The Witcher 3 Comment Aller À Kaer Morhen

The Battle of Kaer Morhen is a primary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Important: Once you kickoff the council, the secondary quest Berengar'southward Blade will fail if not already completed.

Walkthrough [ ]

The quest starts immediately after The Isle of Mists, after y'all are greeted by Vesemir, Yennefer and Triss. When you lot terminate your conversations with them, the two sorceresses volition walk towards the keep, but post-obit them is entirely optional and you are free to roam until you join them for the council. All the same, fast travelling is disabled, and then you can only do some side quests in the Kaer Morhen valley and would have to do then on pes, as calling Roach is as well disabled.

On your manner to the quango, y'all can have short conversations with every ally except the sorceresses. Most of them are of course optional recruits, but here are all of them in a linear mode of appearance:

Hjalmar is seen showtime and will accept Folan and/or Vigi the Loon with him, if you saved them during The Lord of Undvik.
Zoltan Chivay is providing armorer services. He'due south only an Apprentice armorer though, so that'southward mostly useful but for repairs and selling junk equipment you may've picked upwards.
Ermion can be seen together with Vesemir, opening cracks in the ground.
Lambert is trying to repair the ballista in the middle courtyard and Eskel is meditating simply a flake further ahead.
Vernon Roche and Ves are training in the inner courtyard.
Letho, if live and recruited, can make his advent in two dissimilar means. If Roche and Ves are there, he'll appear while yous're talking to them, otherwise Lambert and Eskel will be in their spot every bit Letho walks around. In both cases, your other allies will be furious that you brought him, but it's just dialogue with no real consequences.
Ciri tin can too be talked to, next to the pendulum where you as well first see her at the kickoff of the game.
Keira Metz can be found just inside the keep and y'all can use The Eye of Nehaleni to attempt and dispell her illusionary dresser for a comic reaction. After talking to her, you tin can accept another, regular chat with her, assuasive to use her every bit an alchemist.

Annotation: If you practice open Keira's alchemist inventory, a bug may occur afterwards where the conversation options don't show. They are only invisible and y'all can use the pointer keys and so Enter to exit the conversation.

When you lot're ready, arroyo the main hall in the go along to begin the council.

The council [ ]

In one case you begin, after some introductory dialogue y'all'll take to make a couple of choices. First is how to use the laboratory:

Brand more potions and you'll later receive 50, Superior Swallow, Thunderbolt and a Lesser Perun runestone
Brand witcher's traps, in which example some of them will exist spread in the courtyard and explode as enemies thread on them

So how to use the workshop tools:

Patch up the walls, which volition shut Savolla'southward alienation and you lot'll face fewer enemies during the battle
Articulate the armory and yous'll after receive the Rose of Shaerrawed silver sword

Note: If you lot already have a strong argent sword, then you obviously don't need a new one, especially since the one you tin become here is of random level and may exist disappointing. Naturally, enemies will too fall easier and thus you can take the more assisting potions selection without much worry.

You will have the option to alter those decisions earlier you move on to the next topic, then everyone else explains what they bring into the battle earlier Vesemir summarizes everything, ending the meeting. (500) In the next cutscene, Lambert will give yous any previously chosen "rewards" and goes to set up your horses.

Important: This is now your concluding opportunity to set up for the battle and the next two quests also. Retrieve that you are locked into a string of quests and fifty-fifty after this battle will take very limited admission to everything. Take any repair kits and other equipment y'all'd like to employ from your storage - you won't be able to practise that for a long time after.

Talk to Ciri if you wish, and you can as well boodle some new crates with herbs, just more importantly ii barrels will accept gear up-made White Gull, allowing to make more than abracadabra products at the last minute. When yous're ready, head out to join Lambert and as you go out the keep, a cutscene starts and the boxing will begin. Note that none of the enemies ahead will give , so there'southward no signal in trying to subcontract them.

The hunting party [ ]

When information technology begins, yous'll be in the woods with Lambert and if he'southward present, Letho besides. Y'all have to close three portals through which the Wild Hunt soldiers are teleporting in, besides equally defeat the handful of enemies near each portal. If you paid attention y'all will know you have two options - throw Dimeritium bombs or cast the Yrden sign on them.

The best arroyo before engaging the enemies is to walk into the portals and bandage Yrden, saving the bombs for subsequently and preventing more enemies from teleporting in. It'southward not a big deal if you lot lose the invisibility before that, but don't walk also shut to the hounds if you want to avoid it happening. When all iii portals are closed y'all receive 200 and then follows a cutscene with Imlerith appearing and the side by side phase begins. (500)

Notation: If you close the concluding portal earlier starting to fight (particularly via Yrden and while nevertheless invisible), you might jump directly into the next quest stage and this fails the "Kill the While Hunt warriors" objective for that portal. This is a fashion to skip 1 fight, but it too gives a crimson marking in the objectives log.

Ciri helping Triss [ ]

Y'all will at present be playing Ciri and will accept to help Triss. Ciri has the selection to use a magic amulet in social club to straight Triss' fireballs, take care though as they will damage Ciri as well, and so blink away once yous use the amulet. Ciri tin can now also use her Charge attack, making her accuse through her enemies, dealing high damage and stunning them. The longer you lot concur the key the higher the damage she will deal. Follow the wall of the keep to accomplish Triss and after you impale all enemies around her you volition return to Geralt and his team.

Return to the keep [ ]

Subsequently the cutscenes, Geralt will be on Roach now and will have to return to the keep as presently every bit possible. The raining fireballs tin really injure you lot (despite Lambert's comments), but don't worry about them and just gallop. Later on reaching the go on, you lot will accept to shut the primary gate. If Ermion has been recruited, you volition accept gas deposits y'all tin ignite with Igni. Kill the firsthand group of enemies if you wish, merely don't bother with whatsoever more than as they will spawn infinitely from the gate. Climb the wall, reach the lever, and pull it to close the gate. If you stay and attract more enemies, they'll prevent you from climbing the shortcut and you'll have to run a long way around.

Saving Lambert (dependent) [ ]

Lambert will be surrounded by enemies and need help. If Keira was recruited, she will automatically arbitrate and save him, but otherwise you have to run to his assist. If that's the case, do not run the walls, but drop down every bit quickly as you can and kill the enemies earlier they can impale him.

Retreat [ ]

With Yennefer's spell waning and the White Frost advancing, Geralt has to retreat to the eye courtyard to go shelter. Run for it and don't try to loot corpses or the frost will impale y'all. After yous attain the first gate (500), kill all enemies you run into and movement for the 2nd gate, where unfortunately Eskel will exist in problem and unable to open it. While the result is beingness resolved, you take to assist Triss instead. Kill enough enemies virtually her to trigger the side by side cutscene. There is a sense of urgency here, but cypher happens if you take your time, so don't worry.

Helping Eskel [ ]

Eskel is fighting Caranthir and it's non going well, so Ciri jumps in to help. Eventually Caranthir retreats and you lot will exist playing as Ciri again. Aid Eskel impale the residual of the Wild Chase around and then run to open up the gate. Proceed killing everyone you lot run across if y'all must then utilise the cycle to open up the gate. It can be tricky to collaborate with, but don't panic - the objective marker isn't incorrect. When you do, you'll be back to Geralt.

Closing the Portals [ ]

This function is exceptionally easy with many allies around and there is no time limit or penalties if you tarry.

Like in the woods, y'all have to use Dimeritium bombs or Yrden to close the portals, but this time you lot can option upwardly more bombs from crates. You lot volition take the optional objective to selection upwards more Dimeritium bombs if you are all out. Notation: In older versions of the game, if you already created enhanced or superior versions of the bombs, then these basic ones would replace them and you'd have to remake them later.

When you're washed with the portals, Triss will asking assist and the battle will end once you become close to her.

All is lost... or is it? [ ]

The Wild Hunt breaches in, freezing near everyone including Geralt. Only Vesemir manages to protect Ciri for a curt spell, but he as well is eventually restrained past Imlerith.

Eredin will finally announced and convinces Ciri to give up. When all seems lost, Vesemir stabs Imlerith with a dagger in a desperate last effort, but only gets himself killed for information technology. This causes Ciri to give in to despair and allow her power run wild with a deadly scream that decimates the Wild Hunt. A stubborn Eredin is almost consumed by her outburst of power, but is literally dragged into retreat past Caranthir and all the major villains escape. Ciri's out of control powers now endanger her ain allies, merely fortunately Avallac'h appears and manages to neutralize her. (1,000 )

Geralt and the rest will thaw out and afterwards the pitiful reality hits him, he volition have a brusque talk with Ciri. You lot can pick whichever dialogue options you like and then the funeral for Vesemir and possibly Lambert begins. During information technology, Ciri will decide she has been running away for too long and takes Vesemir'due south wolf medalion before the quest ends and Blood on the Battlefield starts.

Journal entry [ ]

Geralt and Ciri had no choice but to teleport away from the Isle of Mists when the Wild Hunt threatened to attack. Since Eredin could trace where Ciri traveled to with her abilities, the duo did not so much flee the Hunt as buy a few precious minutes of time. Ciri took Geralt home, to Kaer Morhen, where the grouping of friends the witcher had gathered waited to defend Ciri to their last breath. They spared a few seconds for a tearful reunion - so began preparations to repel the Chase's attack.

The friends conferred and established a defense strategy. There was no time to lose. As presently as they finished, the weather changed and snow began to autumn. The Wild Hunt appeared higher up Kaer Morhen and its spectral warriors galloped out of the sky towards the fortress.

The defenders of Kaer Morhen did what they could to agree back their attackers, but the enemy'due south force was overwhelming. The Wild Chase had made it to the very walls of Kaer Morhen.

Warrior afterwards warrior fell to our heroes' blows, but others immediately took their place. The defenders fell back beyond the inner gates of the fortress - so began the terminal phase of the battle.

It was a dark hour for the defenders of Kaer Morhen. The generals of the Hunt had entered the fray personally. Vesemir had died by Imlerith's hand, and it seemed all of the witcher'south friends would presently share his fate. The defenders' lives were hanging by a thread, when all of a sudden Ciri's magic talent revealed its total force. In an uncontrolled outburst of rage she pummeled both allies and enemies alike with a boom of pure Power. The Hunt'south forces were nearly wiped out, leaving them no choice but to retreat. But our valiant defenders, exhausted, wounded, but nevertheless alive, remained on the field of battle.

The Battle of Kaer Morhen was over. Those who survived buried Vesemir, but had little fourth dimension for mourning. The danger had just been thwarted temporarily, and they needed to fix a new programme for saving Ciri.

Objectives [ ]

Bugs [ ]

Sometimes trying to buy from Keira will result in getting stuck and non being able to exit out of the store. However, the dialogue card is still accessible despite not being able to be seen. Apply the arrow keys and enter to exit the store.
Speaking to Ciri after having discussed your plans with the others will remove your weapons enhancement buff (if active).
While decision-making Ciri, at that place's a small-scale chance for y'all to trigger Geralt's pre-boxing conversations with other characters by interacting with them. Instead of hearing their usual responses to Ciri, Geralt'due south frozen default model will appear in her place until you leave the conversation.
While hunting in the woods, if y'all close the last portal before starting to fight (specially via Yrden and while still invisible), you might jump directly into the next quest phase and this fails the "Kill the While Hunt warriors" objective for that portal. This is a way to skip one fight, but it also gives a ruddy mark in the objectives log. Loading the auto-save for that betoken in fourth dimension appears to fix the issue.
Scripted passive dialogue lines during the battle may trigger for certain events and/or out of sync, even if y'all've made decisions to counter them. For instance, Eskel may say that enemies are coming in through Savolla's alienation even if was patched, or Vesemir crying for Lambert to "stay with us" after Keira has already saved him.
While fast travelling and calling Roach is disabled, her equus caballus icon may appear underground virtually the main entrance.

Notes [ ]

If you lot cull to patch up the walls, this does indeed alter the map, and after the quest y'all can no longer exit the fortress through Lambert's favorite shortcut.
Starting with this quest, a chest behind the column inside and to the due north of the go along entrance (behind Keira's dresser) will outset "replenishing" with new boodle. It is unclear exactly how ofttimes and upward until when, but it does so at least on irregular visits and likely until the main story completes. It persistently spawns new random diagrams, both crafting and alchemy formulae. Before this quest, the breast however glows with witcher senses when revisited after the initial loot, merely so turns empty when you lot're near it.
In early on versions of the game, it was possible to trigger and automatically have two more mission objectives during the wood segment of the boxing. This was due to deleted content where you could explore an Arachas' cavern mentioned by Lambert so wait for him to lure the monster out.
- While speculation, this was likely the cave where you have to go for Berengar'southward Blade, as there are still insectoid noises heard from a difficult to achieve identify above it where some endregas are, and more notably - there is too no other explainable reason why Berengar'southward quest would e'er fail if you've already talked to Vesemir nearly it.
