The Warble of a Smitten Knight

SecondaryToussaintBlood and Wine

In observance of tradition, the witcher had to reveal a name to take part in the tourney. He chose the immensely original moniker "Geralt of Rivia."

Missable. This quest fails for good once you start Capture the Castle. Finish it first — see the full missables checklist.

Choices & consequences

Knight Guillaume is smitten with Lady Vivienne, who hides the curse of the Allgod — part-bird, doomed to transform under moonlight. How you lift it shapes how long she lives.

How do you break Vivienne's curse?

Tell Guillaume the truth
Guillaume willingly takes the curse onto himself, where it's far weaker; Vivienne is freed and keeps a full life. The happiest outcome.
Keep her secret (the oriole-egg ritual)
The curse is lifted into an oriole egg. Vivienne is free — but bound to the bird's lifespan, she has only a few years left.
