Taash is one of the seven companions that you will be able to romance in Dragon Age The Veilguard. However, to be able to successfully do so, you will need to trigger their “heart sign” conversation options as much as possible by boosting your affinity with them.
While it might look easy on the surface, there are a few nuances that go into romancing Taash. Their route is a bit more complicated than the other companions in the RPG, but if you are serious about growing a relationship with them, here is a guide that will help you with just that.
How to romance Taash in Dragon Age The Veilguard
Here are some steps that you will need to follow in order to romance Taash in Dragon Age The Veilguard:
