The Witcher 2 decision checklist

This page covers the decisions you have to make during The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and the way they impact the further story. For the decision checklist for the original game see The Witcher decision checklist.

Help Newboy

 * Decision: Talk Newboy into wearing his armor or let him assault the castle wearing the magical amulet.
 * Consequences:
 * If you manage to persuade him and to give you the amulet he survives the battle and helps you during the escape by distracting guards. He thanks you for saving his life and gives you a tome about dragons.
 * If you tell him you are not sure about the effects of the amulet, he will survive as well, but he won't give you the amulet and you would need to kill him later in order to obtain the amulet.
 * If he goes into battle in his underwear only, hoping the amulet will protect him, he dies and you can loot his corpse for the amulet later.

Aryan La Valette

 * Decision: Kill Aryan La Valette or force him to surrender.
 * Consequences:
 * If you kill him, you will later encounter Mary Louisa La Valette, his mother. It is hinted that the La Valetts may fall under the influence of Nilfgaard.
 * If he lives, you encounter him later in the dungeons. The La Valette house remains respected in Temeria.

Dungeons: Aryan

 * Decision: If Aryan lives, encounter him near his cell or in the torture chamber.
 * Consequences:
 * If you find him in the torture chamber, he is just being tortured to sign a confession that the royal bastards are actually his children conceived in an incestuous relationship with his mother. You help him escape, he shows you a secret passage and blows the castle up.
 * If you find him near his cell, the confession is already signed and you see him escape from the guards. You help him, he shows you a secret passage and blows the castle up.

Dungeons: Mary Louisa

 * Decision: If you killed Aryan, encounter her near her cell or in the torture chamber.
 * Consequences:
 * If you find her in the torture chamber, she is just being tortured to sign a confession that the royal bastards were actually conceived in an incestuous relationship with her son Aryan. You help her escape (during which you can see her topless for a while) but shortly after that ambassador Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen intervenes. He takes the baroness under his "protection" and helps you escape trough the main gate. The castle remains intact.
 * If you find her near her cell, she has already signed the confession and is being led away by the ambassador. You encouter them later, she persuades the ambassador to let you escape trough the main gate. The castle remains intact.

 * Consequences:

Malena

 * Decision: After examinating the cave you can either accuse her for working for Squirrels or go to see what she wants to show you or you can pretend you don't know about her work for Squirrels.
 * Consequences:
 * If you accuse her*, she is taken to Loredo's for trial and presumably execution. *Note: This also happens if you don't accept the quest at all.
 * If you go with her, you and the soldires are ambushed by the Soia'tael. She can't run away, so she is later taken to Loredo's for trial and execution.
 * If you cover her, she lures you (alone) into Scoia'tael ambush. She runs away, but you can find her later and decide whether she is to be taken to Loredo, to die or to run away. Consequences of these choices are unknown.

Bath with Triss

 * Decision: Go searching for the Rose of Remembrance alone or with Triss.
 * Consequences:
 * If you decide to go together, you will have an oportunity for sex in the ruined elven baths. To initiate the cut scene choose "You need a bath" dialogue option when it's given to you.
