Love has a Price Walkthrough

A man named Lovirk at Driftwood tavern promises you 'something exotic' that is worth trying. If you convince him via speech check or tell him a good joke about talking dogs via the Jester-tagged dialogue options, he will waive the initial fee (else, it'll cost 150 gold). You will gain 3000XP for this. After he reveals his non-negotiable exotic fee of 100 gold, he will give you the key to a suite on the 2nd floor.

Use the character and enter the suite alone, then talk to the lizard and spend a night there. You will receive, 6000XP. If you refuse the prostitute, you will receive, 3000XP and have to try again with another character. The next morning, some thugs (about 5 of them) will suddenly show up while you are naked, demanding money. If you are Ifan ben-Mezd, the thugs will recognize you and leave. Otherwise, you will have to pay them or fight. Your gear is in the burgled backpack on a table next to the bed. If you are playing as the Red Prince, then the lizard you meet will turn into the Red Princess instead. If you are undead, the prostitute will fight with you.

Head back down and confront Lovrik, and he will claim he did all these for his daughter. If you ask the cook, you will learn that he's lying, and you will find that he fled while you weren't there. If the cook is dead, then you won't find anything and the quest can't proceed until you kill him. Killing him grants no XP, but he has a significant amount of gold on his corpse. If you did kill the thugs and confront Lovrik, you can also spare his life and the quest will conclude rewarding you a final 3000XP (after which you can kill him anyway to get the gold too, though the quest will have already been completed, and the log will not update further). If you believe he has a daughter, Lovrik will flee, concluding the quest but granting no additional XP.

Bug: If you use The Red Prince to engage in this quest, there is a chance that the quest will hang after the sexual encounter and Lovrik won't have any additional dialogue options for you to progress with the quest. And even if you kill Lovrik, there is a chance that the quest still won't close.

 

Tips & Tricks

  • Swap the key to the suite to a party member that isn't spending the night. This way you'll be able to send in your party at the start of the fight.
  • You can give your equipment to a party member before the sexual encounter, then return it prior to combat (be sure to re-equip it).
  • If you have already found two Teleport Pyramids, you can use them to teleport to your party member. (lore friendly).
  • You can change your mind about spending the night with Zharah/Zharat. Depending on the dialogue, you can either flee the exotic encounter for 1000XP or anger the lizard courtesan for 3000XP. After which you can talk to the lizard with a new character and pay another 100 gold to Lovrik to try again. So you can gain up to, 4000XP this way. And finally, 6000XP more when you decide to go through with it.
  • If you sleep with Zharah/Zharat as the Red Prince, you will not be robbed or get the experience and this quest will close. This is not recommended if you want the max experience.
  • If you sleep with Zharah/Zharat as Ifan, you will have a special dialogue and may avoid the robbery.
  • Killing the prostitute will end the quest.
  • The prostitute has a soft spot for undead.
  • If you lose your gear to the muggers and are unable to kill them, you can find it in a "burgled backpack" on a table in Lohar's room.
  • While most of the muggers have spell armor, they are generally lacking in physical armor (though it is still unwise to attempt to solo this encounter).
  • If you deny the prostitute to the point she/he offers to give you your money back after, then finally takes her/him in, the prostitute  will fall for you. You will know because instead of your world explodes, it is her/his world that explodes. After which, she/he will fight along your side.
  • The prostitute has a unique level 11 dagger (18-19 damage) which you can pickpocket. She/he can also give you this dagger in the fight if she/he has fallen for you. You will have to appeal for help first.
  • If you manage to keep the prostitute alive after killing the thugs, you can choose to go again with him/her, depending on the dialogue. If she's fallen for you or if you are undead, she will go again with you regardless.

      This has changed significantly in DE. If you are an undead she falls for you automatically, no steps to follow. She takes tour side during the battle but is covering in a corner, lol. The thugs dont care about her. Once the fight is complete she will apologize and bid you goodbye. She did not go second time(maybe I chose wrong dialogue). No dagger given by her.

      • Anonymous

        If you play solo undead (any dialogue option you choose will end up in fight) you can take the gold chest right after the bed. Put everything you need there. Mainly all your equipment + defensive scroll & invis potion, etc.

        1st turn debuff yourself if you get burned/poisoned then go invis. Equip everything you need and potion. Equipping item & drinking potion won't reveal invis except scroll obviously. Basically take your time & get in position then kill all of them lol. You can't save the prostitute tho.

          My experience was completely different to what this guide says. I played as an undead and she did not fall in love with me nor did she help me during the fight. I tried a few different dialogue paths.

          Also, the thugs didn't demand money they just attacked without giving me a chance. They didn't anoucne they were from Lohar either. Anyway, hilarious quest.

            So they get all your hundred itens in a simple bag in a pop up. The guy who thought of this should be in jail

            • In case anyone curious: Shapershifter mask doesn't work with this quest. You can only have 1000 XP for leaving and 3000 XP for angering her on different characters, after that all there's left is to sleep with her for 6000 XP.

                You can do the "Change your mind about spending the night with Zharah/Zharat. Depending on the dialogue, you can either flee the exotic encounter for 1000XP or anger the lizard courtesan for 3000XP. After which you can talk to the lizard with a new character and pay another 100 gold to Lovrik to try again. So you can gain up to, 4000XP this way" Part with Fane's shapershifter mask to get even more XP

                  To get the dagger and extra dialogue as an Undead and having him/her fall for you, you need to have your armor on a companion char, and equip it before getting out of the bed. Otherwise everyone Knows you are Undead and it skips all the extra dialogue options, but he will still fight for you.

                    i feel like they missed a plot point with this encounter. when they storm in on me and declare they're working for lohar, you don't get a chance to confront him about it when you go visit him, if you kill everyone. i really wanted to pick a fight with him and gloat that i killed all his dudes single handedly. beast doesn't seem to like him very much, so i assume he's a villain. i need a good excuse to kill him, but the game isn't reciprocating those role playing emotions with me, as there is no dialogue options to say 'what's up with the hooker trap?!'

                    • So I kind of did a combination of the suggestions. I gave all of my equipment and gear to one of my companions, making sure to put all of my specific equipment I'm going to put back on into a backpack. Then I went into the room initiated the dialogue said all the perfect things to get her world to explode, then slept with her to be awoke in the morning by the burglars informing me they have stole my stuff, my stuff is nothing. After going through the dialogue in realizing I could peacefully tell them to take my stuff, nothing, and be gone. And it works they actually just take off and leave the room. The prostitute is still alive we hanky panky one more time and I have to go find my stuff, of nothing. So no joke the game actually made me go down into the arena to the Lohar guy, and steal my stuff back. Now this is funny cuz like I said there's literally nothing they stole but the computer thinks they did. So after going through the hassle of having three of the characters get into dialogue with everyone in the room, I used the last character to open the bag, presto quest completed. And what was in the bag nothing, because there was nothing in my inventory for them to ever take. Silly game

                        I did this quest and my main toon is Ifan, and they all came running away after knowing who they're mugging. I didn't expect that lol

                        • Anonymous

                          I didn't try to replicate it, but you can actually (maybe) do this without getting your things stolen or fighting the thugs.
                          I took off my armor and swaggered in with my bones on full display (undead).
                          The lizard immediately got excited, slept with me and then.. nothing. Still had my gear, no thugs and I got the lucky charm buff. I loaded my save after that, so I'm not sure if that can break the quest.

                          If you just want to complete the quest normally without cheesing the fight (I just wanted the lizard to stay alive, which was impossible with my then current party), here's what I recommend.
                          1. Open Lovrik's inventory with pickpocket. You don't need to steal anything, just open it.
                          2. Spend the night with the lizard.
                          (2.5. If you are undead, send over some armor and equip it while you still lie in bed to hide your undead status.)
                          3. Let the thugs take your stuff
                          4. Kill Lovrik. By pickpocketing him first you have changed his standard loot to vendor loot.
                          5. Find Lohar and he will give you a task to find a dwarf.
                          6. Go to the house, explore it and you should find a letter talking about a ritual.
                          7. Return to Lohar, give him the letter and agree to continue looking for the dwarf.
                          8. Ask for your stuff back.

                            this quest is bugged if you kill Lothar first and then do this quest you have no way to get your gear back the only option i had is dropping all my items in the room and then fight the mobs with nothing in my inventory

                            • Anonymous

                              Okay, so i only found out about this quest when i was about to leave this chapter. Lohar is long dead, went in with lizard, got mugged and now my stuff is just gone, nothing in his room. Any way to get it back?

                                  Red Prince has a special encounter with the Red Princess here, without the muggers at the end. You have to do this before reaching Paradise Down, else it will be the "normal" one.

                                    (On PC DE) Oddly, I managed to get 3000XP, not 1000XP, for rejecting Zharah with my first character(Lohse, who was also my avatar). I don't quite remember the specific conversation options, but I remember selecting one tagged LOHSE that was roughly about not feeling as if I were myself, and another option asking how much Zharah would pay in reaction to Zharah joking about paying Lohse for sex. Hopefully someone else can confirm since I dont have a save left over, but this would mean that on DE the total XP gain is 22 000 (2k for persuading Lovrik, 3k for rejecting Zharah, 6k for the sex, 8k for killing the goons, and 3k for letting Lovrik go)

                                      If I killed Lovrik at the end of the quest I got ~200-300 gold. But if I first pickpocket some gold and then kill him, I can get a vendor's amount of gold. Which for me was ~20k when I was level 16.

                                        If you split your party and have someone talk to Lovrik while you go check out his story with the cook you can easily catch & kill him before he flees.

                                          to get the bonus 3000 xp from lovrik try to have conversation where u can fight with him without aggroing.. u can scout with 2nd char and once hes next to kitchen or next to side door .. bring ur main char for conversation.

                                            Tips to get your stolen equipment ASAP : before u enter the lizard *****'s room go naked(drop all of your equipment on to the floor), drop 1 teleport pyramid. After that, talk to the lizard and have fun with her. When your main char wake up, immediately switch to your teammate to open the door where your main char is having fun and give your main char the bedroll and another pyramid. After that go to upstairs and do sneak attack. When you main char get the turn in battle, teleport to where the pyramid and your equipment was dropped then equip all em all, rejoin the battle and enjoy

                                              With careful dialogue choices you can have the prostitute fall in love with you and s/he'll will actually fight with you against the thieves.

                                                  with 4 group member I'd get 2000xp for accept the quest 1000 when I said no with my main (elf female) 3000 when I talked with her a little bit and made her wet, then said no (RP) -I don't remember if I get xp with Ifan when i fent in and said no and then 6000 for sleeping with her with Fain -3000 when killed Lovrik + 5x2000 for each robber then (little spoiler here) 4000 because the cook didn't like I went in so attacked me. tips: 1. If you don't get the key with another character then go up to her - she said sorry- then go back for the key and pay 2. I went to Lovrik with Fain as fourth party member and I'd got an option which meant no pay. 3. I slept with her 3 times just with Fain. First time she danced for me ...etcetc then i stood their as if nothing heppend but when i went to her she sound like we met before then I slept with her - robbers - and after it again. 4. She became a friend if you sleep with her as Fain 5. Be careful with the drunked fellows down if you attack Lovrik if you want to keep them alive so teleport the guy to the kitchen or into a bush far from the tavern.

                                                    The description for getting the last 3k exp is a bit unclear. You shouldn't confront him saying you killed the thugs, you have to say that you had a good time. After that he doesn't run away and you can kill him for the gold (which he drops even if you pickpocketed him before that). -Aggnog

                                                            So after I finish the fight I'm not able to loot anything from the bag. Trying to do so bugs the game so that I can't interact with anything else or even load or quit the game-I have to ctrl alt delete out. I've tried doing it with different characters, moving the bag to my inventory and then opening it, moving it to Lady Vengeance and opening it, nothing works. I'm in honour mode and saved past the fight so I can't go back, so basically either I lose all my items or the run's over, which is pretty much one in the same given I lost any quest items, etc plus all my gear. Has anyone experienced this or know a way around it?

                                                                160 gold, no experience, and a firestorm grenade when killing Lovrik. You're better off pickpocketing him for 3k gold and letting him live, the lying rat. At least the quest and killing the assassins seems to have netted 10k experience, some gold, and items to sell. In order to get the 2,000 experience up front, though, you do have to persuade or "Jester" Lovrik to see the courtesan. If you bribe him, you do not get 2,000 experience(so you'll only get 8,000 for killing the assassins) you get from the other two options. I didn't see much point (or reward) to play this quest out as the Red Prince either (no assassins and it's all an illusion that doesn't even get mentioned in his journal or quest line).

One time than another after, than I attempted again after the fight, or I believe it was after the fight that I was able to go a round two lol. This was a bout a year ago.

                                                                  • Anonymous

Drop other pyramid next to the bed. When the thugs attack, cast cryogenic stasis on Zharah, adrenaline and use teleporter on the ground. Loot gear from container, re-equip quickly and use teleporter to get back to the suite. Kill the thugs and go again with her. :)

I laughed really hard when I heard that, I love this game.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  • Anonymous

Once they were all dead I spoke to Zharah again and used the fourth dialogue option followed by the "look undead" prompt to go another round with her, so to speak. Afterwards I went downstairs to confront Lovrik about the muggers but he just rattled off some line about not having money and now the same thing happens whenever I talk to him. I've tried switching to another character but all that happens is I do the prostitution dialogue path and Lovrik says she's done a runner, at least for now. At this point I might just summon a bone widow and have it eat him cos I can't progress the quest anymore -_-

                                                                                    • Anonymous

Also the most beneficial way of dealing with Lovrik is not believing his sob story and letting him walk: killing him grants no XP whereas letting him live after calling his bs grants +3000XP and the gold loot you'd get off his corpse is a tenth of the sum that you could just pickpocket off of him. (in my case anyway)

It didn't piss off rest of the tavern, as noone saw him die. and as I am on good terms with Lohar (was to see Mordus's house already), he just gave me my stuff back... now I am thinking about visiting that lizard to shut her up... :D

In definitive edition, you only get 3000 XP for refusing the courtesan if you're without companions. But then the quest closes. No extra XP allowed, except for killing the thugs of course. The best option is to refuse the courtesan still but with companions for 1000 XP. Then sleep with her on another character - 6000 XP. Kill the thugs for 2000 xp each, 8000 total - boss thug "Gill Thunders" doesn't give any. Gotta keep the lizard alive or the quest closes(no XP with Lovrik?) Then go down and get 3000 XP by talking with Lovrik and letting him off the hook(as long as you don't buy his bull*****but let him live)... All for a total of 18000 XP

                                                                                              • Anonymous

Of course I didn't save right before jumping into the sack with Lizard lady. I had all Legendary and Unique gear and was fully optimized. I'm not a rage quitter but holy crap that sucks.

It doesn't matter what you tell her next. (If you're NOT The Red Prince, Zharah will lie in bed instead.

She will give you a dagger and help you in the fight should you choose to fight them. If your character is a cleric then the fight shouldn't be too difficult on classic difficulty, but if you want to try and save the lizard you'll surely have to retry a few times because of her suicidal tendencies in combat. If you do manage to save her you can go for sexy time numero dos.

I had my mage stand in the doorway and teleport my bag far away down by the stairs. He will warn you not to touch his stuff but he won't attack you. Walked my char over to the bag and "looted all". No problems.

                                                                                                                    Slept with prostitute, got mugged by bandits, didn't fight as I couldn't beat them naked. Talked to Lovrik, learned Lohar would have my gear. Went to Lohar, refused to give me gear.

                                                                                                                    Thereafter simply used three characters to talk to everyone in Lohars room and keep their lines of sight away from the backpack, used the fourth character (with high sneaking) to steal the backpack and leave the room then hiding in a corner outside. Kept the character with the backpack hidden while everyone cried "burglery!" and searched the rest of my crew, before teleporting everyone out to the waypoint.

                                                                                                                    Note: Lore friendly is simply a point of personal taste, I was unaware I was going to get mugged and alas they got the drop on me. Not having prepared for the fight they took my gear, and I felt going back and preparing for the fight would be "cheating", as I was obviously fooled.

                                                                                                                    • Anonymous

If the narration at the end says "his world..." instead of "your world..." he will tell Gill he's fallen for you, hand you a knife, and fight with you. He's wimpy as hell though, took me like 4 tries to get him through it alive

(You shouldn't get along with prostitute otherwise she joins fight and very likely to die also its not going to be only 1 pyro if she joins because that way combat doesn't end when you go downstairs)

After sleeping with with the lizard prostitute, you wake up and see sadha sleeping beside you. There is some dialog like "who are you" and "come and find me". No bandits, no robbery. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool and it fitted the story perfectly. I thought something similar would happen to other characters (like fane's wife or something), but it seems to be a quest made for the red prince.

I confess, that felt really good.

The thugs give good XP. It's not a very easy fight though.

I loaded a save from like...10 hours ago when I first entered Driftwood and was able to get the red priestess, but there's no way I'm going back that far.

Had the bandit scenario. Felt like setting up against the bandits using Red Prince (reloaded), discovered the Red Princess event and decided to roll with it. I believe I had an option ONLY ONCE with my characters to accuse and blame him, but I decided to let it slide.

                                                                                                                                        Quest remained open. Thought it had to do with finding the Red Princess. Now discover (after dealing with half the continent) that I cannot get a real completion.

                                                                                                                                                  This quest is bugged. Whether you kill Lovrik or let him go, it will either say "I decided not to press matters further with Lovrik" or "The lying coward has fled". However, even when you let him go, when you exit the tavern and re-enter, someone in the party will always say "That lying coward seems to have legged it." I guess this SORT OF makes sense that he would be scared and run off even if you decided not to press things.

                                                                                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                                      If you threaten Lorvik (but not kill him) to give up the location you get 3k XP - then go to Lothar and simply pick up your gear from the table. On leaving the area you get 36.5k XP (level 10) for completing it.

                                                                                                                                                      Which is far more than simply killing everyone.

                                                                                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                                        Had to reload to get them back.

                                                                                                                                                          Another attempt she survived and my undead character flowered her again.

                                                                                                                                                            I tried the strategy that a user pointed out to fight the thugs (sending your gear to a companion and then using the pyramids before finishing the conversation) but i discovered that as soon as you see your character naked on the bed, if you change to your companions holding your gear (who are supposed to be on the second floor waiting for you) you can send you gear right there, then change back to your character on the bed and the conversation with the thugs wont start until you move, so you can open your inventory, equip everything and then move to imitate the conversation or better yet send your companions with the pyramid so they don't start their turns at the end.

                                                                                                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                                                                                                              BEST STRATEGY IF YOU WANT TO KILL THUGS:
                                                                                                                                                              1)Before watering her flowers, give all your gear to any character with the highest initiative
                                                                                                                                                              2)Drop 1 of the 2 pyramids found on Lady vengeance on the floor (anywhere you want, i advice you put it on stop of the stairs so you have easy access to the pyromancer and if you have characters with high ground bonuses you can attack the 2 thugs on the 1st floor)
                                                                                                                                                              3) AFTER SLEEPING WITH THE PROSTITUTE DON'T FINISH THE CONVERSATION WITH THE THUG, CHANGE TO YOUR COMPANIONS AND USE THE PYRAMID, this way the fight starts after your companions join you, so their turns are split correctly instead of starting after all enemies had a chance to attack
                                                                                                                                                              4) When the companion with your gear gets a turn, open your inventory, send your gear back to your character and when that character gets a turn, equip at least your weapon if you are not a magic use (equipping gear costs AP).

I've found this solution on the steam forums, apparently the game tries to put the backpack that's in your inventory into another backpack and so it crashes.
