The last main quest in The Witcer 3: Wild Hunt.
Major Endings
There are three major possible endings with many variations within each ending.
Ending I
This conclusion of your Wild Hunt occurs if you made three of the previous five choices during your adventure:
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you chose to drink with Ciri instead of engaging in a snowball fight.
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you chose to take coin from Emhyr when visiting with Ciri, instead of refusing it.
During Act III: Main Quest: Final Preparations, you decided to talk to the Lodge of Sorceresses instead of letting Ciri go in alone.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you gave Ciri Lara Dorren’s necklace instead of letting her ransack Avallac’h’s laboratory.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you refused to let Ciri visit Skjall’s grave on Hindarsfjall.
Ending II
This conclusion of your Wild Hunt occurs if you made three of the previous five choices during your adventure:
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you chose to engage in a snowball fight instead of drinking with Ciri.
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you refused to take coin from Emhyr when visiting with Ciri, instead of taking it.
During Act III: Main Quest: Final Preparations, you decided to let Ciri talk to the Lodge of Sorceresses alone instead of going with her.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you allowed Ciri to ransack Avallac’h’s laboratory instead of giving her Lara Dorren’s necklace.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you made time to visit Skjall’s grave on Hindarsfjall, instead of refusing Ciri’s request.
If you made three or more negative choices, Ciri is dead, and Something Ends, Something Begins (I) occurs instead.
For this ending, the following must also occur:
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you agreed to visit Vizima and presented Ciri to Emhyr.
During Act II, you completed The Assassins’ Quests (Secondary Quest: An Eye for an Eye, Secondary Quest: A Deadly Plot, and Secondary Quest: Redania’s Most Wanted), and during Act III you completed Secondary Quest: Reason of State, killed King Radovid, and sided with Vernon Roche. Subsequently, the emperor and Nilfgaardian army won the war over the Redanians and King Radovid.
Ending III
This conclusion of your Wild Hunt occurs if you made two or more of the previous four choices during your adventure:
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you chose to engage in a snowball fight instead of drinking with Ciri.
During Act III: Main Quest: Final Preparations, you decided to let Ciri talk to the Lodge of Sorceresses alone instead of going with her.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you allowed Ciri to ransack Avallac’h’s laboratory instead of giving her Lara Dorren’s necklace.
During Act III: Main Quest: Battle Preparations, you made time to visit Skjall’s grave on Hindarsfjall, instead of refusing Ciri’s request.
If you made three or more negative choices, Ciri is dead, and Something Ends, Something Begins (I) occurs instead.
For this ending, the following must also occur:
During Act II: Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, you made sure not to visit Vizima and did not present Ciri to Emhyr.
Or, if the Nilfgaard lost the war, and either Radovid lives, or Dijsktra rules Redania.
There are three variations to this ending. The first two require the following: During Act II, you must have completed The Assassins’ Quests (Secondary Quest: An Eye for an Eye, Secondary Quest: A Deadly Plot, and Secondary Quest: Redania’s Most Wanted); and during Act III, you must have completed Secondary Quest: Reason of State. How this quest ended influences this ending:
If you killed King Radovid and sided with Vernon Roche and Thaler against Dijkstra, the Nilfgaardians rule over this land. The emperor moves his troops from Vizima Palace, leave this land, and free Temerian troops reclaim it peacefully. This is Ending III (I).
If you killed King Radovid and sided with Dijkstra against Vernon Roche and Thaler, Dijkstra rules over this land. He isn’t a violent despot, but his troops are seeking clues of conspiracy, driving spies and enemies of the crown away from the land. This is Ending III (II).
Did you ignore Secondary Quest: Reason of State? Then Radovid is still very much alive, and rules over this land. The emperor needs to flee from Vizima Palace and witch hunters are everywhere, violently oppressing the population. Uprisings are crushed, and an air of despondency hangs like poisonous cloud. This is Ending III (III).
