Halsin/Romance: Difference between revisions

{{Companion_Tab}}

Halsin's romantic scene can be accessed with high enough approval and/or by camping in the [[Lower City]] '''only if the player has successfully completed [[Lift the Shadow Curse]] before embarking on the Road to Baldur's Gate.'''

While he is eager to be intimate with the player after losing the burden of the Shadow Curse, he will always encourage them before this scene to speak with their partner for consent if they are already in a relationship. [[Shadowheart]] agrees enthusiastically and asks to hear how it goes, [[Astarion]] consents as long as the player affirms that they're still happy with him as well, and [[Karlach]] is skeptical but supportive of the player's desires. [[Lae'zel]], [[Gale]], [[Wyll]], and [[Minthara]] will always decline, however, and a player dating one of them is required to either leave their partner for Halsin or reject his advances.

If the player accepts Halsin's offer for a night together and has either stayed single, broken up with their partner, or gotten Shadowheart/Astarion/Karlach's consent, the player will meet up with him by a secluded tree during their next long rest. Any choice but the last can be selected for the first two dialogue prompts to progress a scene where Halsin strips and the pair shares their first kiss, but eventually, when the player strips, Halsin will accidentally turn into a bear out of excitement. If the player then selects "I'm flattered I have that effect on you. Now come here" on the next prompt, Halsin will maintain his normal form and give the player a blow job (if nudity is turned on) or simply resume making out against the tree (if nudity is turned off). Otherwise, if the player selects "Don't apologise. I like it", followed by either of the first two options in a fourth prompt, Halsin will turn back into a bear and begin mating the player as a squirrel living in the tree watches in shock. The player then sleeps in camp as normal either way.

After either version of this scene, the player and Halsin will immediately be in a "relationship", though he will tell you that he prefers for what they share to be fluid and non-exclusive. If the player asks to kiss him while [[Jaheira]] is in the party, she may jokingly commend the two for their bravery because she gets bad breath after assuming her own [[Wild Shape]] form.

 

Like the other romance options, Halsin and the player can take [[Zethino]]'s love test together at the [[Circus of the Last Days]]; his response is positive if the player answers two or more questions correctly.

If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player is partnered with Halsin, based on a dialogue option, the two will go their separate ways, or together, so Halsin can return to the former [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], help the residents and nature heal, and care for the displaced children there. However, if the player chooses to temporarily stay in Baldur's Gate, go to [[Avernus]] with Karlach, or travel with their other partner, it is implied that they maintain a long-distance relationship in the six-month time skip. If the player was ''only'' partnered to Halsin and did ''not'' stay with him or go to Avernus, they still receive their invitations to [[Withers]]' reunion party while on a date together and enter the [[Campsite]] as a couple; other than the player being able to ask for kisses, Halsin's dialogue will remain the same as if they were close friends or exes: Halsin shares about his efforts in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, asks the player what they've been up to for bedtime story ideas, and offers to let them visit and tell the story themself. However, when Halsin is discussing bedtime stories, the player can joke that they would've asked for some during their adventure, and Halsin will respond that he would've even tucked them into bed if they'd asked. If the player instead chose to travel with him, he will ask if they're sure about their choice of a quiet life over an adventurous one.
