Romancing NPCs in Dragon’s Dogma 2 can be pretty tricky to figure out. While some players find it easy to woo characters, others struggle with it. Here’s how to romance Ulrika in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
How to Romance Ulrika in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Romancing an NPC in this fantasy RPG typically happens when you do enough quests with them to gain Affinity with them. Helping NPCs in quests earns you Affinity, which is the relationship system in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Before you can romance Ulrika, you need to complete her quest chain comprised of the following missions (none of them should be time-sensitive):
- Scaly Invaders: Fend off the Saurian invaders from the people of Harve.
- Readvent of Calamity: Queen regent wants to control Melve, forcing Ulrika to flee to Harve.
- Trouble on the Cape: Follow Ulrika into Stormwind Cave to help save a prisoner.
- Home Is Where the Hearth Is: Speak to Ulrika on the dock in Harve.
Although Scaly Invaders has nothing to do with Ulrika, it secures the little town of Harve and allows them to rebuild it a few days later. Then if you revisit Melve between your quests in Vernworth you’ll have to fight a dragon.
The queen regent will then attempt to take control of Melve away from Ulrika, so Ulrika flees to try and stop the dragon during Readvent of Calamity. You then have to help the people of Melve gain back control, and they can eventually have the freedom to flee to Harve since the dragon will inevitably attack Melve again.
Head back to Harve, which will trigger Trouble on the Cape. Help her free a prisoner from Saurians in Stormwind Cave, and she’ll be pronounced Harve’s chief. After that, you can meet her at the dock, and she’ll ask you to come see her at night.
Finally, in Home Is Where the Hearth Is, you’ll watch a cutscene of your Arisen and Ulrika sitting on the beach together which ends with a kiss. After that interaction, Ulrika can show up at your house if you own a home in Vernworth, and she’ll ask you to accompany her on a pleasant jaunt. This is just a short escort quest, but it provides a huge boost to Affinity if you take her to the marked destination.
Best Gifts to Give Ulrika in Dragon’s Dogma 2
If you want to gain more Affinity with Ulrika to ensure that you have a good relationship with her, you can give her gifts. The gift prompt won’t show up if the character is currently involved in any quests, however, so you may need to wait until after completing Home Is Where the Hearth Is before you can give Ulrika anything
Ulrika likes Adorable and Beautiful items. Any fruit in your inventory will make her super happy, as will any flowers or plants that you pick up on your travels. She also loves the Bunch of Flowers just like every other NPC since that is specifically designed for raising Affinity. You can craft this by combining two flowers.
Not only is knowing which gifts are good to give NPCs in Dragon’s Dogma 2 crucial for gaining affinity, but you should also know about enemy weaknesses since those aren’t listed anywhere in the game’s menus.
