This guide details how to romance Panam Palmer in Cyberpunk 2077. Note: This romance is only available to male V.
Essential Quests: The following quests are crucial for progressing Panam's romance storyline. Failure to complete them in the correct order and within the given timeframe will prevent the romance.
1. Complete Ghost Town: This main job, unlocked after "Playing for Time," introduces Panam. Agree to help her retrieve her car and subsequently assist in her revenge against Nash. At the Sunset Motel, choose flirtatious dialogue options, culminating in sharing a room.
2. Complete Lightning Breaks: This mission follows Ghost Town. While dialogue choices have minimal impact, staying close to Panam and completing objectives efficiently sets the stage for the next quest.
3. Complete Life During Wartime: During this quest, defend Panam against Saul's accusations. Afterward, respond to Panam's message suggesting she return to the Aldecaldos to resolve matters. Wait a few in-game days before proceeding.
4. Complete Riders of the Storm: Respond promptly to Panam's call (within 24 in-game hours). Choose dialogue options that show support for Panam, especially when confronting Saul. During the escape, select dialogue options that diffuse tension and initiate flirtation. After the sandstorm, choose flirtatious options leading to a romantic encounter.
5. Complete With a Little Help from My Friends: Agree to help Panam. Choose dialogue options that express affection and deepen the connection. Accept the invitation to share a bed at the Aldecaldos camp.
6. Complete Queen of the Highway: After a day away from the camp, return to the Aldecaldos. Engage in further flirtation with Panam. Accept her advances during the Basilisk mission, leading to a romantic scene. Choose dialogue options that maintain the relationship after the mission.
