"Guide to Romancing Panam in Cyberpunk 2077"

Romancing Panam Palmer in *Cyberpunk 2077* adds a thrilling layer to your journey through the dystopian Night City. As one of the most compelling romance options, winning over this fiery and independent member of the Aldecaldos isn't a walk in the park, but it's certainly rewarding. To embark on this romantic adventure, you'll need to progress into Act 2 and ensure you're using the Male V Voice and Body Type, as these are prerequisites for romancing Panam. Below, you'll find a step-by-step guide on how to navigate the quests that lead to a relationship with her.

Complete Ghost Town

Ghost Town, a pivotal Main Job in Act 2, kicks off your journey with Panam. After the "Playing for Time" quest, you'll meet Johnny Silverhand's former flame, Rogue Amendiares, who directs you to Panam. Though your initial encounter may be rocky, helping her recover her car from the Raffen at Rocky Ridge is your first step. You can choose stealth or go guns blazing; what matters is agreeing to help Panam seek revenge on Nash by selecting: "OK. So where’s this hideout?" After taking down Nash, celebrate at the Sunset Motel by choosing to toast with a beer: "To your ride!" or "To what’s ahead!" Flirt with Panam by suggesting, "Maybe we get just one room?" Even if she doesn't catch on immediately, it sets the right tone for your budding relationship.

Complete Lightning Breaks

Following your night at the motel, head to the garage to start Lightning Breaks. Assist Panam in her mission to bring down the Kang Tao AV and kidnap Anders Hellman. Stick close to her and follow her directives to seamlessly transition into the next quest, Life During Wartime.

Complete Life During Wartime

When you arrive at the crashed Kang Tao AV, you'll need to rescue Mitch. The choice of who shoots the guard won't impact your relationship with Panam, but expressing empathy by saying, "I’m sorry about Scorpion," will strengthen your bond. When confronted by Saul and the Aldecaldos at the gas station, defend Panam by choosing, "It really wasn’t Panam’s fault." After the mission, respond to Panam's message with, "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all," and then wait for her call to start Riders of the Storm.

Complete Riders of the Storm

Upon arriving at the Aldecaldos Camp, you'll learn that Saul has been kidnapped by the Wraiths. Offer your help to Panam by saying, "We’re chooms, that’s why," and opt to ride with her. Whether you use stealth or go loud during the rescue mission doesn't matter; just make sure to save Saul. After escaping, mediate an argument between Panam and Saul by choosing, "Let’s take it easy – you’re both tired," or "Shitty idea, Panam’s right." Seize the moment to flirt with Panam, selecting: "Pleased with your stay, ma’am?", "You’d be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma’am," and "[Touch Panam’s thigh] Got a few ideas." Although Panam may reject your advances initially, the next morning, stop her before she leaves and choose, "[Stop Panam] Wait. About last night…," leading to a kiss and Johnny's approval.

Complete With a Little Help from My Friends

A few in-game days later, Panam calls for your help again at the Aldecaldos Camp. Agree to assist her by selecting, "OK, I’m in," and choose to ride with her. At the trainyard, engage in a heartfelt conversation, selecting: "[Stand by window] Missed you," "So let’s start," "Great plan. What went wrong?", "So far, so good," "Why’s it different with me?", and "[Touch Panam’s hand] Next time, try following that impulse." These choices deepen your connection. After leaving the tower, choose to get closer to Panam at the campfire with, "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold," furthering your romantic bond.

Complete Queen of the Highway

After some time away from the camp, Panam calls you back. Upon returning, enter the Basilisk with her and flirt by saying, "Nice and cozy in here." After the Basilisk battle, deepen your bond by selecting, "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let’s go," leading to a pivotal love scene. At the camp afterward, engage with Panam by choosing, "[Drink] Listen, what happened in the Basilisk…", "I’d love to. But I can’t," and "[Stand] I’ll think it over, I promise." After the Relic's malfunction, opt to stay with the Aldecaldos by saying, "I can stay for a bit. Thanks," and when parting with Panam, choose, "Honestly? I dunno," and "[Kiss Panam] Thanks for being here for me." This solidifies your relationship and unlocks The Star ending.

How to Go on Dates with Panam

Thanks to Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.1, once you've romanced Panam and she's living with you, you can enjoy the "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" mission. Reply to her message to invite her over to your apartment (except Dogtown) for a cozy night in, deepening your connection without the chaos of Night City.
