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 secret encounter awaits those who venture off the beaten path. This guide reveals how to find and romance Naoise Nallinto at Sharess' Caress, a fleeting romance easily missed amidst the game's bustling events.

Locating Naoise Nallinto

• Act III and Sharess' Caress: Your journey begins in Act III. Travel to Wyrm's Crossing, and locate Sharess' Caress brothel on the eastern side of the bridge leading into Baldur's Gate. Alternatively, use the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing fast travel point for direct access.

• The Nymph's Grotto: On the second floor, find a door marked by a green light and ivy. This leads to the Nymph's Grotto. The door is locked, requiring a lockpicking skill check of 10 or higher.

Romancing Naoise Nallinto

• An Unexpected Encounter: Inside, Naoise is with Jara, a Flaming Heart soldier. Interfering will trigger a confrontation. Choose dialogue options carefully; selecting "Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken" initiates a sequence of events.

• Defeating Jara: Jara transforms into a Mindflayer. Defeat her to proceed.

• A Unique Romance: Naoise reveals her attraction to Mindflayers. Avoid judgmental responses. Options like "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset," followed by "What did you have in mind?" and "Close your eyes and listen," lead to the romance scene.

• The Choice: Naoise asks, "What will you be?" Select from "Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," "Rich," or decline. Each choice yields a unique outcome. ("Contented" is suggested here for a specific outcome.)

• A Fleeting Connection: The romance is a mental experience. Upon completion, Naoise's interest ends. Returning later results in a refusal of further intimacy. Note that this encounter doesn't appear to interfere with existing relationships with other characters.

• Rewards: Shadowheart grants the "Carnal Rituals of Sharess" inspiration point. The "Rapture" boon provides a passive +1d6 to most ability checks.

This unique encounter offers a brief yet memorable experience, adding another layer to Baldur's Gate 3's rich tapestry of romance and intrigue.
