How to romance Panam Palmer in Cyberpunk 2077 (2024)

This is a guide and walkthrough for the Panam Palmer romance in Cyberpunk 2077. All steps you need to take to trigger the romantic outcome!

Panam Palmer is one of the available romance options in Cyberpunk 2077. Sadly you won’t get to meet her straight away but early in the second act of the game. The Ghost Town mission is where you will first meet.

In order to romance her, we set up a chronological timeline for you to follow in order to make Panam Palmer all yours.

There will be a number of side jobs and choices that you will have to make if you want to win her heart and make sure that the badlands has more to be afraid of than just wild nomads: the love between the two of you!

Just keep in mind that Panam Palmer can only be romanced if you are a male. She will just reject you if you hit on her if you are female. So it is the complete opposite of Judy Alvarez and the opposite of River Ward as well.

Completing these romances will award you with completed specific Achievements in Cyberpunk 2077, attached to these storylines.

How to romance Panam Palmer in Cyberpunk 2077 (1)

Ghost Town: first time you meet Panam in Cyberpunk 2077

The first time you meet Panam Palmer is during the Ghost Town mission. You trigger the mission by going to The Afterlife and talking with Rogue. In order to get Hellman you will have to give Rogue 15,000 eurodollars. She will then put you in touch with Panam. Earning money in Cyberpunk 2077 in the early game looks tough, but it really isn’t if you know what to do.

The first dialogue option that you will need to pick in order to woe Panam is the following before you hit Ghost Town: Ok, so where’s the hideout?

You will do the Ghost Town mission together in order to get her car back and once that is done you will have two more quests with her. It is good to keep in mind that you won’t be able to make any wrong choices that will mess up the romance later on in the story. But when you see any flirty options then don’t be too shy to click on them if the opportunity rises.

After you get the car and start making the plan to capture Hellman, Panam will tell you that she needs sleep first to come up with something more concrete. She suggests to rent rooms at a motel but ofcourse you will pick the dialogue option: Maybe we get just one room?

She seems fond of the idea and tell you that Noah has two twin beds in every room. And you will reply with: Not quite what I had in mind!

But hold your horses here, Panam isn’t that easy and will just reject you and will just fall asleep.

Lightning Breaks

In Lightning Breaks you will work with Panam Palmer to find and interrogate Anders Hellman. You can choose to not tell Panam why you need to talk to Hellman. Whether or not you chose to tell her, it won’t affect the romance later on. If you want to be transparent then by all means tell her.

Scan the camp to look how bad the damage is and to see if Hellman is in the area and to check where Mitch is. You will be in the car with Panam but she is wounded and can barely walk. Keep her safe by telling her: Stay in the car. You’re hurt, won’t be too much help out there anyway.

After you rescue Mitch sit next to Panam and ask her if she wants to come along to get Hellman. Choose the following option: I gotta get Hellman, will you help?

When Panam replies saying that you should get going, then select: I’ll help you settle the score with Kang Tao.

When you find Hellman and Saul gets there at the end of the mission then choose: It wasn’t really Panam’s fault.

You really need to stick up for Panam when she is up against Saul. You will get a thank you and it will pave the path to romance.

Riders on the Storm

After Lightning Breaks you wait for 12 hours ingame to get a call from Panam Palmer. She will then ask you to help rescue Saul, who has been taken by a rival nomads gang. Ofcourse you will say yes.

In order to rescue Saul you will need to head to the camp and either kill everyone inside or stealth your way in and out. But since the camp is filled mobsters who will shoot at you on sight you will most likely shoot your way in and out. Much to the annoyance of Panam who really hoped for a stealthy way. The mission is a little bit like the Kobayashi Maru or a no win scenario: Whatever you do, you will end up shooting your way in and out.

Once you have fled the camp with Saul in the back of your van in the eye of the sandstorm you will find a house to lay low until the storm is over.

Once you are inside the house, a conversation between Saul and Panam starts and whatever reasonable thing Saul says, just side with Panam, who isn’t unreasonable herself.

Ask her to take her shoes off and relax after she puts her legs on your lap. And lastly choose to touch Panam’s thigh. You can recognize this by the hand symbol next to it. The other option “You choose” also works. Panam will reject sleeping with you, whatever option you go with and you will feel like you have been friendzoned but don’t give up: Love is in the air!

However great it looks to romance Panam, it is easy to fail the Riders on the Storm quest. You can fail it by not meeting standards so saving by either pressing F5 (Quicksave) or a manual save would be best if you mess up and not get the remaining Panam sidejobs.

When you start Riders of the Storm and you need to go to the Raffen Shiv Camp, you will be asked to either go there yourself or ride with Panam. Just make sure you go there with her and do so within 24 hours (ingame hours) or the sidejob is a bust and you won’t get her love or the rest of her sidejobs.

Also make sure that, since you are driving if you choose to go with her, that you go directly to the camp. Don’t make any detours because she will take the wheel and kick you out of the car. You can still meet up with her if she does but again, that 24 hour ingame hours waiting time clock is ticking.

With a little help from my friends

After Riders of the Storm you will get a call from Panam approximately 12 ingame hours later. She is having issues with Saul…again! It shouldn’t be a surprise to you that both Saul and Panam are evenly matched and none of them are actually winning their fights.

Anyhow, go to the Aldecaldo’s camp and meet up with Panam and be there when the plan to take over the locomotive is being made.

Once you arrive at the locomotive tower for said takeover you will have a conversation with Panam in which she reveals that she does have romantic feelings for you but would rather take it a bit slow because she is afraid it will fail between the two of you and she cares about you. Just make sure that you agree with her because you really want to win her heart. A bunch options will pop up and you have to pick the “Touch Panam’s hand” one and reassure her.

That’s a pretty big step there.

After you walk out of the tower you will see a bunch of nomads around the campfire with a guitar and make sure you talk to them. Panam will come sit next to you after she is done in the tower. And when she does you make sure that you pick the option “Scooch closer” and put your arm around her after you tell her you are going to hit the hey. That option also has a hand icon next to her so you can’t miss that.

Queen of the Highway

After you are done with the “With a little help from my friends” sidejob, you will get one last quest from Panam. Just head back to town, do a few sidejobs or gigs and wait for her to call you. About 24 hours ingame later you will get a call from Panam saying that the basilisk that you stole when you did the “With a little help from my friends” sidejob, is ready for a spin.

So return to the Adecaldos’ camp and meet up with Panam. When you both are inside the Basilisk you will share your moment with Panam. Sparks will fly!

After you had the training round then you will have a chance to sync your bodies, because the basilisk needs that (yah, right!). When you do that then pick the option “Let Panam Touch You” and that will trigger the lovescene between you and Panam. You will also get the option to kiss her on the lips but guys, just go for it.

But amidst all this fun and games, you will be interrupted by a group of enemies. You will have to take the basilisk back and defeat the invaders. Once you have done so then follow Panam to camp. You and her will then have a chat about staying with her and become a nomad with the Aldecaldos. Whatever you say, your relic malfunction will hit hard and when you will lose consciousness. You wake up in the new Aldecaldos camp with Panam by your side.

A short conversation with her, Saul and Mitch will come out of it. And after that Panam will tell you that she is willing to help any which way she can with the relic or whatever you need. Kiss Panam by choosing that option and she will tell you that she will keep in touch with you.

And thus ends the Panam Palmer romance quest.

How to get the “Panam Ending” in Cyberpunk 2077

There is another ending where Panam will join you on your final quest:

The good ending only works if you have succesfully romanced Panam by completing “Queen of the Highway”. You will get the option to have Panam and the guys from the Aldecaldos camp to join you on the final mission. After you have completed infiltration Mikoshi, you will have the option to go full Nomad and join the Aldecaldos permanently for the rest of your life.
