All romance options in Starfield

By

Space is a big, lonely place for someone to travel alone in Starfield. Even though you can bring along a crew of Companions to join you on your ship, sometimes you need a bit more than friendship. Romance options have become more and more common in RPGs of this type, and can even be the main appeal in games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Starfield‘s new cast aren’t all romanceable, though, so you might find your romantic options a bit limited.

Note: This will be spoiler-free (except for the existence of these characters, obviously) however there is a major story moment that, after which, certain characters may no longer be romanceable. To be safe, attempt to romance your character of choice as early as possible.

Sarah Morgan

Sarah is the first human Companion you are paired up with in Starfield after joining Constellation. She’s the group’s leader and is dedicated to finding the Artifacts to uncover their mysteries. Once you’ve done the required story mission with her, you can have her join you on your ship. Keep talking to her and selecting dialogue choices that she agrees with to build your relationship. Eventually, she will ask to talk with you when you have time and you will get a romance dialogue option.

Sam Coe

Sam Coe is a part of the famous Coe family with a long history and big shoes to fill. He and his daughter are part of the Freestar Collective, but joined Constellation and will accompany you to Akila during the story. He’s a realist and admires those who do what’s right and is honorable. After that mission, keep him and his daughter around to build up a relationship. Wait for him to ask to talk, and pick the romance option as soon as it shows itself.

Barrett

The first member of Constellation you meet, and the man who gives you your very first ship, Barrett is a selfless and kind-hearted man. He’s hardly ever without a smile, even in the face of almost certain danger, and puts others before himself no matter what. Even though you meet him in the opening minutes, you will need to go on a mission to rescue him before he can become a Companion and eventual romance option.

Andreja

The final romance option is the tough and adventurous Andreja. You won’t meet her at the Lodge like you do the rest of Constellation, but go out on a mission to check on her after she didn’t report back from a mission. As it turns out she didn’t really need your help, but is glad to join you on any adventures that take you out into the unknown regions of space. She’s more grounded and prefers people to play things straight. She won’t be easy to win over, but is a great character you do have the option to start a relationship with.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.
Ikakaramba

This one is very hard to miss as it is directly on your critical path. If you do, you can fast travel to the nearby campfire to grab it.

All Trinkets in Tales of Kenzera: Zau, explained

Your main upgrades in a metroidvania like Tales of Kenzera: Zau will always be your new abilities. These transform the way you move and fight, but there are other ways you can make Zau a more powerful shaman. Trinkets are introduced right away, but aren't given away as freely as you might think. Each one requires you to overcome a small trial that tests your platforming abilities off the main path. Technically, you can miss every single one aside from the one you begin the game with. Even though there are a few fast travel points, backtracking isn't a particularly fun experience. Here are all the Trinket locations in Tales of Kenzera: Zau, plus which ones you should equip.
All Trinket locations
You can see which zones have Trinkets on the map, and for the most part, you will be able to grab them as you navigate through them for the first time. Here are each of the Trinket locations roughly in the order you should naturally be able to get them.
Battering Stance
This is the Trinket you begin the game with and is equipped by default.
Lifted Spirit

The first Trinket is found in this side path trial in The Buluu Caverns.
