The all Witcher 3 romance options system is one of the reasons the game feels so personal. Whether you choose Yennefer, Triss, or one of the smaller side romances, each option adds a different emotional layer to Geralt’s journey.
All Witcher 3 Romance Options: A Complete Guide to Geralt’s Heart.
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt can pursue meaningful relationships with multiple characters, spend the night with random women, or resort to brothels. Some stories unfold over several quests and impact the witcher’s love life in the epilogue, while others are limited to a single romantic encounter. Additional options also appear in the expansions “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine.”
Main love lines
The main game features two main romantic paths: Triss Merigold and Yennefer of Vengerberg. Their choice determines who Geralt will end up with after the adventure ends in the epilogue. However, it’s possible to pursue romances with other women besides these two, regardless of who the witcher chooses as his life partner.
Triss Merigold
Main quests: “Bonfires of Novigrad”, “A Matter of Life and Death”, “Treasures of Count Reuven”, “Now or Never”.
To get closer to Triss, you’ll first have to help her in Novigrad and complete the associated quests. The most important decisions are made during two side quests:
- In the quest “A Matter of Life and Death,” go to the ball with the sorceress and be sure to kiss her.
- In “Now or Never,” help the mages escape Novigrad. At the end of the quest, when Triss says goodbye to Geralt at the ship, ask her to stay and confess your love.
For more information on required dialogue options and the consequences of your decisions, read our guide to romance with Triss Merigold .
Yennefer of Vengerberg
Main quests: “The King is Dead – Long Live the King”, “The Last Wish”, “The Freak”, “There’s No Place Like Home”.
The first romantic scene with Yennefer is unlocked during the quest “The King is Dead, Long Live the King.” For this scene, wear a black and white outfit, and after the battle with the earth elemental, when the room begins to fill with gas, choose the kiss option. Then, when Yennefer is mending her torn dress, agree to look at her.
However, for a full-fledged romance, the most important quest is “The Last Wish.” In it, the sorceress attempts to break the magical bond created by Geralt’s wish to the djinn. Once the spell is broken, tell Yennefer that your feelings for her have not faded—this decision cements the romantic ending.
We’ve compiled all the important lines and ending conditions in a separate guide to Yennefer’s romance .
What happens if you choose both?
Don’t try to win the affections of both Triss and Yennefer at the same time if you’re hoping to stay with one of them. If Geralt confesses his love to both, the sorceresses will later offer him an unusual way to divide their attention. However, instead of the promised intimacy, the witcher will be deceived: the women will leave him tied to an inn bed, and it will be up to Dandelion to rescue the hapless hero.
After this, neither Triss nor Yennefer will want to discuss romantic relationships with Geralt anymore. Thus, trying to have it both ways will deprive the witcher of both his main loves.
Other heroines of the main game
Besides his two main love interests, Geralt can spend the night with several other women. These encounters do not affect the possibility of achieving the ending with Triss or Yennefer.
Keira Metz
Tasks: “Witch Hunt”, “By Touch”, “Magic Lamp” (optional), “Mouse Tower”, “Friendly Favor”.
Keira is one of the first sorceresses Geralt can romance. You can meet her in a hut in the Velen forest. First, complete the main quests “Witch Hunt” and “By Touch,” after which Keira will invite the witcher to her home. Accept her invitation and help her lift the curse on the island during “A Towerful of Mice.”
The sorceress will then ask for another favor: find a delayed package from Novigrad. Go on a quest and inspect the site where the carriage crashed. You’ll discover that Keira has ordered everything needed for a special moonlit dinner.
After completing the task, she’ll invite Geralt to spend the evening together. Accept her invitation and maintain the romantic mood, and the witcher will be able to spend the night with the sorceress. If you don’t want to get closer to her, you can decline and say that your heart is already taken. A detailed walkthrough of all quests is provided in our separate guide .
Madam Sakha
Task: “High Stakes”.
Geralt meets Sakha during a Gwent tournament in Novigrad. To participate, find the notice on the city board and prepare a deck with a total value of at least 70. Registration also requires 1,000 crowns.
Winning the tournament isn’t a prerequisite for the romance. What’s important is agreeing to help Sakha when, after the prize money is stolen, she offers to help her solve the mystery. Find the culprits and then go to dinner with her. During the meeting, agree to continue the evening, so Geralt can spend the night with her.
Jutta an Dimun
Task: “Iron Maiden”.
In Skellige, Geralt can meet Jutta an Dimun, a warrior who will challenge him to a duel. She can be found in the mountains east of Harviken.
The conditions of the challenge depend on the witcher’s previous actions. If you’ve already dealt with the slaver leader or defeated Einar, Jutta will agree to the duel. Otherwise, she’ll ask you to deal with Gundar first or retrieve an ancient sword from the seabed.
To achieve a romantic encounter, you must defeat Jutta in a fair sword fight. Avoid using signs, potions, or bombs. If you resort to such tactics, she will consider the victory unfair and will lose respect for Geralt. After the duel, she will invite the witcher to her hut. Arrive there after sunset and accept her proposal. If you’re not interested in romance, you can decline and advise her to seek a companion on other islands.
Romances in the Hearts of Stone expansion
Shani
Tasks: “I was there too, drinking mead and beer” and “Clear midnight”.
During the wedding in the “Hearts of Stone” expansion, Geralt can spend time with his old acquaintance, Shani. After Vitold leaves the witcher’s body, don’t leave the party; stay and agree to help her unwind. This will unlock the quest “Clear Midnight.”
The girl likes rowan berries, so to win Shani over, find a rowan berry branch and present it to the medic. In the dialogue, choose responses that demonstrate your interest in the girl. In particular, admit that you like her more than others and make it clear that a kiss isn’t enough for you. If you do everything correctly, Geralt and Shani will go on a boat ride, where a romantic scene awaits.
We’ve covered the detailed order of lines and choices in a separate guide to the Shani romance .
Romances in the Blood and Wine expansion
Sianna
Tasks: “The Long Night” and “Long ago…”
In the Blood and Wine expansion, Geralt will have the opportunity to become closer to Syanna. To do so, in the quest “The Long Night,” he must support Regis’s plan to rescue her and follow her to the Land of a Thousand Tales. If he chooses another path, this romance option will be unavailable.
During the “Long Ago…” quest, find a red ribbon for Syanna. You can buy it or win it in Gwent from the Little Match Girl. When talking to her, show interest in her past, be polite, and never miss an opportunity to joke. For example, after meeting the Three Little Pigs, it’s best to keep the conversation lighthearted.
At the end of this fairytale adventure, Geralt and Syanna will climb the beanstalk to the ruined fortress and battle the Giant Beyond the Clouds. After their victory, Syanna will offer the witcher her final wish. Ask her what she means, and then agree to her offer, and the heroes will spend the night together.
Prostitutes and brothels
If you don’t want a long-term relationship or romantic quests, Geralt can simply pay for company at one of the brothels. Such encounters also don’t affect the endings with Triss or Yennefer.
There are two establishments in Novigrad:
- “Passionflower” is a brothel run by Madame Marquise Serenity. Courtesans’ services cost 40 crowns.
- “Lame Katarina” – here you can spend time with up to three girls. The cost per meeting is 20 CZK.
The Blood and Wine expansion adds another establishment, the Bells of Beauclair, in the capital of Toussaint, run by Madame Isabelle.
To use the girls’ services, simply visit the appropriate establishment, pay the required amount, and choose one of the available courtesans. To visit a brothel in Novigrad, Geralt will need a pass allowing him access to the city.
Do the extra novels affect the main ending?
No. Affairs with Keira Metz, Madame Sasha, Jutta an Dimun, Shani, and Syanna do not prevent Geralt from achieving the ending with Triss or Yennefer. The same applies to visiting brothels; such encounters do not change the outcome of the main love stories.
The exception is attempting to simultaneously pursue full-fledged relationships with both Triss and Yennefer. If the witcher confesses his love to both, he will ultimately lose them both. Therefore, if you want a romantic ending with one of the main characters, make your choice in advance.
