What's Up with Shadowheart's Swimming Scene in Act 3?

-

Hey everyone! I’m a first-time player diving into Act 3 on my PS5, and I’m a bit stuck. I’ve been told that a scene with Shadowheart would kick off after my first long rest, but I’ve already done that twice and haven’t seen anything from her. Her approval rating is looking great—she even calls me ‘lover’ now and has changed her hair color! The only thing I didn’t do was pick up the night orchid flower back in Act 2. Is that absolutely critical, or can I skip that? I really don’t want to backtrack eight hours of gameplay just for a flower. Oh, and is there a specific spot I need to be in for the scene to trigger?

Did Shadowheart mention that she likes night orchids and can’t swim back in Act 1 or 2? That’s usually what players forget. If you nailed that part, just hang tight and maybe you’ll get the scene. You might have other interactions waiting in the wings too!

I believe I remember her mentioning that, but I definitely skipped giving her the flower in Act 2.

No worries, you should still get the scene! Just make a save and try doing some quick rest breaks. You won’t waste supplies that way, and the scene should pop up eventually. You don’t actually need the flower to trigger it!

Thanks for the tip!

If you missed the flower completely, there are some in the House of Grief or the Shar Enclave. Just an option if you’re looking to collect!

Ooo, that’s good to know—thanks!
