"Cyberpunk 2077: Romancing Panam Guide"

Panam Palmer stands out as one of the most intriguing romance options for V in *Cyberpunk 2077*, but winning her heart is no simple task. It requires navigating a series of quests that are not only engaging but also pivotal in building a deep connection with this fiery Aldecaldo. Embarking on this journey in Act 2, players must ensure they're using the Male V Voice and Body Type to pursue a romance with Panam. Below, we've outlined every mission critical to forging a romantic bond with her.

Complete Ghost Town

In the Main Job "Ghost Town," which follows "Playing for Time" at the start of Act 2, V meets Johnny Silverhand's former flame, Rogue Amendiares, who directs them to Panam Palmer. Despite a rocky start, helping Panam retrieve her car from the Raffen at Rocky Ridge is crucial. Players can choose stealth or go in guns blazing; what's important is supporting Panam when she seeks revenge on Nash. When she asks about joining her on this quest, V should respond with "OK. So where's this hideout?" After successfully taking down Nash, V can ask Panam "Feel better now?" leading to a celebratory drink at the Sunset Motel. Here, choosing to toast "To your ride!" or "To what's ahead!" sets the stage for flirting with Panam, hinting at sharing a room. Even if she doesn't catch on to the flirtation immediately, it's a step in the right direction.

Complete Lightning Breaks

Following the events at the Sunset Motel, "Lightning Breaks" begins as V finds Panam working on her car in the garage. This mission involves bringing down a Kang Tao AV and kidnapping Anders Hellman, with no dialogue directly affecting the romance path. Staying close to Panam and following her lead smoothly transitions into the next quest, "Life During Wartime."

Complete Life During Wartime

At the crashed Kang Tao AV, V's task is to rescue Mitch. The choice of who shoots the Kang Tao guard doesn't matter, but expressing sympathy by saying "I'm sorry about Scorpion" shows empathy during a tense moment. When confronted by the Aldecaldos and their leader Saul, defending Panam with "It really wasn't Panam's fault" is crucial. After the mission, respond to Panam's message with "Maybe Mitch was right. You should go back. Settle everything once and for all." Wait a few in-game hours or days, engaging in other activities until Panam calls to initiate "Riders of the Storm."

Complete Riders of the Storm

In "Riders of the Storm," the urgency to save Saul from the Wraiths is paramount. When Panam asks for help, V should affirm their friendship with "We're chooms, that's why," and opt to ride with her by saying "Yeah, 'course." The mission's success hinges on rescuing Saul from the basement, but it's the post-mission interactions that matter. During the argument between Panam and Saul, V should choose "Let's take it easy – you're both tired" or "Shitty idea, Panam's right" to support Panam. This leads to a flirtatious exchange at a makeshift motel where V can escalate the romance with options like "Pleased with your stay, ma'am?" and "You'd be more comfortable with your shoes off, ma'am," culminating in a bold move with "[Touch Panam's thigh] Got a few ideas." Although Panam rejects these advances initially, the next morning, V can seize the moment with "[Stop Panam] Wait. About last night…" leading to a kiss and Johnny's approval as Panam rides off into the Badlands.

Complete With a Little Help from My Friends

A few in-game days later, Panam calls V back to the Aldecaldos Camp for "With a Little Help from My Friends." Agreeing to help with "OK, I'm in" and choosing to ride with her sets the tone for the mission. At the trainyard, climbing the tower with Panam offers a chance to deepen the bond with options like "[Stand by window] Missed you" and "[Touch Panam's hand] Next time, try following that impulse." These choices pave the way for further romantic developments. After the mission, choosing to "[Scooch closer] Gotten kinda cold" by the campfire solidifies the growing affection.

Complete Queen of the Highway

After "With a Little Help from My Friends," spend an in-game day away from the camp, engaging in other activities until Panam calls again. Upon returning, enter the Basilisk with her and flirt with "Nice and cozy in here." After the Basilisk battle, sync your synapses with Panam, selecting "[Let Panam touch you] Oh, yeah. Let's go," leading to a pivotal love scene that cements the relationship. Back at the camp, continue the dialogue with "[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 the Relic's malfunction, choose to "I can stay for a bit. Thanks" when offered to stay by Mitch and Saul, and conclude the sequence with "[Kiss Panam] Thanks for being here for me" as you part ways, unlocking The Star ending and solidifying your romance with Panam.

How to Go on Dates with Panam

Thanks to Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.1, players can enjoy the mission "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" after romancing a character they cohabit with. Respond to Panam's message and invite her to any of V's apartments (except Dogtown) for a cozy night in, strengthening your bond further.
