What's Stopping My Shadowheart Romance from Progressing?

I’m in Act 3 and I’ve been working on my romance with Shadowheart. I’ve slept twice and have a great connection with her, as she’s aligned with Selune. I’m wondering if I’ve missed something crucial that’s affecting our romance progression. Can anyone help?

QuestMaster24 -

Yes! Make sure you finish her personal quest. That’s usually the final push you need for the romance to move forward!

ThiefOfHearts -

Did you finish her whole quest line? That’s necessary too, so double-check if there’s anything left to do before moving forward with her.

RogueKnight99 -

Have you checked if she declared her feelings after the Gauntlet of Shar? If not, that could be why your romance isn’t moving forward. Also, be sure you know she can’t swim to trigger a key cutscene later on.

ShadowDancer123 -

Good point! If she hasn’t made her feelings clear, it won’t progress. Just keep an eye on those little hints.

MageMaster42 -

You need to complete her side story involving her parents. That’s a pretty critical step before romance can move ahead! Don’t skip that.

EldritchWarrior -

Just a heads up, the romance scenes often get pushed back in priority for other story events, like visits to Vlaakith’s camp or other major revelations. In my experience, I had to wait a few long rests before it finally triggered, so don’t worry too much yet! Just be mindful of those other events.

BladeRunner22 -

Totally agree! These romance scenes can definitely take their time to show up, especially with all the side quests and storyline stuff going on.

BardicInspiration -

There’s a specific event you need to do at the circus related to her quest. If you’re still outside the city, you might be missing some progress for companions until you’re in there, so make sure to wrap up her personal quest first!
