This quest can take a left turn very quickly, leaving the player feeling both guilty and unsatisfied.

Harald

Harald is an elder of Faylund, calling the shots and guiding the town’s warriors.

Detlaff

Beingan incredibly strong vampire, it might be shocking that his end is a sad one.

Funeral Pyre and Vampire

She had deceived him and been behind some of his darkest moments, sending him into a rage spiral.

Jorund

Highly respected among the locals and most important of all, willing to have a drink with Geralt.

Unfortunately, this outcome doesunlock multiple queststhat are worth the tears.

Geralt standing over a corpse

Just another victim of collateral damage that turns up when Ciri and Geralt are around.

Vesemir

Unfortunately, this death is unavoidable, probably the one most players would choose to save.

This makes it all the more heartbreaking when Geralt sees Ciri hunched over his lifeless body.
