In addition to starting a relationship with a companion, “romancing” them is also possible. It is best to build your relationship with your companions as much as possiblebefore you rescue Druid Halsin and complete the Save the Refugees side quest. This is because you will gain a lot of dialogue options that can lead to a romance with your chosen companion during the refugee celebration. However, if you don’t have a good relationship with a companion, the dialogue options to romance them won’t appear.
Below are the dialog options you want to choose with the companion you want to romance during the refugee celebration (except for Minthara and Wyll). After conversing with a companion during the refugee celebration, you musthead to bed and choose which companion you want to romance.

Rest a night and then approach him in camp again. When Gale opens up to you, comfort him to gain his approval. This will lead to Gale being interested in spending time alone with you. Next, head to your bedroll and choose to sleep with Gale.
How to romance Karlach inBG3
You need to complete Karlach’s quest by killing the Paladins and then choose all the dialogue options that favor her. After that, when you do the refugee party at your camp, you can choose a dialogue option that basically says“I really like you Karlach”and she immediately reciprocates it and tells you she’ll meet you tonight.
Like all romance, you can romance her right away, have a deeper relationship, or turn her down. The thing that’s different about Karlach is that she’s too hot to touch, so you can’t be intimate in a physical manner.
Instead, you need tofind infernal ironand give it to a Tiefling weaponsmith in the Tiefling camp to start the process of cooling down the engine that’s replaced her heart.

How to romance Wyll inBG3
Romancing Wyll is a longer process compared to the rest of the companions. This is because you must complete the below steps to gain the option to romance him later in the game.
First, speak to Wyll at the camp and ask him about the Goglins and Tieflings. Then, take Wyll out of your party and go to Blighted Village. From here, speak with Spike and convince him to give you the prisoner. Do not choose the option to torture him but instead free him.
Head back to the camp and add Wyll back to your party. Next, head to the Goblin Camp and look for Spike. Speak about Mizora and then kill Spike and Abirak after you see the dialogue that stakes Mizora is not there. End your day, talk to Wyll at camp, listen to his speech about Mizor, and then sleep. Head back to the Goblin Camp and speak with Halsin. After that, you must kill all Goblin leaders with Wyll in your party. This will finally unlock the option to romance Wyll.
