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 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 in the Nymph's Grotto, a secluded chamber on the second floor. Look for a door with a green light and ivy – it's locked, but easily pickable (requires a lockpicking roll of 10 or higher).

Romancing Naoise Nallinto

• An Unexpected Encounter: Inside, you'll find Naoise with Jara, a Flaming Heart soldier. Interrupting their private moment triggers a confrontation. Choose dialogue options carefully; selecting "Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken" is a good starting point.

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

• A Unique Romance: Naoise reveals an unexpected attraction to Mindflayers. Avoid judgmental responses; instead, try options like "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset." A successful Insight check reveals her receptiveness to romance.

• The Mental Connection: Options like "What did you have in mind?" and "Close your eyes and listen" lead to a unique mental romance. Naoise presents choices defining your shared experience ("Revered," "Contented," "Powerful," "Rich," or "I think we're done here").

• The Outcome: The romance is brief and singular. Subsequent visits will yield only a platonic interaction. Note that this encounter doesn't seem to affect other romantic relationships. Shadowheart will reward you with the "Carnal Rituals of Sharess" inspiration point. The "Rapture" boon, granting a passive 1d6 bonus to most ability checks, is your reward.

This secret romance offers a memorable and unique experience within the vast world of Baldur's Gate 3. Dare to explore the unexpected!
