Objective: Kill Imlerith, defeat Eredin, and stop the White Frost.
Crucial: Small choices with Ciri now decide which of three endings you get.
1. Bald Mountain
Playing as both Geralt and Ciri, you assault the Crones' sabbath on Bald Mountain and confront the Wild Hunt general Imlerith. Use Yrden and Aard to break his shield, and dodge his mace slams. Ciri avenges the orphans and Vesemir here.
2. The Final Preparations
Turn the elven sage Ge'els against Eredin ("Through Time and Space" with Avallac'h), then rally the fleet at Undvik for "The Final Age" (Tedd Deireadh). This is the last stretch — spend your best gear, potions and decoctions.
3. Boss: Eredin & the White Frost
- 1
Eredin, King of the Wild Hunt
A pure sword duel. Bait his big overhead and teleport strikes, dodge (don't roll) his combos, and counter with fast attacks. Quen between exchanges. He leaves after-images — hit the real one.
- 2
The White Frost
With Eredin dead, only Ciri can enter the realm of the White Frost to end the apocalypse. Geralt can only wait — and hope.
4. The Three Endings
Ciri's fate hinges on a handful of small moments across the last act — not a single big choice. Aim to be supportive and let Ciri be her own person:
Ciri the Witcher (best)
Ciri lives and walks the Path. Get it by mostly making 3 of these 5 supportive choices: let her smash Avallac'h's lab, take her to the Emperor, visit Skjall's grave with her, comfort (don't scold) her when she's upset, and go with her to face the Lodge.
Ciri the Empress
Ciri lives and takes the Nilfgaardian throne — the same supportive choices plus taking her to see Emperor Emhyr earlier.
Ciri Dies (bad)
Too many discouraging or dismissive choices leave Ciri broken, and she does not return from the White Frost. Avoid scolding her or undermining her agency.
See the full choice list in our Endings Guide. And when you're ready, the expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine await.
