The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings's page

  1. The King’s Murder

    You were Geralt of Rivia, an amnesiac witcher serving as King Foltest's protector. During the assault on La Valette Castle, you chose whether to kill or spare Aryan La Valette. An assassin disguised as a monk then murdered Foltest and escaped. Blamed for the killing, you convinced Vernon Roche to help you escape and sailed with him and Triss Merigold toward Flotsam.

  2. Flotsam

    You saved Dandelion and Zoltan from the gallows and killed the kayran blocking river traffic. Your hunt led to Letho, a witcher working with the elf Iorveth. Letho defeated you, then forced Triss to teleport him to Aedirn. You chose whom to follow after them: Roche, commander of Temeria's Blue Stripes, or Iorveth, leader of the Scoia'tael fighters.

  3. Aedirn’s Battlefield

    You reached a war between King Henselt's army and Saskia's defenders of Vergen. Your alliance placed you in Henselt's camp or inside Vergen. On either route, you entered a battlefield trapped in a spectral battle and defeated the draug to lift its curse. The war's outcome and Henselt's fate depended on your path. Your search for Triss led onward to Loc Muinne.

  4. Loc Muinne

    You arrived as rulers and mages gathered to settle the North's future. Triss was a Nilfgaardian prisoner. You chose between rescuing her and helping your ally: Roche sought Foltest's daughter Anaïs, while Iorveth needed Philippa Eilhart to free Saskia from magical control. Triss survived either choice. Your decisions shaped Temeria's settlement and whether the summit became a massacre of mages.

  5. The Dragon

    You pursued Síle de Tansarville as a dragon attacked the summit. She admitted the Lodge of Sorceresses had arranged King Demavend's murder, but blamed Nilfgaard for the wider conspiracy. You could save her from a sabotaged teleport or leave her to die. You then defeated the dragon, Saskia under Philippa's control. Killing, sparing, or freeing her depended on your path.

  6. The Kingslayer’s Employer

    You finally met Letho without another army separating you. Behind the assassinations stood Emperor Emhyr of Nilfgaard, who had promised to restore Letho's witcher school. Letho had exploited the Lodge's scheme and its contacts to kill northern kings and leave their realms divided. The sorceresses had wanted influence over the Pontar Valley; Nilfgaard had wanted a weakened North to invade.

  7. A Recovered PastThe ending

    You recovered the memory of trading yourself to the Wild Hunt for Yennefer's freedom. Letho had helped pursue the Hunt and cared for her afterward; she had survived and was somewhere in Nilfgaard. You decided whether to kill Letho or let him leave, then departed Loc Muinne with Triss. Behind you, the North's rulers faced the consequences of your choices as Nilfgaard's invasion began.
