"Cyberpunk 2077: Guide to Romancing Panam"

Panam Palmer stands out as a compelling romance option in Cyberpunk 2077, offering V a chance at a meaningful connection amidst the chaos of Night City. Winning her heart, however, is no small feat and involves navigating several key quests. Here's a detailed guide on how to romance Panam Palmer, ensuring you don't miss a beat in this journey of love and adventure.

Complete Ghost Town

Your journey with Panam begins with the main job Ghost Town, which you'll encounter at the start of Act 2 following the Playing for Time quest. Your first task is to meet Rogue Amendiares at the Afterlife, where you'll be introduced to Panam. Despite a rocky start, helping Panam reclaim her car from the Raffen at Rocky Ridge can set the stage for a deeper connection.

Whether you choose stealth or a direct confrontation, the crucial moment comes when Panam seeks your help for revenge against Nash. Opt for the dialogue, "OK. So where’s this hideout?" to accompany her to the Raffen Shiv hideout. After the mission, celebrate at the Sunset Motel's bar. Here, select either "[Drink] To your ride!" or "[Drink] To what’s ahead!" to keep things light. When Panam mentions getting a room, flirt by suggesting, "Maybe we get just one room?" Although she might not pick up on it immediately, you're on the right track.

Complete Lightning Breaks

After resting at the Sunset Motel, head downstairs to the garage to start Lightning Breaks. This mission involves working closely with Panam to bring down the Kang Tao AV and kidnap Anders Hellman. Stick with her and follow her lead to smoothly transition into the next quest, Life During Wartime.

Complete Life During Wartime

In Life During Wartime, you'll head to the crashed Kang Tao AV with Panam. When it comes to dealing with the Kang Tao guard, it doesn't matter who takes the shot, but showing empathy by selecting "I’m sorry about Scorpion" will keep you in Panam's good graces. When confronted by Saul, stand up for Panam with the option, "It really wasn’t Panam’s fault." After the mission, reply to Panam's message with, "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all," and wait for her next call to start Riders of the Storm.

Complete Riders of the Storm

Respond to Panam's call and head to the Aldecaldos Camp within 24 in-game hours to start Riders of the Storm. When Panam asks for your help to rescue Saul from the Wraiths, choose, "We’re chooms, that’s why," and then, "Yeah, ‘course" to ride with her. Whether you opt for stealth or confrontation at the Wraith's compound, your goal is to save Saul. After escaping, de-escalate the argument between Panam and Saul with, "Let’s take it easy – you’re both tired," or, "Shitty idea, Panam’s right."

Back at the motel, continue flirting with Panam. Choose, "Pleased with your stay, ma’am?", "You’d be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma’am," and "[Touch Panam’s thigh] Got a few ideas." Although she rejects your advances, the next morning, stop her with, "[Stop Panam] Wait. About last night…", which will lead to a kiss, marking a significant step in your relationship.

Complete With a Little Help from My Friends

A few in-game days later, Panam will call again for With a Little Help from My Friends. Agree to help by selecting, "OK, I’m in," and choose to ride with her. At the trainyard, select, "[Stand by window] Missed you," and continue the conversation with, "So let’s start," "Great plan. What went wrong?", "So far, so good," "Why’s it different with me?", and "[Touch Panam’s hand] Next time, try following that impulse." This will deepen your bond. Later, by the campfire, choose, "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold," to spend the night close to her.

Complete Queen of the Highway

After With a Little Help from My Friends, wait an in-game day and return to the Aldecaldos Camp for Queen of the Highway. Enter the Basilisk with Panam and flirt with, "Nice and cozy in here." After the Basilisk battle, choose, "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let’s go," for a love scene that solidifies your relationship.

Back at camp, select, "[Drink] Listen, what happened in the Basilisk…", "I’d love to. But I can’t," and "[Stand] I’ll think it over, I promise." After waking up from the Relic's malfunction, agree to stay by choosing, "I can stay for a bit. Thanks." As you part ways, choose, "Honestly? I dunno," and "[Kiss Panam] Thanks for being here for me," to fully establish your romantic connection with Panam.

How to Go on Dates with Panam

With Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.1, you can further your relationship by completing the mission I Really Want To Stay At Your House. Once you've romanced Panam, you can invite her over to any of V's apartments (except Dogtown) for a cozy night in. While you won't be roaming Night City together, these intimate moments will strengthen your bond even further.

Romancing Panam Palmer in Cyberpunk 2077 not only adds depth to V's story but also unlocks The Star ending, providing a hopeful future in the often bleak landscape of Night City.
