Baldur’s Gate 3 recently won Game Of The Year 2023. Not only that, but the game just recently came out on Xbox Series X|S. As such, there will likely be an influx of people wondering how to romance one or all of the NPCs. If you are one of those people or just want a refresher, then you’re in luck. Here’s our Baldur’s Gate 3 guide on how the player can increase the Approval of Wyll, as well as how to romance him afterward.

Baldur’s Gate 3 – Wyll Romance and Approval Guide

To romance a character, the player must first increase that character’s Approval of them. This is affected by the player’s words during conversations, as well as their actions during the game. Needless to say, each Companion in Baldur’s Gate 3 has different likes or dislikes. What works for one Companion will not necessarily work for the other. As such, the player must adjust their actions depending on whose approval they are trying to raise,

Wyll Approval Guide

To increase Wyll’s approval of the player, they must first understand what Wyll likes and dislikes. Here is a general list of the things that Wyll likes and dislikes when it comes to conversation and actions:

  • Approval up:
    • As Wyll is also a hero of the people, as long as the player does heroic or good deeds, Wyll’s approval of the player will increase.
    • When doing Gale’s personal quest, the player has a chance to increase Wyll’s approval of them. The player can do this by siding and sticking with Wyll.
    • Whenever the player expresses their hate or dislike for monsters, Wyll’s approval of them will also increase.
    • Helping those in need is an easy way to increase Wyll’s approval of the player.
    • If the player reinforces Wyll’s beliefs, his approval of them will also increase.
    • If the player shows ruthlessness towards goblins and devils, then his approval of the player will also increase.
  • Approval down:
    • Since Wyll is a hero, doing evil deeds will decrease his approval of the player.
    • He dislikes it when the player displays selfishness or entitlement.
    • If the player displayed sentiment for or supports devils, goblins, or other monsters, they will dislike the character.
    • Engaging in cruel behavior is also an easy way of decreasing his approval of the player.
    • Siding with Mizora, Wyll’s patron, is an easy way to get on Wyll’s bad side. If the player goes even further and enters a romantic relationship with Mizora, then Wyll will have some choice words with the player.

Should the player want to pursue dialogue options, actions, or quests that will cause Wyll’s Approval to go down, it is possible to do so in a way that will prevent the Approval from lowering. The player can do this by leaving Wyll in the camp, or by making sure that he is not nearby when the player does the quest or dialogue.

Wyll Romance Guide

Act 1

To romance Wyll in Act 1, the player must first reach a certain point of approval with him. Afterward, they must make some progress in the main storyline. The player must first complete the Druid’s Grove questline, choosing to rescue Halsin and the refugees. His approval of the player must also be high before rescuing Halsin. Afterward, they must then take a long rest at their campsite. Upon finishing the long rest, the refugees will hold a celebration for the player and their companions.

The player can then go to Wyll to initiate a conversation. The player can choose anything for the first two prompts. After he tells you about his past dancing skills, choose one of the following options:

  • I want to dance with you./Can’t you tell why I really followed you out here?

This will then lead to a persuasion check where you can get a kiss from Wyll. If you succeed, he will kiss you. If not, then Wyll will just tell you that there will be “another time for us.”

It’s also important to note that there will be a big change in Gayle depending on how they deal with Karlach. If the player decides to spare Karlach, then Mizora will change Wyll’s appearance and turn him into a devil. However, if the player instead decides to kill Karlach, then Mizora won’t turn Wyll into a devil.

Act 2

Wyll’s romance scene can trigger during the night after a rest. The player will discover Wyll dancing in the camp. You must then choose the following options:

  • Nice form. Where’d you learn to dance like that?/Stay quiet, and watch Wyll dance
  • A new partner? And who might that be/Trust me. I don’t think you could fail anyone if you tried
  • Smile and bow

The player must then make a skill check, depending on which one they have confidence in. Just make sure not to stand still. The player’s next choice will depend on whether or not they succeed in a skill check.

  • On success, choose one of the following:
    • Take a bow
    • Smile nervously
  • On a fail, choose one of the following:
    • You’re a beautiful dancer. I’m sure you’ll teach me in no time
    • Smile in embarrassment

Wyll then invites the player to a more intimate dance. Select the following options:

  • Press your lips against Wyll’s/Invite him closer with a knowing look – it’s what you both want
  • I was hoping we might spend the night… together/Move in for another kiss

If you try to invite Wyll for the night, however, he will turn you down. This is because Wyll believes in the traditional way.

Act 3

The player must first deal with the Duke Ravenguard situation to learn about the Tale of Ansur. After learning about it, the player will receive a prompt to talk to Wyll the next time they rest. Speaking to him will trigger a scene where he reflects on his past. The player can pick anything for the first prompt, but must select the following option for the next one:

  • Smile and take Wyll’s hand/All right. But this better be worth it

Wyll will then take the player to the Wilden Oak, where he will tell a story about himself. The player must then choose the following option:

  • Enjoy the view. Enjoy Wyll’s quiet company.

Afterward, Wyll will get on one knee and propose to the player using an acorn from the Wilden Oak. The player must then choose the following options:

  • Yes, yes yes!/Take the acorn and nod
  • Join Wyll in the grass. Give yourself to him completely/It’s about time. Let’s see what the Blade can do with his weapon

This will reward the player with a romance scene with Wyll.
