This Mass Effect: Andromeda romance guide will tell you how to romance every available character. Mass Effect: Andromeda has many romance and relationship options for both the Ryder twins, with some romance options being exclusive depending on your chosen gender. With hundreds of planets to visit and places to explore, it can be easy to miss people who you can romance. As such, we’ve collected all possible romance options in Mass Effect: Andromeda, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these characters!

There are ten romance options in Mass Effect: Andromeda, with four characters that can be romanced by both twins, and six characters that have a single preference of either male of female Ryder. So while female Ryder can romance Liam, male Ryder cannot. Many of your squadmates also fall under the romance option category, so it's important you know where to find squadmates and companions.

Romancing three different characters across all playthroughs will unlock  the Matchmaker Achievement and Trophy. Once you finish romancing all the characters, be sure to track down all the Architects!

How to Romance Characters

There are a few general guidelines you will need to follow in order to open up the romance option for the above characters you encounter in Mass Effect: Andromeda. First, you will need to flirt with a character three times before a romance option becomes available. The flirt option is highlighted by a love heart during conversations.

To ensure you do this, always find and talk with your romance options whenever you reach a new location or finish a mission. Second, if the character you want to romance in Mass Effect: Andromeda is a squadmate, you will need to complete their Loyalty Mission if they have one. This task must be done along with the flirt-three-times task.

Third, ensure you read all the emails that are sent to you by the character you are romancing. This will help you secure further romance options. Finally, you are able to flirt and romance as many other characters as you please, but once you commit to exclusivity, you will not be able to flirt with anyone else. Well, except Keri, because she doesn’t care.
