Dragon Age Inquisition: How To Romance Cullen

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, players can romance several companions and advisors as the Inquisitor. A successful romance unlocks the "Beloved and Precious" trophy/achievement. This guide focuses on romancing Cullen Rutherford, the Inquisition's military advisor.

Only female human or elven Inquisitors can romance Cullen. The only way to miss this romance is by forcing Cullen to resume Lyrium use.

Updated January 29, 2025, by Andrew Scariati: If you found the romances in Dragon Age: The Veilguard lacking, a Cullen romance in Dragon Age: Inquisition offers a richer experience. This guide ensures a successful courtship.

Building Your Relationship with Cullen

Cullen's romance is relatively easy. Unlike companions, he doesn't have a traditional approval rating. Frequent conversations are key to unlocking his side quests, essential for progressing the romance.

Begin flirting with Cullen from your first encounter at Haven. Exhaust all dialogue options, selecting flirtatious choices (marked with a heart). Speak with Cullen after significant story events or quests involving him; this often triggers new dialogue.

To progress, discuss his Lyrium struggles and accept his chess challenge. This unlocks his first inner circle quest.

Siding with the mages early in the game involves Cullen in the "Before the Dawn" quest, but doesn't affect the romance.

Cullen's Inner Circle Quests

Perseverance

This quest becomes available after "Here Lies the Abyss" or "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts," assuming you've discussed Lyrium and played chess with Cullen. Find Cullen's missing office, triggering the quest. A cutscene shows Cullen and Cassandra arguing. Talk to Cullen in his office; he'll confide in you.

Crucially, avoid forcing Cullen to take Lyrium – this ends the romance. Choose "I care about what you want," followed by "Don't give up."

After this quest, Cullen will need time alone.

Happier Times

This final quest unlocks after "Perseverance," provided the romance is ongoing (Cullen isn't taking Lyrium). Accompany Cullen to Ferelden; a cutscene will follow, culminating in a kiss, finalizing the romance. Accepting or declining his coin doesn't change the outcome.

Romancing Cullen: A Summary

Remember these key points for a successful romance:

1. Be a female human or elf.
2. Choose flirtatious dialogue options.
3. Never encourage Lyrium use.
4. Progress the main story to trigger romance events.

Following these steps guarantees a successful romance with Cullen.
