Author : Ryan Update : Feb 20,2025

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.

Types of Romance:

Baldur's Gate 3 offers two romance types: long-term relationships developed throughout the campaign, and shorter, one-off encounters. The path depends heavily on the character and your actions. Multiple romances can lead to relationship complications or lockouts.

Long-Term Romance Options (Companions):

These companions offer extensive romance storylines:

  • Shadowheart: Maintain her approval by showing kindness, non-violence, and respecting her privacy. Key moments occur in Acts I, II, and III. Infidelity may end the relationship.

  • Gale: Fulfill his requests, participate in his magic lessons, and be supportive during crucial moments. Reading "The Annals of Karsus" is vital in Act III. He is not open to polyamory.

  • Astarion: Boost his approval by acting selfishly and embracing sarcasm. Allow him to drink your blood. He is more tolerant of other romantic interests than other companions.

  • Karlach: Support her, especially against the fake Paladins. Obtain Infernal Iron to repair her heart. She is very sensitive to infidelity.

  • Wyll: Act heroically, help others, and support him in his quests. Key moments occur in Acts I, II, and III.

  • Lae'zel: Act decisively and aggressively. She prefers direct action over persuasion. Infidelity will end the relationship.

  • Halsin: Complete his quests in Act II. Maintain his approval by showing kindness and reverence for nature.

  • Minthara: Side with her against the Emerald Grove. This significantly alters the game's storyline.

One-Off Romance Options:

These characters offer shorter romantic encounters:

  • Mizora: Requires Wyll in your party and avoiding siding with Minthara. The encounter occurs in Act III.

  • Guardian/Emperor: Protect the Guardian/Emperor in the choice between Acts II and III. Becoming Half-Ilithid helps.

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

  • Haarlep: Located in Raphael's House of Hope. This encounter is humorous but can have consequences if you are already in a relationship.

  • Naoise Nallinto: Also found in Sharess' Caress. This encounter involves a combat scenario.

This guide provides a starting point. Specific dialogue choices and actions greatly influence the outcome of each romance. Saving frequently is recommended, especially during crucial romance scenes.
