Questing Decisions

This series of quests begin once Main Quest: Through Time and Space has been completed. Expect some differences depending on your previous actions.

The new ruler of Skellige, and interactions at Kaer Trolde are different, depending on your previous actions:

During Secondary Quest: King’s Gambit, if you undertook the mission with Cerys, she becomes the ruler.

During Secondary Quest: King’s Gambit, if you undertook the mission with Hjalmar, he becomes the ruler.

If you ignored Secondary Quest: King’s Gambit, Svanrige Bran becomes the ruler.

The first part of Main Quest: Sunstone, plays out differently depending on whether an An Craite or a Bran sits on the throne.

There are no more flirtatious conversations between you, Yennefer, or Triss. However, if you attempted the threesome during Secondary Quest: It Takes Three to Tango (by romancing both women throughout your adventure to that point), you can speak to either Yennefer, or Triss, or both, about this embarrassing and failed tryst.

Objectives:

Find the Sunstone.
Pick Fringilla up on the emperor’s ship.

It is a few days after the events of Main Quest: Through Time and Space, and you are arriving in Skellige with Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, Avallac’h, and a small coven of sorceresses. Yennefer releases a raven and uncovers the whereabouts of His Imperial Majesty—a battle fleet is moored off the coast! From various conversations, you uncover the following:

Ciri wants to find the Sunstone immediately. This powerful artifact was created so the Mountain Elves could summon the vessels of the Aen Elle. However, the Sunstone could be anywhere on any of the Skellige islands. You deem it necessary to speak to Ermion, as he’s likely to have clues to its whereabouts. This begins Main Quest: The Sunstone.
Yennefer is keen on extricating a sorceress named Fringilla Vigo from the Emphyr’s ship. She cannot teleport you aboard, and Triss’ plan of a full frontal assault is untenable. But if you were to board the ship under cover of darkness, and hand him the letter Yennefer gives you, the sorceress could be bartered for. This begins Main Quest: Veni Vidi Vigo.
