Where to Find Naoise Nallinto in Baldur's Gate 3

### Visit Sharess' Caress in Act III:

To encounter and romance Naoise, you must progress into the early stages of Act III. As you journey toward Baldur's Gate, you'll pass through Wyrm's Crossing. Your initial visit to this area requires a meeting with Raphael at Sharess' Caress, a local brothel situated along the eastern side of the bridge leading into the city.

If you've previously visited Wyrm's Crossing, utilize the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing fast-travel point to arrive directly at Sharess' Caress.

Look for Nymph's Grotto:

Naoise can be found in the Nymph's Grotto, a special chamber on the second floor. To reach it, pass through the door to the outside area; the correct door is marked by a green light and ivy on the walls. It's locked but can be easily opened with a lock-picking roll of 10 or higher.

### Interact with Naoise:

Upon entering the Nymph's Grotto, approach the bed where Naoise is engaged with Jara, a Flaming Fist soldier. Your interruption causes Jara to confront you, triggered by a mind tadpole interaction. Select the dialogue option:

• "Whoever you think I am, you're mistaken."

Jara will mention the Absolute and then transform into a Mindflayer. Defeat her to proceed. After the battle, Naoise expresses her fascination with Mindflayers. Choose the following dialogue option:

• "Your client is dead. I thought you'd be more upset."

An Insight check will reveal Naoise's readiness for romance. Continue with:

- "That creature aroused you, didn't it?"

Avoid judgmental responses. Naoise admits her interest in the Mindflayer but is open to other experiences. Proceed with these options to initiate the romance:

• "What did you have in mind?"
• "Close your eyes and listen."

The ensuing romantic encounter occurs entirely in your mind. Naoise prompts you to choose your state of being:

• Revered
• Contented
• Powerful
• Rich
• I think we're done here.

Selecting "Contented" leads to a brief romance scene. After the encounter, Naoise loses interest in further interactions, stating she can offer 'rapture' only once. Interestingly, existing romantic partners like Karlach do not seem to mind this unique encounter, likely true for other romanceable characters as well.

Shadowheart will grant you the 'Carnal Rituals of Sharess' inspiration point following the encounter.

Upon successfully romancing Naoise, you receive the Rapture boon, which provides a passive 1d6 bonus to nearly all ability checks.
