Dragon’s Dogma 2 – Romance And Affinity Guide

You’ll meet hundreds of characters in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Funnily enough, you can improve your relationship with most of them. A few even have arcs that lead to something that’s more than just friendship. Here’s our Dragon’s Dogma 2 romance and affinity guide to help you with this particular mechanic.

How affinity and romance work in Dragon’s Dogma 2

The Dragon’s Dogma 2 romance and affinity mechanic is, generally speaking, dependent on giving gifts to NPCs. Almost all named NPCs are part of this, though a select few can become romantic partners.

Fierce foes and loyal companions await you as you journey onward in Dragon’s Dogma 2. For other tips and strategies, you can visit our guides hub.

How to give gifts to NPCs

You can give gifts to named NPCs by starting a conversation with them. In the middle of dialogue, you should see the “Gift” action/prompt. Press this button to open your inventory panel, which allows you to select a particular item that can be given to the character.

Characters can include everyone from those that play major or supporting roles in the story, right down to your average vendor, innkeeper, or oxcart driver.

Note that affinity can only increase once per day. That means you have to rest periodically while handing out gifts to people.

How to check preferred gifts

You can check the types of gifts that an NPC wants by checking the History – NPC Logbook tab. Each NPC has certain gifts that they like. These include beautiful items like flowers or expensive items such as gemstones.

Other ways to improve relationship boosts

If you want to make the most out of the Dragon’s Dogma 2 romance mechanic, then you should find ways to boost affinity gains further:

• Trickster augment: Allure – The Trickster is an unlockable class/vocation. One of the augments that you can obtain is Allure, which helps you increase your bonds with others easily.
• Seeker’s Tokens: Eternal Bond – There’s also the Eternal Bond ring, which can be given to a character to greatly increase your relationship level with them. You can acquire this once you’ve collected 120 Seeker’s Tokens.

Rewards for having high affinity

If you have high affinity with characters, you’ll notice how they blush when you speak with them. They may even
