I need romance help (For Karlach)

[Retro_Horror]

I have tried to rizz this woman up twice and each time she ignores me even though I have gone Dammon with her and the infernal iron. Her approval rating with me is at 50 and she has not prompted me at camp nor at the tiefling party. I need the Karlach experts.

Beside first upgrade of Karlach's engine, you should show your interest in her, asking her thoroughly about her adventures and grievances in Avernus
Also, did you get a dialogue option where your character suggests to find a way to cool her down after first upgrade?
In my walkthroughs, Karlach approach my character after upgrade and MC telling her he would try and find some way to cool her.
Then the nighttime cutscene appeared, when she wakes MC to speak about them. The approval rating was 'fair' (which is from 30 to 40).
In the other walkthrough, my MC'd just have the line with her 'I've drummed myself to tell how I feel about you' at the celebration. Which is the trigger to go further, actually.

I didn't get anything from her, granted I think it got messed up because Astarion prompted me with his "I'm a vampire" scene, but nothing else, no sexy time. But other then that I have a very good relationship with her, and I flirted with her after her first upgrade. She never came to me on a long rest, and I just spamming it (the long rest) to see if it was just other stuff getting in the way but nothin.

Romantic line with Karlach doesn't suppose any sexual intercourse until you fix her engine completely.
As for nighttime cutscenes, they're appearing not that often in Act I (compared to Act II, when you sometimes have to longrest more frequently than you really need just to move the scene queue forward).
However, I have already seen here threads about intercoursing nighttime cutscenes, which somewhat 'erase' one another. Maybe that's your case
Still, you haven't written if you have had the line about 'drummed myself' at the tiefling party. She likes the direct approach, after all

I guess I wasn't clear- sorry, but I have tried to romance her multiple times, 3 to 4 runs just to get to like me, and she has not come to me with her dreams or that she would like to touch me. I'd get done with saving the grove and go to the party and I would tell her that I like her she would refuse me there. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I have looked at all the possible guides online that get me closer to karlach but nothing

Nah, you don't need to romance Karlach, she will break you.

You could go for the angry githyanki.... but she would break you too.

Minthara.... no, she is out too....

That only leaves Shadowheart and the squid as there is a real shortage of potential feminine love interests.

Bruh you not helping XDD, I just want the achievement Hot date, My main ppl are Lae'zeal, Minthara, and Astarion, its just I need this one last achievement to finish off BG3. I'm terrible at rizzing the goody two-shoes.

[arikel.pv]

It just came to me, have you been romancing anyone other beside her? 'Cause Karlach is patient about this only as long as she cannot touch MC herself (she should say it in plain words at the camp celebration). But after fixing her engine for the second time she turns out to be quite posessive. She even scoffs at Halsin's ideas about free romping... sorry, roaming

[Retro_Horror]

Nope, I have decently high approval with my team, karlach's being the best. Thats why I was so confused that nothing would happen, I felt pretty dumb bc Minthara, Astarion, and Lae'zeal are just so easy to rizz, then there's Karlach who wont accept me XDD

[arikel.pv]

Oh, pal. I really want to help you, but I'm out of guesses. I even skimmed through Reddit threads for you issue ('cause I got interested myself what the f**k is happening with your Karlach - she's no shy spinster). If the only thing you need is aHot Date achievement, maybe I could just share a savegame with you (just before the point I earned it)...

[Retro_Horror]

If anything yeah, that would help- all I want is the achievement and done, if your open so am I bc I wanna get back to my evil bbgs

[arikel.pv]

Well, If that's the matter, I can upload the save onto my GoogleDrive. Send me a blank msg to my email here. Nothing'd be spared for a good man

[Retro_Horror]

bet- I really appreciate this man, though your gonna have to walk me through it a bit I'm awful with files and ♥♥♥♥

[arikel.pv]

I think it's worth a try, isn't it?

[Retro_Horror]

Yes- just prepare for me to be annoying lol
