Can You See Yennefer After Beating The Witcher 3? A Comprehensive Guide

The question of whether you can reunite with Yennefer after completing the main storyline of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a common one among players. The short answer is: Yes, you can see Yennefer after beating the game, but it’s not as straightforward as simply running into her in the world. Her presence hinges on specific choices you make throughout your playthrough, particularly concerning your romantic relationships. Let’s dive into the details to clarify where and when you can find her.

Yennefer’s Post-Game Locations Explained

After the main questline concludes, Yennefer’s location depends on a few crucial factors. The most significant of these is whether you pursued a romantic relationship with her and your progress with the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions. Here’s a breakdown:

• Kaer Trolde (Pre-UMA Retrieval): Initially, after the main game concludes, Yennefer can often be found in Kaer Trolde on Skellige. She typically stays at the inn, in the room she has rented. This is generally where she will be present before you embark on the quest to retrieve UMA.

• Kaer Morhen (Post-UMA Retrieval, but Before Endings): Once you’ve begun the quest to retrieve UMA, Yennefer will usually relocate to Kaer Morhen. This is her main base of operations during the lead-up to the final act of the game.

• Blood and Wine Epilogue (Corvo Bianco): The most permanent and arguably most satisfying way to see Yennefer after beating the main game is in the Blood and Wine expansion. If you have successfully romanced her during the main game (and not Triss), she will eventually become your guest at Corvo Bianco, your vineyard estate in Toussaint. She will stay there permanently, assuming that you fully complete the Blood and Wine main quest.

The Importance of Romance Choices

The key to consistently having Yennefer available in the post-game content, particularly at Corvo Bianco, revolves around your romantic choices. The game gives you the option to romance either Yennefer or Triss, but trying to romance both or neither will have consequences that impact who shows up at the end of Blood and Wine.

• Yennefer Romance: If you choose to pursue a romance with Yennefer and reject Triss, Yennefer will appear at Corvo Bianco during the epilogue. This is often considered the “correct” choice by many players devoted to her character’s established romance with Geralt.

• Triss Romance: If you choose to pursue a romance with Triss and reject Yennefer, Triss will appear at Corvo Bianco instead of Yennefer.

• Neither Romance: If you decide against romancing either sorceress, Ciri (if she survives the main quest) will visit you at Corvo Bianco. If Ciri doesn’t survive, Dandelion will be your guest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Yennefer After Witcher 3

Here are 15 frequently asked questions, covering many related points to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Yennefer’s presence after the main game:

1. What happens to Yennefer after the main story of The Witcher 3?

After the main story, Yennefer returns to the Lodge to deal with the consequences of the war, and the surviving mages. She initially leaves Geralt and Ciri to handle this. She also agrees to reconnect later, and during the DLC, she can be invited to visit you at Corvo Bianco.

2. Does Yennefer show up in the Blood and Wine DLC?

Yes, if you have romanced her in the main game, Yennefer will show up at Corvo Bianco in the epilogue of the Blood and Wine DLC. This is the main way to have her present in the post-game world, and she will stay there permanently.

3. What happens if you tell Yennefer you love her after romancing Triss?

If you have committed to romancing Triss, telling Yennefer you love her during her Djinn quest will result in a “threesome bait scene,” where both Yennefer and Triss will be present. However, you will ultimately be left alone and locked out of both relationships. Therefore, you should make the choice early on to commit to one of the two romances.

4. Can I romance Shani after romancing Yennefer?

Yes, you can romance Shani in the Hearts of Stone DLC, and it will not affect your relationship with Yennefer or Triss. It is considered a “one-off” relationship and is independent of the main romance options.

5. Does Yennefer get pregnant in The Witcher 3?

No, Yennefer cannot get pregnant in the Witcher universe. Sorceresses, including Yennefer, are generally infertile due to the nature of their magical abilities, and even more so in the show where she removed her uterus for beauty.

6. Has Yennefer ever cheated on Geralt?

Yes, there are multiple instances in the lore and game where Yennefer has been with other people behind Geralt’s back, which is a source of conflict between them.

7. Can Ciri and Yennefer both come to Corvo Bianco?

No, only one person will come to Corvo Bianco in the epilogue: either Yennefer, Triss, Ciri (if neither were romanced), or Dandelion (if Ciri is dead). It is a common mistake to think that they all can come together at Corvo Bianco but that is incorrect.

8. Does Yennefer stay at Corvo Bianco permanently?

Yes, if you romanced her, Yennefer will stay at Corvo Bianco indefinitely once she moves there in the epilogue of the Blood and Wine expansion. She will only leave if you reload a save from before that point.

9. Why did Henry Cavill leave The Witcher series on Netflix?

Henry Cavill’s departure from the Netflix series is widely believed to be due to creative differences over the show’s direction, as he wished to stay closer to the source material of the books.

10. Is Ciri becoming Empress the best ending?

Whether Ciri becoming Empress is the “best” ending is subjective. It offers a safe and stable future for her, but it is not necessarily her preferred path, as she longs for adventure. Many fans prefer the ending where she becomes a Witcher.

11. What is considered the “best” ending in The Witcher 3?

The “best” ending is highly subjective. Many consider the Ciri Witcher ending to be the best because it allows her to lead a life of her own choosing and that is most like Geralt’s. However, others might prefer the Empress Ciri ending, or the ending where Geralt settles down with his romance partner. The ideal end depends on personal preference.

12. Can you find Ciri after beating the game?

Similar to Yennefer, Ciri does not exist in the world after the main game. She will appear in the epilogue of Blood and Wine, but it is also determined by your choices during the main game. You cannot just find her randomly walking around after the main storyline.

13. What are some activities to do after beating The Witcher 3?

After beating The Witcher 3, there is a wealth of content still available, such as completing side quests and expansions, completing Monster Contracts, embarking on Treasure Hunts, or pursuing 100% completion of the game. You can also start a New Game+ for a fresh experience.

14. Is Corvo Bianco worth upgrading fully?

Yes, fully upgrading Corvo Bianco is well worth the investment as it gives the player a place to relax and offers various benefits, and is also necessary to gain the maximum effect of the expansion.

15. Why do Witchers not have children?

Witchers do not have children because of the magical mutagens they undergo during the Trial of the Grasses. Similarly, female witchers are incredibly rare, likely due to the lethal effects of the trials on them.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while you won’t find Yennefer wandering the world after the main story, she is indeed available to you in specific locations and scenarios. Your choices, especially those concerning romance and DLC progression, are crucial in determining whether she graces the halls of Corvo Bianco. The game is designed to make your decisions meaningful, and the presence (or absence) of Yennefer in the epilogue is a testament to that design. Understanding this allows you to plan your playthrough to achieve your desired outcome and the chance to reunite with the sorceress you love.
