You can romance Ashley in Mass Effect 3, because Sgt. Ashley Williams is no longer MIA. Returning as a main character, shell join your team early to help serve the Alliance in their time of need. Lucky for Male Shepards everywhere, Ashley has chilled out since her first appearance, but youll still need to earn her trust.
Ashley isnt a fan of Cerberus, help her understand how youve changed and youll have a chance to continue a relationship, or even start an all new relationship with Ash. How to romance Ashley, read the guide below.
Warning: All serious relationships are final! You can only have one romantic relationship. Entering one will nullify others.
Rule of Thumb: Always choose Polite or Paragon choices while talking to potential partners. Generally, those are the upper choice, with Impolite or Renegade options below.
- Prerequisite: She must survive the events of ME1. She will only enter a romance with Male Shepard.
- After the early events of the game, Ashley will spend time in the Huerta Memorial Hospital. Visit her between missions, choosing Paragon responses (Upper!) to show her interest.
- Old romances from ME1 can be rekindled, or new Male Shepards can start fresh.
- During the early conversations before her injury, make sure to choose the Paragon options as well.
- Even when shes unconscious in the Citadel, visit her and offer some kind words anyway. While there, you can purchase a special item, a Tennyson Collection, at the store terminal in the hospital lobby. You may have to wait until shes awake to purchase and gift the special item.
- Visit her; during your first trip to the Citadel, after the mission on Palaven, and a third time before finishing the Tuchanka missions. Afterwards, shell be ready to rejoin you.
- After Tuchanka, and during the mission in the Citadel, youll want your trust high enough so Ashley will side with you during the ending confrontation.
- If you were in another relationship in ME2, youll need to apologize and confirm that youre interested in Ashley.
- After she joins again, eventually shell offer to meet at the Presidium Commons. If she doesnt push for a serious relationship, you can. With that, youll be well on your way to sealing the deal.
