The Aen Hen Ichaer

Make a thorough inspection of this chamber, with your Witcher Senses picking up the following:

• A scattering of sweets and candy on a table with a jug on it. Now speak with Yennefer.
• A quick chat with Yennefer reveals that someone was just in this chamber.
• A hairbrush on a table indicates this to be more of a bedroom than a laboratory.

Follow the corridor down the steps, and into a lower chamber:

• A desk has perfume on it, and a standard mirror (not a portal). You can speak with Ciri about this.
• The largest surprise adorns the massive archway wall within this chamber. A genealogical chart of the Aen Hen Ichaer (or Elder Blood) from the start of the line to Ciri herself. It seems Avallac’h analyzed all the paths of Lara Dorren (the first), even those thought to be extinct. Tell Yennefer to look at the notes Avallac’h wrote, and you uncover a plan to cultivate a genetic mix like Ciri’s, but without the human line. All attempts failed.

Head to the door on the opposite wall of this chamber. If you don’t head there, Yennefer notices someone on the other side.

Open the door, and enter what appears to be Avallac’h’s bedroom. You interrupt a she-elf combing her hair. Avallac’h’s lover demands you leave, until she sees Ciri, and tells you she remembers her from Tir Ná Lia. Answer her how you wish. This doesn’t help the situation—the she-elf tells you Avallac’h mentioned Ciri shares Lara’s features, but not her skill and intellect. Avallac’h told the she-elf he was following Ciri to save her, every time she did something stupid. She treats Ciri with contempt, hinting that Avallac’h is using Ciri for another task. Answer how you wish. She calls Ciri a degenerate half-breed.

Ciri is furious, and wants to ransack Avallac’h’s laboratory. Respond with:

“Go for it.” You push over a bottle. Ciri cracks a smile. You encourage Ciri to throw a tantrum in the laboratory, venting her frustrations out on the furniture and assorted objects. This makes Ciri stronger.

Ciri’s Fate (4 of 5): Positive Choice (+1)

“Calm down.” You spend a few moments calming Ciri down, speaking of her great gift. Then you fasten Lara Dorren’s necklace around Ciri’s neck. Ciri leaves the laboratory, weakened in her resolve.

Ciri’s Fate (4 of 5): Negative Choice (-1)

Outside, Ciri says she would like to go to Hindarsfjall and meet Skjall, the boy who saved her from the Wild Hunt. Yennefer tells her Skjall is dead. A sorrowful Ciri now wants to visit his grave. Respond with:

“Yeah, I’ll go with you.” You encourage Ciri to say her final goodbyes to the fallen Skjall, and perhaps give him the hero’s burial he was denied. Yennefer opens a portal, and you both teleport to Hindarsfjall. Main Quest: Skjall’s Grave begins, and Ciri is stronger.

Ciri’s Fate (5 of 5): Positive Choice (+1)

“No time.” Although you understand she wishes to pay her respects to the “Craven” one, there simply isn’t time to waste journeying to Hindarsfjall. The Wild Hunt must be stopped now! Main Quest: Skjall’s Grave isn’t available, and Ciri is weakened by your choice.
