Meredith Stout is a Corpo Agent working at Militech who you can romance in CyberPunk 2077. The player will meet her early in the game. She is an optional quest, therefore romancing with her is not necessary to progress in the game.
However, if you are interested in building a relationship with Meredith Stout, and getting a sex scene in the hotel, this article highlights all the requirements in this regard.
How to meet Meredith Stout in Cyberpunk 2077
Meredith Stout is encountered first as a Corpo Agent during ‘The Pickup’ primary mission. During this mission, there will be a secondary objective to talk with her.
Upon interaction, the player is required to visit the All Foods Plant where the Maelstrom gang is located.

Meredith Stout is bisexual therefore the player can romance her with both male and female characters. The player is not required to play as Corpo to romance her as lifepath is not important. Remember that the relationship with Meredith Stout is short-term.
How to romance Meredith Stout in Cyberpunk 2077
To romance Meredith, the player is required to complete her questline by doing the following missions:
The Pickup Job
The Pickup is the 6th main quest in the game. During this mission, there will be a secondary objective to talk to the Corpo Agent Meredith Stout. To romance Meredith Stout, this step is necessary, so we recommend giving her a call when the optional objective pops up.
Make sure that you don’t attack her bodyguards or her. After talking, it doesn’t matter if you accept the money chip or the infected credchip that she will offer you.
We recommend picking the following order of dialogues while talking to Meredith.
“[Shake Hand] Correct” > “I just wanna talk” > “Yep. All by my lonesome.” > “Don’t Know Him” > “You want info. I want a bot. Let’s make a deal.” > “No way. Not happenin”.
Food Processing Plant
Your next objective will be to visit the Maelstrom Gang in the Food Processing Plant. Now, there are two paths that you can take.
It doesn’t matter what path you take in terms of romance with Meredith. However, the way you play out the path is important in determining whether you romance Meredith Stout or not.
If you took the chip from Meredith, you should give it to the gang. The chip is infected with a virus, resulting in a fight with the Maelstrom gang. When that happens, you will have to shoot Royce.
The other path you can take is to ask for a discount from the gang and buy the Flathead. Alternatively, you could also shoot Royce whilst having the conversation.
Either way, you have to kill the gang and its leader, Royce, and rob the Flathead Militech in the end. Follow these dialogues while talking with the Maelstroms:
“Sit” > “[Calm Jackie] Jackie, sit down.” > “I’ll pass” > “Show it to me” > “We’ll take it” > “Really expect me to pay twice?” > “Prepared to offer us a discount?” > “Take Down Royce” > “Shoot Royce.”
Now that you know what you should do here, let us tell you a few things that you don’t want to do if you want to save Meredith from the gang. First off, do not warn the gang about the Chip being corrupted. Secondly, do not remove the virus from the Chip.
Venus in Furs
Now that you’ve ended things with Meredith on favorable conditions by killing the Maelstrom, you will receive another objective sometime in Act 2 to talk to Meredith, mentioning that you want to see her again.
After contacting the Militech agent, she’ll send you a flirty text message. You can reply to her message in any way, but she won’t be available if you do not reply to it at all.
This message will initiate the ‘Venus in Furs’ quest, which you can locate on the map. Meredith will ask you to meet at a No-Tell Motel for a passionate scene.
Track the location from the journal menu and go there. At this point, there will be just one option to select, “So What Now?” after which she will grab you, and the romp shall begin.
Meredith will send you one last text message, and this shall conclude your relationship with Meredith Stout in Cyberpunk 2077.
Fun fact: you can also find a unique weapon – Sir John Phallustiff – on the bed when you wake up after the scene.
