Zethino is a captivating character who appears in the Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3. She can be found in the Circus of The Last Days, a location usually recommended for players within the level range of 8-10.

Zethino plays a lover's quiz with you and asks you various questions related to your partner in the game. She checks if the love between you two is eternal based on your answers.

Correct Answers for the Trial of Love

In Baldur's Gate 3, the Trial of Love presents a unique challenge based on your chosen companion. Each companion has a set of questions tailored to them, and while honesty is an option, it may not always be the best policy. Being truthful could result in disapproval from your companion, so it's crucial to choose your answers carefully to maintain favor.

• Astarion
  • Question 1: When he's elbow-deep in gore.
  • Question 2: Revenge.
  • Question 3: Breaking a nail.
  • Note: While "Forever feeling like a slave to someone else" is a truthful answer, it will earn Astarion's disapproval. Avoid this if you're aiming for romance.
• Gale
  • Question 1: A shiny red apple, wholesome as can be.
  • Question 2: While on his balcony in Waterdeep.
  • Question 3: He thinks he and the world might be better off if he were dead.
• Halsin
  • Question 1: Comfort doesn't come naturally to him. He's restless and roaming.
  • Question 2: Protecting his grove from those who threatened it.
  • Question 3: Allowing the shadow curse to blight nature for a hundred years.
• Karlach
  • Question 1: Gortash.
  • Question 2: Bashing baddies interspersed with victory sex.
  • Question 3: Settled down in a quiet village with a nice partner and a few kids.
• Lae'zel
  • Question 1: To find the truth about Orpheus amidst her queen's lies.
  • Question 2: Our night together.
  • Question 3: She will be known as a liberator of the Githyanki people.
• Minthara
  • Question 1: Picking off her siblings one by one.
  • Question 2: Legendary drow hero Drizzt Do'Urden.
  • Question 3: Let herself be captured by the cult of the Absolute.
• Shadowheart
  • Question 1: Good company and an even better vintage.
  • Question 2: Being discreet.
  • Question 3: She doesn't know who she is or where she belongs.
  • Note: "She can't swim" is another option but may not be the best choice.
• Wyll
  • Question 1: Memories of our first night getting to know each other.
  • Question 2: His father, Ulder Ravengard.
  • Question 3: Leaving behind his father and the city.

Most of these answers can be learned by completing each companion's questline and getting to know them better. For example, I chose Shadowheart because I had the highest favorability with her. The correct answers were relatively easy to identify as she often talks about her likes and dislikes.

Astarion seems to be the only companion who may disapprove of an answer that is technically true. This makes navigating the Trial of Love particularly tricky if you're focused on maintaining a romantic relationship with him.

The best approach would be to give answers that are not only correct but also favorable in Astarion's eyes. This is important if you're trying to pursue a romantic storyline with him. Try to steer clear of answers that might trigger his disapproval, even if they are factually accurate.
