Should I Accept the Drink from Menge?

▶

Accepting the drink from Menge is a crucial decision in the game, as it can lead to a fight or a conversation depending on the player’s choice, and it is recommended to accept the drink with the dialogue choice – “Why not” to move the conversation forward. By doing so, the player can potentially avoid a fight and progress through the story, but it’s essential to be cautious of Menge’s intentions and seek payment for Triss with the dialogue choice – “Your hunters are torturing Triss, but I haven’t been paid” to ensure a smooth storyline.
