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. Completing them in order is vital. Failure to progress within the specified timeframe may result in missed opportunities.
1. Complete Ghost Town:
This main job, unlocked after "Playing for Time," introduces Panam. Agree to help her retrieve her car. Choose to help her with revenge against Nash. At the Sunset Motel, select flirtatious dialogue options, leading to sharing a room. Choose either "To your ride!" or "To what's ahead!" when toasting, and then suggest "Maybe we get just one room?".
2. Complete Lightning Breaks:
This mission follows directly from Ghost Town. While dialogue choices don't significantly impact the romance, staying close to Panam and following her instructions is recommended.
3. Complete Life During Wartime:
When confronted by the Aldecaldos and Saul, defend Panam by selecting: "It really wasn’t Panam’s fault." After the mission, reply to Panam's message with: "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all." Wait a few in-game hours/days before proceeding to the next quest.
4. Complete Riders of the Storm:
Respond to Panam's request for help with: "We’re chooms, that’s why," and choose "Yeah, ‘course" when offered a ride. After rescuing Saul, choose either "Let’s take it easy – you’re both tired" or "Shitty idea, Panam’s right." At the motel, pursue flirtatious dialogue: "Pleased with your stay, ma’am?", "You’d be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma’am", or "[Touch Panam’s thigh] Got a few ideas." The next morning, initiate a conversation with "[Stop Panam] Wait. About last night…"
5. Complete With a Little Help from My Friends:
Agree to help Panam ("OK, I’m in") and ride with her. Choose flirtatious dialogue options during the conversation at the communications tower, culminating in "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold."
6. Complete Queen of the Highway:
After waiting a day, return to the Aldecaldos camp. Flirt with Panam ("Nice and cozy in here"). During the Basilisk sequence, choose "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let’s go." After the love scene, continue with appropriate dialogue choices to solidify your relationship.
Post-Romance: After completing "Queen of the Highway," you'll have unlocked the Star ending path and can enjoy your romance with Panam. Update 2.1 adds the "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" mission, allowing for cozy dates at V's apartment.
This detailed walkthrough ensures a successful romance with Panam Palmer. Remember to pay attention to dialogue choices and time constraints.
