If you are looking to romance Alisa and get the “Yours Forever” achievement in Tainted Grail, there are a few key things you need to do during her questline. It’s a bit of a journey with right dialogue choices. This guide will help you step-by-step, from meeting her in the village to building a home together.
How to Romance Alisa in Tainted Grail
When you meet Alisa in the village tavern, she will ask for a little help. She is trying to buy a manor, but some bandits have taken it over. Your job is to head there and clear them out. Once it’s safe, return to Alisa and let her know. At this point, you can start flirting with her, say the manor is now “perfectly safe.” This starts the romance path with her.
Alisa’s Missing Husband
A few in-game days after that quest, head back to the manor. Alisa will tell you her husband has gone missing. She will ask you to check out a nearby miner’s cave.
When you find him, he’s wounded and will ask you to lie to Alisa, pretending he died. He even gives you his ring as “proof.” If you want to romance Alisa, you must lie and tell her he didn’t survive, that only his finger was left. As harsh as it sounds, this is crucial to unlocking the romance path.
Convince Her to Become a Merchant
After her husband’s supposed “death,” Alisa will talk about leaving. But you can convince her to stay and become a merchant instead. She will need a few items like Silk Gloves, Ragged Nobleman’s Doublet and Seashells to get started.
You will find the gloves and doublet in crates around the Miner’s Cave and town. To get seashells, defeat some Drowners and loot them. Remember to give her the Ragged Nobleman’s Doublet first.
Refuse Her Rewards to Build Trust
As you bring her each item, she will offer you a reward. Always refuse the reward. Tell her you just want to help; this builds your bond and is essential for the romance.
After all three items are delivered, she will make you an outfit, and some sweet dialogue will follow. Now you’ll get a chance to ask her out. But before doing that, make sure to repair the pier outside her house. Once that’s done, talk to her again to move to the final part of the quest.
Here, you will go on an outing with her. During the conversation, choose your responses carefully, just follow the flirtier or supportive dialogue options. If you mess this part up, she’ll say she wants to stay friends, and you’ll miss the achievement.
Assuming it goes well, things will heat up. Alisa will open up emotionally and talk about your adventures. She will express genuine interest in your life, hint at deeper feelings, and even make her first custom outfit for you.
Eventually, she will confess she has grown fond of you and is open to exploring a romantic connection. She may even suggest that you move in with her and fix up the manor together. From here, your bond strengthens, she will talk about turning the mansion into a shared home, planting a garden, and growing her fashion craft.
By the end, if you have chosen all the right dialogue and actions, Alyssa becomes your partner, and you unlock the “Yours Forever” trophy.
