll in Baldur's Gate 3

Players will need to speak to Wyll back at the camp and ask him about the Goblins and the Tieflings, doing so gets Wyll to open up about why he dislikes Goblins so much. When asked about Wylls glass eye, he decides not to share this because he does not know the player well enough to open up about it. Later on, players will need to choose not to bring him along to the goblin camp or the windmill in the Blighted Village, doing either of these will trigger Wyll to talk about his past and his glass eye.

At this point, players may not have access to romance him yet. Instead, take Wyll out of your party and head over to the Blighted Village. Head over to the windmill, speak with Spike and pursuade him into giving the prisoner that is strapped onto the windmill, to the player. Do not torture him, but release him instead. Head back to the campsite and add Wyll back into the party then head to the Goblin Camp. Look for Spike and speak about Mizora, players will need to kill Spike and Abdirak when he says that Mizora is no longer there.

End the day here and speak with Wyll back at the campsite, Wyll will then open up about Mizora. Go to bed after this conversation. Head back to the Goblin Camp and speak with Halsin in their prison, hunt down all of the Goblin leaders while Wyll is still in your party. This gives the option of Romancing Wyll later on.

This might put decisions that will gain her approval at odds with other Companions like Shadowheart and Lae'Zel. Additionally, her context as someone who just escaped the Hells makes attunes her towards people who do actions that express their love of life and being outgoing. As with all the Companions, whenever you can talk to Karlach, always scour the dialogue options for any new options, again still following the general guidelines above, where she'll slowly open up to you about things that will help you deepen your bond with her further and further. Karlach is one of the easier Companions to create a bond with as she is not too closed off or secretive. Part of this dynamic will be the fact that anyone she touches gets burned, which will have her yearning for your physical affection when you start being open about your feelings toward one another. She'll be sincere and upfront with her affection for you, so you only need to be the same.

Romancing Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3

Your relationship with Karlach can officially begin during Act I even before the Quest Save the Refugees, unlike how it was in Early Access. Keeping the general guidelines in mind above, and eventually getting her approval high enough, players may approach her at the camp for a talk. At this point, your approval rating with her should be High so try to explore and do a lot of other things before tackling the Quest for more chances to get your approval up, if it's still lacking at this point. One surefire way to increase affection with her is to follow her Companion Quest. This entails finding Infernal Iron and bringing it to the Tiefling Dammon. Eventually, this will let you speak to her at camp and offer to have an idea to help with her little fire problem. Afterward, use any Spell or Action that creates ice or water and direct it at Karlach. You can also do the same thing with a water barrel or anything similar you can interact with. Talk to her again and choose to test things out with a kiss. It's important to note that while it might not be a certainty, this might count as an attempt at romance already, and so while your relationship hasn't officially started by any means, it might lock you out of pursuing other Companions.

To romance Karlach, players only need to be forward with wanting to spend more time with her. As mentioned previously, she will have no pretense about responding to your affections. Choose the appropriate responses to flirt with her and hint at wanting to risk the pain to be able to touch her. Afterward, head to your bedroll and interact with it to see that you have a choice to go to bed alone or to think of Karlach. By clicking on Karlach, players share a moment with her right there on their bunk. You'll try and share a more prolonged intimate moment together before she'll stop you for fear of hurting you further. As previously mentioned, just keep being forward with her about your feelings, and don't be afraid to express your affection to officially start your tense, yearning relationship with her.

Minthara BG3 Romance Guide

Where to find Minthara in Baldur's Gate 3?

Minthara can first be found in Act I within the Shattered Sanctum, inside the Goblin Camp as one of the three Goblin leaders. Siding with her allows the opening of the branching storyline that allows Tav to side with the Goblins and start the Quest Raid the Grove which may lead to recruiting her in Act II. In Act II, she will be on trial and eventually under torture in the Moonrise Towers. Rescuing her there will allow you to officially recruit her as a Companion.

Otherwise, siding with the Tieflings and killing the goblins will have you kill Minthara as well. The same result will come from siding with her first (and successfully initiating an intimate night with her) and then failing to convince her of your shared affiliation with the Absolute later on. Both routes will lock you out of recruiting or romancing Minthara.

Minthara Approval Guide in BG3

Approval Guide for Minthara goes here.

Romancing Minthara in Baldur's Gate 3

When you first meet her in the Shattered Sanctum, you have the option to betray the Druids and the Tieflings and side with Minthara instead as a fellow True Soul for the Absolute. Just click the appropriate responses that go toward deciding to help her. As per the plan, you'll go back to the Grove and pretend to still be on the side of the Tieflings. When Minthara and her army arrive, she'll give you the telepathic signal to open the gate and begin a combat engagement to slaughter the Tieflings.

To get the early romance scene with Minthara, you'll just have to speak with her and affirm the start of your would-be relationship, and express to her that you're ready to be hers. Afterward, head to your bed roll. The scene will automatically initiate when you rest. When it ends, you'll have the option to telepathically pry into her desires or her fears. In the Early Access, trying for her fears and succeeding will lead to undesirable results, but it is not certain currently if this remains to be the case in the full game. She will share her thoughts all the same if you choose to pry into her desires, and will explain that she cannot hear the Absolute when she is with you. You have the option to spill the secret about Shadowheart's artifact if you'd like but it may have certain ramifications later on. When she lets you go, you'll actually get to rest, but only until she attempts to murder you in your sleep. Suffice it to say, unlike other Companions, this whole encounter doesn't spell the start of your relationship. The important dialogue option here will be when you'll either try to persuade or deceive her with the relevant checks to convince her that you are allied with her under the Absolute. Doing anything else other than those two will result in her betrayal and you'll be forced to kill her in a combat engagement, locking you out of being able to recruit her, much less romance her.

Act II will eventually bring you to the Moonrise Towers during the Quest Infiltrate Moonrise Towers. Inside the towers, you'll be able to find Minthara being mentally tortured to the point of erasure. The dialogue options will allow you to either do an Intimidation check or a Deception check so that they can leave Minthara's punishment to you instead. If successful you can make a Wisdom check to try and telepathically reach her. Note that at any point, you can choose to instead go for a brute force approach and try to kill her captors instead. Once you reach her, you'll have the same choice of propositions to offer her. If you choose to try the more peaceful approach, you'll have to make either an IntimidationDeception, or Persuasion check to fool the Questioners and you'll have to keep this up for any other characters you'll bump into or you'll have to engage them in battle, until you exit Moonrise. There, you'll have the option to let her in on everything you've learned so far as well as the location of your camp. From then on you can bring her along as an official Companion and raise her approval of you.

Halsin BG3 Romance Guide

Where to find Halsin in Baldur's Gate 3?

You learn about Halsin for the first time at the Druid Grove. He has gone with Aradin's expedition to the Goblin Camp, but he never managed to return because he was captured. He can be found at the Worg Pens. If you free him, he offers to join you during the raid of the goblin camp. Doing this, he will be at your side, but every NPC that crosses your path will be automatically hostile.

If you raze the Goblin Camp and kill the three goblin leaders (True Soul GutDror Ragzlin and Minthara) before talking to him at the Worg pens, you will find Halsin has left his cage and has returned to the Druid Grove by himself. After introducing himself, he thanks you for your actions and immediately senses you have a problem he can help you with.

After the events at the Shattered SanctumHalsin will then return to the Druid Grove. If you have exposed Kagha, he will be having a word with her. Once the Tiefling party is over, he will tell you about Moonrise Towers.

Halsin Approval Guide in BG3

Halsin is different compared to other companions as he cannot be recruited as a party member until Act II, though you are able to flirt with him already after you first meet him in Act I during the Quest Save the Refugees or Rescue the Druid Halsin.

Romancing Halsin in Baldur's Gate 3

As you go through Act II, you'll eventually make it to the Last Light Inn. Certain situations may trigger the devastation of the inn, especially if you chose to play as The Dark Urge, so make sure to choose the options that will preserve everything and everyone, as much as possible. Making sure to keep the inn intact leads to encountering someone there called the "Sleeping man." Speaking with him prompts a Quest from Halsin to find Thaniel, a child he seeks. This Quest will eventually entail protecting Halsin as he attempts to travel inter-dimensionally. This can be a difficult fight as you'll have to keep him alive in a difficult combat engagement until he finishes his task. Successfully clearing the quest will reward you with finally being able to officially recruit Halsin and thus make him available for romance. Make sure to keep clearing out any other Quests surrounding Halsin as you build approval with him.

When you get your approval with Halsin enough as an official Companion, you can talk to him at camp with the exclamation point over his head for his intimate scene. Follow the conversation with affirming dialogue options, until he mentions having many previous lovers. Ask him what exactly he means by this to get his direct confession. If you were holding out all this time for Halsin, you'll simply need to assure him that you reciprocate his feelings. Otherwise, you'll have to be honest about it and say that you're interested but you're already with somebody else. He will explain that he does not mind sharing you, as he sees romance and partnership as a fluid system, much like nature to which he is so attuned. As a good partner who respects their lover, you'll have to go and have a talk with your current partner and see how they feel about polyamory. AstarionKarlach, and Shadowheart have been confirmed to not mind. Naturally, if they do mind, and if you mind yourself, you can choose to break it off with them and exclusively be with Halsin. After you get their permission, head back promptly to Halsin and let him know to initiate the famous love scene. When he loses control and turns into a bear, you'll have the option to choose whether or not you'd like him to continue the deed in human form or as a bear. No one will judge you, as long as you both are happy.

      Contrary to the article, I don't think Minsc and Jaheira are romanceable. You can gain approval/disapproval with them like the other comps but it doesn't lead anywhere romantic afaik

      • Anonymous

        I wonder if charisma has anything to do with it? On my 10 charisma monk, Lae'zel declared her interest, and I agreed, but then many cutscene-less nights later I called it off and romanced Shadowheart instead. By Act 3 she has yet to do anything more than say cute things and smooch on command. On my 19 charisma warlock, however, Lae'zel wasted no time, and Astarion was also ready to go on the night of the party even though his approval was rather low.

            I miss times when developers actually spend their time on developing good game play and story not on romances and sex scenes.

              I see Minsc and Jaheira on this page, but I can't find any confirmation that either of them are romanceable. Does someone know where that was said?

                As an avid DnD player, I demand a dialogue option in LITERALLY (mostly) EVERY dialogue choice for ANY NPC that is just [FLIRT] or [SUGGESTIVE WINK].

                  So far Minthara's romance scene is the most intriguing as the after-talk is all about the "Absolute". I wonder if you can remove the worm in her head and how she will think of the protagonist. Good job.

                    So far, I'm not impressed with any of these companions. Maybe GA version of the game will make them all less like pretentious pricks. Seriously, not much to like in any of them
