How do I start the Triss quest in Witcher 3?
The Triss quest is a significant storyline in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which allows players to romance this powerful sorceress. To start the Triss quest, you need to complete a series of quests and make the right decisions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Meet Triss
Location: Triss can be found in her house in Novigrad, which is between Hierarch Square and Oxenfurt Gate. You’ll find a group of guards outside her building, and at some point, you’ll have to fight them to gain access.
Completing "A Matter of Life and Death"
The first step to starting the Triss quest is to complete the main quest "A Matter of Life and Death". This quest is given to you after completing Count Reuven’s Treasure. Once you’ve completed the quest, you’ll be able to visit Triss in her hideout.
Note: You can sleep with Triss during the quest, but this won’t affect your relationship with Yennefer.
Talking to Triss
After completing "A Matter of Life and Death," head to Triss’ hideout and talk to her. You’ll be greeted by the homeowners angry about Triss breaking the "No Men" rule. Go upstairs and talk to her to start the Triss quest.
Kissing Triss
You’ll be given the opportunity to kiss Triss during the quest. If you choose to do so, you won’t be able to romance Yennefer. If you choose not to kiss Triss, you’ll be able to continue your relationship with Yennefer.
Consequences: Sleeping with Triss will leave Yen heartbroken, and if Geralt tries to seduce both women, they’ll plot their rightful revenge together.
Choosing the Right Path
The decisions you make during the Triss quest will determine which path you’ll take in the story. You can choose to romance both Triss and Yennefer, but this won’t be possible if you kiss Triss during the quest.
Finding Triss in Blood and Wine
If you were able to successfully romance Triss during your playthrough, you’ll be able to find her in Blood and Wine, the final expansion of The Witcher 3. Similarly, if you were able to successfully romance Yennefer, you’ll be able to find her in Blood and Wine.
Conclusion: Starting the Triss quest in Witcher 3 requires completing the main quest "A Matter of Life and Death" and talking to Triss in her hideout. You’ll be given the opportunity to kiss her during the quest, and the consequences of your actions will determine which path you’ll take in the story.
