Can you romance Lawan in Dying Light 2?

In short, no, you cannot romance Lawan in Dying Light 2. 

While a romance system doesn’t exist in the game, your choices determine whether you get a good or bad outcome. So, at the end of the day, you can still run away with the City’s most fearsome rogue if you play your cards right.

Best choices to get Lawan’s good ending

In order to get the best ending for Lawan and Aiden, there’s a few key choices you’ll have to make; most of which revolve around your trusty French companion, Hakon.

The best choices in order to win Lawan’s heart are below, but again, there are spoilers:

  1. Tell Hakon the truth throughout your initial meetings
  2. Agree to take him to the ocean
  3. Do not allow Hakon to die
  4. Give Frank control over the VNC Tower transmitter
  5. When you confront Hakon during the Nightrunners main story quest, do not fight him
  6. In the ‘Shoes‘ story quest, tell Lawan her shoes look fine
  7. During your nighttime conversation, be empathetic
    • If you follow these steps correctly, Lawan will show up before you fight Hakon at the church.
  8. Persuade her not to kill Hakon.
  9. In the final X13 choices, let Lawan sacrifice herself. Hakon will save her.

From here, Aiden and Lawan will leave The City together to continue on their journey, so while it’s not exactly an overt romance you still get to ride off into the bloodstained sunset together.
