The outcome of the story also depends on the decisions chosen in the dialogue (the choice is modest: Geralt there is a chance either to persuade the sorceress to stay, or to let her go with her allies on the ship), and from the actions taken earlier. As an option – Triss you need to kiss at the ball, and at the same time – agree to help in a couple of additional quests …

During the passage, important for Geralt will become a relationship with Cirilla… In the quests “Landscape after the battle“,”Final preparations“And”Preparing for battle“The fate of the relationship between the Witcher and the young Witcher is decided, and, allowing imprudence, the hero’s story instantly turns into horror without a hint of a happy ending.
If you don’t help a couple of times Cirilla, do not show concern and do not support, then it will disappear in the world of the White Cold forever and will never come back. Geralt it will not withstand the loss and, left alone with oppressive thoughts, will die in a fight with monsters climbing into a hut blackened with time and pain. Worst ending The Witcher 3 could not be imagined.
Sheala de Tanserville and the tangled life
Sheala de Tanserville from the famous Lodges of the Sorceresses in The Witcher 3, in comparison with the first part and the sequel, takes almost no screen time. It’s all the fault of the king’s punishment Radovida, who imprisoned the sorceress in the dungeon. But Sheala will meet on the way Witcher – at least within the framework of the quest “Great escape“When Geralt will meet the sorceress with Margarita Lo Antilles…

Keira Metz and related quests
Keira Metz in The Witcher 3 occurs in a couple of minor and main quests and partially influences the narrative with eccentric antics and outrageous behavior. FROM Geralt the sorceress even forges romantic ties, but, as it turns out later, exclusively for their own purposes… Quest “For the good of science” confirms cunning intentions Keira and forces once again to choose the path of development of history.
Options to influence the plot of the universe throws up three: battle with Keiro (in the event that the sorceress does not issue notes), change of location (the girl will go to meet the king Radovid, where he will meet with inevitable death and disappear from sight), an invitation to Caer Morhen… The latter option brings the story closer to a happy ending, but only if the art of diplomacy works. Otherwise, you will have to watch the death Keira and the torment of girlfriends from Of the Arcane Lodge…
Cyril and the death throes
The whole plot is permeated with the search for Cyril The Witcher 3: Geralt diligently searches for a young witcher – communicates with characters around, examines other people’s manuscripts, performs dirty work and even weaves intrigues with the sole purpose of finding at least some traces of the missing child Of the Elder Blood… Long experiments at some point lead to long-awaited results – Ciri located on magical islands Fog…
Arriving at the place, cold-blooded Witcher barely able to hold back emotions – Cyril is dying, raves and exudes filth. And though Geralt will find a way to almost resurrect the child, the memories of the days gone through will be frozen for a long time in the halls of memory and even cause nightmares closer to the end of the story.
The Legend of Lambert
Geralt throughout the entire storyline The Witcher 3 (and some related quests especially) considers Lambert not too smart and positive character. The witcher earned such a negative reputation by eternal attacks on Yennefer, dissatisfaction with life and strange jokes launched at everyone who is nearby. Geralt from Lambert gets even more often – the witchers outside Kaer Morhen got too too different life: someone spends time with sorceresses and protects cities from vampires, and someone is forced to deal with monsters in the swamps, sinking knee-deep in mud.
Behavior a step away from the end credits Lambert will not change (the long-awaited correction of the soul will not happen), but the situation around the ever-dissatisfied witcher will become clearer. He will tell about problems with his father, about a crippled fate (Vesemir did not even ask about the desire to devote his life to witchcraft) and even drunkenness. Taking a look at the origin Lambert, consciousness involuntarily turns upside down, and history begins to be presented in a new light.
Bloody Baron, Anna and the cursed castle
Bloody Baron – a character with a controversial reputation. After completing quests related to the hero, it is difficult to even imagine which category the impressions should be classified into – horrifying (Bloody Baron is cruel and uncompromising, loyal to his own choice and is not going to listen to those who are nearby) or filled humanity, love and fearlessness.
Despite the difficult fate Baron, quest “Family Matters” instantly knocks the ground out from under your feet and makes you review the events before and after from different angles. The quest takes place in the swamps, where Geralt stays in search of his wife Barona, Anna… The situation around is horrible, but even more complicated is the situation directly with Anna: she is under the spell of local witches and close to death… Geralt enough chances to save my wife Baron, but only if the secrets in the missions are correctly solved “Whispering Forest” and “Return to Krivoukhovy swamps”… Are there any mistakes? Anna will burn, and Baron, unable to bear the terrible fate, will hang himself on a tree in the vicinity of his own castle.

There, the Witcher will meet another serif left by the writers of The Witcher 3 on the hearts of fans. Oriana will meet her own realm half-plundered and destroyed, and orphans – perishedexcept for one boy. He diligently tells how the vampires examined everything around and how they tore the bodies of innocent children. The story is not for the faint of heart.
Vesemir’s nightmare
Protection Kaer Morhena in The Witcher 3 reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster: the walls of an old fortress are falling apart under siege Wild Hunt, sorceresses continuously sow spells and force shields on the battlefield, and Geralt almost continuously moves between enemies, relying on steel and silver swords.
