Switch Verison (latest update) Trouble with Jaheira Romance.

Jrodranger

Hello everyone,

Im currently struggling with the Jaheira Romance at the moment and the last time the Lovetalk happened was about her armor and such. I have restarted the game three times to try and get the romance to work out since she is my favorite female character in all DnD. I was hoping someone could help walk me through what needs to be done to finish the romance before i start the expansion. I have done all the quests i can find and running out of things to prolong the journey before i fight the main baddy in the elven Palace.

Thank you for taking the time in reading this and replying.

now i don't remember exactly when the armor lovetalk happens, but i am sure that at some point you have to sleep in the wilderness, and not in a tavern, to have a certain encounter happen.
did you do it? if not go in some forest area and sleep.

i hope it helps.

Jaheira's romance is definitely the most complicated of all the original romances, as it's tied to several other quests that have to take place alongside the romance. The two major block points that I can think of:

1. Have you done the Harper side-quest involving Xzar?
2. Have you rested in the wilderness and been ambushed by bandits that held Jaheira hostage? (This is the one that tends to block the romance progression for a lot of people, especially if they're in the habit of only resting at inns.) A wilderness map is any overland map that isn't in Amn or another town, and that isn't subterranean or a dungeon. (Curiously, the de'Arnise Keep exterior counts as a wilderness map.)

hehehe, i did try to advice without spoiling, but maybe it was written in the stars that a spoiler had to happen...
anyway it is a minor one, no problem at all

Forgive him, @Aerie , for he knows not what he says.

There's also a talk or two that only happens after a map transition when enough time has passed. Oh, and the big finale to the romance has a REAL TIME timer. Jaheira's a complicated gal.

*edit* OH OH. Did you buy the locket from the merchant in the docks district?

Jrodranger

Yes i have bought the Locket and done the harper side quest, also have been hit with the bandits so i guess im on the real world timer. Guess i better go finish up cleaning up all the maps before i get to the big baddy

Romance-related quests (spawns) wouldn't take place in chapters 4, 5 and 7. This means that if you haven’t finished it in chapter 6, romance with Jaheira will never get to its proper ending.

Looks like i will have to restart once again, thank you everyone for the aid. I remember playing these games as a kid on pc but there has been so many changes.

I am literally shaking right now. Romancing that woman beast is an abomination.


Here are all the nice people one could romance:

Myself
Dorn
Viconia
Neera
Hexxat

And you're telling me someone has actually chosen to romance that undesirable, tree hugger? This is truly a vile thing.

I recall there are at least 3 encounters in the wilderness, 2 of which require combat. There is also a guide on the Sorcerer's Place site that lists every single love talk which could be helpful to figure out if you missed anything.

Lol! But Hexxat will only romance women. Now if they had written the script where Hexxat would romance a female companion (similar to Haedalis romancing Aeria), but instead of a dual, the romance let's you join in, that would've been the best romance.
