"Cyberpunk 2077: Guide to Romancing Panam"

Panam Palmer emerges as a captivating romance option for V in the gritty world of *Cyberpunk 2077*. Winning her heart is no simple task, involving a series of quests that enrich V's journey through the desolate yet vibrant Night City. For those eager to embark on this romantic endeavor, here's a detailed guide on how to romance Panam Palmer, ensuring your path through the game's narrative aligns with this fiery Aldecaldo.

To start, ensure you're playing as Male V with the Male Voice and Body Type, as these are prerequisites for romancing Panam. Once you've set your character accordingly, dive into Act 2 of *Cyberpunk 2077* and follow the missions outlined below to foster your relationship with Panam.

Complete Ghost Town

In the quest "Ghost Town," which becomes available after the "Playing for Time" mission, you'll meet Johnny Silverhand's former partner, Rogue Amendiares, who will direct you to Panam Palmer. Despite a rocky start, your actions can pave the way for a deeper connection. Agree to help Panam retrieve her car from the Raffen at Rocky Ridge. Whether you choose stealth or a direct approach, the key moment comes when Panam seeks your assistance in her quest for revenge against Nash. Opt for the dialogue option: "OK. So where’s this hideout?" and proceed to eliminate Nash and his gang at the Raffen Shiv hideout. After the mission, when Panam reflects on the outcome, ask her "Feel better now?" This leads to a celebratory moment at the Sunset Motel's bar, where you should choose to toast with either "[Drink] To your ride!" or "[Drink] To what’s ahead!" When Panam mentions getting a room, flirt by suggesting, "Maybe we get just one room?" Although Panam might not catch on immediately, you're setting the stage for future romance.

Complete Lightning Breaks

Following your night at the motel, head to the garage to start "Lightning Breaks." This mission involves working closely with Panam to bring down a Kang Tao AV and kidnap Anders Hellman. Stick with her and follow her instructions to seamlessly transition into the next mission, "Life During Wartime."

Complete Life During Wartime

In "Life During Wartime," assist Panam at the crashed Kang Tao AV and ensure Mitch survives the encounter with the guards. Show empathy by choosing "I’m sorry about Scorpion." When faced with a choice involving Panam and Saul, defend her by selecting "It really wasn’t Panam’s fault." After the mission, respond to Panam's message with "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all." Wait a few in-game hours or days, completing other tasks until Panam calls to start "Riders of the Storm."

Complete Riders of the Storm

Head to the Aldecaldos Camp promptly after starting "Riders of the Storm" to avoid failing Panam's romance quests. When Panam seeks your help to rescue Saul from the Wraiths, affirm your friendship with "We’re chooms, that’s why." Choose to ride with her by selecting "Yeah, ‘course." The mission involves infiltrating the Wraith's compound to save Saul. Once you've escaped into the sandstorm, mediate the ensuing argument by choosing "Let’s take it easy – you’re both tired" or "Shitty idea, Panam’s right." This creates an opportunity for flirtatious banter, where you should select "Pleased with your stay, ma’am?", "You’d be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma’am," and "[Touch Panam’s thigh] Got a few ideas." Although Panam rebuffs your advances, the next morning, stop her before she leaves with "[Stop Panam] Wait. About last night…" to share a kiss, marking progress in your relationship.

Complete With a Little Help from My Friends

After a few in-game days, Panam will call again for "With a Little Help from My Friends." Agree to help her by choosing "OK, I’m in" and opt to ride with her by saying "I’m riding with you." At the trainyard, when conversing at the top of the tower, select the following options to deepen your bond: "[Stand by window] Missed you," "So let’s start," "Great plan. What went wrong?," "So far, so good," "Why’s it different with me?," and "[Touch Panam’s hand] Next time, try following that impulse." After leaving the tower, choose "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold" at the campfire to further your romance.

Complete Queen of the Highway

After "With a Little Help from My Friends," wait an in-game day and return to the Aldecaldos Camp upon Panam's call. Enter the Basilisk with her and flirt by saying "Nice and cozy in here." After syncing your synapses during the Basilisk battle, select "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let’s go" to solidify your relationship with a love scene. Following the battle, engage in further dialogue: "[Drink] Listen, what happened in the Basilisk…," "I’d love to. But I can’t," and "[Stand] I’ll think it over, I promise." After waking from the Relic's malfunction, choose to stay with the Aldecaldos by saying "I can stay for a bit. Thanks." When walking to your vehicle with Panam, respond with "Honestly? I dunno" and "[Kiss Panam] Thanks for being here for me," concluding Panam's romance quests and unlocking The Star ending.

How to Go on Dates with Panam

Thanks to Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.1, players who have successfully romanced Panam can receive the mission "I Really Want To Stay At Your House." Respond to Panam's message and invite her to one of V's apartments (excluding Dogtown) for a cozy night in, further deepening your connection without the need to venture into Night City's chaos.

By following these steps and choosing the right dialogue options, you'll navigate the intricacies of romancing Panam Palmer, adding a layer of emotional depth to your journey through Cyberpunk 2077.
