All Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Romance Options Explained

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous allows players to romance some of their party members while battling demons and leading Crusades, but the player character’s gender and choices influence which party members and NPCs are available to romance. Like most modern RPGs, Pathfinder’s romance options offer another level of entertainment and replayability outside the main questline. Party members or other companions are often written so vibrantly players can’t help but fall for them.

Just like in real life however, each romance option in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has different tastes, preferences, and personalities. While some may appreciate a firmer, unwavering hero, others may prefer a compassionate warrior. WOTR offers seven characters for players to romance during the main campaign, including six party members and one NPC.

Every Romance Option in Pathfinder: WOTR

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous offers romances for all playstyles, encouraging players to follow their hearts when choosing the fate of Golarion. Each companion and NPC favors their own type of hero, and Pathfinder’s many impactful player choices combine with this to make the game vastly replayable. The following chart shows every romance option in a player’s Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous party, along with their preferences:

Each of these potential romance options in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous are detailed in full below.

Romancing Camellia in WOTR

Camellia follows the Ice Queen character tropes common in RPGs like BioWare’s Mass Effect, which may be a turn-off for players interested in fresher RPG romance stories. Camellia is one of the first companions that joins the player, making her a more common romance option in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous than characters that join later on, such as Arueshalae.

As a Spirit Hunter Shaman, Camellia prefers the company of spirits to her companions but can be convinced to spend more time with the player character and become kinder. Camellia also has the Courtier background, having spent much of her life in royal courts as an advisor to Golarion’s most powerful and influential royals. This results in a fair bit of arrogance that keeps her companions at arm’s length.

Though Pathfinder’s Camellia may seem like a lost cause, dedicated heroes can find a way to understand her callousness and encourage her to love again. Camellia prefers male characters and will only continue the romance in Wrath of the Righteous if they support her questionable hobbies.

Romancing Lann in WOTR

Lann depicts the tragic hero romance option in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Like in Dungeons and Dragons, playable character races provide benefits and disadvantages to each selection, forcing players to adapt with their choice and evolve throughout the story. Lann is what’s known as a Mongrel and has a very short lifespan due to his race. His wit and charm are enough to woo any hero, but he seeks a heroic death more than romantic connections.

The brevity of Lann’s life encourages him to seek out an honorable end without enjoying what years he has left. Lann is only a romance option in WOTR for female player characters, who can convince him that there’s more to life than a hero’s death. However, Lann’s romance is strained and vulnerable to sabotage if players side with Wenduag in Act 3 of WOTR’s story, causing Lann to leave the party until Act 5.

Lann’s status as a Mongrelman provides insight into the injustices and struggles throughout Golarion since before the demons broke through the portal, making his romance in Wrath of the Righteous one of the most complex and tragic.

Romancing Wenduag in WOTR

Playing evil characters in Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder can be an allure to some players, allowing them to explore a lesser-known side of each story with difficult choices and chaotic consequences. For players looking to embrace the darker side, Wenduag is the optimal Pathfinder romance option. Like Lann, Wenduag is a Mongrel that began her life in underground caves. However, she lacks his sarcastic charm and instead pursues a life of strength beyond all else.

These preferences lead to Wenduag revealing herself as mercilessly cruel. Players can romance Wenduag regardless of their character’s gender, but their choices and strategies must pursue strength above all else. This means Good and Neutral-aligned characters may not gain her favor as quickly as Chaotic or Evil-aligned characters. Wenduag can join the Prologue, but if players recruit Lann instead, she appears in Act 3 during Lann’s quest.

Romancing Daeran in WOTR

Like Camellia, Daeran Arendae comes from a noble background and suffers the same arrogance and flippancy that many members of royalty show towards the sacrifice of the Crusaders during the demonic war. However, compared to other romanceable characters in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, he is unique in that he is an Atheist, not choosing to worship any of the gods within WOTR’s pantheon.

Though Daeran possesses a small amount of charm, it’s often overridden by his entitlement and failure to take the calamity seriously. While the nobleman enjoys lavish parties, wicked scandals, and careless whirls, dedicated players can show Daeran what truly matters. This nobleman is available to romance for all players, though he prefers Commanders who don’t take things seriously all the time. While he urges his leader to enjoy the little things in life while they still can, players can also teach Daeran that it’s okay to care about something other than himself.

Romancing Sosiel in WOTR

Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons utilize similar systems with classes and abilities, leading to the appearance of Clerics in both universes. Sosiel is one such Cleric who encompasses the healing spirit and compassionate mind of these lovely healers.

A dedicated servant to Shelyn, the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Art, Sosiel began assisting in the war effort to help others preserve their humanity in the face of the demonic hordes. Though Sosiel sees beauty in everyone, he is only interested in a relationship with men. Pathfinder character builds of any alignment can pursue a connection with this Cleric and become his dark, forbidden love or charming heroic partner.

Sosiel first appears when players become the Commander of Crusaders and is immediately recruitable into the party at the Crusaders Camp. Sosiel is Pathfinder’s softest romantic partner, struggling to keep his heart pure and his faith intact as war rages on. While Sosiel’s duty as one of Pathfinder’s best healers often takes priority, romancing him allows players to defend him with the same passion he shows others, resulting in heartwarming interactions and connections.

Romancing Arueshalae in WOTR

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, like Dungeons and Dragons, features many playable races and backstories to ensure no two characters are alike. Arueshalae proves the formula is working, making a brilliant addition to the player’s party in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Arueshalae is a succubus who defies her demonic nature and seeks to redeem herself from her base instincts. She arrives later in the campaign during Act 2, where players can locate her in the Drezen Prison during the Siege of Drezen. Arueshalae is one of the more straightforward romances among Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous’ companions, allowing players to flirt with her from their first conversation.

Players should avoid pursuing a physical relationship for as long as possible to help defy her succubus nature and assist in her redemption arc. Emotional connections with this beautiful companion are far more critical than physical relations, especially considering succubus kisses can be deadly to its recipients. There are no restrictions to what alignment Arueshalae prefers. She is open to relationships with player characters of all types, making her one of the most accepting romances in the game.

Romancing Queen Galfrey in WOTR

Queen Galfrey is the only Wrath of the Righteous romance option (normally) unavailable for recruitment into a Pathfinder player’s party. As her name suggests, she is the current monarch of Mendev and responsible for the war effort against the demonic invasion. Her many Crusades have brought about countless victories, molding her into the symbol of hope the people need to resist the demonic overlords.

However, the war’s high casualties weigh heavily on her, leaving Galfrey alone under the pressure of leading a country and army. Players can romance her by following a Good or Non-Chaotic Mystic Path during gameplay, earning her respect and attraction. She is attracted to male and female character types alike and can even join the party after a successful romance.

To coerce Queen Galfrey to join the party, players must venture to Threshold after a successful courtship and speak to her, thereby recruiting a powerful force into their adventuring crew. Unfortunately, players drawn to Chaotic Alignments in Pathfinder may be scorned and turned away by the warrior Queen.
