the very first time I played this game I got the bad ending, the next time, I got the ending where Ciri becomes a Witcher, I have never been able to figure out how to get the Empress ending, I only ever get the quest to find Thaller, I think tha'ts the start of the 'kill Radivid' quest, but no other quest started to actually kill Radivid :-(
@@squallion777 After finding Thaler, you will get a quest where Dijkstra, Roche, Thaler all meet and plot to kill him, Also Philippa will spy on you and will help you. I don't remember the quest name though.
@@squallion777 okay that is the tricky part. After you finish Thaler's quest, "A Deadly Plot", the assassination quest will not pop up, because you need to do other things first. You just got to keep moving forward in the main story, you will eventually find Philippa in Djikstra's bathhouse right? When you are trying to get her from him, you should not [Shove Djikstra aside forcefully] but talk to him, you will tell him you have info on Emhyr and after that the assassination quest will be triggered, "Reasıon of State".
How much you gain from him ? Because I recently come back to re-playng the game for the seventh time just to do the worst ending in the main campaing , because that was the only ending I don't have the courage to done yet .
@@xLetalis Just this ? You mean 2000 , or 20.000 ? In New game plus mode I think this is not enough, since you already start this mode with a lot of money from the loaded save of the normal campaing mode, you can make a lot more money lateral selling the looted items in the smuggler depots found in skellige and also making the witcher contrats again to and negotiating the value of the reward with the contractors, The classic " I came to bargain ".
Sometimes I blame those choices for too few descriptions...... you don't need to be good at everything = get drunk with your daughter?????? *WHAAT* lol
same here, but somehow I still got the snowball one wrong and there're SO MANY cut-scenes you need to skip just to reload, worst mistake ever XD I actually thought "I know one solution" (or something) was about drinking. That's what I would say before inviting a sad person to drink =))
I think Ciri doesn't actually die at the "bad ending", she just chose to disappear because of the way Geralt's been treating her. I mean in that scene in the tower, the same thing happens no matter what you chose, only the aftermath is different, so I don't think she could die only because of bad feelings or something like this.
I agree. in the bad ending, before killing the witch, ciri died she says: you will die soon, the prophecy says it doesn't lie, but we didnt die, that's why Ciri is alive.
It's been 2 years, and it turns out you may have been right this entire time and your theory could've been the final secret of the game 🤯 Check out latest vid if you haven't already seen it :)
Hey, I actually got the hardest ending to get in Blood and Wine on my first playthrough without research. Going for every dialogue and reading stuff paid off XD
I'm pissed that didn't happen for me, I got the good endings for everything else without research but I got the bad ending where you take the ribbon and they both die in blood and wine
Its 04:00AM and im watching your videos after playing witcher 3 for over 1800 hours. Your channel is such important part of witcher community. Thanks alot for everything. Much love to you and your family, may you all be healty and well
I just finished HoS yesterday and i wished this was the case too. Maybe the devs left it open ended for that reason? But in reality...just finish the story.
That would undermine his character and make the choice you could make to give him to gaunter invalid. As it is written, it fits the theme of the story just right
Me, realizing I made literally every wrong choice with Ciri except the optional one (which I didn't do): ._. It's cool though that the "wrong" decisions can feel like right ones too. Supporting your child in confronting someone, sharing a drink with her, trying to spare her the pain of seeing someone's grave who she cared about, giving her a necklace..
My thoughts exactly. I cannot put into words how cheated I feel about having done my utmost to support Ciri, and then the game makes her vanish, not even bothering to _tell_ me what happened to her. I don't mind the _money_ I paid for the game. I am seriously pissed about the *time* I sunk into it.
@@Noone-of-your-Business well, one could argue that you supported her as if she were a child. ciri in that time frame is a young adult woman, a woman that had to grow up so quickly next to her peers, possibly the most powerful human being ever lived. she got adult problems and needs geralt's help as a young adult, not a child. she needs to know that she can handle the sorceresses alone, reminding her that even though she is the most powerful human ever, she still needs time to blow off steam with his father figure and to see the grave of one of few humans that were good to her. being next to her when she visits skjall's grave is a must.
@@TheKurtkapan34 I appreciate the effort, but I fail to see how having a snowball fight or letting her trash somebody's office would be an "adult" way of solving a problem. As great as The Witcher's storytelling is, they really messed up these 5 completely arbitrary choices to determine the end sequence. And as a player, I really feel cheated here. And they also failed to make Geralt the protagonist of his *own* story in the finale. It all boils down to Ciri, making _her_ the hero of the story. Which matches the passages when the game forces you to play _her_ instead of the character that you have been building for dozens of hours. I _hated_ those Ciri sequences because they took away everything I had worked for so hard and forced me to play a game style that I had, very deliberately, NOT chosen when leveling my Geralt. This is not how _role playing_ works, and certainly not how gameplay in general works: taking away the player's *_agency._* Which is exactly what is wrong with the ending of this game.
Just finished the game, came to see all the different endings. I have to say, I had exactly the same ending as you. Only difference is that I joined in on Ciri talking to the sorceresses but helping her to find the grave. Didn't realize I was that close to a bad ending :O
My first playthrough endings were: Main game: 1 Ciri became a Witcher 2 Geralt ended up with Triss 3 Cerys became queen 4 Nilfgaard won the war Hearts of Stone: I tricked Gaunter Blood and Wine: Happy ending :)
I didn't take Ciri to Emhyr but only made 2 right decisions (Snowball + Skjall). Got the Meeting with her and Necklace wrong. So 2 right + 2 wrong but I still got Witcher ending. Phew.
Based on this, I only made 2 correct choices out of the 4 I encountered and got the Ciri becoming a witcher ending. I gave her the necklace, accompanied her with the sorceresses, and didn't take her to Nilfgaard. Based on the 3 choices rule I should have gotten the bad ending, unless not taking her to her father is maybe counted as a good choice?
I don't know how the game scores it internally, but I think it' more accurate to say you need to make 3 bad choices to get the bad ending, 2 bad choices always gives one of the good ones...
I believe you just have to make either more or an equal number of "good" choices to get one of the good endings. So if you make 2 good and 2 bad, (and don't do the optional 5th) you get a good ending.
yeah i did the same to you, guess the others reply is telling the truth.. wow we're so close at getting the sad ending, i was so scared and sad when Geralt come to Emyhr and told him that she's die.
just wanted to say that i love u bro. theres something about u that ive noticed in witcher enthusiasts, calm, humble and cognizant. keep up the good work. i like ur content.
My first ending was Ciri becoming empress. I did it accidentally. I had no idea what choices were involved in that case until now. Thanks for this video.
Thanks again! I kicked ass the first time I did Hearts of Stone, ( LOVED that story SO much ) but I failed Blood and Wine, ended up with a statue of Henrietta after her death but I was not in jail. No matter how many times I tried to play it different ways, I kept getting them dead, NOW I can do it right :D ( Loved Reginald the most...fave part was when he had to fall off the wagon, was caged and we were transforming him to get some blood, THAT was an epic scene, Reginald the monster!!!!! ) For my game, I did not know there was an outcome where I could have the Baron live, so I caught that in time too. Last playthrough, Yennefer showed up at the White Orchard tavern, and Ciri was not a Witcher. I SO enjoy this game and I am SO glad to have your vids to refer to for this round. Going 2 years plus not touching it has made it so enjoyable again. After Witcher, maybe Witcher PLUS 2nd playthrough, I will try CyberPunk again, I too, was one of those people that bought the game because it was from the people that brought us Witcher....SO angry they put out a buggy game after they made us wait FOREVER for it. Hopefully the bugs are worked out by now.
My first playthrough endings were like this: Main game: - Ciri became a Witcher - Geralt ended up with Triss - Cerys became queen - Nilfgaard won the war Hearts of Stone: I sided with Gaunter Blood and Wine: Both sisters died Except for Blood and Wine I can't really say I regret anything.
@@eredin9684 It's not about the sword or any rewards. It is about O'Dimm probably being my favorite character in the whole game and about me not liking Olgierd.
This is true. I ran in to the 'good' ending on my own with that specific dialog option. I think it's more of how much you stacked in the favor, rather than wholely specific choices. The specific choices help the matter. I was in the search for a better ending for Regis here, but I guess this is where I settle with the ending. This Witcher is ready to settle down...
I can tell you for certain that the last dialogue option is unimportant when trying to convince Syanna not to kill her sister. I did all the steps with the exception of the last dialogue option "you might ask her" and got the good ending the same.
>I would like to mention something: for the witcher ending, it doesn't matter if you see emhyr or not. However, if you DO see him, make the choice that doesn't get you the coin. AKA don't sell ciri. I got the ending with her as a witcher and I went to emhyr. Edit: thanks so much, this video helped me alot in blood and wine ✌
Are there ways for Ciri to become Empress at least if you take the coin? Got the Witcher ending, never even went to see Emyhr, but I wonder for New game +...🎋
One year ago i hesitantly bought this game for the switch just because i needed something open world. Was not a fan at all at first, and only kept playing because i paid for it. One year later, im sitting at the credits after receiving the good ending. Greatest investment ive ever made.
Honestly I always thought that the so called “bad ending” was actually the best ending from a writing and plot perspective. It fits the dark and gloomy nature of the Witcher’s world perfectly and the symbolism in it is just amazing. It is by far the deepest and most realistic ending to Geralt and Ciri’s story, in my opinion.
I also agree. Mainly because there's the fan fiction theory of the Aen Elle being to blame for creating the white frost when they started to experiment with magic. They also created the "elder blood" bloodline to counter this. No one knows this but Avallac'h seems to have found out in his lab between the books and the Witcher 3. So yeah, either Ciri dying when fighting the white frost or losing her magic makes sense. Anyway, I could never let Ciri die... Playing Witcher 3, reading the books, playing Witcher 2 and then 3 again.. I really feel like she's my little girl when I roam with Geralt!
Ammar S Basri I’m not saying it’s the best for everyone or my personal favorite, but there’s no denying that it’s the most realistic and fitting end to Geralt and Ciri’s story. It’s also by far the deepest in terms of symbolism and writing.
Since the orianna trailer is the extension of ciri visiting you in touissant and basically the real ending of this game the bad ending of the main game was probably not the intended one... even if it is the more fitting for the witcher. In any way it was my result after playing for the first time. I was deeply unsettled, mad and empty after that... the crones won.
P St neither ending was really intended 100% sure but if you read the books you can see that the focus is mostly on destiny and how fighting it is pointless and will only turn back and haunt you, so if you view the games as a continuation of the story of Ciri and Geralt then there’s no other ending that makes sense besides the “bad ending.” I understand what you’re saying though, but I think the beauty of CD Projekt Red is that they gave an ending for everyone to enjoy and be pleased with.
My 1st playthrough: Baron dies Emhyr wins Ciri wtcher (I did snowballs & skjalls grave) Cerys in skellige Geralt with yen HoS I helped Olgierd BaW deatlaff and both sisters dead (ribbon variation)
@@markerek01 I got this one too. Was bummed about Baron ending. Also killed Keira out of accident because I didn't think that would escalate that quickly LMAO.
I love the witcher 3. but I got the bad ending when I beat the main story. it left such a horrible taste in my mouth because I thought I was making a good choice.
xLetalis the choices I made where to have a drink with ciri (my reasoning was I thought playing with the snow would upset her as vesimer had just died so I thought I should take things more seriously) I went with her to the guys grave because who wouldn't honestly. I went in with her to talk to the sorceresses because I thought I was being good by supporting her. I didn't take her to emhyr because I didn't want to risk him taking her or something. and I didn't let her destroy avalachs place because you know I figured encouraging her to destroy others stuff was bad. lol so when I got the bad ending after all the hours I spent trying to save her just because I tried to have geralt be a good dad I was so mad. lol still love the witcher though. I just wish it had been a little more clear with those options.
@@DragonGunzDorian Agreed. Especially with Avallac´h´s place. If I would have known Geralt would strat wrecking the place just for LOLs, I would have picked that. Kinda hard to see this outcome just from the "Go for it" line.
Mr. Goldfinch I actually picked it our of curiosity and got a great laugh when yen drew a mustache on the portrait. but I reloaded as I didn't want to make avallach angry or anything. that and I wanted Geralt to be a responsible dad. the irony here here being that if I hadn't reloaded even if I had done everything else the same. I ! would have gotten the witcher ending. so because I tried to a responsible parent to ciri she most likely died. I love the witcher 3 but I was livid at the game for like a day or two. lol
Star Wars Music I won't spoil anything but it's a bit easier to get the good endings in the dlc. I got the good endings for both of them first try. and yeah I understand what you mean. I was seriously angry when I got the bad ending because I thought I made responsible choices. seriously after vesimer dies and ciri is upset, who thinks "well a beloved family member just died! let's play in the snow!" I mean really, they set us up for failure on that one.
Ceadmill, E'er y glòir aen Xletalis ! You never dissapoint me whenever you make a video about the Witcher video games.... Great job since I was also a bit confused about how to get the Ciri Witcher ending.... Visse gead'tocht gaedeen ! (You have done well !) 👍👍👍 Va fail...
For the first time ever, I played The Witcher 3 over the holidays even though I have had a physical copy of the game for more than 4 years. After finishing the base game, I paid and downloaded both expansion packs. Here are the endings that I got: 1). Emhyr conquers the North. 2). Ciri becomes a witcher. 3). Cerys is Queen of the Skellige Isles. 4). Geralt ends up with Triss. 5). (Hearts of Stone) Olgierd lives, Gaunter "dies." 6). (Blood and Wine) Anna Henrietta and Sylvia Anna both live, Dettlaff dies.
Apparently after this I still have 17 Things You've Missed videos to watch. I average 3-4 on a good day so nearly there. 152 videos (and counting. I wouldn't be surprised if you added another one before I'm done lol). You are insatiable.
@@xLetalis I'm onto the playthroughs now. The downside is there's no commentary from you. It feels strange watching your videos without a single word passing your lips.
I could binge these videos just to see both things I've done AND things I could think of doing in a next playthrough... because I have to play this game again! P.S. The only thing I can't bring myself to do is choose any woman other than Yennefer.
I just finished my first play though and I : did snowballs, didn’t go to emperor, went with Ciri to talk to the witches, gave her the necklace, and went with her to the grave. End result, Ciri became a Witcher in the end and after I finished a few contracts with her, I went to kovir with Triss.
I'm glad I managed to get the good ending. I skipped seeing the emperor since didn't think she would want that, and gave her the necklace since thought the necklace would help more
I played the game 3 times, It was always beyond my forces to : - Not saying "I love you" to my dear darling Triss. - Accept the coins from Emhyr for having Ciri back. (this moment is absolutely painful to watch) - Not buying Professor Glasses in HoS expansion.
For my first ending, Ciri was witcher (only did one 'bad choice, the drinking bit and going to bald mountain instead of Vizima). Assassinated Radovid and left Roche to defend himself. Emhyr dies. Cerys was ruler of Skellige. And of course; Geralt continued his journey alone on the Path, ever coinless"-- (only had 2000 some crowns, so yeah). Probably will keep playing this ending in the future, lol. But very interesting learning the other choices/options, though.
Sigma Geralt ending is when you take the coin from Emhyr, make Ciri empress but in your head canon, she is your puppet and you are her advisor, and true ruler of the empire. You also have to haggle every witcher contract to the maximum amount, and always accept coin if someone offers it, and never give it to anyone in dialogue options.
Not sure how, but the only "right" choices I made about Ciri were the snowball fight and the travelling together to Skellige, and still got the good ending (the one she becomes a witcher). I never visited Ehmyr with her, I gave her Lara Dorren's necklace and I joined her talk with the sorceresses.
My first playthrough: Main Storyline: - Witcher Ciri - Emhyr rules - Romance both Triss and Yen (and end up alone) Hearts of Stone: Save Olgierd Blood and Wine: - Both sisters are alive - Ciri visits
I killed radovid and dijkstra because i had a personal problem with them. If i knew it would mean ciri has to go back with emhyr then i wouldve let dijkstra win.
@@mememaster8368 Oh, I also killed both Radovid and Dijkstra but Ciri didn't go back to Emhyr. In fact I don't remember meeting up with Emhyr along with Ciri at all (the part where you can sell her out).
It's nice to have videos like this that shows what could have happened. Cus I simply can not do it any other way than what I do. And have done for 5 times of playing the original main story.
In my experience, actually you need 2 out of 4 “right” choices or 3 out of 5. But I don’t know if I avoid the bad ending with only 2 “right” decisions because it was the first time I played the game.
If you don't visit emhyr you only need to get two "right" choices, and missing the emhyr choice doesn't count against you. You just need to get half or higher to get the "good" endings.
Your whole video was helpful bro, I just finished heart of stone, I have memorized all the suggestions, ciri is Witcher, saved olgeird(sorry for spelling). Now Thanks for blood and wine. Gratitude form India. 🖐️
I remember how f... Heartbroken I was at the Ending of Witcher 3 - I mean, before the two Expansions. Ciri went into that Portal and than the Flashbacks came and I was like "NOOO I DID IT AGAIN! I FAILED AS IN WITCHER TWOOO!" (The First Playthrough, I play everytime without reloads so - So and in Witcher 2 I rescued Triss, betrayed Roche, let the Dragon Princess fly but didn't break the Curse, ... so yeah. Not the moral best ending I think) Anyway, I was like "God damn it, Ciri, nooo ;_;" and than ... As he brought her the Sword ... I was so f... happy!
13:18 actually this choice doesn't matter.i chose the 2nd option where geralt talks about his childhood and still got the best ending. And the choice also rather funny.
Blood and Wine is one of the best expansions I have ever played. I have been playing the Witcher for years and never delved into the expansions, rather naïve of me. B&W is like a game on its own, so good. H&S is fine enough too but B&W takes me back to the books. Cheers for all these videos over the years :)
heh, yeah, different things are obvious to different people I suppose. I also couldn't believe how many people thought the reverend is the real killer in the Carnal Sins
@@xLetalis same man, I killed reverend and thought myself as hero killing a villain caught red handed. Didn't even realized I did wrong until I saw your video.
13:17 not sure if this has changed since the video but you can pick either dialogue option here and still get the same ending. 14:48 same with this dialogue choice - I picked the other and got the same end
Holy shit; I got the most difficult endings totally blind! I didn’t know that there were other options until this popped up in my feed! Wouldn’t change a thing.
Thanks you for this! Super excited to start new game +. Finally got the time finish b&w, and prepped Geralt's inventory and mutagens as well. Will try this time to get the empress ending, but Im having second thoughts about Nilfgard winning..I got the Radovid ending, and he is a total nutjob IMO. For now, I'll focus on the Baron then take it from there.
I still don't understand how I got the worst ending. I thought I was making all the logical "right" decisions. But perhaps that's what they are. Logical, not emotional. I can't live Geralt's life like I live my own.
@@LeBronJames-ss9ij It appears to be so. After Vesemir's death, I just told her what I perceive of myself. That not everyone is capable of doing everything. Obviously, the snowball fight is better. Obviously, I never had a parent figure that taught me the value of horsing around, so I didn't even consider it. In the meeting with the sorceress', I thought: "Well, if she's too scared to go alone, I can be there to provide support." And then I stood in the corner until Philipa brought me into the conversation by force, denying Ciri her free will. Obviously, letting her make her own mistakes is better. Also, obviously that I grew up with a safety netting under my own mistakes. Which led me to do precisely what my mother did with Ciri. Playing this Dad Simulator has really opened my eyes to these issues. In Avalch's lair, as a stoic and also who's been taught since birth that destroying everything around just for emotion's sake is terrible and should be avoided. I saw no need for her to trash the place. But that's the thing, Ciri is not Geralt or Me. It helps people to act out their emotions instead of bottling them up or, in my case, letting them go. And yeah, we did go see her dead boyfriend. Since at least I know that to some people, human connections are essential. And that people need time to grieve. I'm not entirely heartless. lol So there it is-my reasoning.
I truly don't believe there is a good ending in B&W. In my eyes and heart, I don't see Detlaff as a bad person and I don't see the sisters as completely innocent. Sienna tricked Detlaff while Anna wants to kill Detlaff no matter, without even understanding he was deceived in the first place.
Wait, are we talking about annarietta or syanna? Don't forget that the latter was exiled from toussaint because she lied to a guy that which makes him kills his brother, hence why the 4 victim guards treated her like shit. Honestly i'm in the same boat with regis & dettlaff when i thought about her, but then again toussaint needed its one true duchess, elsewise toussaint never gonna be the same.
I personally think the prison ending is the most "natural" one, not the "best" one though. It gives me the feeling that the whole game offered: Geralt and his friends went through epic adventure, everything is not too bad, nor too perfect to be true, and end up with the situation that not good, but still positive, even funny somehow. They did something great, also did something hard to tell if it's good or bad, and still, they are not becoming some kind of glory saviors of the world, just each other's friends. I always have a vague feeling that the style of B&W isn't fitting the main game very well, maybe because it's too "cheerful" when it's been compared to other parts. But this ending solved this problem for me.
My 1st playthrough : War : Radovid wins Skellige : Cerys is a queen Ciri : Ciri is a witcher Geralt : Lives in Kovir with Triss In my second playthrough I have made the same decisions but I also played HoS and BaW and there I have made this decisions : HoS : Gaunter takes Olgierd soul ( I went to professor but I don't like Olgierd) BaW : Syanna dies, Dettlaff survives I don't regret anything.
I wanted that Ciri goes to Emhyr at the end, so i make it all just like you wrote in your video: I took Ciri to Emhyr Emhyr wins the war I did 3 right choices but even so in the end she became a witcher. My only bad choice was I joined her coversation with witches. So I think you must either have all 4 good choices or 3 as you said, but not to be at her conversation. Or???
I got the bad ending on my first playthrough because I thought I was making good choices until I got that ending and I watched this video. Now I'mma replay this game and make sure I get one of the good endings because I refuse to stop playing the game with a bad ending in my hands lol
You didn't show the cinematic of what will happen if we choose to seek the unseen vampire elder... btw a very helpful video, glad I saw it before completing half of the game.
@@xLetalis yep 100% sir In my 3rd gameplay i skipped of going to the professor so that i can ask about ciri to our beloved G. O. D So i didn't bothered but fast forward when i did the cursed wight quest. i had to reload through the checkpoint Trice to try to save the wight. There was no option to lift the curse, it was all an automatic sequence. I played the whole G.O.T.Y edition package, which thats probably why i experienced something different.
@@MsZofy maybe thats probably you're able to, i had to go back thrice to the checkpoint where i didn't enter the house to check Everything including the words, all the spoon, the dairies, Everything! Maybe because its the curse that G.O.D himself inflicted, and the fact that i didn't go to the professor to learn about his game in that playthrough, making geralt unaware about the word play to lift the curse.
What the actual fuck, I got the hardest ending on Blood & Wine on my first blind playthrough. You have to do so much combined choices for it to happen, what were the odds!
I didnt take ciri to emhyr I drank with her And i joined her conversation anout here future. Trashed the lab and went to bury skjall so 2/4 bad But still got the witcher ending? I did support her every time in her decisions when there was a dialogue option for it
I got this on my 1st playthrough: Emhyr wins the war Ciri becomes empress Cerys becomes Queen of Skellige Yennefer romance HoS: Saved Olgierd BaW: Saved both sisters 2nd playthrough: Dijkstra wins the war Ciri becomes a witcher Cerys becomes Queen of Skellige Triss romance Got the same endings for the DLCs as I did for my first playthrough.
Mine are Emhyr wins Ciri becomes witcher cerys becomes queen yen romance hos let olgierd die baw syanna died detlaff lived EDIT: meant witcher not empress
I think it's quite popular way of finishing the game. Like my first one is exactly like yours lol. And the second one I wanted to change my romance to Triss, after spending so much time with Yennifer, she got really annoying...
Bought the game and their expansions in 2020. Here's my endings in my first playthrough: Romance Yennefer, Kill Radovid, side with Roche, making Cerys the Queen, Nilfgaard wins the war, Ciri becomes empress. Heart of Stone: Let O'Dimm take Olgierds soul. Blood and Wine: Got the ribbon, convinced Syanna not to kill Henrietta, killed Detlaff. Im my second playthrough on NG+ now, planning to do everything the opposite. Romance Triss, let Dijstra rule the North, letting Ciri become a witcher etc.
I will watch this to get every ending but end up choosing the same ones all over again lol
:D I know how you feel
I never had ciri visit me as an empress in touissant.
I think it's definitely worth to check that out even though I would miss my Beloved.
the very first time I played this game I got the bad ending, the next time, I got the ending where Ciri becomes a Witcher, I have never been able to figure out how to get the Empress ending, I only ever get the quest to find Thaller, I think tha'ts the start of the 'kill Radivid' quest, but no other quest started to actually kill Radivid :-(
@@squallion777 After finding Thaler, you will get a quest where Dijkstra, Roche, Thaler all meet and plot to kill him, Also Philippa will spy on you and will help you. I don't remember the quest name though.
@@squallion777 okay that is the tricky part. After you finish Thaler's quest, "A Deadly Plot", the assassination quest will not pop up, because you need to do other things first. You just got to keep moving forward in the main story, you will eventually find Philippa in Djikstra's bathhouse right? When you are trying to get her from him, you should not [Shove Djikstra aside forcefully] but talk to him, you will tell him you have info on Emhyr and after that the assassination quest will be triggered, "Reasıon of State".
Seeing everyone in Geralt's new home together, smiling, feasting, spending time together, makes me wish this was actually in the game
so this is just fanmade? Cause otherwise I might try to get something unachievable :D

@Yarin Al Theyre both awsome
@Yarin Al Hearts of stone story is better, but Toussaint is so fucking awesome i have to give it to blood and wine
i actually spent 15 € for main game and both DLC
@Dex4Sure Fully agree
Er ik how tf you get it so cheap??? It’s $9.99 for one dlc and 24.99$ for blood n wine. Wtf. Plus the 25$ I paid for the game originally
I really wish the game against Gaunter O'Dimm had been Gwent. I would have crushed him.
hah, you wish!
No God, i suck at Gwent
Same!🙆♀️
How can you suck at gwent?? it's really easy and becomes even easier throughout the game. :)
@@geralt7926 maybe for a Witcher
I think Ciri doesn't actually die at the "bad ending", she just chose to disappear because of the way Geralt's been treating her. I mean in that scene in the tower, the same thing happens no matter what you chose, only the aftermath is different, so I don't think she could die only because of bad feelings or something like this.
" the way Geralt's been treating her", so touchy, sensitive Ciri then
@@alexsalvi1824 well, yeah, she is, have you even played the game?
I agree. in the bad ending, before killing the witch, ciri died she says: you will die soon, the prophecy says it doesn't lie, but we didnt die, that's why Ciri is alive.
It's been 2 years, and it turns out you may have been right this entire time and your theory could've been the final secret of the game 🤯

Man I really wish there was an ending where Olgeird chose to "end his life" in the picture world with Iris
I just finished HoS yesterday and i wished this was the case too. Maybe the devs left it open ended for that reason? But in reality...just finish the story.
That would undermine his character and make the choice you could make to give him to gaunter invalid. As it is written, it fits the theme of the story just right
Me, realizing I made literally every wrong choice with Ciri except the optional one (which I didn't do): ._.
It's cool though that the "wrong" decisions can feel like right ones too. Supporting your child in confronting someone, sharing a drink with her, trying to spare her the pain of seeing someone's grave who she cared about, giving her a necklace..
My thoughts exactly. I cannot put into words how cheated I feel about having done my utmost to support Ciri, and then the game makes her vanish, not even bothering to _tell_ me what happened to her. I don't mind the _money_ I paid for the game. I am seriously pissed about the *time* I sunk into it.
@@Noone-of-your-Business well, one could argue that you supported her as if she were a child. ciri in that time frame is a young adult woman, a woman that had to grow up so quickly next to her peers, possibly the most powerful human being ever lived. she got adult problems and needs geralt's help as a young adult, not a child.
she needs to know that she can handle the sorceresses alone, reminding her that even though she is the most powerful human ever, she still needs time to blow off steam with his father figure and to see the grave of one of few humans that were good to her. being next to her when she visits skjall's grave is a must.
@@TheKurtkapan34 I appreciate the effort, but I fail to see how having a snowball fight or letting her trash somebody's office would be an "adult" way of solving a problem. As great as The Witcher's storytelling is, they really messed up these 5 completely arbitrary choices to determine the end sequence. And as a player, I really feel cheated here.
And they also failed to make Geralt the protagonist of his *own* story in the finale. It all boils down to Ciri, making _her_ the hero of the story. Which matches the passages when the game forces you to play _her_ instead of the character that you have been building for dozens of hours. I _hated_ those Ciri sequences because they took away everything I had worked for so hard and forced me to play a game style that I had, very deliberately, NOT chosen when leveling my Geralt. This is not how _role playing_ works, and certainly not how gameplay in general works: taking away the player's *_agency._* Which is exactly what is wrong with the ending of this game.
None of your Business i felt the same about this. Well said.
@@Noone-of-your-Business 100% dude. The game was great. The writing at the end could've been improved just a bit and that would've changed everything
You dont have to choose “came to free you” I choose “came to look for my lost childhood” and everything played out well in the end
fair enough
I chose both "Came to look for my lost childhood" and "Might ask her that" and I also got the nice ending
Just finished the game, came to see all the different endings. I have to say, I had exactly the same ending as you. Only difference is that I joined in on Ciri talking to the sorceresses but helping her to find the grave. Didn't realize I was that close to a bad ending :O

I did and still got the best ending😂
Everytime i replay this game i want to decide diffetently for teh lulz. But everytime i just cannot betray myself. This game is sososo good.
And that money isn’t enough for any of the grandmaster armor lmao. Emhyr must be broke.
My first playthrough endings were:
Main game:
1 Ciri became a Witcher
2 Geralt ended up with Triss
3 Cerys became queen
4 Nilfgaard won the war
Hearts of Stone: I tricked Gaunter
Blood and Wine: Happy ending :)
I didn't take Ciri to Emhyr but only made 2 right decisions (Snowball + Skjall). Got the Meeting with her and Necklace wrong.
So 2 right + 2 wrong but I still got Witcher ending. Phew.
haha same here, 2 good out of 4 is enough!
I actually got the Empress ending, defeated Gunder O'Dimm, and saved the duchess and Syanna. I feel good about my first play through
Ciri becomes queen of skellige🧐🧐
:D
This shoulded have been a four ending to the main campaing , If we have the chance to save crach in the final battle against eredin .
Better a Witcher!
Hjalmar emperor , Cerys tavern owner
btw in blood and wine in the "good" ending while convicing syanna it doesnt matter if u choose "might ask her that" or "she was a child". Tested
Based on this, I only made 2 correct choices out of the 4 I encountered and got the Ciri becoming a witcher ending. I gave her the necklace, accompanied her with the sorceresses, and didn't take her to Nilfgaard. Based on the 3 choices rule I should have gotten the bad ending, unless not taking her to her father is maybe counted as a good choice?
I don't know how the game scores it internally, but I think it' more accurate to say you need to make 3 bad choices to get the bad ending, 2 bad choices always gives one of the good ones...
I believe you just have to make either more or an equal number of "good" choices to get one of the good endings. So if you make 2 good and 2 bad, (and don't do the optional 5th) you get a good ending.
yeah i did the same to you, guess the others reply is telling the truth.. wow we're so close at getting the sad ending, i was so scared and sad when Geralt come to Emyhr and told him that she's die.
just wanted to say that i love u bro. theres something about u that ive noticed in witcher enthusiasts, calm, humble and cognizant. keep up the good work. i like ur content.
If I had to describe the Witcher in one word it’d be; mesmerizing. Thank you for another great video man!
well said ;] my pleasure!
First playthrough: let Olgierd die and take saddle reward for your NG+
Save Olgierd in your next run :)
fair enough ;]
My first ending was Ciri becoming empress. I did it accidentally. I had no idea what choices were involved in that case until now. Thanks for this video.
Thanks again! I kicked ass the first time I did Hearts of Stone, ( LOVED that story SO much ) but I failed Blood and Wine, ended up with a statue of Henrietta after her death but I was not in jail. No matter how many times I tried to play it different ways, I kept getting them dead, NOW I can do it right :D ( Loved Reginald the most...fave part was when he had to fall off the wagon, was caged and we were transforming him to get some blood, THAT was an epic scene, Reginald the monster!!!!! ) For my game, I did not know there was an outcome where I could have the Baron live, so I caught that in time too. Last playthrough, Yennefer showed up at the White Orchard tavern, and Ciri was not a Witcher. I SO enjoy this game and I am SO glad to have your vids to refer to for this round. Going 2 years plus not touching it has made it so enjoyable again. After Witcher, maybe Witcher PLUS 2nd playthrough, I will try CyberPunk again, I too, was one of those people that bought the game because it was from the people that brought us Witcher....SO angry they put out a buggy game after they made us wait FOREVER for it. Hopefully the bugs are worked out by now.

3 years ago : xLetalis does videos about the witcher
Now : xLetalis does videos about the witcher
*some things never change*
Pretty sure I choose the childhood dialogue response and the "might ask her" dialogue, but still got both of them alive in the end.
This is true. I ran in to the 'good' ending on my own with that specific dialog option. I think it's more of how much you stacked in the favor, rather than wholely specific choices. The specific choices help the matter. I was in the search for a better ending for Regis here, but I guess this is where I settle with the ending. This Witcher is ready to settle down...
If you choose to just start the DLC blood and wine without ever playing the main game, Dandelion shows up at the end
Ciri being Empress is bad especially when you say you’re leaving, it breaks her heart
I can tell you for certain that the last dialogue option is unimportant when trying to convince Syanna not to kill her sister. I did all the steps with the exception of the last dialogue option "you might ask her" and got the good ending the same.
God bless this masterpiece.
>I would like to mention something: for the witcher ending, it doesn't matter if you see emhyr or not. However, if you DO see him, make the choice that doesn't get you the coin. AKA don't sell ciri. I got the ending with her as a witcher and I went to emhyr.
Edit: thanks so much, this video helped me alot in blood and wine ✌
Are there ways for Ciri to become Empress at least if you take the coin?
Got the Witcher ending, never even went to see Emyhr, but I wonder for New game +...🎋
One year ago i hesitantly bought this game for the switch just because i needed something open world. Was not a fan at all at first, and only kept playing because i paid for it.
One year later, im sitting at the credits after receiving the good ending. Greatest investment ive ever made.
yup this game is quite well made.
Exactly, I hated it when I bought it, but after I got hooked (around the baron quest) I got hooked for life
Honestly I always thought that the so called “bad ending” was actually the best ending from a writing and plot perspective. It fits the dark and gloomy nature of the Witcher’s world perfectly and the symbolism in it is just amazing. It is by far the deepest and most realistic ending to Geralt and Ciri’s story, in my opinion.
Yeah, I totally agree with you but it had me devestated for the rest of the day, not gonna lie
I also agree. Mainly because there's the fan fiction theory of the Aen Elle being to blame for creating the white frost when they started to experiment with magic.
They also created the "elder blood" bloodline to counter this.
No one knows this but Avallac'h seems to have found out in his lab between the books and the Witcher 3.
So yeah, either Ciri dying when fighting the white frost or losing her magic makes sense.
Anyway, I could never let Ciri die... Playing Witcher 3, reading the books, playing Witcher 2 and then 3 again.. I really feel like she's my little girl when I roam with Geralt!
Ammar S Basri I’m not saying it’s the best for everyone or my personal favorite, but there’s no denying that it’s the most realistic and fitting end to Geralt and Ciri’s story. It’s also by far the deepest in terms of symbolism and writing.
Since the orianna trailer is the extension of ciri visiting you in touissant and basically the real ending of this game the bad ending of the main game was probably not the intended one... even if it is the more fitting for the witcher. In any way it was my result after playing for the first time. I was deeply unsettled, mad and empty after that... the crones won.
P St neither ending was really intended 100% sure but if you read the books you can see that the focus is mostly on destiny and how fighting it is pointless and will only turn back and haunt you, so if you view the games as a continuation of the story of Ciri and Geralt then there’s no other ending that makes sense besides the “bad ending.” I understand what you’re saying though, but I think the beauty of CD Projekt Red is that they gave an ending for everyone to enjoy and be pleased with.
My 1st playthrough:
Baron dies
Emhyr wins
Ciri wtcher (I did snowballs & skjalls grave)
Cerys in skellige
Geralt with yen
HoS I helped Olgierd
BaW deatlaff and both sisters dead (ribbon variation)
well done ;]
I was glad that exept for the baron I achieved all the endings I wanted without looking them up
@@markerek01 I got this one too. Was bummed about Baron ending. Also killed Keira out of accident because I didn't think that would escalate that quickly LMAO.
You're glad about killing dettlaff and both sisters? That's macabre.
@@kanegamer5595 I mean I was satisfied with this ending, it fit the witcher world
I love the witcher 3. but I got the bad ending when I beat the main story. it left such a horrible taste in my mouth because I thought I was making a good choice.
I like that one
xLetalis the choices I made where to have a drink with ciri (my reasoning was I thought playing with the snow would upset her as vesimer had just died so I thought I should take things more seriously)
I went with her to the guys grave because who wouldn't honestly.
I went in with her to talk to the sorceresses because I thought I was being good by supporting her.
I didn't take her to emhyr because I didn't want to risk him taking her or something.
and I didn't let her destroy avalachs place because you know I figured encouraging her to destroy others stuff was bad. lol so when I got the bad ending after all the hours I spent trying to save her just because I tried to have geralt be a good dad I was so mad. lol still love the witcher though. I just wish it had been a little more clear with those options.
@@DragonGunzDorian Agreed. Especially with Avallac´h´s place. If I would have known Geralt would strat wrecking the place just for LOLs, I would have picked that. Kinda hard to see this outcome just from the "Go for it" line.
Mr. Goldfinch I actually picked it our of curiosity and got a great laugh when yen drew a mustache on the portrait. but I reloaded as I didn't want to make avallach angry or anything. that and I wanted Geralt to be a responsible dad. the irony here here being that if I hadn't reloaded even if I had done everything else the same. I ! would have gotten the witcher ending. so because I tried to a responsible parent to ciri she most likely died. I love the witcher 3 but I was livid at the game for like a day or two. lol
Star Wars Music I won't spoil anything but it's a bit easier to get the good endings in the dlc. I got the good endings for both of them first try. and yeah I understand what you mean. I was seriously angry when I got the bad ending because I thought I made responsible choices. seriously after vesimer dies and ciri is upset, who thinks "well a beloved family member just died! let's play in the snow!"
I mean really, they set us up for failure on that one.
Ceadmill, E'er y glòir aen Xletalis ! You never dissapoint me whenever you make a video about the Witcher video games....

Va fail...
I hope you and Ciri live happily ever after :)
Geralt should have handed the coin straight over to Ciri as her 'inheritance' , so that way emhyr has to pay up but shows he didn't do it for the coin
For the first time ever, I played The Witcher 3 over the holidays even though I have had a physical copy of the game for more than 4 years. After finishing the base game, I paid and downloaded both expansion packs. Here are the endings that I got:
1). Emhyr conquers the North.
2). Ciri becomes a witcher.
3). Cerys is Queen of the Skellige Isles.
4). Geralt ends up with Triss.
5). (Hearts of Stone) Olgierd lives, Gaunter "dies."
6). (Blood and Wine) Anna Henrietta and Sylvia Anna both live, Dettlaff dies.
Apparently after this I still have 17 Things You've Missed videos to watch.
I average 3-4 on a good day so nearly there.
152 videos (and counting. I wouldn't be surprised if you added another one before I'm done lol).
You are insatiable.
Damn, thank you for watching! Glad to know people are enjoying the videos :)
@@xLetalis I'm onto the playthroughs now. The downside is there's no commentary from you. It feels strange watching your videos without a single word passing your lips.
I could binge these videos just to see both things I've done AND things I could think of doing in a next playthrough... because I have to play this game again!
P.S. The only thing I can't bring myself to do is choose any woman other than Yennefer.
Sees the thumbnail, cried a lil bit.
:(
Kinda wish i could get yen and ciri move in with geralt's vineyard. Then yen could do a more motherly role for ciri
I just finished my first play though and I : did snowballs, didn’t go to emperor, went with Ciri to talk to the witches, gave her the necklace, and went with her to the grave. End result, Ciri became a Witcher in the end and after I finished a few contracts with her, I went to kovir with Triss.
I'm glad I managed to get the good ending. I skipped seeing the emperor since didn't think she would want that, and gave her the necklace since thought the necklace would help more
I played the game 3 times, It was always beyond my forces to :
- Not saying "I love you" to my dear darling Triss.
- Accept the coins from Emhyr for having Ciri back. (this moment is absolutely painful to watch)
- Not buying Professor Glasses in HoS expansion.
ew triss
Easy to let go boring Triss for me... after some Loc Muinne at W2 not hard to do. And 2k? cmon, 5-6 orange swords sold to blacksmith does it
Just realised i literally chose all the bad options
For my first ending, Ciri was witcher (only did one 'bad choice, the drinking bit and going to bald mountain instead of Vizima). Assassinated Radovid and left Roche to defend himself. Emhyr dies. Cerys was ruler of Skellige. And of course; Geralt continued his journey alone on the Path, ever coinless"-- (only had 2000 some crowns, so yeah).
Probably will keep playing this ending in the future, lol. But very interesting learning the other choices/options, though.
Sigma Geralt ending is when you take the coin from Emhyr, make Ciri empress but in your head canon, she is your puppet and you are her advisor, and true ruler of the empire. You also have to haggle every witcher contract to the maximum amount, and always accept coin if someone offers it, and never give it to anyone in dialogue options.
5:00 witcher ending man I got one I didn't want empress ending on my first try damn it
Holy crap i got every single worst ending and still loved it damn might have to play though it again now
Same brotha
Not sure how, but the only "right" choices I made about Ciri were the snowball fight and the travelling together to Skellige, and still got the good ending (the one she becomes a witcher). I never visited Ehmyr with her, I gave her Lara Dorren's necklace and I joined her talk with the sorceresses.
Same here! I guess the skipping of Ehmyr counts as a right one automatically? Or makes it so you only need two right ones?
My first playthrough:
Main Storyline:
- Witcher Ciri
- Emhyr rules
- Romance both Triss and Yen (and end up alone)
Hearts of Stone:
Save Olgierd
Blood and Wine:
- Both sisters are alive
- Ciri visits
I killed radovid and dijkstra because i had a personal problem with them. If i knew it would mean ciri has to go back with emhyr then i wouldve let dijkstra win.
@@mememaster8368 Oh, I also killed both Radovid and Dijkstra but Ciri didn't go back to Emhyr. In fact I don't remember meeting up with Emhyr along with Ciri at all (the part where you can sell her out).
It's nice to have videos like this that shows what could have happened. Cus I simply can not do it any other way than what I do. And have done for 5 times of playing the original main story.
In my experience, actually you need 2 out of 4 “right” choices or 3 out of 5. But I don’t know if I avoid the bad ending with only 2 “right” decisions because it was the first time I played the game.
Exactly what I got in my first playthrough. Knowing that I was so close to loose her is... kind of terrifying.
@@GeraltofRomaN7 same goes to me
1:07 untrue, I made only 2 “right” choices out of 4 (didn’t visit Emhyr) and still got one of the “good” endings.
fair enough, I've never done that myself
xLetalis Came here from “also shameless plug @everyone” :)
🤔🤔
Karen Grdm The comment where he pinged the discord server notifying us of this video.
If you don't visit emhyr you only need to get two "right" choices, and missing the emhyr choice doesn't count against you. You just need to get half or higher to get the "good" endings.
Your whole video was helpful bro, I just finished heart of stone, I have memorized all the suggestions, ciri is Witcher, saved olgeird(sorry for spelling). Now Thanks for blood and wine. Gratitude form India. 🖐️
hey my pleasure :)
@13:20 and @14:50 I chose the other option still had the good ending. Great video!!
I remember how f... Heartbroken I was at the Ending of Witcher 3 - I mean, before the two Expansions. Ciri went into that Portal and than the Flashbacks came and I was like "NOOO I DID IT AGAIN! I FAILED AS IN WITCHER TWOOO!" (The First Playthrough, I play everytime without reloads so - So and in Witcher 2 I rescued Triss, betrayed Roche, let the Dragon Princess fly but didn't break the Curse, ... so yeah. Not the moral best ending I think)
Anyway, I was like "God damn it, Ciri, nooo ;_;" and than ... As he brought her the Sword ... I was so f... happy!
13:18 actually this choice doesn't matter.i chose the 2nd option where geralt talks about his childhood and still got the best ending. And the choice also rather funny.
Blood and Wine is one of the best expansions I have ever played. I have been playing the Witcher for years and never delved into the expansions, rather naïve of me. B&W is like a game on its own, so good. H&S is fine enough too but B&W takes me back to the books. Cheers for all these videos over the years :)
I am so grateful that I got this video recommended especially from you

Super excited to start new game +.
Finally got the time finish b&w, and prepped Geralt's inventory and mutagens as well. Will try this time to get the empress ending, but Im having second thoughts about Nilfgard winning..I got the Radovid ending, and he is a total nutjob IMO.
For now, I'll focus on the Baron then take it from there.
my pleasure ;]
I still don't understand how I got the worst ending. I thought I was making all the logical "right" decisions.
But perhaps that's what they are. Logical, not emotional. I can't live Geralt's life like I live my own.
I mean... the "worst" ending is based purely on how Ciri sees things, it doesn't necessarily mean that you were wrong I suppose :)
@@xLetalis My choices sent her to her death! If anything, that is the failure of a "father."
You didn't support her on what she wants to do. You keep doubting her so she lost her confidence on herself
@@LeBronJames-ss9ij It appears to be so.
After Vesemir's death, I just told her what I perceive of myself. That not everyone is capable of doing everything. Obviously, the snowball fight is better. Obviously, I never had a parent figure that taught me the value of horsing around, so I didn't even consider it.
In the meeting with the sorceress', I thought: "Well, if she's too scared to go alone, I can be there to provide support." And then I stood in the corner until Philipa brought me into the conversation by force, denying Ciri her free will. Obviously, letting her make her own mistakes is better. Also, obviously that I grew up with a safety netting under my own mistakes. Which led me to do precisely what my mother did with Ciri. Playing this Dad Simulator has really opened my eyes to these issues.
In Avalch's lair, as a stoic and also who's been taught since birth that destroying everything around just for emotion's sake is terrible and should be avoided. I saw no need for her to trash the place. But that's the thing, Ciri is not Geralt or Me. It helps people to act out their emotions instead of bottling them up or, in my case, letting them go.
And yeah, we did go see her dead boyfriend. Since at least I know that to some people, human connections are essential. And that people need time to grieve. I'm not entirely heartless. lol
So there it is-my reasoning.
I truly don't believe there is a good ending in B&W.
In my eyes and heart, I don't see Detlaff as a bad person and I don't see the sisters as completely innocent.
Sienna tricked Detlaff while Anna wants to kill Detlaff no matter, without even understanding he was deceived in the first place.
it's fair to say that, I personally don't know which is best either... I'd say that Anna doesn't deserve to die... but beyond that idk
@@xLetalis Im in the same boat as you. I like Anna but I like Detlaff too. 😒😒
The saddest things for me was our old friend regis isn't gonna stick around toussaint no matter what we do :(
Wait, are we talking about annarietta or syanna?
Don't forget that the latter was exiled from toussaint because she lied to a guy that which makes him kills his brother, hence why the 4 victim guards treated her like shit.
Honestly i'm in the same boat with regis & dettlaff when i thought about her, but then again toussaint needed its one true duchess, elsewise toussaint never gonna be the same.
I personally think the prison ending is the most "natural" one, not the "best" one though. It gives me the feeling that the whole game offered: Geralt and his friends went through epic adventure, everything is not too bad, nor too perfect to be true, and end up with the situation that not good, but still positive, even funny somehow. They did something great, also did something hard to tell if it's good or bad, and still, they are not becoming some kind of glory saviors of the world, just each other's friends.
I always have a vague feeling that the style of B&W isn't fitting the main game very well, maybe because it's too "cheerful" when it's been compared to other parts. But this ending solved this problem for me.
The snowball fight didn’t just help ciri it also helped me. Rip vesemir. Ffs had me in tears
My 1st playthrough :
War : Radovid wins
Skellige : Cerys is a queen
Ciri : Ciri is a witcher
Geralt : Lives in Kovir with Triss
In my second playthrough I have made the same decisions but I also played HoS and BaW and there I have made this decisions :
HoS : Gaunter takes Olgierd soul ( I went to professor but I don't like Olgierd)
BaW : Syanna dies, Dettlaff survives
I don't regret anything.
Simply, if you want good ending, you have to make ciri happy
Smart view
I was able to get Ciri Witcher ending with only getting the snowballs and the Skjall choices correct while not visiting Emyr.
Bruh I literally chose all the wrong choices 😭😭
:(
There's also one more small variation to the Dandelion ending. If Anna Henrietta dies, he has a small dialogue with Geralt on that.
yep, I forgot to mention that!
very weird I cry when the game is over
I wanted that Ciri goes to Emhyr at the end, so i make it all just like you wrote in your video:
I took Ciri to Emhyr
Emhyr wins the war
I did 3 right choices
but even so in the end she became a witcher. My only bad choice was I joined her coversation with witches.
So I think you must either have all 4 good choices or 3 as you said, but not to be at her conversation. Or???
That paying out scene... omfg so awkward 😭
it's great!
I mean who in the world would accept money for their children. That's heartless.
I got the bad ending on my first playthrough because I thought I was making good choices until I got that ending and I watched this video. Now I'mma replay this game and make sure I get one of the good endings because I refuse to stop playing the game with a bad ending in my hands lol
good luck :)
You didn't show the cinematic of what will happen if we choose to seek the unseen vampire elder... btw a very helpful video, glad I saw it before completing half of the game.
Litle extra: if you did not visit the professor in HoS, you cannot lift the wight curse in B&W.
oh? Are you sure? I'm nearly certain I've done it in a standalone B&W playthrough
@@xLetalis yep 100% sir
In my 3rd gameplay i skipped of going to the professor so that i can ask about ciri to our beloved
G. O. D
So i didn't bothered but fast forward when i did the cursed wight quest.
i had to reload through the checkpoint Trice to try to save the wight.
There was no option to lift the curse, it was all an automatic sequence.
I played the whole G.O.T.Y edition package, which thats probably why i experienced something different.
xLetalis maybe B&W stand-alone assumes you did visit the professor.
In my NG+ I went to Toussaint first and definitely was able to lift the curse. Maybe you missed some clues around the house?
@@MsZofy maybe thats probably you're able to, i had to go back thrice to the checkpoint where i didn't enter the house to check Everything including the words, all the spoon, the dairies, Everything!
Maybe because its the curse that G.O.D himself inflicted, and the fact that i didn't go to the professor to learn about his game in that playthrough, making geralt unaware about the word play to lift the curse.
Geralt- i want the geralt of rivia gwent card
Gaunter O'Dimm- not possible take my valuable soul instead
When you get the best ending on ur first playthrough. Hell yea
What the actual fuck, I got the hardest ending on Blood & Wine on my first blind playthrough. You have to do so much combined choices for it to happen, what were the odds!
You got exactly the same ending as I did in my first playtrough.
In HoS I did not interrupt Gaunter
In BaW I did the 4th ending
I didnt take ciri to emhyr
I drank with her
And i joined her conversation anout here future.
Trashed the lab and went to bury skjall so 2/4 bad
But still got the witcher ending?
I did support her every time in her decisions when there was a dialogue option for it
I got the rarest ending of B&W by playing without any tips lol
I got this on my 1st playthrough:
Emhyr wins the war
Ciri becomes empress
Cerys becomes Queen of Skellige
Yennefer romance
HoS: Saved Olgierd
BaW: Saved both sisters
2nd playthrough:
Dijkstra wins the war
Ciri becomes a witcher
Cerys becomes Queen of Skellige
Triss romance
Got the same endings for the DLCs as I did for my first playthrough.
Mine are
Emhyr wins
Ciri becomes witcher
cerys becomes queen
yen romance
hos let olgierd die
baw syanna died detlaff lived
EDIT: meant witcher not empress
I think it's quite popular way of finishing the game. Like my first one is exactly like yours lol. And the second one I wanted to change my romance to Triss, after spending so much time with Yennifer, she got really annoying...
Bought the game and their expansions in 2020. Here's my endings in my first playthrough: Romance Yennefer, Kill Radovid, side with Roche, making Cerys the Queen, Nilfgaard wins the war, Ciri becomes empress. Heart of Stone: Let O'Dimm take Olgierds soul. Blood and Wine: Got the ribbon, convinced Syanna not to kill Henrietta, killed Detlaff. Im my second playthrough on NG+ now, planning to do everything the opposite. Romance Triss, let Dijstra rule the North, letting Ciri become a witcher etc.
