The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt The Complete Edition eGuide Quest Walkthrough: Act II Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield

Letting Go in the Snow, or Drowning in Drink

Objectives:

  • Don’t let the snowballs hit you (8).
  • Defeat Ciri in a snowball fight (8).

Fate of the Swallow

Choice #1 Ahead!

You are about to make one of the five most important choices in your adventure, and one that has direct consequences on the Ending, and the fate of Ciri! If you wish to know more, reference the Endings Section of the eGuide.

A few days pass after the battle, Ciri appears with Avallac’h, disheartened that she hasn’t been able to put the thoughts of the battle behind her, and focus on her training. She asks how you manage it. Respond with:

“Think I know what might lift your spirits.” Your “ancient” method for dealing with loss is to pelt Ciri with snowballs. Begin a small and entertaining fight using only balls of snow. Use the trees and battlement walls as cover, and don’t worry about winning or losing. Ciri cheers up a bit. Afterwards, you can ask her about her travels between worlds, and how Eredin locates her.

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

“Relax, you don’t have to be good at everything.” You open some of Lambert’s famous home brew, and drown yourselves in it. Ciri loosens up a little, but is still resigned to failure, especially after you drone on, lecturing her.

Fate of the Swallow

Choice #2 Ahead!

You are about to make another of the five most important choices in your adventure, and one that has direct consequences on the Ending, and the fate of Ciri! In this particular case, visiting the emperor allows you to add a positive or negative choice to your total (giving you a total of five choices, rather than four if you ignore visiting the emperor). If you wish to know more, reference the Endings Section of the eGuide.

You are awakened by Ciri early in the morning. She seems excited, has the horses ready and explains that you need to head into Velen, to the witches’ Sabbath on Bald Mountain.

The guest of honor there will be Imlerith. This is a perfect opportunity to slay him and avenge Vesemir. Before you agree, answer her how you wish, until you choose the following:

“Gotta visit the emperor first.” You embark on the journey to Vizima.

“All right, Velen it is.” You head to Bald Mountain, and this quest concludes now.

Fate of the Swallow

It is important for the ending you wish to choose, that Ciri visits or ignores the emperor:

If she sees the emperor, she will become Empress, and this allows Epilogue: Something Ends, Something Begins (II) to be possibly accessed, with enough positive choices.


If she ignores the emperor, this allows Epilogue: Something Ends, Something Begins (III) to be possibly accessed with enough positive choices.
