📋 About This Mod

Unlocks Shadowheart's Act 3 romance scene if you missed your chance to learn that she likes night orchids and can't swim

Well... I like night orchids and can't swim. Is that the sort of thing you meant?

One of the requirements for Shadowheart's Act 3 romance scene (on her Selûnite path) is knowing that she can't swim. Normally, missing this detail earlier in the game locks you out of the scene entirely. This mod removes this requirement for the scene.

If you didn’t learn about her swimming struggles earlier, she'll tell you here if you ask for more information (this is optional -- the swimming scene will happen as long as you don't refuse her).

This alternative dialogue already exists in the game, but it's currently impossible to trigger:

Nodes 44, 12, 27: There are no flags here checking for what the player did/didn't learn about Shadowheart, so I added them in.

Camp night requirements

The remaining requirements for unlocking her camp night are the same as the vanilla game:

  • []Partnered with Shadowheart

    []40+ approval with Shadowheart

  • Shadowheart is an Enemy of Shar

    This camp night can happen at any Act 3 camp: Rivington, Elfsong, or Slums.

    ⚠️ NOTE: This camp scene starts off when you end the day. Shadowheart will have a [ ! ] over her head to indicate that she has something important to say:

    This is your only shot at getting the scene. If you long rest without talking to her (a pop-up will warn you that someone in camp still wants to talk to you), the scene will still get added to the list of camp nights that already happened and will no longer be available.

    If you're too far away, you might not be able to see the [ ! ] over Shadowheart's head, so be sure to make the rounds at night, especially if you get the warning that someone wants to chat.

    When was I supposed to learn that she can't swim??

    Earlier in the game, after learning that she worships Shar, you can say, "I want to get to know you more, Shadowheart." From there, you can ask her to tell you something about herself besides Shar. This sets the ORI_Shadowheart_Knows_PersonalInfo flag that is required to unlock the swimming scene later.

    The "I want to get to know you more, Shadowheart" option disappears after you say it, or after she becomes an Enemy of Shar at the end of Act 2 (by sparing the Nightsong)
