How to romance and get married in Crimson Desert
Crimson Desert’s Charting the Unknown DLC adds romance, marriage and the option to raise a family, giving players new ways to build relationships with characters. The feature also lets a spouse join adventures or move into the player’s home.
To marry a character, players must raise their Trust to +100 using Gold Bars, favoured gifts or daily conversations, then build Flirt to +100 over several in-game days. They can propose only to eligible characters, marked with a heart symbol; spouses appear on the map and can provide gifts. Players can also choose to divorce.
In short
- The DLC adds romance, marriage and family life.
- Raise Trust and Flirt to +100 before proposing.
