Guide to Softening Shrek
Shrek’s default state is “Hardened.” By making choosing certain quest resolutions and dialogue options, Shrek can be “Softened:”
* In the conversation where Shrek says that ogres are like onions, tell him you see ogres like more pleasant things with layers. Either “ogres are like cakes” or “how about a parfait?” will soften, anything else will make softening permanently impossible.
* During the castle sequence, encounter but do not kill the dragon.
* In the conversation where Shrek tells your Donkey Fiona called him a “hideous ugly beast,” pick the options: “She wasn’t talking about you” and then “Somebody else.”
Results:
* A Softened Shrek will agree to let the Fairytale creatures live on his swamp
* A Softened Shrek can romance Fiona
* A Softened Shrek will remain friends with your Donkey in the epilogue
