The Battle of Kaer Morhen

1. Lifting Uma's Curse

At Kaer Morhen, the Witchers and sorceresses perform the brutal Trial of the Grasses ritual on Uma. It works: Uma is revealed as Avallac'h, and — more importantly — the ritual leads you straight to Ciri. The family is reunited at last.

2. Gathering Allies ("Brothers in Arms")

The Wild Hunt will come for Ciri, so you recruit help. Call in the favours you've earned: Triss, Yennefer, Keira Metz, Zoltan, Vernon Roche, Ermion, Hjalmar and more. The more allies you gather across the map, the more survive the battle — do their quests before starting.

  Defend the walls

  Set traps, hold the gates and cut down waves of Wild Hunt warriors and hounds. Keep Yrden and Northern Wind bombs ready — they're vulnerable while frozen.

  Boss: Caranthir & the loss

  The Wild Hunt navigator Caranthir and the general Imlerith break through. In the fighting, Vesemir is killed protecting Ciri — unleashing her Elder Blood powers in a burst of rage.

4. Chapter Complete

The Hunt retreats, but at a terrible cost. Grieving, the group holds Vesemir's pyre. Now you go on the offensive: hunt down Imlerith on Bald Mountain and end the Wild Hunt for good.
