Baldur's Gate 3 is renowned for its diverse and engaging romance options, yet some hidden gems like the encounter with Naoise Nallinto at Sharess' Caress often go unnoticed. This fleeting romance can be easily missed, occurring amidst the game's bustling narrative. In this guide, we'll detail where to locate this encounter and how to successfully romance Naoise Nallinto in Baldur's Gate 3.
To meet and romance Naoise, you must progress to the early stages of Act III. As you journey towards Baldur's Gate, you'll pass through Wyrm's Crossing. Your initial visit to this area will lead you to meet Raphael at Sharess' Caress, a brothel located on the eastern side of the bridge leading into the city.
If you've already explored Wyrm's Crossing, utilize the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing fast-travel point, which will transport you directly to the entrance of Sharess' Caress.
Naoise awaits in the Nymph's Grotto, a secluded chamber on the second floor, accessible through a door adorned with a green light and ivy. This door is locked but can be easily opened with a lock-picking roll of 10 or higher.
Upon entering, approach the bed where Naoise is engaged with Jara, a Flaming Heart soldier. Interrupting their intimate moment will prompt Jara to confront you, triggered by a tadpole interaction. Choose the dialogue option:
Jara mentions the Absolute and transforms into a Mindflayer, which you must defeat. After the battle, Naoise expresses her fascination with Mindflayers. Opt for:
An Insight check will indicate Naoise's readiness for romance. Continue with:
Avoid judgmental responses. Naoise reveals her anticipation for the Mindflayer but suggests another 'flavor' could suffice. Select:
The ensuing romantic encounter occurs mentally. Naoise asks you to choose 'what you will be?' with options including:
Choosing 'Contented' initiates a brief romance scene with Naoise. Post-encounter, she shows no further interest, stating she can offer 'rapture' only once. Notably, this encounter does not affect existing romantic relationships, as seen with Karlach, and is likely similar for other romanceable characters.
Shadowheart will reward you with the 'Carnal Rituals of Sharess' inspiration point following the encounter.
Upon successfully romancing Naoise, you'll receive the Rapture boon, granting a passive 1d6 bonus to nearly all ability checks.
