Scenes From a Marriage

Main StoryVelenHearts of Stone

Olgierd's abandoned residence was haunted by the ghost of his wife, Iris von Everec – or more accurately, by deadly spectral emanations coming from her dormant spirit. Geralt had to overcome many obstacles before finally awakening Iris' ghost from her tortured sleep so he could talk to her about the violet rose. After he did so, he traveled to the world of the ghost's imagination to revive memories repressed within it and defeat the embodiments of Iris' fears. In short, it was one of Geralt's more unusual adventures. At its end, our hero emerged from the imagined world with a very tangible rose in hand, ready to deliver to Olgierd in completion of his wish. The price of obtaining this rose? The ultimate end of Iris von Everec.

Choices & consequences

Inside Iris von Everec's Painted World to find the rose Olgierd demanded. The one real choice only colours the finale's dialogue — it doesn't change which ending you can reach.

Take the rose from Iris, or leave it with her?

Take the rose
Iris and her guardian spirits are freed (her spirit passes on), and you leave with the real rose to give Olgierd.
Leave it with her
Iris stays bound to the painted world and you carry out only a painting of the rose — which visibly angers Olgierd.
