How to Romance Halsin in Baldur’s Gate 3
Before we dive into the juicy romance bits, let’s talk about how to get to that point. Trust me, it’s not as easy as a bear hug.
Halsin as a Party Member and Approval Gains
Here’s the scoop:
- During Act 1, rescue Halsin in the Goblin Camp/Shattered Sanctum and save those Tiefling refugees too. No betrayal, got it?
- Whenever you talk to Halsin, be friendly, supportive, and positive. Make him feel welcome in your camp, even if he doesn’t join your party just yet.
- In Act 2, keep Isobel the Cleric alive in Last Light Inn. Certain decisions related to the Dark Urge and Nightsong can lead to disaster for the inn and Halsin’s recruitment plans.
- Talk to the sleeping man in Last Light Inn and inform Halsin about it. This starts a quest chain where you search for a child named Thaniel. Defend the portal during Halsin’s battle between dimensions to prevent his demise. After the battle, he’ll finally join your party for good. Complete any remaining tasks assigned by Halsin.
- Don’t forget to ask him about his past lovers and his opinions of you. Get all the juicy gossip!
Now, we didn’t have Halsin in our squad for most of the game, but surprisingly, his approval for us was still sky-high. Maybe it was because we completed his arc and showered him with love? Who knows, bears are mysterious creatures.
How to Romance Halsin if You Already Have a Lover
Ah, the drama of tangled love interests. In Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s all about being open-minded and willing to share – at least for Halsin. Here’s what you need to know:
- Progress further in the game until you reach Act 3 (after defeating Ketheric Thorm).
- Try resting at your camp a few times upon arriving at Wyrm’s Crossing. This triggers some interesting cutscenes.
- When someone still wants to talk to you during rest, and it’s Halsin, choose the following responses:
- “What are you saying exactly?”
- “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested – but I’m already in a relationship.”
- “You just want to share? What do you mean?”
- “I will speak with Shadowheart.” (This may vary depending on your current lover)
Have a heart-to-heart with your beloved and spill the beans about Halsin’s proposal. We had Shadowheart at the time, and here are the replies we picked:
- “I wanted to talk to you about us, and exclusivity in our relationship.”
- “He’s open-minded and willing to share… as long as you are.”
Shadowheart was surprisingly cool with the idea. She even wanted to discuss the experience of “climbing Mount Halsin.” After the chat, return to Halsin and let him know that your lover is “open to the idea.”

Now, here comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: the love scene with Halsin and his bear alter ego. Brace yourself!
When you rest next, you’ll find Halsin waiting for you in a glade. Get ready for some heart-melting moments with these replies:
- “Why, is the big, strong Archdruid Halsin nervous? Adorable.”
- “Of course, what do you think I’m here for?”
Your character and Halsin will share a passionate kiss, but oops, emotions overwhelm him, and he transforms into a bear. Don’t panic! You have options:
- “Don’t apologize. I like it.”
- “Yes, change back again. Let me have the beast… and the beast have me.”
Halsin will mention how untamed, vigorous, and… large the creature is. Show your enthusiasm with the perfect comeback: “Large is what I’m here for.”
And just like that, Halsin returns to his bear form, and a squirrel nearby witnesses your epic romance journey. If that’s not a memorable experience, we don’t know what is!
