Panam Palmer emerges as a compelling romance option for V in *Cyberpunk 2077*, offering a challenging yet rewarding journey to win her heart. As a fierce and independent member of the Aldecaldos, her romance arc spans several quests throughout Act 2, enriching V's experience in the dystopian landscape of Night City.
To embark on this romantic path, players must ensure they are using the Male V Voice and Male V Body Type. With these prerequisites met, the journey to romance Panam unfolds through a series of key missions:
Complete Ghost Town
Initiating in Act 2 after the 'Playing for Time' quest, 'Ghost Town' introduces players to Panam through Johnny Silverhand's old flame, Rogue Amendiares. Meeting Panam at the Afterlife, players must agree to help her retrieve her car from the Raffen at Rocky Ridge. The choice between stealth or a loud approach doesn't impact the romance, but agreeing to help Panam seek revenge against Nash by selecting "OK. So where's this hideout?" sets the stage for further connection. Celebrate at the Sunset Motel's bar with a beer, choosing either "[Drink] To your ride!" or "[Drink] To what's ahead!" to further the bond. Flirt with Panam by suggesting "Maybe we get just one room?" to lay the groundwork for romance, even if she doesn't immediately catch on.
Complete Lightning Breaks
Following the night at the Sunset Motel, 'Lightning Breaks' begins in the garage. Help Panam bring down the Kang Tao AV and kidnap Anders Hellman, sticking close to her to smoothly transition into the next quest, 'Life During Wartime'.
Complete Life During Wartime
At the crashed Kang Tao AV, choose to sympathize with Panam by saying "I'm sorry about Scorpion" when discussing the loss of Scorpion. When confronted by Saul and the Aldecaldos, defend Panam by choosing "It really wasn't Panam's fault." After the mission, respond to Panam's message with "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all," and wait for her call to start 'Riders of the Storm' within 24 in-game hours to keep the romance on track.
Complete Riders of the Storm
Upon reaching the Aldecaldos Camp, agree to help Panam rescue Saul from the Wraiths by saying "We're chooms, that's why," and opt to ride with her. During the rescue, support Panam in her argument with Saul by choosing "Let's take it easy – you're both tired" or "Shitty idea, Panam's right." Flirt with Panam during the subsequent downtime, choosing playful dialogue options leading to a kiss the next morning, solidifying your bond.
Complete With a Little Help from My Friends
After a few in-game days, agree to help Panam at the Aldecaldos Camp. During your time at the trainyard, engage in heartfelt conversation, selecting options like "[Stand by window] Missed you," "So let's start," and "[Touch Panam's hand] Next time, try following that impulse." These choices deepen your relationship, culminating in a cozy moment by the campfire where you can choose "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold."
Complete Queen of the Highway
After 'With a Little Help from My Friends,' wait for Panam's call to return to the camp. Enter the Basilisk and flirt with Panam by saying "Nice and cozy in here." Sync your synapses during the Basilisk battle, choosing "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let's go," to share an intimate moment. Post-battle, discuss your relationship at the camp, choosing options like "[Drink] Listen, what happened in the Basilisk…" and "[Kiss Panam] Thanks for being here for me," to solidify your romance and unlock The Star ending.
How to Go on Dates with Panam
With *Cyberpunk 2077*'s Update 2.1, players can enjoy the mission 'I Really Want To Stay At Your House' after romancing Panam. Respond to her message and invite her to any of V's apartments (excluding Dogtown) for a cozy night in, deepening your connection without the chaos of Night City.
