All Zethino answers for the Trial of Love in BG3
The correct answers for Zethino’s love test vary depending on which companion you take the test with. Regardless of who you choose, you’ll be faced with three questions about your chosen companion.
Most of the answers to these questions are ones you learn by completing each companion’s questline to get to know them better.

Can all companions participate in the Zethino love test?
Not all companions are willing to participate in Zethino’s love test in BG3. Jaheira and Minsc always refuse to take the test no matter what your relationship with them looks like. This means the only characters willing to participate are Astarion, Gale, Halsin, Karlach, Lae’zel, Minthara, Shadowheart, and Wyll.
Can you pick multiple characters for the Zethino love test in BG3?
You can only pick one character to take Zethino’s love test with. It’s entirely up to you who you choose, but it’s a good idea to choose the character you’re most set on romancing since the test is entirely based on love.
If you’re romancing multiple characters, pick whichever one you want to increase your relationship with since you get a decent boost from choosing the right answers. Choosing correctly for these questions can be pretty tricky even if you know your companions quite well, but compared to other activities around the area like finding Dribbles the Clown’s body parts, this is one of the easier tasks to complete at the Circus of the Last Days.
