I've had alot of worse endings than this. Usually it ends with Geralt dying after jumping down a 2 meter ledge when taking a shortcut.
Haha. Me too 😝😂
Thought they patched that lol
@@juntakyle i started the witcher 2 weeks ago and i can tell you 3 meters geralt still die
Press jump again to roll
That's what he gets for hating portals
Several months later geralt wakes up from dead because he suddenly remembers the 20 buck dlc he bought from Toussaint
Yeah how does that work, I think doesn't actually die in this ending.
If you got this ending you continue to play with geralt without the main story, right ?
@@mitskisson As I know you can continue to play after any ending and do other side quests
Charaykee Shilla The end after the main quest plays in a limbo right before the event of the final battle so u get somewhat into a flashback storywise and end up in a sandbox where u can play your dlc and sidequests

What's worse is Geralt is level 31 and those drowners and ghouls are like level 5-6. Meaning he had to suffer before dying from those 11 damage attacks.
Actually if witchers are dealt great pain when not in combat with no adrenalin or sth like that they die pretty fast due to their mutated neurological system (i know its just a joke)

@@robyfaraa4105 what about kiyan
I thought I got a bad ending when Gerald told the Emperor that Ciri was dead. Then I went to the inn in White Orchard.
Same. Actually took a small break to see where I went wrong, realized I should have barely gotten the good ending and went back.
ah, another profile picture of culture I see
I heard there was a good, best, and bad ending. I unironically thought I got 'good' ending because I did most things 'right' but got the Baron killed, so the world would be saved but Ciri would die. When Geralt got the Sword I genuinely thought Ciri was dead. All the way until I walked into that door, then I saw her sitting there and realized I actually got best ending and I was hyped.
Steve Bourque I killed Keira, but the way she died was so bullshit. She just reacted out of nowhere and started fighting me.
I was almost in tears thinking that she died, when I saw her in the inn I bawled
Now imagine getting this ending the first time you play, you'll end up being traumatized for a week, like me.
Sure
Get your cards
i only play with coin tho
I sure as hell am i just finished it
@@ThePeteMeister420 I know right!
"Did you kill the last crone?" "Yes" "What did it cost? "Everything"

I am considering replaying and get the wrong decisions with Ciri, just to kill that dammed Crone!

Whose medallion was that? I thought Ciri had a cat medallion
@@SubOrYoureGay I’m pretty sure it’s Vesemir’s medallion
And then Geralt drinks a drowner pheromones potion and all the creatures give gim a big hug
Geralt: *crying* Drowners: don't worry, i gotchu fam
That still leaves the ghouls and maybe the occasional fiend.
@@TnD_BigJax Pretty sure there's a concoction for that, too. Or maybe the Drowners would help him out. Can't leave a bro to die while crying.
😂😂 yes please
I thought Ciri had died in mine, but then she appeared in a tavern and became a witcher :D
Yeah same for me, I was so mas and upset. And I got so relieved when I saw Ciri.
+john marston *Mad
Same here. Best possible ending in my eyes. I was really glad it was on my first playthrough. :D
I had the same ending, although it pissed me off that Radovid won the war... After finishing the game left me with so many unaswered questions.
Same :D
Everyone's talking about how heartbroken Geralt was but I found it really badass that Geralt and a werewolf fought together.
true
Geralt and Beren drinking together in should be a game on its own... they obviously clicked with each other...
Theres a chapter in the books where you find out he fake killed a werewolf and helped him escape to another town where he met his wife who was also a werewolf and they had kids, that entire family is devoted to him, especially papa werewolf.
@@danterik9781 Yep, the side book with the story in Keren if I'm right?
@@danterik9781 Is that the same werewolf who helps Geralt into a cave so he can hunt down and kill the serial killer who summoned demons?
Geralt was so sad that drowners went to comfort him.
@@xLetalis I've an alternative theory. I highly doubt that geralt let himself die here, he's probably unplayable since he very clearly lacked a will to live and probably chose to not care about touissaint or olgierd's problems. I'd like to hope he stayed with tried or yennefer but that's unlikely
@@xLetalis LMAO that sticker
or just let him drown in sorrow

@@TheStraightestWhitest cant we just be together ? me as geralt asks
Geralt: I have nothing to keep living for. Triss / Yennefer: Am I a joke to you?
May be he didn't romance them ;]
Triss left for the UK and married AzBats from HeelvsBabyface.
Maybe he double-timed them and turned both off.
@@Avenus112 even if you romanced one, it won't change anything.
Honestly the problem with this ending tho. It's pure but not completely realistic Geralt would kill himself. Not with Yen or Triss pushing him to live
[Crone dies] ... Game: Do you want the good news first or the bad news? Player: I'll take the good news first. Game: You hit level 31 and you have two ability points to spend! Player: That's great! What's the bad news? Game: Um ...
🤣
Game: Bad news is that the cutscen kills him and you lose everything.
At my first play. Baron died his wife died Ciri died Gerald died Keira Metz died İts like everybody died
Same for me but in my ending radovid won the war
The fact that her last thoughts are of Geralt hurting her feelings is so impossibly sad. It's worse than the death itself. She died to save a world she felt unloved in, thinking everyone in her life just used her for power and coin
Im so glad I did what I would of done. Never even came close to this end.
Muh heart Muh soul Stahp.
@@JoseMora-wc5zz I thought I got a bad ending at first, then realized I got one that seemed to fit me perfectly, Was the ending that Geralt teachers Ciri on the road and then they part ways eventually, don't know if it's the best, but it's definitely the best for me.
@@alexfernandez882 that's the ending I got and it's the best for me. I've watched the other endings and, while some aren't entirely bad, they just don't fit me specifically. And as silly as this may sound, when I play RPGs I put myself in my characters position and make the decisions I believe I'd make If I were in that situation.
@@RetrogamingCostello13342 yeah, you're right, for example I really liked the character of Roche and killed Djikstra for him, what you are saying is right... but anyone who got this ending following that should maybe see a psychiatrist

Wait gerald let's them? Take his life?
@@AL-ri6bk Geralt is depressed when ciri died, so i guess so
The release of Blood and Wine makes this ending the only one we can rule out as non-canon (if we assume Geralt actually let himself get killed by ghouls and nekkers, which I don't). But that's the beauty of TW3. Every one of us has their own Geralt. My Geralt is chilling with his lovely Yenn at Corvo Bianco, drinking the finest wine Touissant has to offer, while their daughter enjoys her life on The Path.
Berem, the most sympathetic and clever werewolf ever, giving Geralt legit recommendation
Nah Vincent already won that prize and even found himself somebody who loved him enough to cure his lycanthrope.
That anger shout at 11:29 straight killed me. Geralt feels so sad and angry, they did a very masterpiece with him in this ending
indeed :(
The yell doesn't really sound like him tbh
@@IntensePeppersbecause you really haven't seen Geralt with this much emotion before in the game. He was always emotionless because of being a witcher
People say they replay witcher 3 to try out different endings..I honestly go for the same goddamn path everytime because the others are just too painful. Edit: wow wtf lol 4.6k likes lmao
Literally me, I just can't do the other endings besides the one I like, hell I can't even change the love interest in playtroughs, this proves the TONS of emotional weight this game has
Same
The only main ending I want is the "Ciri becomes a witcher" ending. All the minor endings I can live with (except I prefer to get the Triss romance ending for... reasons)
In my first playthough, she became the Empress and I ended up with Triss. After reading the books, had to play it again to make Geralt end up with Yen, although I do not like her, Geralt does. And so became Ciri a Witcher this time.
Me too.
"And You Are afraid...You Feel Fear." "You Lie, I don't Feel a Thing Anymore."
And that was Geralt's lie
Guess you can’t even type properly
I BECOME SO NUMB
Should have had the edgy 90’s elf haircut for this line 🤣 maximum edge lord Geralt of Cry Me a Rivia
And then he feels more emotion in the next 5 minutes than he felt in the entire game.
Imagine unintentionally getting this ending... FeelsBadMan Damn. It's enough to break your heart.
Imagine intentionally getting it. Damn psychopaths.

@@Senatioshappened to me, and I had one of the saddest moments in my gaming life, kaer mother felt so alone, so empty..
My first ending I got
Yeah, I deleted the game after that🤣
Geralt was just meditating to replenish his potions. Those drowners and ghouls woulda died quick once he busted a Whirl inside that hut.
He actually called her 'his daughter" in this one. *lie on the ground, try not to cry, cry a lot*
And when Ciri is running from the wild hunt, the little girl says that not even his dad would be capable of doing what she have done, in the part that she fought the wolves. And she straight answer: "My father could do much more".
Ahhhhh this one makes me wanna cry
He should have said that when she was alive, maybe he wouldn’t be in this mess.
Gabriel Martins But does she mean Geralt or Emyhr? Thats the question! Haha!
@@XRemARx Emyhr would piss his pants in front of a wolf.
of course the ending i get after 50+ hours is the shittiest, saddest ending ever. OF FUCKING COURSE
The blame is on you, mate. The endings is based on your own choices.
you shouldn't have been a dick to Ciri then
zeiitgeist i wasn't. i really like Ciri so i was always nice to her.
Haruhara Haruko Guess you think you were being nice to her but she probably didn't feel that way if you got this ending.
+zeiitgeist to be fair, some of the consequences of the dialogue choices were really unforeseeable.
The ending with ciri is such a strong analogy to parenthood. To love your children but not to the point you imprison them. As Vesemir told ciri in his last moment, "Now fly!" Just like a little bird finally taking flight from its parents' nest. Zireael... Swallow.... 🕊️
good point
Yep, you should always be a good parent! Make your child feel like grown ups! ESPECIALLY by snowball fighting them
It’s a good analogy but the decisions that make the ending happen are WAY to easy to make unintentionally.
The saddest but best written ending IMO
I may agree with that statement ;]
I actually feel sorry for anyone who got this ending, it literally must of ruined the game for you... In a good way...emotionally
It did... Just today :')
Bandito Soul I feel you
I didn’t know there was other endings till today and when I did, I felt depressed knowing that I got the worst ending because in the end you’re The One Who made the choices
How do I avoid this ending?
@@rockluee37 Ciri 's flashbacks were the key points. First - after the Kaer Morhen battle, don't invite her to drink, instead select to play snowball fight. Then don't take her to/or take her to Emhyr but choose not to take coins ( this will lead she determine to become a Witcher/Empress ). Third is let her speak alone with 2 Sorceresses. Fourth is "Go for it" option in Avallach's labaratory and last - visit Skjall's grave with her. These are all the positive points Ciri has throughout the Game, she will survive and later became an Empress/Witcher. The point is letting Ciri decide for herself, don't be overprotective or make awkward choices, that leads to negative marks to Ciri's fate.
"I've no strenght to hunt humans." *runs faster than ever 3 minutes later*
*also fights a crone and an army of drowners*
@@nightseeker226 AS long as they're not humans I guess :D
Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you...
I got the ending where he lies that she's dead and she becomes a witcher. But I started crying when I thought she was dead. I was so shocked because I thought I made such good decisions - but then I was so relieved and glad it was the ending I got.
My feelings about the Ending Here I am, devastated, the only word I can describe how tragic and bitter this ending left me. Seeing a man with nothing left, and nothing inside. He had done so much, good and bad, in this unforgiving world. He figured he would do good when he could, but it turns out that his choices weren’t black and white and they hurt the one he cared and loved the most. What hurts more than seeing this very strong man, let himself get executed by the same creatures he hunted, was that it was all his fault. Maybe if he had done something different things would have changed. The only thing he could do now is to gather the last memento of his fallen family. He had done so much for the very same people who would turn their back on him. He wasn’t either a human, or a creature. The only ones he could turn to are a dying species, all the rest killed by the very same people they helped protect. He didn’t want the same for her, she was the only thing he had left, and his feeling or lack thereof was what made it certain she was gone. In the end, no witcher dies in his bed. Now for my personal feelings about the matter. I spent a lot of time completing this game and I always strived to immerse myself. I figure Geralt was a mercenary and his main objective aside from his family would be his work, and no one better there was. Barely any gratitude for him risking his neck, but it was what he was best at. Underneath the veil of toughness and his nonchalant attitude, one of a hardened veteran, there was a veil of good intentions and kindness. At least I figure that is who he was based on the story around me, and I made choices accordingly. The dialogue was so extraordinary I actually did feel immersion and laugh at the wit and quip of the characters and world he interacted with. He had fought for those who couldn’t defend themselves and those of vast innocence as he judged the world not by appearances, race, or status but by their actions. When he finally found Ciri, he ( me ) could not stand to lose what was the only thing that gave me hope in such an unforgiving world. I swore I would always be by her side and help her whenever I could, I would remind her that she had a gift like no other, I did try to encourage her own actions and I agreed she could do her own thing. But I made the mistake of overprotecting her in the important crucial moments. Those that Ciri looked back on and did not let her grow, thus she didn’t believe in herself. That’s exactly what hit me the hardest, even after all Geralt ( I ) did and had thought was the right decisions, they left me with nothing but suffering. In the end, It was all for nothing, whether Geralt tried to be a better person, kill kings or creatures, ask for money or humility, love someone simple or someone complicated. Ciri saved the world but what did Geralt do? He was just a Witcher. With all that said, I would be lying if it didn’t leave me depressed in some way. Few games have if any have left me in this state of emotions, and for that, I applaud the Witcher III and the Polish developers, for creating a media that stand above their peers in dialogue and world-building. I thank them for putting so much effort into their game and all the details (lots which will go unappreciated) they decided to implement. This game opened up a passion for the high fantasy lore (dragons, medieval times, etc) I did not know I needed. I won’t have as much time to indulge in replaying it, and while I wish I could have gotten a less bitter ending, I know it would have not impacted me as much. Thank you CD Projekt Red.
well said
That's the thing. This game will really kick you in the feels and tell you what you are, if you really engage it and let it do so. Such a masterpiece.
I only hope that now that they have their huge audience, like Bethesda gained with their first couple games, that they do not make concessions to the Left when they make their next game. I have a less than 50% hope that they ever do justice to furthering this IP tho...it isn't 2010, when they started development of this game, it is 2023, and forces just as evil as anything in this game are at work to destroy anything like this to ever be able to be made again. The Witcher on Netflix is probably a foreshadowing of what is to come...I hope I am wrong bc this isn't an American developer, but the hooks of the Left reach across the oceans, and infect everything just as The White Frost destroys worlds...

Skateboarding Nation aaaaaaaaaaa
got it first try ....... it sucked(emotionally)
“What do you know about saving the world? You’re but a Witcher” *Ouch*
I will post what I saw somewhere that pretty much describes the werewolf/Geralt situation at the end: It is a metaphor for Geralt but it goes a little bit deeper than that. The fact that he finds himself in the company of a werewolf suggests that Geralt has come to realize that he has more in common with the monsters that he has sworn to destroy than the humans he has sworn to protect. The trapped Wolf symbolizes Geralt himself, ensnared and ultimately slain by those he holds dear. The words spoken by the werewolf, "I used to dream wolf dreams, now I dream hunger, pain, and blood," shows Geralt's downward decline after failing to save Ciri. The man's words also show Geralt's emotional fall: "She's ragin', knows she's as good as dead but has yet to accept it." Geralt sees himself in the Wolf and that is why he strikes the man, as if to prove to himself that he's not as dead as he feels inside. He kills ten men to try to end his suffering, as if slaughter is the only thing that he knows. The werewolf tries to make him consider the cub, the monster expressing more morality than the man, but Geralt is bent on vengeance. All he can do is kill. During the fight against the crone, Geralt tries to tell the werewolf to back away and not interfere because he hates the idea that he has common cause with one of his enemies. It forces him to realize even further what a monster he has become. It is truly a very harsh ending for a character (and the player who played him) who tried to make the right choices and failed doing the only thing that really mattered, which was making Ciri believe in herself. In the end, the wolf shows more humanity in his anxiety over the wolf cubs than Geralt show for the men he slays. He is one part monster, and one part man, but doesn't belong among either. The only real victory exists in his acquiring of Ciri's pendant but it doesn't grant him the cathartic release that he requires, as evidenced by his final collapse into agony, head in hands, mourning the only daughter that he'll ever know...
Well said brother!! What a masterpiece game it was!! And your comment make me realise some thing! Now I wanna play more of cdpr red. I am not confident to buy cyberpunk for my ps4 fat. But I wanna play it so bad
What an excellent analysis.

EdRageHardy yep
@Vault Boy 76 It'd be edgy if he didn't really mean it. But a man losing his daughter can legitimately do that to a person. It's pathetic, but it's all too human, which is what makes it brilliant.

I ended up with this ending my first play through, I didn’t feel right for like two days

I thought witcher 3 has this ending for all untill now. I am so depressed now
vector DJ Good reason to go back and replay it
TwistedNIPZ 718 I just got this ending and I’m actually questioning myself. ;(
Nevirate it’s the best ending IMO cos it has the biggest impact. The happy ending is meh
I got this ending on my first playthrough. Not because I was an arse, but over protective and too serious for Ciri. It helped me with some real life lessons too like helping to cut people some slack, enjoy the moment and to have faith in them. Like to think I did learn from this in any case.
Yep! You were too overprotective of Ciri! How couldn't you have snowball fought her after she feels depressed over the loss of a loved one? And instead chose to try to talk about your feelings like adults? That's such bad parenting!
I just got that ending and I blame avallac so my next playthrough is distrusting him the entire time.
Exactly the same for me. I missed all the "silly" responses because the text for those responses was kinda vague, and I refused to put pressure on her, 'cos I figured everyone else was doing that. The game sees all that pressure as "positive".
@@Rigby350 Yup - the game is kinda weird in that scene - I feel a psychiatrist would definitely not agree with the "good" choice there. Besides, I had no idea there could even be a snowball fight. The text for it isn't exactly clear. I was worried for her, so there's no way I would have chosen to throw a snowball.
@@csbbk4986 That won't work. You have to be super positive around Ciri and put as much pressure on her to perform as possible, as well as acting silly when it seems that it's the time to discuss things seriously. Basically you need to act totally unlike Geralt from the books - put as much pressure on Ciri to perform as possible, and also act stupid like the guys from the movie "Dumb and Dumber", then you'll get the good ending.
This is the most underrated end. Very emotional and well done. Outstanding
I agree
That ending is just so painful to watch.
+Brad Torville But it's sooo good! i mean i hate that Ciri dies, and he's surrounded... But that feel... I think this is the best "Die" ending you can get in most(all) video games.

You want a real worst ending ? - Take the Money and don´t look any further for the lost Sister (First Werewolf Quest) - kill the Botchling ("unborn" from the Bloody Baron") - Make Philip Strenger hang himself (Bloody Baron, free the Dark Spirit in the Trees / Muhmen Quest) - Send Keira Metz to Radovid (tell her it´s a "good" idea) - Don´t Help Triss Merigold or the other Mages - Make a sad play in the Theater (choose to play a Tragedy) - Get the "wrong" Murderer in Novigrad (let the Vampire life/asume it was Nathaniel in the Rittersporn Quest) - Let Cerys & Hjalmar die (don´t help them in their Quests, and after the massaker Ignore it) - Let Radovid be alive (don´t help Djikstra & the others) - Tell Yen "to go to Hell" , ok basicly u just say "I don´t love u" but u get the hang of the idea (Djin Quest) - Kill in both Succubus Witch Hunter Quests the "Ladys" (one in Novigrad, the other on Skellige) - Kill all Trolls in the Witch Hunter Quests or Normal Quests (basicly ever Troll who allows conversation) - Let Lambert die in Kaer Morhem (In Battle, if Vesimir advices u to help him, refuse, go elswhere killing Wild Hunt Folks) - Sell out Ciri to Emhyr (take the Gold with pleasure) - Let Ciri die (make the worst decisions) - No Romance with Shani (just don´t !) - Let Gounter O´Dim take Olgierds Soul (don´t help Olgierd in the last moment) - Visit the "Old One" , or Vampire Master who´s able to summon Detlaff (the option that Regis realy don´t like) - Let Anarietta and her Sister die (safe Syanna from Detlaff but do the wrong answers afterwards) So far so good, I did it once and, what can I say ? Does the Devil feels bad about being himself , I don´t think so. That nasty grin in ur face, after u realize on what pile of corpses u are walking. ps: It´s a Game in the very end, never forget that. No one forces u to play this ending - it´s your very own decision.
well i didnt enjoy myself in this decisions
Real worst ending is let Gaunter take Olgierd's soul THEN choose the gold reward, which is like 2 pennies and a half in witcher terms

@@tornad8063 to save her you need to by sympathetic to her in the magic world. When she offers to tell you her story, let her tell you it. You don’t need to romance her or anything if you don’t want too. And then when everything is over, when you go see her before your trial, you can tell her to forgive her sister. And then they both live.
@@elizercat for sure i was nice fir her in magic world... but later...i think, i wasnot... thx
I got this ending while trying to make Ciri the empress. I worked with the emperor and believed I did everything right. But looking back on it I failed. I always told Ciri what to do, always held her hand and led her the way I wanted. It was always about what I wanted. Because of this she did not believe in herself, I had planted doubts in her mind which resulted in her not coming back from the storm. And I keep thinking back to our last moment. I didn't want her to risk her life stopping the storm, it was the crown I wanted for her, and as she chooses to go I am speechless and say nothing. I wanted to wish her luck, but I couldn't find the words thus I stood there in silence. I played with the feelings of Triss and Yen... and drove them both away. All I have are regrets and sadness as I walk the decaying castle of Kaer Morhen. I think about Ciri, Vesimir, the decline on the witchers. Everyone I cared for is gone, driven away and I am all alone. I never wanted it to end like this, yet it did. This playthrough has been an eye-opening experience. I was very immersed in the story and the outcome was a perfect example that actions have consequenses. Allthough I meant well, I failed to realise what was most important. My egoistic way of thinking lead me to this ending. A beatiful and heart-wrenching experience and the best RPG I've played to this date.
well said!
The fact a video game makes you feel this way doesn't happen often. Witcher 3 truly served.
My life has enough failure as is.
Finished the DLCs and ended up with Yen at Corvo Vineyard estate, and Ciri was alive on her path as a Witcher, all on my first play through! Awesome game but now I'm taking a break on some Assassins Creed before I NG+
Literally had the same ending/play through as you. It’s really sad when you realise geralt has no one left that loves him.
my first thought reading the title: HOW CAN YOU FUCK UP THAT BAD
feels same as you bro :(
its actually pretty easy tbh. These endings are based off of choices you make throughout the entire game. It kinda sucks honestly
+Joshcoshbagosh Why does it suck? I hate games that let you choose your ending at the end.
AnonymMC because its not like you can just reload from before the final battle, change a few things, and then get a different ending. YOur ending is determined before the battle even starts. Its based off of decisions you made throughout the entire game, especially after you rescue Ciri
+Joshcoshbagosh that's the whole point, your choices actually matter you can't just make poor decisions the whole game and then have an option to redeem urself at the end. that's a cop out and I'm glad Witcher didn't do that
Also it's like Geralt is speaking to himself and the player when he lasts speaks to the werewolf. "Find a werewife, save the cub, go far away" (Perfect ending)
Ciri isn’t dead, she’s just bounty hunting in Night City.
Yep she travels time and space
There needs to be an ending where the Wild Hunt wins because Geralt spent too much time playing Gwent.
Too much time playing gwent and spending time in brothels ... 🤣
He'll just beat the Wild Hunt in gwent to win back ciri and make them leave or sth 😂😂

+Elementz you do realize the games are based on books. So the writing was already done for them
In my personal opinion this is my favourite of all the possible endings. Years ago when I first played this game I received this ending and it left me heartbroken. But despite this feeling of grief I couldn't believe how a game could evoke such powerful emotions from me. This ending is sad, but its also beautiful.
I feel really bad for anyone who simply made the wrong choices and got this ending. Think about how devastating/sad that would be after investing so much time, so many hours, and all your emotions into the game. And let's be real: without a guide of some kind, it wouldn't be hard to do on your first playthrough, as only *one* of the choices is obvious (visiting Ciri's friend's grave with her). This would be utterly heartbreaking. If this happened to you, I'm really sorry/hope you loaded up an earlier save and fixed things.
A lot of games take different approaches to decide what ending the player should get. I've completed a lot of side missions in rdr2 cause I fell in love with the world of the game and it gave me a good ending. Thought it should work similarly here but it didn't. At some point, every side quest or contract was giving me only 3 to 5 points of experience (instead of 150-300). After that, I decided that I won't do any side missions at all.
When Geralt throws the sword at her that was so bad ass. Sad ending tho. You could tell he was really losing his mind.. like he wanted to die
Agree
he lost ciri he lost vesemir before that he did not feel nothing but then feel everthing ...
Nah he was just very upset, I don't think he wanted to die.
When ciri fought the crones she threw the sword in the same way, nice little detail
@@sevbans he still has roach :)
If you get this Ending Ciri didn’t die, she just went to stay in the cyberpunk world and we’ll see her in 2077
l wanna see in witcher 4 not in cyberpunk
She is dead in every ending, because she couldnt do a shit against the White Frost, her Elder Blood gene was created only to make a huge portal to evacuate Aen Elle from their world, thats it. As much as I like the W3 game, this endings are just a piece of bullshit and nothing more.
@@chriscts3983 He is right - accroding to the books its exactly as he says. But people like happy endings so they added Empress and Witcher endings
@@MM-hd6xo so real endig ciri dead and then what happned geralt ? l never played that ending
Michael Scofield he dead in the book by heart failure
Hey I just finished my first playthrough 200 hours in, dlcs completed and all. This was my ending and want to share my thoughts. I feel an incredible amount of sorrow and sadness for Geralt, to never show emotions, for being a witcher, to have lost the only person in which his love was never questioned... his last scene sitting with her medallion killed me. I feel like I wont replay nor further explore this game in a long time, I won't forget this feeling. Dont get my wrong, it is perhaps the best game/story I experienced in my life, but my heart cant take this. I encourage you to help any young witchers outside who are new to this tale, to suggest them to avoid this ending at any cost, it will at least make for it a more pleasant experience.
Bro come back and make her witcher its time lol
@@melihbarut86 waiting for a next gen upgrade prob next year lol
@@MegaFalco2000 so u did?
It's time. Let ciri live the life we all want for her
@@MegaFalco2000 Did you do it?
I didn't want Ciri to find out we raised her boyfriend from the dead, so I told her we couldn't visit his grave. Apparently, that didn't matter and we both died.
Do not worry, Gerald died 1.000 times while I played with him. He will again respavn after a bad end game! :D
+Rale Ralić Oh my x0000
+Rale Ralić no he doesnt! This isnt gta. it either reloads to the past save or you start the story all over again if you never saved.
+Paul Monroe What about autosaves? :D
Gerald died 1 time when ya played with him? Not very good at playing with people are ya?
We can't all master the game. I died a lot too on my 3rd playthrough on Death March. Not all of us can flawlessly parry every sword swing or dodge every monster attack(especially when all you want is to power up the Lady of the Lake's sword)
Wow, I seriously didn't know the endings could differ this much, I'm kind of impressed. I got the ending when Ciri became a witcher, and Geralt and Yen became a couple.
It's very easy to get that ending if you didn't complete the missions that help you kill Radovids, because if Radovids & Djikstra don't die then Niflguard loses the war & Ciri's father loses his position as king and is killed by rebels. Since there is no Nilfguard kingdom to rule Ciri has no option but to become a witcher. If you help Nilfguard win the war then the only way Ciri still can be a Witcher instead of Empress is if you don't take her to meet her father.
Kul Zaze yeap, I didn't take her to meet her father.
James Sarvan if you want a black Roach in the game the only way to get 1 is either by going to meet Ciri's father and refusing the coin or playing heart of stone and in the end letting o'dimm kill olgreid and choosing the demonic saddle as a reward for helping O'Dimm. Whenever you where the demonic saddle Roach gets one demon eye and he turns from brown to pitch black colour
Kul Zaze Cool tip, thank you!
My ending was good all around, Ciri became "King" or queen taking over her fathers throne. Yen and Geralt stayed together.Geralt just rode off into the sunset to begin my Heart and Stone play through.
After reading the book, idk why but I feel this is the proper ending. It seems like everything built up to ciri giving her life to save the world.
That's what I told my friends. Based on what happens in the world of TW, both in the games and the books, there couldn't be a fairy tale ending. The prophecy said that the child would destroy the world, but she sacrificed herself for those people. It is the most consistent with what happens in that world, however, it is not the best.
Terribly sad.... no other game has forced more tears out of me than this one. I love this game so much. It's the greatest game of all time. It's not close.
Right
Rdr2 is imo but Witcher 3 is still really great
@@Termy_Controls in RDR2 are a bit clunky, especially aiming. But I definitely rdr2 has a better story. However the Witcher can’t really be compared in this regard since the player chooses the story.
@@thanus6636 rdr2 controls were clunky? Look I love the witcher 3 as much as the next guy but lets admit its controls were so clunky I quit this game 3 times 😭 movement and horse controls was at its worst. I hope the next gen update improves on it
@@Termy_ When I say controls I mainly mean combat. Witcher feels much more fluid. RDR2’s combat can feel clunky due to Arthur taking cover in the wrong place, and aiming feeling a bit awkward on controller (don’t know if this is the case on PC)
I call this ending "World's Worst Dad Award."
bump
+John Doe MOTHAH HAWLP MOTHAH HEWLP NOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! to be honest, the worlds worst dad award goes to Stannis Baratheon or Tywin Lannister. I choose the latter
Not really. If Geralt makes the worst choices for Ciri (sells her to Emhyr, doesn't help her vent, doesn't help her mourn etc.), she becomes the emperor of Nilfgaard, so really this is the "Almost Worst Dad Award."
+Shaun Powell Actually making her Empress of Nilfgard is the hardest ending to obtain. You have to be nice with her at least 3 times (2 for Witcher) and there are 5 specific choices in dialogs you MUST do. One of which is a quick time one.
+Xelian E yay me for getting that ending wothput knowing beforehand ^^ only thing that bugs me is that all 3 possible endings for the north are kind of bad, redania as independent racist country with radovid as king, a vassalstate Temaria or a djikstra ruled redania thats as rotten as the sewers. I wished there was a ending to convince temaria to foght for their independence, maybe with help of skjellige, because it has ben hinced that Nilfgaard would fall if at any point skjellige went on the offensive and the North kept resisting Nilfgaard
I can understand how some people feel that this ending fits the witcher world better but nah, f this. Too painful, and Geralt has been through a lot of pain already. The man deserves a better ending.
Fuck geralt hes not real, I deserved a better ending. I put so much time into the game to have this ending decided by 5 things I didnt realize held this much weight
@@Versace_sheets wdym? Is not your story for you to get a better ending, even though you thought those decisions wouldn't make a difference you still didn't connect with the other characters to think in them rather than yourself. Goty deserved
@@Versace_sheetsWell fuck you then you made these choices
@@brachialtick6539 clearly you don't Get what im saying
@@Versace_sheets well clearly you weren't invested in the characters and you didn't make the right choices,accept it because this ending may be the worst but its really well done
The emotions are so well done in this game...... you can absolutely feel geralts pain....
I thought Ciri died in my game, so I replayed the entire part where Ciri was in the game. I got the same ending and I was angry, but I accepted it. Then I discovered she wasn’t dead and she became a Witcher. Luckily it’s not a bad thing to replay this game ❤️
Wow. That’s the only time I’ve seen Geralt get emotional and panicked - as he sweeps the shelves clear, and hurriedly tries to open the chest - and man does it hit hard. Everything, from that little detail of him only now calling her his ‘daughter’, is painfully beautiful here. Fathers, train your children to be strong - knowing they’re loved, and able to receive help when they need it, absolutely - but also confident in the knowledge that they’ve got what it takes. In my opinion, this is why Geralt needs to step back a little and let Ciri make her own decisions. We need to know we have what it takes. Personally, I love what CDPR did with choices and how they impact Ciri’s fate. Moves me to be better. Don’t know what great art is, if not that.
I believe witchers are not devoid of emotin but instead hae surpressed it. Emotions tend to cloud judgement and when facing difficult tasks thye must think quick and logically in able to finish the quest. The trials made them go through rigorous mental training as well. They were far suited to control and surpress emotions but not to be devoid of it.
@@markancheta2210 they have emotions they just tell people they dont
@@chonkycat841 yeah...Like i said..they repressed it
@@markancheta2210 ok
@@markancheta2210 Its also the mutagens that suppress their emotions or make them emotion-less. So to see Geralt in this state, this was an overwhelming pain for him
Why can't you retrive the medallion and kill the crone after the good ending... it should be his main quest to kill that evil pig.
Szarko Yeah i agree
Pretty sure you can kill all 3 crones with the good ending lol
Kid Goku how?
There's a quest with Ciri to go to the Giant Tree, south east of Velen (After the swamp area) You go to kill one of the Wild Hunt members (can't remember his name) And there's part of that quest where both you and Ciri fight all 3 crones
Kid Goku Spiler: in this quest (bald mountian) Ciri fights crones, but will kill two... it's a cutscene.
o.m.g. thanks so much for posting this. that was profoundly intense and sad.
indeed
So glad I got this ending, it’s so powerful I don’t mind that things ended the way they did.
indeed, im of the same opinion
Honestly I can't say I cared much about Ciri but having Geralt die is wrong on so many levels man. I left a ton of quests unfinished and I intended to play through all of them, but now it just doesn't seem right. Same thing with the DLC
@@markoboizys2940 Ikr ,imo the empress ending would be the most realistic outcome of the game.
"I don't feel a thing anymore" Damn it. Geralt's an edgelord now
Griffinator Imagine this line with those weird ass emo hair
Grief brings out everyone’s inner edgelord.
It's not edgy if you take into account that he's a deathwish now.
Nah edgelords usually say it without understanding the full meaning of the words
Not really, since he actually has a reason to feel that way, though I know it was just a joke
This was the ending I got the first time I played the game. A part of me died.... i can still feel the hole it left. I played again though to get the good one... but still the hole is left.
+JoaniMaster its because the first end is your story
Krivi Yeah sadly
same
+Nicatization lol sucks for you I'm enjoying these dlc stories
You are wrong. And by that I mean why you choose to not buy them. The reason you felt that way is because of how they (CDPR) managed to convey the story (in gameplay, graphics, voice acting, game polish ETC. But most of all - Story) Which in game and book is done extraordinarily well. In few words, you cared about them. I have completed Hearth of Stone, and am now playing Blood and Wine - I can HIGHLY recommend both. Do yourself the favour.
This was the ending in my first and so far only playthrough. It's been more than a year and I still can't make myself start another one. This ending is gut-wrenching and it crushed me, but it feels so real and... Right, even?
Now that I've gotten that ending, i kinda have no motivation for the 2 dlcs knowing i wasn't a good father
“Stole my daughter’s medallion” , “Daughter’s” !!!!!! Hnnng mah heart ♥️✨♥️😭
Anyone else get sorta teary eyed throughout this game? Certain moments really get me... For sure when Geralt finds Ciri's lifeless body, and holds her up... The first time I played that scene hit me right in the feels.
I feel you bro.. that part got me too
The game tricks you in a way in my ending, where he tells the emperor that Ciri is dead. She makes no appearance in the tower and does a pretty good job of making you feel that she's dead. She ends up alive, though I cried throughout that entire scene. Couldn't even sleep the night I played and Vesimir died. The characters all felt so lifelike to me, and it made it all the more emotional. I can't imagine what you went through, though.
John Oswald I love the stories, and with games becoming more and more realistic, and graphically rich in their characters and environments... it's like these stories just come to life. I love RPGs because you get to mold the characters and the story to your liking but sometimes you get curve balls like we've seen in Witcher 3 that really tug at your heart strings...
Easy, made me cry. Then I felt like an idiot haha.
+John Oswald Vesimir and crach still hurts me when I see them pass away and Ive played a good 6 times now
I'm glad I can watch this ending here so I can at least know what it's like, because I will never personally be able to make myself do it. I'd rather set myself on fire than intentionally hurt Ciri, I swear
yup, that's me. left me traumatized that I don't even feel like continuing into DLC.. the only reason keeping me going is NG+ after it.
Wish there was a way to kill this last Crone without this ending.
No way ciri will let her keep the medallion in the other endings
@Seth Throndsen depends on what you mean with ruthless. Ciri has a "points" system on her. She starts at 0 points, certain actions give points or take some away. Having a snowball fight for example adds a point, refusing that takes one away. For Ciri to live she must be on 0 points or higher. Any negative number means she dies.
@Seth Throndsen to get the Ciri "Alive" ending, you either let her became a witcher or became an empress but choices throughout the game will affect ciri's ending, at 2:21 flashbacks were the "MAJOR" key points, first - after the Kaer Morhen battle, don't invite her to drink, instead select the other option where you get to play snowball fight with her, then don't take her to/or take her to Emhyr ( this will determine if she became a Witcher/Empress ), third is let her speak alone with the Sorceress of Lodge, fourth is "Go for it" option in Avallach's labaratory and lastly Visit Skjall's grave with her, -- These are all the positive points Ciri has throughout the Game, she will later became an Empress/Witcher. do the other option and she will die.
@Seth Throndsen Geralt doesn't die in this ending it's just incorrect speculation by the video creator.
@@HubertKingHebra You forgot about rejecting the gold reward if you bring her to Emhyr.
Few drowners and couple ghouls? pfft Geralt will just spin in circles and end up killing them all
+Shadow he probably gave up at that point
Yes, even rambo wouldnt survive at that point . im pretty sure geralt wouldnt even try to defend himself
he hasn't got his swords
+Rockman Rossi Igni son! He doesn't die.
U mean endless. The last sister said a endless amount of monsters will appear and geralt could not handle it, or he didn't even try to defend himself because of his depression
The ending I will never forget but want it to be erased from my memories. This is brutal, painful and heartbreaking. I was so depressed that I chose what I thought was right, but turned out to be completely wrong. It forced me to reload my old saves and do everything right. The depression was real...
To anyone still searching, the music at 12:23 is The Urn Full Of Sorrows.
Although this is the worst ending, for me, personally, it is the most satisfying. Since I first met the Crones that I wanted to shove my sword in their face. Nevertheless, the fact that Ciri doesn't come back and how badly it damaged Geralt is heartwrenching. You know its a good game when it spikes true emotion in you.
André Bolila I feel the same pretty much, it's really dramatic
André Bolila The last crone will die anyway. Without her sisters or the people giving them offerings she has little power.
I can't believe that out of all the endongs of this game I got the worst one :,(. I'm just gonna redo the whole game and make the right choices.
i cried at the positive ending i went to the emperror and i told him ciri is dead and i believed she was dead when he told him i started crying so bad then when i went at the bar in velen i saw her alive and it was all a trick ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME GAMEEEEEEEEEE?
TheDoggyGaming oh my, laughed so hard on your comment haha
I actually cried when I got this ending, It was the first time I ever beat the game and it was heartbreaking to see geralt crying as he held ciri’s medallion to his forehead as he was being swarmed by monsters but the part that had gotten me the most upset and emotional was that he did not even fight back I did not even understand at first what I did to make this ending happen
:(
I just finished the game for the first time(just need to finish the other two expansion stories) and seeing this ending really hurt. 😭 I didn't physically cry, but I did internally.
Who said he didn't fight? Also he's clearly still alive because heart of stone and blood and wind exist.

This ending is so sad but probably the most badass. Geralt goes berserk I love it.
Best ending all the time I don't feel a thing anymore.........
I've never seen this ending... this is dark, like really Fucking dark
Apart from a couple of dialogue changes, this was my ending. Left me feeling quite bleak.
Actually fits the setting perfectly. It's a pretty unfair world out there.
Even though this is sad, it's a pretty badass ending tbh
yes
It would have been more badass if you had the option to fight off the monsters swarming you.
i understand that you kinda like and feel impressed by the ending so that you deemed it "badass" but to me the word "badass" shouldn't be used in this case, it's more like "dramatic" to me and "tragic" is also fit.
This was the first ending I got but it was hard not to be blown away. Also the last scene is probably referencing what dandelion talked to him about in the book, about retiring to a little shack in the woods to wait out his death after living past his usefulness.
I remember playing the Witcher 3 for the first time and getting this ending, I remember my reaction being one of confusion and anger exactly what I think Geralt felt in his last moments
really glad i didn't get this ending i would of been super depressed lol
Kyle Ohlson I got this one
i did and got depressed

I got it when I finished.
Sam Poncho I got it first round yesterday😰 I feel so angry and surprised. Should I start NG+ or more on to blood and wine DLC
GOON do hearts of stone first, then blood and wine! Both are excellent. But wrap up everything in velen and skellige that you want to do before doing blood and wine!
Sam Poncho I did heart of stone in game already, it's just me waiting to deciding to play blood and wine or NG+
Then do blood and wine! It's really good and on top of that and will give Geralt some epic upgrades for NG+ like mutations and grandmaster gear. Did I mention it's just an excellent piece of DLC not worth skipping?
