How to unlock the Paramour II achievement in Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Definitive Guide

There is an alternative way to force unlock Paramour 2/3. I romanced Liara in ME1 and was going for Thane in 2.

I made a save before the launching into Omega 4 Relay and had the romance scene with no achievement.

Force quit the game during the story cutscenes and reloaded the game and launching into ME1 and loading a random save. Overwriting that save and quitting to the main menu and then to the launcher.

What this does is remove the "Resume" option for ME2 on the launcher so you have to manually go into the main menu to load the save. I loaded my pre-Omega 4 save and made out with my frog man and got the stubborn achievement.

I then repeated the exact same steps again and was able to get Paramour 3 as well.

Sorry if this guide is confusing...everything made sense in my head, not sure if I transcribed it well.

At what point is the achievement supposed to pop during ME2. When talking to the illusive man after the scene or when you gain control in the hanger?

Great guide, worked like a charm. It should be noted that this does reset progress on all your cumulative achievements, I had 99/100 on bruiser (was saving the last melee kill for the me3 omni blade) and after doing this it has me at 0/100. Same for the 2,000 kills.

After I downloaded the update and then opened Mass effect and then went into Mass effect 2. No achievement pop. Luckily I had a save right before romancing tali and it popped once I did the scene with her. I also did not get the insanity II achievement, so looks like I'll have to replay the final boss which I luckily had a save right before as well. Looks like you have to redo those two things and it doesn't just pop by opening the game
unfortunately.

This one didn't pop during my ME2 playthrough even though I romanced Liara and Miranda, but I downloaded the update today and finished my romance with Liara in ME3 (the commitment conversation on the Citadel, not the sex scene) and both Paramour II & III popped at the same time (III popped first for some reason). I don't know if the update had anything to do with it, but it worked for me.

This still didn't unlock for me with Liara either, after the update. Going to keep a save handy right before the "romance" scene just in case, but hoping it pops in ME3 like it did for meyowster chief. Kind of annoying it still isn't working, even after being patched.

Some people may encounter the achievement not popping for the same reason I did.

I had completed 2 play throughs of ME1, the first one collecting/completing everything, the second flying through on Insanity not caring about relationships etc.

Despite already having the paramour I achievement, because I had carried on my campaign from my insanity play through, I did not get the achievement when romancing Miranda in ME2.

Easy solution was to go back and look at my ME1 saves and I’d luckily saved just before heading to Ilos on my first play through.

I then triggered the romance cutscene with Ashley by heading to Ilos and the Paramour II achievement popped.

I’m assuming this could also affect players moving from ME2 to ME3 as well.

If you continue a romance with Liara in ME2, at what point should the achievement pop? I completed the romance scene pretty early in my playthrough. Should it pop then, or do I still have to wait until going through the Omega-4 relay?

This still works in the current version (28th of July 2021).

I got Paramour I romancing Liara in ME1. Then, I romanced Tali in ME2. No achievement, even though my ME3 import save said I had romanced Tali. Reloaded save from ME1 just before Ilos and Paramour II unlocked after romance scene with Liara.

I just hope Paramour III unlocks normally but there's always this method.

Or do I need to cheat on her for Paramour II? :(

I romanced three crew members but only got a picture of Liara. Ugh... No achievement. Can I still cheat?

Edit: My oldest save was fortunately just before doing the IFF mission and before the loyalty missions for the other two, so I did three missions not worrying about anything to get caught up and successfully got the achievement.

Popped no problem for me as soon as I "tapped off" with Miranda just before the Omega Relay jump in ME2 after she'd been promising to "come to me when it's quiet" for ages. I had Liara in the first game and that popped when it was supposed to as well. I'd been pulling Jack as well so it was quite funny when they were fighting over me.

As of this moment, you still can't get Paramour 2 If you romanced Liara in ME1 and decided to rekindle this romance in ME2. Very frustrating especially when you try to get all achievements in 3 playthroughs on Insanity

i actually just got paramour 2 and 3 in ME1. I had reloaded a save so i could cheese the Insane achievements and i ended up having to go to Illos again but when i chose the mission and did the love scene (love interest Liara in case that matters) I all of a sudden triggered paramour 2 so i closed out before the scene continued, closed out to home screen, reloaded the game, triggered the love scene again and boom paramour 3 popped. Can someone else confirm this to?

The paramour achievements still don't work even romancing three times in one game. I have romanced Liara in both ME1 and ME2 and only got Paramour 1.

If I look at achievements in Mass Effect 1 then Paramour 1 shows as unlocked, if I jump to Mass Effect 2 and look at achievements Paramour 1 is blacked out, when I jump back to ME1 to double check Paramour 1, it becomes blacked out even though it was unlocked.

Liara wasn't in the original ME2 game, only the DLC which is probably why she doesn't count for Paramour II.

I popped all 3 with no problem after romancing Liara, Miranda and Liara respectively. Although in the third game it was with a disappointingly chaste public kiss so after it popped I reloaded the checkpoint, dumped her and went for somebody elsesmile

Since the latest patch, this cheese method is no longer available (confirmed in comments from Paramour III). Seems like you are going to have to get this one the "old fashioned" way now and do as the description says.

There is a way to cheese this achievement (and Paramour III), which I found by complete accident.

Playing through ME1 I triggered the Liara romance scene and the Paramour achievement unlocked, I then realised I did not make a hard save prior to the romance starting. No spoilers but it is the point of no return for ME1.

Once the achievement popped I dashboarded and reloaded my save and went through the same sequence again, and to my surprise the Paramour II achievement popped.

Naturally, I did the same thing again and the Paramour III achievement popped.

By complete accident. But ill take it.

I can confirm that this works. I had a save just before going to Ilos and already romanced Liara the first time (unlocked Paramour I). After getting Paramour II achievement I reloaded and tried Paramour III but that didn't work. Then I quit the game (or dashboarded it) and reloaded the same savegame again. That unlocked Paramour III.

Same problem for me (Liara in ME1, Tali in ME2). I wonder if the counter was reset along with the kill counts after the big update a few days ago.

If so, I really hope this doesn't also invalidate the Long Service Medal achievement.

Super confused about this game because I think its just bugged for some odd reason with the second game. maybe because it says establish or rekindle a love . The best way is to do the way mention above. save before going to illos or however you spell it and you will get all 3

Re-kindled the romance with my blue babe (Liara) in ME2, no achievement

Went back to my ME1 save just before Ilos, romanced Liara & the Paramore II achievement popped as the Normandy exited the Mass Relay jump

Reload my save, did the romance again, no Paramore III
Closed my game out, loaded another game up, closed that game out, reloaded ME1, did the romance again, Paramore III acheevo popped

Too bad that the Liara romance from ME2 still doesn't count. I get why it didn't count in ME2 on Xbox 360 since Lair of the Shadow Broker was a separate DLC with its own achievements and the Liara romance was not part of the base game. But in the LE this shouldn't matter anymore. Now I have to cheese it if I want to stay #Trueblue.

This worked perfectly. I romanced Liara in ME1 and ME2 to keep the story going, but apparently she doesn't count in ME2, so it didn't pop. I loaded my save from ME1 just before Ilos and ran through the encounter a couple of times and got Paramour II and III. And got to see that blue butt a couple more times.

This just actually just worked for me on June 14th, 2021. I did, however, satisfy the conditions of this achievement legitimately before trying to glitch for it. My guess is, you need to actually have another romance in a different game, and then go back to ME1 and reload and re-romance.

Playing a NG+ and romancing the same character in both saves counts. I romanced Liara on my first playthrough, and romanced her again on my Insanity NG+ save.

DISCLAIMER You need to have the disc version to be able to do this.

This guide will give you the ability to unlock Paramour I, Paramour II, and Paramour III all in ME1. Prior to being updated, you were able to dashboard once the achievement unlocked, force quit the game, restart the game, watch the cutscene again and get all three achievements that way. Unfortunately, as discussed in other guides this was patched. But what if there was a way to go back in time prior to this being patched?

My issue with Paramour II was discovered too late. If you romanced Liara in ME1 and rekindled your relationship in ME2 through the shadow broker DLC it will not give you Paramour II. Not wanting to do an entire playthrough of ME2 again, I thought there must be a way to go back to and unlock it how others did. I figured out a way to do it with the Insanity achievements so I figured it would work the same way.

Step-by-Step walkthrough

DISCLAIMER You need to have the disc version to be able to do this.

1. Play ME1, online, updated, up to when you are going to into the end-game sequence and go to Ilos.

2. Make a manual save here.

3. Fly to Ilos, if you correctly romanced someone, Paramour I will unlock. You now know that this save will work. After it unlocked, dashboard and force quit your game.

4. Go to your game and uninstall it. Disconnect your xbox from the internet and reinstall the first disc of the game.

5. Start MELE and go to ME1 and hit resume, be sure to still be disconnected from xbox live.

6. You will now be back at the hardsave you made prior to the Ilos jump.

7. Fly to Ilos again, go through the romance scene, and once it is over and you see your ship flying through the relay, dashboard and force quit the game.

8. Go to you xbox settings, reconnect to xbox live, after about 15 seconds, your Paramour II will pop without even launching the game.

9. Disconnect from xbox live again. and repeat steps 5 through 8. Paramour III will unlock.

You can now reinstall and update the game.

Congratulations!

In Mass Effect 2, romancing an ally remains the same. Visit with them after each main story mission, flirt, and be nice. Once you choose to go through the Omega 4 Relay, you will have the final opportunity to seal the deal.

Male Shep can romance Miranda, Jack, and Tali.
Fem Shep can romance Jacob, Thane, and Garrus.

CAUTION: The trophy is not given when trying to continue the romance with Liara (after completing the DLC “Lair of the Shadow Broker”). In the second part of the game, it is better to start a romance with any other available squad member to obtain this achievement.

In the current version 1.3, I started an affair with Miranda and they didn’t give me the trophy, I had a save from the first part, before I needed to land on IO, Liara came to me, after the sex scene this trophy fell out, so if anyone has an issue Same problem, try to do it like I did, it should work.

If you, like me, did not manage to end a romantic relationship with a party member (no matter which one) before completing all the quests in the game, you will not finish them, since in order to start a new dialogue “about you” you must complete one/ two missions, after which the opportunity to talk about something new opens up again. This happened to me with Tali - I had an affair with her, completed absolutely all the side effects up to Omega 4, reached the point in conversation with her when she had to find a way to take off the spacesuit - and that’s it, khan. The development of relations does not move beyond this point. I’ve already flown to different planets and systems, I thought, maybe he thinks that time has passed, I’ll return to the ship and a new dialogue will start - no, this doesn’t help.

How to avoid this - as soon as there is an opportunity to receive a loyalty quest from your LI, we immediately do this quest, after completion we communicate with him on the ship, and then, after each completion of other tasks, we come and communicate with him/her again, answering with a hint of interest in relationships. Then, when the time comes to fly to Omega-4, your LI will approach you and you will complete your RO before flying on a suicide mission.
Otherwise, you will have to restart the game for this trophy.

If in the first part you saved before the romantic scene, then after it ends, load the save again and go through it again.
Upd: It works if you completed the second and third parts, but the novel did not give you the achievement, replay the scene from the first and the achievement is yours
