Mass Effect Andromeda: How to Romance All Characters

How to Romance All Characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda

You’ll meet quite a few interesting characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda across all the different species. And, seeing as how this is a BioWare game, there’s a good chance that you can sleep with them if you play your cards right. There are 10 characters you can romance in the Heleus Cluster and they’re spread out between your crew and a few others elsewhere in Andromeda. They each require their own requirements to bed, so this guide will cover each one for you to help you find love while you search for a new home for the Andromeda Initiative.

Squadmates

We’ll kick things off with your squadmates. These are the characters you recruit that can be taken out on missions. All of them can be romanced, except for Drack, who’s 1400 years old and has zero interest in you outside of going on epic battles.

Liam (Romance Restrictions: Female Ryder Only)

Liam takes a lot of work to get intimate with in Mass Effect: Andromeda. His Loyalty Mission requires you to set up an outpost on every planet that allows you to, and you’ll also have to help him set up movie night. This is a morale project of his that requires a few trips to the Nexus as well as obtaining snacks for other members of your crew. You’ll get these objectives from your email and talking to your crew on the Tempest. Make sure to flirt with him every chance you get, and keep your answers to an understanding tone. Too much logic and professionalism will make Liam not want to romance. After completing his Loyalty Mission, he’ll send you an email to hook up if you’ve done everything right.

Jaal (Romance Restrictions: Female Ryder Only)

You’ll meet Jaal during your very first visit to Aya, the Angaran home world. He’ll join your crew and many of the story missions from that point on will center on him and his people, providing ample opportunities to flirt. Romancing him is a bit interesting as he doesn’t have the normal “flirting heart” option when talking. Instead, you’ll see an option with a silhouette of holding hands. Choose these whenever available then continue on and complete his Loyalty Mission. If you did all the hand holding interactions and aren’t seeing anyone else, he’ll send you an email to meet up where you can decide to romance him or not.

Cora (Romance Restrictions: Male Ryder Only)

Cora seems to be a bit cold towards you at first, but that’s mostly because she felt slighted by your father’s decision to make you Pathfinder even though she was next in line for the position. However, if you continue to help people and choose understanding options (top-left conversation choices) she’ll start to warm up to you and you can even start flirting. Make sure to talk to her after every major event, and when you visit new hub areas (Nexus, Aya, Kadara Port, etc). Then, embark on her Loyalty Mission. This will involve locating and retrieving the Asari Ark. You can talk to her on the Tempest afterwards to hear her thoughts, so be understanding and hug her when given the prompt. She’ll share her feelings towards you and you’ll eventually get an email to meet her on Eos. If you’re not in any relationship (Peebee doesn’t count) you can start a romance there.

Vetra (Romance Restrictions: None)

Vetra is one of the cooler members of your crew. She’s a Turian smuggler with tons of street-smarts and the ability to get things done. She’s a bit on the serious side at times, but you can still have fun with conversations. When she talks about personal things, stick to the top-left conversation options. When it’s about work, stick to logical and professional (the right side of the wheel). Every so often you’ll be able to flirt with her, do this.

Continue to talk to her after missions and in new hub areas until you unlock her Loyalty Mission, which involves her sister Sid. After completing the mission, and flirting up a storm, she’ll ask you to meet her on Kadara. Head to the planet with her in your party then go to the spot to start a romance.

Peebee (Romance Restrictions: None)

Peebee is a really fun character who loves exploring new places and just generally doing her own thing. Romancing her isn’t difficult and you don’t even need to complete all of her Loyalty Mission, just half of it, while also flirting every chance you get (she really likes flirting). After meeting her and exploring some Remnant Ruins, she’ll have a mission called “Secret Project.” It will require you to find Rem-tech (Remnant Technology) in locations she’s marked for you on Eos and Voeld.

When you get her everything she needs, she’ll ask you to meet her in her apartment on the Nexus. This is when she gives you Remnant VI, and it’s also when you first get to see her show her feelings towards anything when her old friend shows up. Afterwards, continue until you’re able to actually explore Aya and meet Peebee at the museum. She’ll be drunk, but if you act understanding, she’ll appreciate it. Head to the Tempest and meet her in the Escape Pod room (her room) and you’ll be able to calm her down. Choose the option that asks her what she normally does to calm down, then accept when she asks you to join her. While bumping around in Zero-G, Peebee will ask you to fool around under the caveat that there are no strings attached. Accept and romance will begin.

Crew Members

Outside of characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda that you can take on missions are other crew members that stay only on the ship or sometimes enter hub areas like Nexus and Aya. They don’t have Loyalty Missions, but you can do things for them and still flirt (which you need to do after every major event).

Suvi (Romance Restrictions: Female Ryder Only)

Suvi is one of the pilots on the Tempest in Mass Effect: Andromeda and is pretty interesting. She has a very deep faith in both technology and a higher power, so conversations that show understanding and care (top-left options) work well with her. You’ll want to talk to her after every major mission or event since she’ll usually have new dialogue at those points. Also, complete any random tasks she has, like getting a specific snack for movie night. After enough progress has been made and you’ve been steadily flirting when you can, she’ll invite you to spend some time with her… in your private quarters. You will then have the option to romance Suvi.

Gil (Romance Restrictions: Male Ryder Only)

Gil is in charge of the engines and is your tech guru aboard the Tempest and is a pretty cool dude. You can flirt with him immediately and he does not hesitate to flirt back. Keep an eye on your email and he’ll invite you to hang out at a bar on the Nexus. Continue to flirt afterwards and in time he’ll invite you to meet up on Eos for some romance, as long as you’re single.

Romance Off-Ship NPCS

These are NPCs that have some quests tied to them. They’re not mandatory quests, but they are worthwhile for experience and the potential romances that spring from them

Avela (Romance Restrictions: Male Ryder Only)

Avela is an archeologist located on Aya. You can flirt with her when you first reach the planet (even though you can’t explore it yet), and she’ll give you a mission titled “Recovering the Past.” It will task you with collecting artifacts on certain planets then bringing them to her museum (which you can access later). Keep flirting, and when you complete all of her missions you can romance her.

Reyes (Romance Restrictions: None)

Reyes is a cunning, human smuggler you’ll become acquainted with on Kadara while helping the Angarans. He’s a bit of a cheat and always sends you on missions, yet never shows up to help until the last minute. Still, he’s handsome and very funny at times. To romance him, you simply need to start working with him by denying Sloane’s initial request when you first reach the planet. He’ll have you investigate murders, deal with his ex, and pay for a few drinks, but keep the flirting up and when it’s all said and done you can romance him after attending a party and stealing some valuable booze.

Keri (Romance Restrictions: None)

Keri is an interviewer that you can start speaking to after settling the first outpost on Eos (which is very early in Mass Effect: Andromeda). It’s part of a project from Director Tann to give people hope and show progress. You can flirt with her during these interactions and she’ll express a bit of interest. However, after enough flirting, she’ll get serious and share how she’s really into you but it’s a conflict of interest. Despite this, she’s not stopping the romance process. She’ll ask you if you’re willing to wait until after all the interviews. If you agree, you can romance her when it’s all done. Also, she doesn’t care if you’re sleeping with anyone else, sweet.
