How to start a romance with Jaal Ama Darav in Mass Effect: Andromeda?

Last update: 14 April 2017

Jaal is a character that will join your party at the beginning of A Trail of Hope main mission. However, he, as a romance option, is only available to the female character, Sara Ryder - while playing as Scott you won't be able to flirt with him and the relationship will be limited to friendship. Jaal is a character you can have close relations with - by engaging in that relationship you won't be able to flirt and romance with other characters.

Note - before engaging in a close relationship you can save the game.
