How to save Baron?

[Broken Devil]

Just started the masterpiece again 3rd time still not able to find the way how to save Baron, is there truly a way? if yes then what choices i should take?

[Broken Devil]

i didn`t even remember that last two times i spared that evil tree, which turned out to become huge mistake.
Man thnx for helping out and also explaining it in details to me.

Theres another option, all together:
1) kill tree spirit -> children dies, Anna+Baron lives, villager lives
2) free tree spirit before talking the first time to the crones -> children, Anna, Baron save, villager dies
3) free tree spirit after talking the first time to the crones -> children save but Anna, Baron dies, villager dies

I think the first one is more better, then rest of the options.
Im eager to see both of them alive this time.
Thnx Refas for giving more info

perrrhaps nottt frnd!!!

if u see video released by CD Projekt Red celebrating 10th anniversary of Witcher series, u can see in the video that Baron is alive, who can also be dead according to ur choices another one is Keira Metz she is in the video her death is also optional means she is alive.
Only Vesemir was missing, coz he is dead in the game and his death isnt optional so it means presence and absence in the video is the true fate of characters.
So Baron needs to live according to it.

Meh, it's a marketing video. Nothing in the games is canon. Only the books are canon.

The games have their own canon, seperate from the books.

When it comes to any lore, there can only be one canon. The games have their own stories. That's very different from what's canon.

The games have their own canon, Brad. The author's official cannon for his works is seperate from this. But by creating their own stories and 'lore' borrowed or not, CDPR has created their own canon for the games - - that is, an official way the events and stories within the game play out.
You cannot tell a story that spans 3 games without it's own canon. The intent of the author(s) is a part of the story whether Brad from New Jersey likes it or not.

Its not the case with CD Projekt Red.

Yes, it is THEIR canon but it is not the officially accepted canon. That's the point you are missing. Fans can create their own fiction regarding their favorite characters from games, TV shows and movies and to THEM, what they create is canon. But it means nothing officially.

It amuses me that you portray this as though there is some high court sitting in arbitration regarding what is canon and what isn't. I picture some guy in a judges wig with a waifu body pillow of Triss and an oversized cartoon gavel.

For what it's worth though Sapkowski seems to agree. I remember with him saying something to the effect of. "I think CDPR did a wonderful job, but that's not my Geralt".

After all is the author right to say what he considers part of his stories and what not...but since you can enjoy the stories whether they are canon or not, fanfic or original author's work. Who gives a damn about it?

More than just the one villager dies. He's only the ealdorman, leader. The entire village would be driven mad by the free spirit and kill each other.

Don't feel too badly for them though. They've had a pact with the Crones for years to provide them with children in exchange for being spared from the plague. That they've lately been offering up war orphans is still nothing to be dismissed lightly.

Don't forget Gretka, the little girl Ciri finds in the woods, was taken to the Trail of Treats (which leads to the orphanage in Crookback Bog, by her own father who claimed they didn't have enough food so he offered her up to the Crones to spare himself and his wife.

In my opinion, they deserved to die.

Well said.

Clearly there should've been two additional options of where you can ask the Elven Crossdresser or a doppler to become the Baron's new waifu.

How in the hell is "dead children" your best option? Thats morally messed up. The kids are victims, its not their fault their parents failed them. You should save them, they are helpless otherwise and you can find a home for them. I just cant even beelive you would say that was the best option.

Option 2 is clearly better morally.
