Baldur\'s Gate 3: How to Romance Naoise Nallinto

Uncover a Hidden Romance in Baldur's Gate 3: Naoise Nallinto

While Baldur's Gate 3 boasts many well-known romance options, a less-discovered encounter awaits at Sharess' Caress with Naoise Nallinto. This brief romance is easily missed, occurring during a pivotal game moment. This guide details how to find and romance Naoise.

Locating Naoise Nallinto

1. Reach Act III: Progress to the early stages of Act III, passing through Wyrm's Crossing on your journey to Baldur's Gate. You'll encounter Raphael at Sharess' Caress, a brothel east of the Baldur's Gate bridge. If you've already explored Wyrm's Crossing, use the South Span fast-travel point.

2. Find the Nymph's Grotto: On the second floor, locate a door with a green light and ivy. It's locked, requiring a lockpicking skill check of 10 or higher.

Romancing Naoise Nallinto

1. Interact with Naoise: Inside, find Naoise with Jara. Interfering will trigger a confrontation. Choose dialogue options strategically; selecting "Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken" is one approach. Defeat the transformed Jara.

2. Engage Naoise: Naoise will reveal her interest in Mindflayers. Avoid judgmental responses; "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset" is a suitable option. A successful Insight check reveals her romantic inclination.

3. The Romantic Exchange: Opt for non-judgmental responses. "What did you have in mind?" followed by "Close your eyes and listen" leads to the romance scene.

4. Choosing Your Path: Naoise presents options ("Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," "Rich," "I think we're done here"). Your choice influences the scene's outcome.

5. The Aftermath: This encounter is unique, occurring mentally. Afterward, Naoise will show no further romantic interest. Shadowheart grants the "Carnal Rituals of Sharess" inspiration point. The "Rapture" boon provides a passive 1d6 bonus to most ability checks. Note that this romance seems unaffected by existing relationships with other characters.
