You will find romancing Shani easier than any of your other romantic ventures. In the case of Triss, Yennefer, and even Keira Mertz, you had to romance them throughout several quests. Shani, however, can be romanced in pretty much a single quest.
Shani Romance in The Witcher 3
To romance Shani, complete the “Dead Man’s Party“ quest, where Geralt and Shani attend a close friend’s wedding. However, the ghost of Vlodimir von Everec takes over Geralt and constantly harasses Shani throughout the wedding.
Though Shani knows that Geralt is possessed, she is still left in a sad state. This sets the base for romancing Shani.
The “A Midnight Clear” quest becomes available at the end of the wedding. In this quest, you try to cheer up Shani and make your move on her.
Dialogue Choices to Romance Shani
In “A Midnight Clear” you will be asked to cheer up Shani using any means necessary. You can pull up Shani’s character entry to know more about her – specifically, what she takes a liking to.
Earlier that evening she also tells Geralt that she takes a lot of interest in Rowan plants. Aside from that, you can also use your Witcher Senses to locate other items of interest, a bottle of mead, for example.
However, we recommend giving her some Rowan Berries, which she will add to her hair. The berries can be found in a nearby bush.
Now, you need to find Shani inside the barn and provide her with the present that you decided on. They both will go out for a walk, and a sequence of dialogue options will begin. Though your choices vary the outcome, we recommend selecting the following options.
- You’ve got me
- It was all right!
- ‘Unfit’ – what’s that mean?
- That was Vlodimir, not me.
- Let her down easy. I prefer you.
After heading towards the lake, you need to select the following dialogue options:
- Better by a mile.
- Kiss sure didn’t sate me.
If you select all the dialogue options mentioned above, you will guarantee yourself some romantic moments with the redhead.
Depending on your earlier dialogue options, you may or may not get some additional dialogue with no outcome of the romance option. Also, you might see some cut scene variations in the end.
After everything is done and dusted, you will speak with Shani again before the quest concludes.
