# Cyberpunk 2077 — Romance Guide
In Night City, there's more than just combat. There's love too.

Key Choices:

- At the bar, express your care for her
- Touch her leg on the Basilisk (⚠️ CRITICAL choice!)
- Final mission: don't reject her physical advances

# The Pisces Trap ⚠️
During the Pisces mission, you face Maiko's plan:
| Your Choice | Result |
|---|---|
| Reject Maiko's plan (stand with Judy, fight) | ✅ Romance continues |
| Accept Maiko's plan, but refuse her money | ✅ Romance continues |
| Accept Maiko's plan AND take her money | ❌ Romance permanently ends |
🔴 If you take Maiko's money, Judy leaves Night City and removes you from her contacts — irreversible!
# The Pyramid Song Choice

- Spend the night at the cabin
- The next morning at the dock — choose "The beginning of something amazing" to lock in the romance

The romance is officially triggered at the dock conversation in Pyramid Song, NOT during Pisces. But Pisces determines whether you get to see Pyramid Song at all.

River has the shortest quest chain of the four romance options (only 3 side missions).

Gender: Male V (male body type + male voice)
Quest Chain: Holdin' On → Second Conflict → A Like Supreme → Rebel! Rebel! → I Don't Wanna Hear It → Off the Leash → Boat Drinks
