This guide details how to romance Panam Palmer in Cyberpunk 2077. Note: This romance is only available to Male V.
Prerequisites: You must be playing as Male V and have progressed to Act 2.
Key Missions: Successfully completing these missions in the correct order is crucial for unlocking the Panam romance.
1. Complete Ghost Town:
This main job begins after "Playing for Time." Agree to help Panam retrieve her car. After defeating Nash, choose "OK. So where’s this hideout?" At the Sunset Motel, select either "To your ride!" or "To what’s ahead!" when toasting. Then, flirt with Panam by saying "Maybe we get just one room?" Sleep at the motel to complete the mission.
2. Complete Lightning Breaks:
This mission follows Ghost Town. There are no dialogue choices that significantly impact the romance. Simply follow the objectives and stick close to Panam.
3. Complete Life During Wartime:
When confronted with 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 and complete other quests until Panam contacts you. It's crucial to respond to Panam within 24 in-game hours after this mission.
4. Complete Riders of the Storm:
Agree to help Panam save Saul. Choose "We’re chooms, that’s why" when offered help, and "Yeah, ‘course" when asked about riding with her. After saving Saul, choose either "Let’s take it easy – you’re both tired" or "Shitty idea, Panam’s right." During the subsequent conversation, select the flirtatious options: "Pleased with your stay, ma’am?", "You’d be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma’am", and "Got a few ideas." (the last option involves touching Panam's thigh). After waking up, initiate a conversation with Panam and select "Wait. About last night…" to trigger a kiss and complete the mission.
5. Complete With a Little Help from My Friends:
Agree to help Panam ("OK, I’m in") and ride with her ("I’m riding with you"). During the conversation at the communications tower, choose the following options: "Missed you," "So let’s start," "Great plan. What went wrong?", "So far, so good," "Why’s it different with me?", and "Next time, try following that impulse." At the campfire, choose "Gotten kinda cold."
6. Complete Queen of the Highway:
After waiting a day, return to the Aldecaldos camp. Flirting with Panam ("Nice and cozy in here") will lead to a love scene after the Basilisk battle. After waking up, select "I can stay for a bit. Thanks." Then, choose either "Honestly? I dunno" or "Thanks for being here for me."
Post-Romance: After completing "Queen of the Highway," you'll have unlocked the Star ending and can continue your romance with Panam. Update 2.1 introduces the "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" mission, allowing you to invite Panam to your apartment for a cozy night in.
Remember to complete these missions sequentially and make the suggested dialogue choices to ensure a successful romance with Panam Palmer.
