I finished the ciri empress ending and i need help

[rice]

So in the ending cutscene we saw ciri give her weapon to geralt, but then what happened to the sword? can we use it? because i dont see it in my inventory

It'll never be appear in your inventory. Either the devs favoured the witcher ending over the other two and disregarded them, or its simply an oversight. In all fairness, it could be the latter, given dialogues do change slightly depending on the ending.

you can cause a 'bug' in the game where you can get the Zireael sword... but it's not reliable and requires a hell of a lot of time during the quest where Ciri is running away from Whoreson Junior's men... you have to get onto rooftops and work your way through the city back to the pub, and drop the sword in your chest there where Zoltan is... then make your way back, and continue on the quest and finish it without the sword...

honestly, not worth the hassle lol

you can spawn it with the console command additem('Zireael Sword') and additem('q505 crafted sword')... one of those is for her standard game sword (the one you're talking about), the other is for a sword from another ending that i won't spoil for you in case you're going to replay... but if you really want it though, that's your option

Is that other sword actually added to your inventory or does it only ever appear in the cutscene? If its the latter, that item likely doesn't exist in gameplay, does it?

the other sword is only for the cutscene at the end, and i 'think' worn by Ciri in scenes in the Blood and Wine expansion later on... but i'd have to go back and replay that to double check the details there

because of the way the game is designed, ALL the items used in cutscenes are modelled and created for the full game... so like both Ciri's swords have item codes to be 'spawned' in game, you can also create Ciri's unique armour if you really want, and other things like that.

Chances are, the second Ciri sword is just modelled seperately, and then coded to use the same stats and details as the original sword in game... but again, i'd have to go back and spawn them both to check anything for certain.
