-
Embrace gith culture: When Lae’zel talks with pride about her people, show your support and admiration. Avoid insulting her or the gith.
-
Be assertive: Demand respect from NPCs and never settle for less. Hold your head high, and Lae’zel will take notice. Indecision won’t win her over.
-
Be direct: Give straightforward answers, even if they may seem blunt. Lae’zel despises wasting time on meaningless talk when a parasite is invading her mind.
Keep in mind that Lae’zel doesn’t appreciate sharing, so once you commit to a relationship with her, pursuing other romance options will lead to a breakup. However, romancing characters like Minthara before Lae’zel won’t affect your relationship with her.
Q&A:
Q: How can I best show my support for gith culture?
A: When Lae’zel discusses her people, reinforce her pride and admire the gith. Avoid criticizing their beliefs or customs.
Q: Can I pursue other romance options without breaking up with Lae’zel?
A: No, once you are in a committed relationship with Lae’zel, pursuing other romances will lead to a breakup. So, be loyal to her to keep the love alive!
How to Romance Lae’zel In Act One
To kickstart your romance with Lae’zel, you’ll need to raise her approval. Once you sense she may be looking at you differently, it’s time to make your move! But be careful, as she won’t ask again if you rebuke her advances.
If you choose to side with the goblins, you can still pursue a romance with Lae’zel, but you won’t experience the scene during the celebration at camp. To trigger this scene, speak with her again a day or two after the celebration.
When she approaches you, follow her lead. If you’re feeling confident, you can take the lead yourself for a slightly different scene, but both options conclude with similar results.
It’s highly recommended to visit the monastery and take the Mountain Pass on your way to Act Two. Additionally, progressing through Lae’zel’s personal quest will strengthen your bond and impact your ending.
Q&A:
Q: Can I still romance Lae’zel if I side with the goblins?
A: Yes, you can pursue a romance with Lae’zel even if you side with the goblins. However, you’ll miss out on a scene during the celebration at camp.
Q: Is there a benefit to taking the Mountain Pass and visiting the monastery?
A: Yes, taking the Mountain Pass and visiting the monastery will contribute to building approval with Lae’zel and shaping your story’s outcome. So, don’t miss out on those opportunities!
How to Romance Lae’zel In Act Two
In Act Two, if you maintain a steady approval with Lae’zel, she’ll express her feelings during a night of rest. She can’t get you off her mind and will challenge you to a duel.
Don’t worry about hurting Lae’zel and wasting resources, as the long rest will restore your hit points and spell slots as needed.
Win or lose, Lae’zel realizes her strong desire to stay with you. You have two response options:
-
Pull her close or say, “I am yours” for a tender and intimate moment.
-
Mock her for getting soft or take her for a more passionate kiss.
Both options further your relationship, as long as you don’t break it off.
Q&A:
Q: What happens if I lose the duel against Lae’zel?
A: Even if you lose the duel, Lae’zel will still realize her strong desire to be with you. So, give it your best shot and enjoy the romantic results!
Q: Can I mock Lae’zel and still continue the romance?
A: Yes, you can mock Lae’zel and choose the more playful response. It will still advance your relationship as long as you remain committed to her.
How to Romance Lae’zel In Act Three
To trigger Act Three’s romantic scene, you’ll need to progress further in Lae’zel’s personal quest. Make sure to obtain the Orphic Hammer and free Lae’zel from Orin if she’s kidnapped.
During another long rest, Lae’zel will wake you up and take you to the rooftops. Here, she reveals her changed perspective and expresses her hope for a future with you. As long as you don’t reject her, things will go smoothly.
After sharing a sweet moment and committing to a future together, your main objectives will be defeating the Netherbrain and deciding your fate.
Q&A:
Q: Can I progress in Act Three without completing Lae’zel’s personal quest?
A: No, to trigger Act Three’s romantic scene, you’ll need to progress further in Lae’zel’s personal quest. So, make sure to free her from Orin and obtain the Orphic Hammer.
Q: Will rejecting Lae’zel in Act Three end the romance?
A: Yes, if you reject Lae’zel in Act Three, it will signify the end of your romantic relationship. So, think carefully before making your decision!
How to Secure an Ending With Lae’zel
Lae’zel’s romance is unique in that her personal quest can only be completed in the final section of the game, after reaching the point of no return and confronting the Elder brain. Once Lae’zel learns the truth about Vlaakith, she will stop at nothing to free Orphic.
To secure a happy ending with Lae’zel, follow these steps:
-
Progress with Lae’zel’s quest: Free the githyanki people by completing Lae’zel’s personal quest.
-
Let Karlach become a mind flayer: Choosing this option will enable Orphic to live and prevent Lae’zel from breaking up with you.
However, you will have to choose between letting Lae’zel fight for her people or living a life with you, depending on your previous choices. Remember that if you’ve been disrespectful to githyanki customs and destroyed the creche, Orphic will expect you to become a mind flayer.
As long as you remain on good terms with Lae’zel and are not a mind flayer, she will support your decision and stay by your side.
Q&A:
Q: Can I secure a happy ending with Lae’zel without completing her personal quest?
A: No, you need to complete Lae’zel’s personal quest to secure a happy ending with her. Make sure to free the githyanki people and progress through the game accordingly.
Q: Can Lae’zel stay with me if I am a mind flayer?
A: No, if you choose to become a mind flayer, Lae’zel will end her romance with you. So, consider your choices carefully to maintain your relationship.
Lae’zel Epilogue
In the epilogue, Lae’zel will provide an update on her activities over the past few months. If she stayed with you, you’ll discuss your lives and how things are going. If she left with the other githyanki after the final battle or broke up with you, an astral projection of Lae’zel will appear instead.
While it may be morally correct for Lae’zel to fight alongside the lich queen, you can still opt for her to stay with you. Keep in mind that she will sacrifice a part of herself by abandoning the other githyanki, resulting in a somewhat bittersweet ending.
If Lae’zel kept the githyanki egg, she may raise it as her own. If she stayed with you, you can raise the egg together. Lae’zel will continue to keep in touch and update you on her activities, even if you encouraged her to follow her ambitions. As long as you’re on good terms with her, she’ll express how much she misses you and hopes to return soon.
Now that you have the keys to successfully romance Lae’zel in Baldur’s Gate 3, go out there, save the world, and cherish this epic love story! 😍❤️🔥
