Can You Take Ciri to Emhyr and Still Get the Witcher Ending?

In the highly acclaimed game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, players are given the option to escort Ciri to Emhyr, the Emperor of Nilfgaard. But, what happens if you choose to take Ciri to Emhyr and still want to achieve the Witcher ending? Is it possible to have it both ways? In this article, we’ll dive into the intricacies of the game’s story and explore the answer to this question.

The Requirements for the Witcher Ending

Before we dive into the specifics of taking Ciri to Emhyr, let’s first examine the requirements for achieving the Witcher ending. According to various sources, including game developers and players, the Witcher ending can be achieved by:

• Killing Radovid: You must kill the King of Northern Realms, Radovid, during the side quest "A Deadly Plot".
• Not siding with Roche and Co.: In the mission "Reason of State", you must choose not to side with Roche and Co.
• Nilfgaard winning the war: Nilfgaard must emerge victorious in the war.

Taking Ciri to Emhyr

Now that we’ve established the requirements for the Witcher ending, let’s focus on taking Ciri to Emhyr. You can take Ciri to Emhyr by following these steps:

• Choose the correct dialogue options: During the conversation with Ciri, choose the dialogue options that lead her to Nilfgaard.
• Accept the reward: After arriving at Nilfgaard, accept the reward offered by Emhyr, the Emperor.

The Impact of Taking Ciri to Emhyr

Now that we’ve taken Ciri to Emhyr, what happens next? According to various sources, including game developers and players, taking Ciri to Emhyr will have the following consequences:

• Ciri becomes an Empress: Ciri will become the Empress of Nilfgaard, and her fate will be sealed.
• Witcher ending cannot be achieved: Unfortunately, taking Ciri to Emhyr will prevent you from achieving the Witcher ending, as the conditions for the Witcher ending (killing Radovid and not siding with Roche and Co.) will no longer be met.

Consequences of Not Meeting the Witcher Ending Requirements

If you choose to take Ciri to Emhyr and don’t meet the requirements for the Witcher ending, you’ll be left with the following consequences:

• Alternate ending: You’ll achieve an alternate ending, where Ciri becomes the Empress of Nilfgaard.
• Different fate for Ciri: Ciri’s fate will be sealed, and she’ll no longer have the opportunity to become a Witcher.

Conclusion

In conclusion, taking Ciri to Emhyr and still achieving the Witcher ending is not possible. The conditions for the Witcher ending require killing Radovid and not siding with Roche and Co., which cannot be met if Ciri becomes the Empress of Nilfgaard. However, if you choose to take Ciri to Emhyr, you’ll achieve an alternate ending, where Ciri becomes the Empress of Nilfgaard.
