Yennefer of Vengerberg has always been one of the most interesting characters in theWitcherfranchise.
She’s compelling because of how often she rides the line between hero and villain.
The video game adaptation of the character nailed this aspect of her personality.
In this list, we’ve put her worst actions in the game together with her most heroic ones.
After Geralt got there, Vesemir recounted the events of Yen’s arrival.
It was a move that potentially saved both her and Geralt’s lives.
While the moment was funny, it was a cruel move by the Sorceress.
She came up with the idea of asking the few who remained from the Lodge of Sorceress to help.
One of those was Margarita Laux-Antille, who was being held at a prison in Oxenfurt named Deireadh.
Yennefer acquired the help of Geralt to free her.
However, that didn’t make it entirely forgivable that she lent her aid to such an evil ruler.
Emhyr might not have been as bad as Radovid, yet his armies still slaughtered many people.
Sharing the cell with her was Sile De Tansarville (if she survived the second game).
Unfortunately, Sile wasn’t well enough to escape due to the punishment she’d taken.
If the Witcher refused to put her out of her misery, then Yen did it instead.
Killing someone isn’t normally considered heroic, yet Yennefer saved Sile from a lot more pain.
4Worst: Destroyed Freya’s Garden
Necromancy is dangerous in theWitcherUniverse.
Yet, Yennefer still utilized it to reanimate the corpse of Skjall to question him.
The act provided useful information in the search for Ciri.
Although, it came at the cost of Freya’s garden: which was destroyed in the process.
Local priestesses were understandably furious at the loss of their sacred garden.
Eventually, they got to a magic barricade surrounding the tower where Avallac’h and Ciri were.
Yennefer then tore a hole through the barricade so Geralt could go on ahead.
Nevertheless, it was still a great show of heroics by Yennefer, even if it was unnecessary.
While in Skellige, the Sorceress acquired Geralt’s help in stealing the mask of Uroboros.
The mask allowed the user to see into the past.
Luckily Skellige survived, but Yen’s actions put everyone living there at risk.
