Quest Conclusion: One Last Farewell?

Climb the wooden wharf to reach Dijkstra’s men, then the man himself. The boat isn’t in the best shape, but it should make the trip to Kovir. You have a brief opportunity to verbally tussle with Dijkstra (answer how you wish) about your affections for Triss, before a physical tussle with the advancing witch hunters becomes inevitable. Kill all six of them, advancing onto the main dock if fighting becomes cramped.

Triss returns with the mages. She’ll never forget what you did for her. At this point, you can:

Tell her “farewell” and she forlornly boards the ship, which sets sail for Kovir.

Tell her, “stay with me” and she tells you she can’t do this again, with you. You both had your chance. You can tell her:

“Go, I’ll miss you” and she boards the boat. “Let’s try again” and she refuses, and boards the boat. “I love you,” and she still boards the boat.

Return to Dijkstra, who tells you of his own failed love story (which you can listen to or not). Then, only if the following circumstances have been fulfilled, Triss returns to shore, shocked at your passion. You need to:

Kiss her during the masquerade ball (Secondary Quest: A Matter of Life and Death).

Not have told her that you couldn’t help her with the mages, at the beginning of this quest; you must agree to help.

Tell her “I love you” at this point. Answer her politely (don’t say she’s “changeable,” or anything unpleasant), and she tells you she knows a spot where you can watch the ships.”

• Without Triss—You bid Dijkstra farewell, who tells you he needs some help with the assassination of King Radovid, and a meeting has been arranged at the Passiflora (Secondary Quest: A Deadly Plot), and the quest concludes.
• With Triss—You recline at the lighthouse, watching the mages’ ship sail away, and engage in a spot of majestic revelry. Triss is now considered your girlfriend (whether or not Yennefer is, too!). After your trist with Triss, you climb down the lighthouse, and run into Dijkstra, who tells you he needs some help with the assassination of King Radovid, and a meeting has been arranged at the Passiflora (Secondary Quest: A Deadly Plot), and the quest concludes.
