Mass Effect: Andromeda

There are many romance options in Mass Effect Andromeda and this guide will explain them all in full detail with a video guides coming soon so this is a work in progress.

Male Ryder Romance Options:
Cora, Peebee, Vetra, Gil, Avela, Reyes Vidal, and Keri.

Female Ryder Romance Options:
Liam, Peebee, Vetra, Jaal, Suvi, Reyes Vidal, and Keri.

Generally, romancing a character requires you to flirt with them at least three times. If applicable, the squadmate’s Loyalty Mission must also be completed. Additionally, you can flirt with as many people as you’d like without affecting the courting of other characters. However, once you commit to exclusivity with a character, you can no longer flirt with anyone else (although you may have a fling with Keri while committed to another).

For the purpose of this achievement you can do it across multiple or even a single playthrough which I will layout below.

GENERAL ROMANCE TIPS
• Talk frequently to the character you want to romance
• Do everything they ask for, including Loyalty Missions
• Read all of their emails
• Select the flirt option every chance you get (Heart)

BELOW ARE DIRECTIONS FROM THE OFFICIAL GUIDE BOOK ON WHERE AND WHEN TO TALK TO THE CHARACTERS.

How the below work are as follows; the first row indicates the conversation I.E. conversation 1, 2, etc. The second row indicates the location or area where this will take place. The third row indicates things you must do prior to the romance dialogue to unlock and the final row indicates when you will commit which is the the moment that romance is locked in place and the dialogue that you are looking for.

How To Romance 3 In A Single Playthrough

If you're a male, Kiss Avela, Complete PeeBees missions until you have the chance to commit then romance any of the available ones for male then romance peebee after you completed their romance.

As for female, I did it (on PlayStation) flirting with Peebee until the point just before committing, Romanced Jaal, had a flight with Keri then romanced Peebee.

PeeBee
Peebee can be romanced by both Male & Female Ryder. You can start this romance on EOS.

- When you first meet her do NOT push her off you.
- When you return to the tempest after settling Prodromos, have a chat with Peebee in the Escape Pod Room.
- Talk to Peebee again and you can now "Flirt" with her on the tempest at anytime in her dialogue wheel.
- Collect the Rem-Tech piece peebee asked you to get for her from Voeld and you can romance her again.
- Head to the Nexus and stick up for Peebee in her apartment, you can romance her here again.
- Head back to the tempest and talk to her about her ex then select the "Flirt Option" for some more dialogue.
- Talk to a drunk Peebee on Aya and she will flirt with you.

The romance now breaks off into two different lines here. The first being the full romance by telling her you want strings and the second by telling her no strings meaning casual sex anytime you want, you make the choice.

- After rescuing POC you can talk to her and romance her again.
- After completing her loyalty mission, regardless of the outcome you picked you can romance her again.
- You can chat with Peebee now and have an adorable little scene where Peebee will ask you if you want it to be serious. Tell her yes and you will now have an asari girlfriend.
- Complete “The Journey to Meridian” and you will be able to complete the relationship here and will 'meld' with Peebee.

Jaal
Jaal Ama Darav is only able to be romanced by Fem-Ryder. This romance can be started after Jaal gets on the tempest.

Note: Jaal is very unique in that his romance options at first do not have hearts but rather two people standing side by side which are identified as 'Friendship'. These are the options that you want to select for the romance to work. Also, Jaal's romance contains time locks meaning that if you don't act in a certain time, you'll miss out on the romance completely.


- The first time you can select the 'Friendship' option is after recruiting Jaal from Aya. Talk to him now as completing 'A Trail Of Hope' will expire his romance.
- After completing either one of the 2 planets you can talk to Jaal again and a 'Personal' option will pop up in the dialogue wheel. You can do the romance here.
- This is optional but you can have a chat and romance with Jaal on Aya anytime after gaining access to the city.
- Take a visit to Kadara and once you return to the ship you can have more flirting.
- After completing the first part of Jaals personal questline "Friend Or Foe" you can flirt with him while in the Akksul vidcon conversation.
- Upon returning to the main area after Jaal's loyalty mission "Flesh & Blood" you can romance Jaal again.
- Complete Jaals loyalty mission "Flesh & Blood" and "Hunting The Archon" main mission, then you will get an email from him asking to meet him on Havarl.

Make sure he is in your squad and this is where you will commit to a relationship with him.

- Complete the main mission "The Journey to Meridian" then have a chat with him. This option ends if you complete the final mission.
- Meet Jaal on Aya for your romance scene and that's it.


Vetra
Vetra Nyx is able to be romanced by both Male & Female Ryder. The romance can start straight after leaving the Tempest.

- When you leave the Nexus for the first time you can chat with Vetra and get things rolling.
- Have a chat with her after settling Prodromos and she will have a romance option here.
- Complete the mission "A Trail Of Hope" and you can romance her again.
- Have a chat with her on Aya and you can romance her again.
- You can romance her during the starting of her loyalty mission after you interrogate Vehn on Kadara.
- You can romance her after completing her loyalty mission.
- You can romance her after completing the mission "Hunting The Archon".
- Read your emails and visit Kadara to do her activity and kiss her.

This is where you will commit to a relationship with her

- Complete the mission “The Journey to Meridian” and you can have another chat with her.
- Meet her one last time and the romance scene will start.

Suvi
Dr. Suvi Anwar is a Female Ryder romance only. Her romance can be started straight after leaving the Nexus.

- When you leave the Nexus for the first time have a chat with her on the bridge, this is where most of the conversations will be.
- After you have finished on Eos and established Prodromos, have a talk with her again for more romance.
- You can interact with her for another flirt option also which produces quite the hilarious and kinda cute scene.
- Talk with Suvi after completing the mission "A Trail Of Hope".
- After completing the mission "Hunting The Archon" Suvi will ask you if you want to go somewhere and you'll find yourself in the Pathfinders quarters.

If you Kiss Suvi here you will commit to a relationship with her.

- After completing the mission "The Journey to Meridian" you can have another talk with Suvi but this is completely optional.
- Read your emails and then head on down to the Nexus where you will have your romance scene.


Reyes
Reyes Vidal is a unique romance that is available to both Male & Female Ryder. The romance can be started straight after landing on Kadara midway through the game.

- When you land on Kadara you will meet with him at a bar, this isn't optional.
- Talk to Sloane, the leader of Kadara's port and refuse her offer, this will trigger Reyes to be outside where the flirting starts.
- Take a trip down to the slums and have a chat with him at the bar after interrogating Vehn.
- Head on back up to the port and inspect the dead body then head on back down to where you just were for some more flirting.
- Completing the mission "Murder in Kadara Port" will give you access to another mission called "A People Divided", where he will again have a flirting option on your way out of the mission.
- For some optional romance, ask him how he got his code name at the bar he hangs at.
- Talk to him after finishing the "A People Divided" mission and you'll unlock the "Precious Cargo" mission. There are multiple times you will flirt in this within the first few minutes.
- After finishing "Precious Cargo" head back to the Tempest and check your email, go to the vid con and accept his request for the mission "Night On The Town".
- During the mission there will be a few flirting options but with the interrupt option to kiss Reyes, do so.
- Now complete, the side missions "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Modern Medicine" to unlock the mission "High Noon"
- During this mission let the sniper kill Sloane then don't end the relationship, you two will start making out.
- Head on back to the bar for a little one on one dance.

The relationship will lock after choosing to NOT end it after Sloanes death. Until that part, all other romance options are still able.


Avela


Gill


Liam


Cora


Keri
Keri can be romanced by both Male & Female Ryder. You can start her romance after leaving the Nexus for the first time.

Note: Keri is treated as a 'Fling' and can be romanced while in a relationship with another crew member.

- After leaving the Nexus for the first time, return to the Nexus and she will be at the Docks waiting for an interview.
- After completing the mission "A Better Beginning" have a chat with Keri in the operations center of the Nexus.
- After completing the mission "A Trail of Hope" Return to her and have a chat in the Docking area.
- After completing the mission "Hunting The Archon" return to the Nexus and you will talk to her manager who will tell you that she is at her apartment, go give her a visit.
- After completing the mission "The Journey to Meridian" have a chat with her at the docking area of the Nexus and she will ask to meet you at the bar. Go visit her and you'll have your fling.
- After returning to the Nexus when you've beat the game you can get a bonus scene with her but this is optional.

You can definitely do this one a single playthrough. Personally, I was a male and completed the romances with Cora, Peebee and Keri the journalist.

Your experience may be different but I made sure I had completed the loyalty quests with Cora and Peebee before doing the quest where you go to the Meridian.

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: When Peebee needs 'calming' in her escape pod later, go ahead with it. If you choose to wait then you progress this relationship and it will hinder and possibly cancel your other relationships because you are now commited. You definitely can commit to Peebee later on and just have a little fun now.

Upon finishing the Meridian quest, you receive an email from all 3 characters. Cora wants to meet you, Peebee has a gift in the Pathfinders quarters and Keri is out of prison and wants to see you.

In order, I went Cora first which ends with you in the Pathfinders quarters, took Peebees gift off the desk next to the bed and then went back to Nexus and met Keri in the bar after the interview about the remnants.

That triggered the achievement.

Just reload a save point. Aside from the auto saves and manual saves the game also has save points for the missions. I just romanced Reyes until the high noon showdown but didn't complete it. I then progressed with the story romancing Keri and Suvi (I was Sara Ryder). Then I reloaded an earlier mission save point, went back to Reyes to do the high noon mission to finished the romance and it popped. The game must save the info somewhere else other than the save files saying who you romanced regardless of when (another playthrough or reload save). So that's all you have to do people. Romance everyone, then focus on one, reload a save and pick another person. I know I posted this in the comments section of the other guide but I figured I would just submit this as a guide so more people would see this and save everyone a lot of time. You don't have to do another playthrough unless you missed the moments to flirt.

Apparently the main solution no longer works after a patch. YOU CANNOT ROMANCE BOTH CORA AND PEEBEE! ONLY ONE!

This solution will contain a few minor spoilers, but is intended for the gamer who isn't trying to read between the lines. when I played through every tip was to broad that I wasnt ever positive about my choices. The other solutions provide a lot of good information but if you're feeling overloaded with what you can/can't do with who, and what will cancel another romance, this is a simplified sure fire solution that will get the job done (MALE ONLY - haven't played as female yet).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Few Things to Keep In Mind
-Cora is the one you're trying to wife up. Keri And Avela are side flings. Its safest to prioritize Cora's missions/storyline above the other two when multiple are available.
-Remember to check emails after Main and Loyalty missions. Acknowledging emails won't 'make' the romance, but missing to many could 'brake' it.
-Make saves before dialogues. its easy to accidentally miss a romance dialogue check
-Flirting with other legit romance NPC's (not flings - ex: Peebee, Vetra, Gil, etc) can hinder romance progress with Cora


1. Cora - you can replace her with peebee if you want, but I thought peebee's 'romance checkpoints' were to easily missed. Just make sure you speak with cora TWICE (sometimes she will have one conversation about the mission or whatever, and then the personal conversation comes after) after every MAIN mission, and CORA LOYALTY MISSIONS (honestly its safest to just chat her up whenever on your ship). There are plenty of guides on what dialogue options to select so I won't muddy the waters with to many details. Just make sure to do her Loyalty missions when they become available, and talk to her after.

ROMANCE COMPLETED WHEN...

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***you get it on in your quarters

2. Keri - Pretty simple. Just keep an eye on your email. I'm pretty positive you get one after each main mission. Basically you talk to her early in the game on the nexus, give her an interview. After the first one she'll email you after each main mission for another interview. Acknowledge the email and then return to find her on the nexus for your next interview. Theres 5 or 6 interviews i believe. She gets in locked up for a minute, but don't freak out. You can get her out.

ROMANCE COMPLETED WHEN...

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***you have drinks and go back to her place (may have to speak to her one time after to finish her mission)

3. Avela - Avela isn't hard to romance, she just requires that you flirt with her every time it is a dialogue option. But her dialogue only changes as you complete objectives of her specific mission (museum artifacts). So basically when you meet her, flirt, get mission, find object, return and flirt, find object, return and flirt. If you miss a flirt by accident then reload because she can't be completely romanced without hitting every flirt option.

ROMANCE COMPLETED WHEN...

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***you return to finish her mission and you kiss TWICE by the waterfall (there are two flirts that have to be hit in this conversation, and I believe you have to select the dialogue option requesting the second kiss).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I think of anything else I'll add it. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking for something straight forward

Just as a clarification for most of the other guides here and strewn through the internet. Most of the more serious relationships (not flings) require mission 6: journey to meridian to be completed before the final scene. It does also look like you can pick your commitment after this mission as well. And if you have been flirting with multiple people throughout the game you may finish a romance and then reload and finish any other 2 that you may have.

Ok so I found this Achievement to be really simple despite it seeming time consuming.... And you can do this in JUST one playthrough instead of multiple! I know there's multiple guides about this but from what I've seen of them most of them require one or two playthroughs or saving then reloading. The way I found doesn't need any of that! PS First guide I've written so be nice lol and please if you downvote please tell me why :).

So firstly, it doesn't matter who you decide to romance as your first romance (pick whoever you want I went with Cora my first playthrough then another (just for fun) playthrough I went with PeeBee (Hate that name) the other two you will need to romance is Keri (The interviewer asauri (that's how you spell their race right?) she's pretty simple to romance just select the heart every chance you get, when you meet her in her bar flirt like no other then she will invite you to her place (At this point for some reason It gives you the progress towards the achievement)

The second romance you will want to do is Avelya (The Angaryn Researcher) you meet her after doing the main quest as soon as you start to go back to your ship (she appears on the left of the entrance to the terminal where you go to your ship) again like Keri Flirt whenever possible and do her side quest which is collect 3-4 artifacts (I forgot lol) then she will mail you to come visit her on Aya. Travel to Aya and talk to her and when she kisses you go the romantic route and you will get the achievement without making more then one playthrough
