Witcher Decision Guide

This guide will help you with the decisions you have to make during the game,
and how they impact on the further story.

Choice 1: Kaer Morhen

Vesemir or Triss

------------------------
Decision: Fight the Frightener or Save the Laboratory
Consequences:
If you fight the frightener with Vesemir, he will give you a cool red meteorite ore when talking with him later. Near the end of Chapter I at the bridge, you will face a Salamandra with a mutant dog, and the cutscene that plays will be NEGATIVE about your choice here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saving the lab with Triss (my queen) will allow you to obtain a sapphire from Savolla's corpse. At the bridge in Chapter I, you will face the Salamandra only, no mutant dog, and the cutscene will be generally POSITIVE about your decision here

Choices 2:Outskirts of Vizima

The Escort

Decision: Bring Vesna or not
Consequences:
If you escort her, you get the option to rendezvous with her at the mill at night.
If you do not help her, the bandits kill her. (Sigma)

Racist encounter

Decision: Help Zoltan
Consequences:
If you do not help, you do not get any xp.
If you do, you get xp and gratitude from Zoltan.

Nonhumans

Decision: Give weapons to Scoia'tael (during Haren Brogg's quest)
Consequences:
If you give the arms to the Scoia'tael, they will use those weapons to kill Coleman in Chapter II. This happens as soon as you go to The Hairy Bear Inn after speaking with the detective. (So if you intend to complete The Rat Quest, go to the inn before speaking with Raymond, which can be a bit tricky to avoid.)

If you do not give the weapons to the Scoia'tael, Golan Vivaldi will be sent to jail when you go to see him in Chapter II regarding the two books (name 10 books) needed for the quest A Mysterious Tower. However, you can bail him out for 200 Items Oren, then visit him at his home to obtain the books. The books cost 400 Items Oren otherwise.
Smoking the Scoia'tael allows you to ask Haren Brogg about Hoog, Zoltan's Scoia'tael friend whom the dwarf had mentioned he was supposed to meet in the Outskirts, but you do not get any information out of it. One of the Scoia'tael also has four Beggartick blossoms on him.

Destiny

Decision: 1v1 Leo
Consequences:
If you fight Leo, you can get a red meteorite ore off him.
Two out of the three conversation paths lead to Leo's ghost appearing.

Lesser Evil

Decision: Save Abigail (zzzzzzz) or Side with Reverend, Odo and Haren
Consequences:
If you save Abigail, she fights with you against the Beast. If she lives, you will meet her again in Chapter IV and she will also help you fight in the Epilogue.

If you do not save her, she dies like a dog and you face the Beast with a bunch of villagers. But having sided with them, you will not have to fight them after the Beast encounter. Also, a generic healer will be in the healer's hut (BORIIIING) in Chapter IV and you will have to fight Abigail in the Epilogue.
Your choice in this decision alters the way in which The Heat of the Day quest in Chapter IV plays out as well because this decision impacts whether you are someone who stays out of other people's business or tries to help others by getting involved.

Choices 3:Temple Quarter of Vizima

Loner or not

Decision: Fight with Siegfried or alone in the sewers
Consequences:
Choosing to join forces with Siegfried will allow you into the dike with the small of trouble and the Order armourer will be willing to deal with you. There will be a generic guard at St. Lebioda's Hospital, and he will let you enter only if you have the City Guard signet ring or with a bribe of 30 Items Oren.

Choosing to kill the cockatrice alone (Sigma) will let you walk into the St. Lebioda's Hospital with the almost no trouble. However, the Order armourer will not deal with you but the Dwarven blacksmith will if you helped the Scoia'tael. The guards at the gate to dike will let you enter only if you have the City Guard signet ring or with a one time bribe of 60 Items Oren.

Coleman

Decision: Visit the detective right away or start the inquiry on your own.
Consequences: This is only relevant if you let the Scoia'tael take the supplies in Strangers in the Night. Coleman dies immediately after Geralt visits Raymond, which would prevent the player from starting The Rat quest (it is a minor side quest with zero plot impact).
If you go to the Hairy Bear Inn before Raymond's house, you will find Coleman there still alive and
if you follow through to complete The Rat quest before visiting Raymond you receive 600 orens and 2500 XP and Coleman is a source of fisstech.
Putting off talking to Raymond for too long messes up quite a few more important quests...

The Cannibal

Decision: Kill or spare Gramps for being the cannibal.
Consequences:
If you decide to kill Gramps you'll have to fight him and Echinops outside his house, but you'll get more XP (FIGHT THE OLD MAN YOU WONT M8)

If you spare the old man you will get less XP, Azoth and Formula for Hanged Man's Venom.
Imagine sparing the old man

Path

Decision: Side with the Scoia'tael or the Order, or remain neutral (refuse both).
Consequences:
Before Force Recon your actions regarding Haren Brogg's crates in Chapter I may cause the dwarves (ewwww dwarves) not to deal with you.
After Force Recon, whomever you choose, the other side is not too friendly with you back in town.
If you choose the Scoia'tael, the order merchant/armourer will not interact with you.

If you remain neutral (by not starting Force Recon) — your relationship with both the order merchant/armourer and the Scoia'tael blacksmith will effectively be reset and you will be able to interact with both of them until you progress farther into the story.
Siegfried seems unaffected either way.

Choices 4:Trade Quarter of Vizima

Guardian

Decision: Shani or Triss
Consequences:
Seems to affect your romance subplot and the type of ending you may get. Whomever you do not choose, that person's second sex card will not be available to you.
Whomever you do not choose will still be angry with you in Chapter V, but they will still help you/talk to you. (Triss is the only real waifu)

Also, if you dip Alvin with Triss, in Chapter IV, Alvin will go to the ruins and you meet the Gambling Ghost.
If you leave him with Shani, he goes to the riverbank and gets a dog. WOOF
Whomever you choose will fight alongside you in the Epilogue.

Thaler

Decision: Thaler, live or die?
Consequences: If Geralt saves him, in their next conversation he exposes the royal edicts as fakes, and he will be in the Royal Castle in Chapter V.

Blue Eyes

Decision: Side with vampiresses, Patrick or remain neutral. (always choose vamp in any game)
Consequences:
If you side with vampiresses, you'll have to kill Patrick and his knights. Blue-eyes lass will be grateful and stays in House of the Queen of the Night.

If you side with the Patrick and, you'll have to kill all vampiresses and Blue-eyes lass will hate you.

If you had sex with vampiresses Patrick and his knights will show up to help. Either way he will refuse to pay you.

If you had sex with vampiresses (Chad) and then decide to remain neutral (BIGGER CHAD), both parties will attack you.

Werewolf

Decision: Werewolf (kill, save/cure, save/not cure)
Consequences:
If you spare the werewolf and cure him, when you enter The New Narakort to meet with Triss and Leuvaarden, Vincent will enter with a group of guards to fight the Salamandra with you.
If you help Vincent, the novice nun will know about it in the Epilogue and praise you.
If you spare the werewolf but do not cure him, Vincent will fight with you as a werewolf along with some guards.
If you spare the werewolf and then proceed to complete the Beauty and the Beast quest, you get an additional 6000 XP (in total).
If you kill the werewolf you get 1500 XP and Werewolf Fur, allowing you to create the Werewolf's Wrath potion and unlock the Predator ability; however, there is no possibility of completing the Beauty and the Beast quest.
If you kill the werewolf, when you enter the inn, you are arrested for Vincent's murder and have to fight a bunch of City Guards and a single Salamandra informer.
Killing Vincent will also replace him with another guard captain at the dike in Chapter V who will detain Dandelion, though this does not actually have an effect on anything.
If you kill him, Carmen will be at the safe house as well and not very happy about the turn of events.

Bank Robbery

Decision: Side with the Scoia'tael or Order at the Bank?
Consequences:
If you side with Yaevinn, the Scoia'tael will fight with you during the battle with Azar Javed and the Professor.

If you side with the Siegfried (BORING), the Order will fight with you during the battle.
Opposing a faction during Gold Rush will bar access to their associated path in Chapter IV ( if you help Yaevinn escape the bank during Gold Rush, you may only choose the Scoia'tael or neutral paths in Chapter IV; also, helping the Order during Gold Rush will only permit choosing the Order or neutral paths in Chapter IV). (NEUTRAL PATH CHAD)

Choice 5:Lakeside (WE UP BOIS)

Conflict

Decision: Side with Village, Vodyanoi or Compromise?
Consequences:
If you side with the village, you get a large diamond (WE BALL) from Julian as a BIG D REWARD.
If you side with the Vodyanoi, the Friendly vodyan priest will reward you with a Ceremonial sword (boring) of Deithwen (which you can get from Scoia'tael remains just as easily in Chapter V, even if you are allied with them, as there is plenty of 1v1ing in the streets).
If you achieve a compromise, you receive the sword, Aerondight from the Lady of the Lake.

Forgiveness

Decision: Kill Berengar or spare his life?
Consequences:
If you kill him (CHAD), you get Berengar's medallion, Dagon Sap (Scroll), The Book of the Full Moon (formula for Shrike and Vampire oil) and 866 orens.
If you do not kill him, you get Dagon Sap (Scroll) and The Book of the Full Moon (formula for Shrike and Vampire oil). He also shows up to help fight Azar Javed (although he is a very weak fighter).
IMAGINE BEING WEAK LMAO

Path (HUGE BIG AND HUGE CHOICE)

Decision: Side with the Order, the Scoia'tael or remain neutral
Consequences:

Order path: The Scoia'tael will be enemies in Chapter V, you will be asked to kill more (Suprise) Scoia'tael than White Rayla, to make the armor, you will need to see the Order Armorer and get Saint Gregory's litany. Siegfried will be big mad and fight with you through Vizima in the epilogue. You will have to fight the ghost of Yaevinn (BOOOO!) in the epilogue. Sex (WHATS THAT) card available is White Rayla's. You will also be able to receive the Raven's Armor of the Order in Chapter V which gives a huge Vitality bonus

Scoia'tael path: The Order will be the enemies in Chapter V, you will be asked to escort some refugees (ICE SIMULATIOR) to the hospital and to make the armor, you will need to see the Dwarven Armorer and get the Bifunctional fiber and alloy recirculator. Yaevinn will fight with you through Vizima in the epilogue. You will have to fight the ghost of Siegfried in the epilogue. Sex card available is Toruviel's. You will also be able to receive the Raven's Armor of the Elves in Chapter V which gives an Endurance bonus which is great for many things...... wink wink

Witcher / neutral path: Both the Order and the Scoia'tael will be the enemies in Chapter V, you will be asked to escort some nurses to the hospital and to make the armor, you will need to see Kalkstein and get Agnes of Glanville's Magic Formula. Triss (MY WIFE) will fight with you through Vizima in the epilogue. You will face both Siegfried and Yaevinn and depending on your answers you will fight them or part in relative peace; in the Ice Plains, you have to fight their ghosts. Sex card available is for two nurses (twosome? pog?). You will also be able to receive the Raven's Armor in Chapter V which gives modest bonuses to Vitality...... :)

MY WIFE

Choice 6:Old Vizima

Striga

Decision: Kill or save Princess Adda
Consequences:

If you save her, you will get the steel sword, D'yaebl and she will fight with you in the epilogue as the Striga.

imo i always save the princess in any game.....help me

If you kill her, you will be able to make a Striga's Urge potion using her heart and Vincent Meis will fight with you in the epilogue as a Werewolf, unless you killed him, then Count de Wett will fight with you.

Epilogue

King of the Wild Hunt

Decision: Let the King of the Wild Hunt have Jacques soul or not.
Consequences:
If you refuse, by answering "This is between him and me", then you will fight the King of the Wild Hunt who summons some wraiths for backup (what a ♥♥♥♥♥). You can collect the unique ingredient for wild hunt vapors from its remains, but only providing you kill him far enough from De Aldersberg.

If you accept, then he does not fight you (meaning less experience) and he tells you that you knew Jacques under another name, but never specifies what name that was.

And that's it, folks. Thanks for reading this guide and such, and also thanks for playing such an old game as this since people always overlook old games, even though they can be as much fun as newer games. Let's hope the remake of this game is as good or better than the original.

Feel free to award or like as that helps me create more guides <3
