Sybille de Vespe makes an immediate impression when you meet her in GreedFall: The Dying World. She takes a big risk to free you and Nílan from prison and joins your team for the journey. She’s trying to escape her dull noble life and seek adventure.
As you get to know her, you’ll discover there’s more beneath her cheerful exterior. This can lead to one of the four possible romantic options in the game. Here’s how to boost your approval with Sybille during the story.
Sybille’s Personality
Sybille is cheerful and fun-loving, but she has good intentions. She’s quick with her insults towards enemies and doesn’t like anyone who tries to get in her way.
Generally, if you choose to talk or sneak your way out of fights, you’ll earn favor points with her—if there’s any to gain. Sometimes, she can even step in and calm enemy NPCs by talking them down. Usually, letting her handle these situations earns you extra approval.
She loves her parents but isn’t very loyal to her family, the de Vespe. Working against her family doesn’t cost you approval, and supporting them doesn’t give you any points either.
Note: When deciding whether to side with the de Vespe or the d’Orsay family, it doesn’t affect Sybille’s relationship. Her first quest will change, but she won’t hold a grudge if your choice opposes her family.
Approval Changes During Side Quests
Completing Sybille’s side missions can improve your standing with her. You can make specific choices in these quests for higher approval.
First Companion Quest
- Let Sybille choose which family to protect her officially.
- Lie to her uncle to protect his mistress, Volusa.
- Support her during her talk with her parents.
Second Companion Quest
- Spare the bandits attacking you while searching for the former assassin.
- Pass the stealth check when observing her parents and the assassins.
- If you succeed, betray your source to the assassins.
Third Companion Quest
- Ask her to share a happy memory about her parents.
- Blame her cousin Octave for the trouble.
Relationship Conversation Tips
Sometimes, when you converse with a companion, a new tab with a heart icon appears. This indicates a conversation that can deepen your relationship. These choices aren’t always romantic, so answers can be more friendly or platonic.
First Conversation
Right after you escape from prison, Sybille will ask about your life. To maximize approval, tell her a made-up story to entertain her.
Second Conversation
After visiting and returning from Teer Fradee, you can ask her if she misses her old job as a Legate. Be sure to ask if she misses her old job — not saying you don’t want her to leave, or you’ll lose points.
Third Conversation
Later, talk to her about marriage. Ask if she’s allowed to marry an islander, which will give you more approval.
Fourth Conversation
Once her final companion quest is done, you might get a chance to discuss her role as a de Vespe. Compliment her by saying she has a heart, unlike her family members.
Romantic Relationship
Once you earn enough approval, Sybille might suggest spending the night in your cabin. Her romance may start right after her second personal quest.
If it hasn’t, keep bringing her along and raising her approval, but avoid being in another relationship with someone else in the crew.
You can end your relationship with Sybille anytime before the final quest. After that, the romance is locked in and will influence the story’s ending.
