Join the Brotherhood of Steel

To unlock Danse, you must join the Brotherhood of Steel. This can be done by completing the quests "Fire Support," "Call to Arms," and "Shadow of Steel." These quests are part of the main storyline and will introduce you to the Brotherhood of Steel.

Complete Blind Betrayal

After joining the Brotherhood of Steel, you’ll need to complete the quest "Blind Betrayal." This quest will lead you to a critical point in the story where you’ll have to make a choice that affects your relationship with Danse.

Choose to Spare Danse

During "Blind Betrayal," you’ll have the option to spare Danse’s life. Make sure to choose this option to keep Danse alive and available as a companion.

Keep Your Rank

If you spare Danse’s life, you’ll be able to keep your rank within the Brotherhood of Steel. This means you won’t have to give up your position or your duties to the Brotherhood.

Danse Becomes a Companion

After completing "Blind Betrayal" and sparing Danse’s life, he’ll become available as a companion. You can recruit him by speaking to him and choosing to have him join your party.

What Happens if You Don’t Spare Danse

If you choose not to spare Danse’s life, he’ll die, and you’ll lose the opportunity to have him as a companion. Make sure to spare his life to unlock his companion ability.

Additional Tips and Considerations

• Keep in mind that if you spare Danse’s life, the Brotherhood of Steel will become hostile to you and Danse. This means you’ll have to be prepared for combat and may need to find alternative ways to complete quests and missions.
• Danse can become a settler if you choose to side with the Institute or Railroad and destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. However, this will also mean you’ll lose the opportunity to have him as a companion.
• Make sure to choose your options carefully as they can have significant consequences for your character and the story.
