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 with Naoise Nallinto awaits those who dare to venture off the beaten path. This guide reveals how to find and romance this intriguing character at Sharess' Caress.

Locating Naoise Nallinto

• Act III Destination: Your journey begins in Act III, specifically at Sharess' Caress brothel in Wyrm's Crossing. This location is easily accessible via the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing fast travel point.

• The Nymph's Grotto: Naoise resides within the Nymph's Grotto, a secluded chamber on the second floor. Look for a locked door marked by a green light and ivy. A successful lockpicking attempt (DC 10 or higher) grants access.

Romancing Naoise Nallinto

• An Unexpected Encounter: Inside, you'll find Naoise and Jara, a Flaming Heart soldier, engaged in an intimate moment. Your interruption leads to a confrontation, and subsequently, a battle with a mind flayer transformed Jara.

• Dialogue Choices: Key dialogue choices shape your interaction with Naoise. Successful Insight checks reveal her receptiveness to romance. Opting for responses that avoid judgment and show intrigue will lead to a unique romantic encounter. For example, choosing "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset." and then "That creature aroused you, didn't it?" followed by "What did you have in mind?" and "Close your eyes and listen" will progress the romance.

• A Mental Connection: This romance unfolds within the mind. Naoise presents a choice: "What will you be?" Selecting options like "Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," or "Rich" yields different outcomes.

• The Aftermath: After the encounter, Naoise's romantic interest concludes. Returning later reveals this is a one-time experience. Interestingly, existing relationships with other characters (like Karlach in our playthrough) don't seem to affect this encounter. Shadowheart rewards you with the "Carnal Rituals of Sharess" inspiration point. The Rapture boon, a passive 1d6 bonus to various ability checks, is also gained.

This unique encounter adds a layer of intrigue to Baldur's Gate 3's already rich tapestry of romance options. Remember, this is a fleeting moment, so seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
