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

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

Baldur's Gate 3 offers a wealth of romance options, but some remain elusive. This guide focuses on a unique, easily missed encounter with Naoise Nallinto at Sharess' Caress. This quick romance unfolds during a pivotal game moment.

Locating Naoise Nallinto

• Act III Progression: You must reach the early stages of Act III. Travel to Wyrm's Crossing, a town on the path to Baldur's Gate. Visit Sharess' Caress, a brothel east of the bridge leading into Baldur's Gate. Alternatively, use the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing fast-travel point for direct access.

• Nymph's Grotto: On the second floor, locate a door with a green light and ivy. This is the locked entrance to the Nymph's Grotto (requires a lockpick skill check of 10 or higher).

Initiating the Romance

• Interact with Naoise: Inside, you'll find Naoise with Jara. A confrontation ensues after interfering with their encounter. Select dialogue options carefully. The recommended path involves acknowledging the mistake, defeating the transformed Mindflayer Jara, and then subtly acknowledging Naoise's arousal.

• Dialogue Choices: Key dialogue choices include: "Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken," followed by "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset." Then, choose "That creature aroused you, didn't it?", "What did you have in mind?", and finally, "Close your eyes and listen."

• The Mental Encounter: The romance is a mental experience. Naoise presents choices defining your shared fantasy ("Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," "Rich," or "I think we're done here"). Selecting "Contented" leads to a brief romantic scene.

• Post-Encounter: This encounter is a one-time event. Subsequent visits will yield only platonic interactions. Note that this romance doesn't appear to interfere with existing relationships with other characters. Shadowheart will reward you with the "Carnal Rituals of Sharess" inspiration point. The encounter grants the "Rapture" boon, providing a passive 1d6 bonus to various ability checks.

This unique encounter provides a brief but memorable experience, adding another layer to the rich tapestry of Baldur's Gate 3's romance options.
