How to romance Wilhelmina

Discover the step-by-step process to romance Wilhelmina in Dragon's Dogma 2, including key quests and crucial decisions you'll need to make.

Alright, so you want to get closer to Wilhelmina in Dragon's Dogma 2? It's not just about giving her gifts; you've got a few quests to tackle and some specific actions to take. Think of it as earning her trust and proving you're on her side.

Here's the rundown:

• First off, you'll need to get through the early quests An Unsettling Encounter and The Stolen Throne.
• After that, you'll get access to the Rose Chateau.
• Make sure to visit Wilhelmina during the day and pay attention to a certain conversation.
• Finally, you'll need to complete the quest Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

Let's break down how to actually do all that.

Completing An Unsettling Encounter

This is one of the first quests Brant gives you when you're trying to figure out what's going on with Disa and the fake Sovran. When you're investigating a room, don't just leave through the door. Instead, look for an open window. Exiting through there is your cue to meet Wilhelmina and trigger a cutscene. It's a pretty straightforward way to get introduced.

Meeting Wilhelmina During The Stolen Throne

Alternatively, you can meet her during The Stolen Throne quest. This one involves attending a masquerade, which is a bit more involved. You'll need an Eventide Mask and some fancy Courtly gear. Plus, you'll have to sneak your way in. It's a bit trickier, but it's another way to cross paths with her.

Accessing the Rose Chateau and the Next Step

Once you've met her and progressed a bit, you'll gain access to the Rose Chateau. You can pop by whenever you want, and her bedroom is up on the top floor. The next time you visit during the day, you'll find she's not in her room. Someone outside will let you know she's busy. Inside, you'll find Allard talking to her.

Soon enough, she'll dismiss Allard and speak with you. She'll tell you how much she dislikes Allard and that she wants him dead. This is a crucial moment.

You'll have a choice here: help her kill Allard or try to talk her out of it. To romance her, you absolutely need to help her. This decision kicks off the quest Every Rose Has Its Thorn.

After agreeing to help Wilhelmina, you'll be tasked with finding evidence against Allard. The game doesn't give you many clues, so here's what you do:

1. Head to Sven in his chambers within the palace. He'll point you towards Patrick, who can help you gather the dirt you need.
2. Go to Patrick's manor and talk to him. He'll arrange for Allard to be summoned to his place for a short while. This gives you a window to check out some paintings in the manor that Patrick finds suspicious.
3. As soon as you finish talking to Patrick, make your way to the quest marker. Allard will be heading to Patrick's place almost immediately. You absolutely must not let him see you. Hide behind the stairs or a nearby wall.
4. Once inside the manor, interact with the painting above the nightstand. This will get you the Murder Report.
5. Take the Murder Report back to Wilhelmina.

After you give her the report, you'll be able to proceed with killing Allard by following the steps in the Every Rose Has Its Thorn quest. Successfully doing this not only resolves that quest but also means you've successfully romanced Wilhelmina!

That's the whole process! It takes a bit of effort, but following these steps will get you on the right track with Wilhelmina.
