How to unlock the Paramour achievement in Mass Effect 2 - Definitive Guide

Jacob Taylor, Thane Krios, and Garrus Vakarian are possible male characters to "Romance" with.

Miranda Lawson, Subject Zero; Jack, and Tali'Zorah nar Rayya are possible female characters to "Romance" with.

Talk to the person you want to romance with often and/or after every mission you do. Just try not to be an ass to them, play nice. Make sure you do their loyalty mission. When you go through the Omega 4 Relay a cut-scene will start with that person if done right.
And remember, Safety First!

Note: For Jack, Romancing with her before the Omega 4 Relay using your Renegade will not get this achievement.

EDIT: BDSLiVe said, That you cannot do same sex romance.

EDIT: I personally have never tried but I have seen videos on Youtube of Mass Effect 2 same sex romances. But either way, you can be the test subject and let me know.

Actually no. You can't do same sex anymore but you could in the first game. It was the giant news headlines that Fox News put up saying "Sexbox" and "Gay Alien Sex Simulator". It really affected the developing choices through ME2 and I don't blame them.

Oh okay, I have seen some vids on Youtube for ME2 such as being gay with jacob but maybe they messed with the game you think?

Well, playing as a FemShep, I've been able to get pretty flirty with that Yeoman Chambers. She came up to Shep's room for "dinner", but no cutscene and no achievement.

Have not seen anything of indication of flirtyness towards Miranda, Tali, or Jack while playing as FemShep.

After doing the discussion with Samara about a 'relationship' with FemShep, she does not show up in the romance scene. However, I did do the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC and was wondering if that could mess up the potential there for a FemShep/Samara hookup. I did tell Liara the line about house, marriage, and little blue babies, so I have to wonder, since she was the ME1 hookup.

I came here, sorta, looking for what Ze Snake was... Can you have all possible love interest going at the same time, or do you have to pick just one and stick with it?

I'm a male Shepard and just did my first loyalty mission with Miranda. I've not talked to her yet after the mission. I know I also have Jack and Tali, and I'm leading toward Jack, so I don't want to mess things up by getting to chatty with Miranda.

You will have to choose one eventually, you can't have more than one. If you are "talking" with two squad mates, one will comfont you about your feelings for the other person and you will have to choose.

If you imported a character from ME1 who date Liara or Ashley/Kaidan, you can unlock it if you don't pursue a relationship in ME2. Before to go to Omega Four Relay, Shepard talks to his love through a hologran system. I read it on ME2 playthrough

Forget about I said. I was confused because I saw a video on YouTube but it was a DLC scene. You can't unlock it with Liara

Is it possible to work a relationship to a point where you get the achievement and then reloading a previous save to not go ahead with the relationship? I just want a relationship for the achievement without having to play through twice.
is it possible to call off a relationship last minute so that I don't have to reload from waaaay back? i know relationships build up over time.

Some how I'd missed this achievement in my many playthroughs so had to do a round just to get it, the easiest way is as female shepherd and with Jacob as you can hit on him straight away,

I only had to recruit everyone and do about 3 loyalty missions to get to the suicide mission and i got when Jacob he came to my room,

This is more of general tip applicable to many games but it's how I tackled this, I played as an engineer for the drone and took barrier as bonus perk set to lowest difficulty and just ran the levels, there is very few points where you need to clear an area to move to the next and usally if have ran to that point only half the guards spawn.

Happy gunting

I ended up with Tali.

I was getting along with Miranda just fine until the fight with Jack happens late in the game. I then focused too much on getting her loyalty back which is ridiculously hard.

So as I was talking to Tali, I noticed she was a little easier to seduce but I got through the suicide mission without getting this achievement and almost forgot.

After the credits you can go back and wander around so I talked to Miranda first who was still cold. Jack almost went for it but told me to get lost. Then I remembered that Tali was flirty so after talking to her a little (You have to select "I want to talk about you" and she takes you off to the side to chat), you select some top right options and she goes for it.

She'll come up to your room and then you chat a little. Then she jumps your bones after you take off her mask. You still don't get to see her face. The downside is the scene is really short. But if you're looking for the achievement and finish the game first, don't give up. You can go back and talk to Tali or whoever. Give it a shot.

I think I am in the same boat as you....I thought I was getting closer to miranda but then nothing happened during before going to suicide mission (except for Shepard enjoying himself in front of a pic of Ashley). I am now doing side missions and I am wondering if I have to go back to the Omega 4 relay to attempt a cinematic with Tali? I talked to her again after doing the arrival DLC and she seems to want to take the bait so I just wanted to know if someone might know where I go from here?

Yeah, I would talk to her after every mission. You can also talk after the game is over. Good luck!

Thanks, I just got it yesterday. After she said she would research how to protect herself (with immuno boosters,etc), I revisted the omega 4 relay and the scene initiated. I guess for any lingering romances you have to trigger the scene by going to the omega 4 relay because just going up to the captain's captain does not do the trick. Thanks, positive vote from me!

Could you please tell me more about this "fight with Jack"? I don't want to make the same mistake, if it can be avoided. Have not decided whom I'm going to romance, but I am leaning toward Jack since, well since she's Jack.

In my first play through i chose the female Shepard and pursued a relationship with Thane.

For the most part you just have to be diligent in talking to the character every 1 or 2 missions and mostly picking the paragon answers. you must also have their loyalty mission done, this is because any attempts to talk to them will result in the character asking you to hurry and help them.

when it gets to the point that he will choose to talk to you at any time (as opposed to turning you down after you've had a chat) and you have the same speech options, your good to go; all that is left is the omega 4 relay.

i have not attempted to pursue Jacob but judging from your description, yes. as you are using the omega relay the cut scene should play and you will get your achievement. if you are second guessing try another side quest and then talk to him again. if nothing happens you should be good

According to the ME wiki there are no same-sex relationships in ME2. You can "fool around" w/ Samara, Kelly, or Morinth. But they don't count as romances.

Question? I've been persuing Jacob since the start of the game with a female Shepard but he won't talk to me anymore, he just says that I'm lucky I'm so damn special and that he wants to persue a relationship later. So does this mean when I do the Omega Relay that this achievement should unlock?

As a male Shepard tali is the easiest to romance.
you can romance her all in one go, just choose paragon options, do her loyalty mission and constantly agree with her

easy.

In between story missions (not side missions), talk to your teammates and explore every available dialogue option. Once you decide which crewmember you want to pursue, talk to them after each mission until the conversation repeats over and over. If you converse with one of them enough, then you'll see the two of them "share" a moment en route to the suicide mission. Both sexes have different options. A male Shepard can choose from Miranda, Jack, or Tali. A female Shepard chooses from Jacob, Thane, or Garrus.

This achievement requires you to take your relationship with one crewmember further than just loyalty. After each mission talk to all the crew and see who is willing to open up to you and become less formal. Once you start to go through the Omega 4 Relay, the romance scene will occur.

Depending on if you are playing as a male or female character you can interact and start a romance with the following characters:

Female Character

  • Jacob Taylor
  • Thane Krios
  • Garrus Vakarian

Male Character


  • Miranda Lawson
  • Subject Zero
  • Tali'Zorah nar Rayya

Just arrange a romance with any of the crew members available to you. For a male character, these are Tali, Jack and Miranda. For a female character: Garrus, Thane and Jacob. Just talk to one person after each completed story mission, including a personal quest, and choose positive answers. The trophy will be given before you go through the Omega-4 relay

Because Liara is not a member of the crew, then intimacy with her in the captain's cabin will lead to receiving a trophy. It’s a pity - I don’t want to change her, even for the ideal Miranda.

There is no trophy for dating Kelly Chambers , keep that in mind. Checked personally.

The trophy cannot be obtained after completing the story campaign. Only before the flight through the Omega-4 relay.
