Child of the Elder Blood

Main StoryNovigrad

It turned out Avallac'h's well-guarded secret was a hidden laboratory in which he carried out research on Lara Dorren's gene - the gene Ciri bore within her, the cause of her power and her misfortune. Ciri was understandably less than thrilled to see herself through Avallac'h's eyes as a subject in some twisted experiment. Meanwhile, they also discovered this secret research wasn't the only reason the Seer kept the place hidden. Avallac'h seemed to have been using it as a pleasure alcove for trysts with his elven lover. Who would have thought? It turns out even the wisest of sages is not always driven by pure reason alone.

Choices & consequences

Carries the last two of Ciri's hidden choices. She lives unless you rack up three or more negative choices overall — pair surviving with the Emhyr visit and the Reason of State (Nilfgaard) win for the Empress ending.

At Avallac'h's laboratory…

“Go for it” (let Ciri smash the place up)
She vents her grief and rage. Positive.
“Calm down”
You bottle her up. Negative.

Skjall's grave

Go with her to pay respects
She honours the friend who died for her. Positive.
Refuse to go
She grieves alone. Negative.
