How To Romance Lae’zel

You can also make pro-Gith statements and firmly align yourself with her views while demonstrating strength in roleplay situations. Always choose dialogue options that make you look powerful and threatening, and take Lae’zel’s side when she explains how to deal with the Mind Flayer tadpoles.

Act 2 Dialogue & Romance Choices

If you maintain Lae’zel’s approval, she will eventually admit how much you’ve been on her mind. Then, she will challenge you to a one-on-one duel during a long rest in your camp. Regardless of who wins the duel, her romance will progress.
