Some issues with Karlach's romance triggers

[gumaksov]

If I've done 2 Karlach's quests in Act 1 - defeated guys which were after her (during the mission she was in my party and after that quest I talked to her and chose all necessary lines) and also gave a piece of infernal iron to Dammon so he could fix Karlach for the first time. But after that I didn't talk to her in the camp and after reading some guides it seems that it was important to do for the romance trigger and her first kiss attempt.. then, after saving the grove I tried to talk to her during the party and chose the dialogue variant which showed my attraction to her, but she said she didn't wanna rush it. Is it the end for the romance or is there any chance to see more romance scenes with her if I talk to Dammon in act 2 and give him the second piece of Infernal Iron? (which i've already have btw)

Sorry for the wall of text, it just seems that playing in 4-man-party is making romances a bit hard to progress, because you only talk with your passions in the camp and couple of quests...

Well you can't do anything with her really until you figure out how to touch her without burning up.

I understand, but if I didn't try to touch her through dialogues while she isn't
"cured" yet - won't it prevent me from progress in romance?

No, there's even a special dialog if you haven't fully cured her yet.

You should get the option to kiss her right when Dammon fixes her heart for the first time. If you got the option and didn't take it you're probably done. If you didn't get the option she may not like you enough or you accidentally or deliberately flirted with another party member earlier in the game. The first attempted kiss seems to be what triggers the romance and it has to happen with the first repair.

I didn't try to kiss her after the first fix, but didn't get anyone's great lvl of approval either... Anyway it's sad if I'm now unable to go through romance...

So long as you've given him the iron, and haven't "broken up" with Karlach, you should be fine.

If you're concerned about the Achievement, that doesn't pop until well into Act 3.

Karlach is actually pretty easy to get into a romance with. If she likes you, she'll approach you first during the night when you try to long rest, thats when you can tell her you like her and have your first attempt at a kiss.

Later on, if she mentions "Have you found a way to cool me down yet?" in conversation or something similar, use create water on her then talk to her and you'll get another kiss scene, brief of course, she's still not fixed yet.

Try getting her approval up and long resting a little more, there is plenty of food around.

And if she didn't come to me during the saving-grove-afterparty, and i don't have any kissing attempts - am I done and the romance is locked?

I don't think so, the Grove party isn't the end of Act 1. It's just the end of a big quest plot point.

You still have all of the mountain pass, underdark and gyrmforge to try and get it to happen.

Thanks for helping me not to lose hope, but I think I lost the romance anyway just because I'm playing in 4-man-party and my interactions and farm of reputation for Karlach are limited only with couple of side-quests, such as finding Infernal Iron and other stuff, because she's never in my squad

Yeah that would hamper it a lot.
