I've had alot of worse endings than this. Usually it ends with Geralt dying after jumping down a 2 meter ledge when taking a shortcut.

Several months later geralt wakes up from dead because he suddenly remembers the 20 buck dlc he bought from Toussaint

Werewolf: Why do you seek the crone? Geralt: She has a unique Gwent card

What's worse is Geralt is level 31 and those drowners and ghouls are like level 5-6. Meaning he had to suffer before dying from those 11 damage attacks.

I thought I got a bad ending when Gerald told the Emperor that Ciri was dead. Then I went to the inn in White Orchard.

I thought Ciri had died in mine, but then she appeared in a tavern and became a witcher :D

“You lie, I don’t feel a thing anymore” But when he comes across the wolf medallion he breaks down, heart wrenching stuff

"Did you kill the last crone?" "Yes" "What did it cost? "Everything"

And then Geralt drinks a drowner pheromones potion and all the creatures give gim a big hug

"Witchers never die in their own beds"

Everyone's talking about how heartbroken Geralt was but I found it really badass that Geralt and a werewolf fought together.

Geralt was so sad that drowners went to comfort him.

Now imagine getting this ending the first time you play, you'll end up being traumatized for a week, like me.

The zoom out of the house while the Monsters are closing in is Oscar worthy

[Crone dies] ... Game: Do you want the good news first or the bad news? Player: I'll take the good news first. Game: You hit level 31 and you have two ability points to spend! Player: That's great! What's the bad news? Game: Um ...

At my first play. Baron died his wife died Ciri died Gerald died Keira Metz died İts like everybody died

I needed to watch this, because, i can't do it in my game

Geralt: I have nothing to keep living for. Triss / Yennefer: Am I a joke to you?

Berem, the most sympathetic and clever werewolf ever, giving Geralt legit recommendation

That anger shout at 11:29 straight killed me. Geralt feels so sad and angry, they did a very masterpiece with him in this ending

The fact that her last thoughts are of Geralt hurting her feelings is so impossibly sad. It's worse than the death itself. She died to save a world she felt unloved in, thinking everyone in her life just used her for power and coin

"And You Are afraid...You Feel Fear." "You Lie, I don't Feel a Thing Anymore."

Imagine unintentionally getting this ending... FeelsBadMan Damn. It's enough to break your heart.

Geralt was just meditating to replenish his potions. Those drowners and ghouls woulda died quick once he busted a Whirl inside that hut.

People say they replay witcher 3 to try out different endings..I honestly go for the same goddamn path everytime because the others are just too painful. Edit: wow wtf lol 4.6k likes lmao

"I've no strenght to hunt humans." *runs faster than ever 3 minutes later*

The ending with ciri is such a strong analogy to parenthood. To love your children but not to the point you imprison them. As Vesemir told ciri in his last moment, "Now fly!" Just like a little bird finally taking flight from its parents' nest. Zireael... Swallow.... 🕊️

The saddest but best written ending IMO

Thank god, there is no "Restore Ciri's Medallion from Crones" achievement.

of course the ending i get after 50+ hours is the shittiest, saddest ending ever. OF FUCKING COURSE

I got the ending where he lies that she's dead and she becomes a witcher. But I started crying when I thought she was dead. I was so shocked because I thought I made such good decisions - but then I was so relieved and glad it was the ending I got.

“What do you know about saving the world? You’re but a Witcher” *Ouch*

He actually called her 'his daughter" in this one. *lie on the ground, try not to cry, cry a lot*

I ended up with this ending my first play through, I didn’t feel right for like two days

My feelings about the Ending Here I am, devastated, the only word I can describe how tragic and bitter this ending left me. Seeing a man with nothing left, and nothing inside. He had done so much, good and bad, in this unforgiving world. He figured he would do good when he could, but it turns out that his choices weren’t black and white and they hurt the one he cared and loved the most. What hurts more than seeing this very strong man, let himself get executed by the same creatures he hunted, was that it was all his fault. Maybe if he had done something different things would have changed. The only thing he could do now is to gather the last memento of his fallen family. He had done so much for the very same people who would turn their back on him. He wasn’t either a human, or a creature. The only ones he could turn to are a dying species, all the rest killed by the very same people they helped protect. He didn’t want the same for her, she was the only thing he had left, and his feeling or lack thereof was what made it certain she was gone. In the end, no witcher dies in his bed. Now for my personal feelings about the matter. I spent a lot of time completing this game and I always strived to immerse myself. I figure Geralt was a mercenary and his main objective aside from his family would be his work, and no one better there was. Barely any gratitude for him risking his neck, but it was what he was best at. Underneath the veil of toughness and his nonchalant attitude, one of a hardened veteran, there was a veil of good intentions and kindness. At least I figure that is who he was based on the story around me, and I made choices accordingly. The dialogue was so extraordinary I actually did feel immersion and laugh at the wit and quip of the characters and world he interacted with. He had fought for those who couldn’t defend themselves and those of vast innocence as he judged the world not by appearances, race, or status but by their actions. When he finally found Ciri, he ( me ) could not stand to lose what was the only thing that gave me hope in such an unforgiving world. I swore I would always be by her side and help her whenever I could, I would remind her that she had a gift like no other, I did try to encourage her own actions and I agreed she could do her own thing. But I made the mistake of overprotecting her in the important crucial moments. Those that Ciri looked back on and did not let her grow, thus she didn’t believe in herself. That’s exactly what hit me the hardest, even after all Geralt ( I ) did and had thought was the right decisions, they left me with nothing but suffering. In the end, It was all for nothing, whether Geralt tried to be a better person, kill kings or creatures, ask for money or humility, love someone simple or someone complicated. Ciri saved the world but what did Geralt do? He was just a Witcher. With all that said, I would be lying if it didn’t leave me depressed in some way. Few games have if any have left me in this state of emotions, and for that, I applaud the Witcher III and the Polish developers, for creating a media that stand above their peers in dialogue and world-building. I thank them for putting so much effort into their game and all the details (lots which will go unappreciated) they decided to implement. This game opened up a passion for the high fantasy lore (dragons, medieval times, etc) I did not know I needed. I won’t have as much time to indulge in replaying it, and while I wish I could have gotten a less bitter ending, I know it would have not impacted me as much. Thank you CD Projekt Red.

I will post what I saw somewhere that pretty much describes the werewolf/Geralt situation at the end: It is a metaphor for Geralt but it goes a little bit deeper than that. The fact that he finds himself in the company of a werewolf suggests that Geralt has come to realize that he has more in common with the monsters that he has sworn to destroy than the humans he has sworn to protect. The trapped Wolf symbolizes Geralt himself, ensnared and ultimately slain by those he holds dear. The words spoken by the werewolf, "I used to dream wolf dreams, now I dream hunger, pain, and blood," shows Geralt's downward decline after failing to save Ciri. The man's words also show Geralt's emotional fall: "She's ragin', knows she's as good as dead but has yet to accept it." Geralt sees himself in the Wolf and that is why he strikes the man, as if to prove to himself that he's not as dead as he feels inside. He kills ten men to try to end his suffering, as if slaughter is the only thing that he knows. The werewolf tries to make him consider the cub, the monster expressing more morality than the man, but Geralt is bent on vengeance. All he can do is kill. During the fight against the crone, Geralt tries to tell the werewolf to back away and not interfere because he hates the idea that he has common cause with one of his enemies. It forces him to realize even further what a monster he has become. It is truly a very harsh ending for a character (and the player who played him) who tried to make the right choices and failed doing the only thing that really mattered, which was making Ciri believe in herself. In the end, the wolf shows more humanity in his anxiety over the wolf cubs than Geralt show for the men he slays. He is one part monster, and one part man, but doesn't belong among either. The only real victory exists in his acquiring of Ciri's pendant but it doesn't grant him the cathartic release that he requires, as evidenced by his final collapse into agony, head in hands, mourning the only daughter that he'll ever know...

I actually feel sorry for anyone who got this ending, it literally must of ruined the game for you... In a good way...emotionally

“A Witcher who has nothing to lose” “Is the most dangerous Witcher”

This is the most underrated end. Very emotional and well done. Outstanding

my first thought reading the title: HOW CAN YOU FUCK UP THAT BAD

There needs to be an ending where the Wild Hunt wins because Geralt spent too much time playing Gwent.

I got this ending on my first playthrough. Not because I was an arse, but over protective and too serious for Ciri. It helped me with some real life lessons too like helping to cut people some slack, enjoy the moment and to have faith in them. Like to think I did learn from this in any case.

Also it's like Geralt is speaking to himself and the player when he lasts speaks to the werewolf. "Find a werewife, save the cub, go far away" (Perfect ending)

"You lie, I don't feel a thing anymore". Dood suicidal Geralt is a badass.

That ending is just so painful to watch.

Ciri isn’t dead, she’s just bounty hunting in Night City.

You want a real worst ending ? - Take the Money and don´t look any further for the lost Sister (First Werewolf Quest) - kill the Botchling ("unborn" from the Bloody Baron") - Make Philip Strenger hang himself (Bloody Baron, free the Dark Spirit in the Trees / Muhmen Quest) - Send Keira Metz to Radovid (tell her it´s a "good" idea) - Don´t Help Triss Merigold or the other Mages - Make a sad play in the Theater (choose to play a Tragedy) - Get the "wrong" Murderer in Novigrad (let the Vampire life/asume it was Nathaniel in the Rittersporn Quest) - Let Cerys & Hjalmar die (don´t help them in their Quests, and after the massaker Ignore it) - Let Radovid be alive (don´t help Djikstra & the others) - Tell Yen "to go to Hell" , ok basicly u just say "I don´t love u" but u get the hang of the idea (Djin Quest) - Kill in both Succubus Witch Hunter Quests the "Ladys" (one in Novigrad, the other on Skellige) - Kill all Trolls in the Witch Hunter Quests or Normal Quests (basicly ever Troll who allows conversation) - Let Lambert die in Kaer Morhem (In Battle, if Vesimir advices u to help him, refuse, go elswhere killing Wild Hunt Folks) - Sell out Ciri to Emhyr (take the Gold with pleasure) - Let Ciri die (make the worst decisions) - No Romance with Shani (just don´t !) - Let Gounter O´Dim take Olgierds Soul (don´t help Olgierd in the last moment) - Visit the "Old One" , or Vampire Master who´s able to summon Detlaff (the option that Regis realy don´t like) - Let Anarietta and her Sister die (safe Syanna from Detlaff but do the wrong answers afterwards) So far so good, I did it once and, what can I say ? Does the Devil feels bad about being himself , I don´t think so. That nasty grin in ur face, after u realize on what pile of corpses u are walking. ps: It´s a Game in the very end, never forget that. No one forces u to play this ending - it´s your very own decision.

I got this ending while trying to make Ciri the empress. I worked with the emperor and believed I did everything right. But looking back on it I failed. I always told Ciri what to do, always held her hand and led her the way I wanted. It was always about what I wanted. Because of this she did not believe in herself, I had planted doubts in her mind which resulted in her not coming back from the storm. And I keep thinking back to our last moment. I didn't want her to risk her life stopping the storm, it was the crown I wanted for her, and as she chooses to go I am speechless and say nothing. I wanted to wish her luck, but I couldn't find the words thus I stood there in silence. I played with the feelings of Triss and Yen... and drove them both away. All I have are regrets and sadness as I walk the decaying castle of Kaer Morhen. I think about Ciri, Vesimir, the decline on the witchers. Everyone I cared for is gone, driven away and I am all alone. I never wanted it to end like this, yet it did. This playthrough has been an eye-opening experience. I was very immersed in the story and the outcome was a perfect example that actions have consequenses. Allthough I meant well, I failed to realise what was most important. My egoistic way of thinking lead me to this ending. A beatiful and heart-wrenching experience and the best RPG I've played to this date.

If you get this Ending Ciri didn’t die, she just went to stay in the cyberpunk world and we’ll see her in 2077

I didn't want Ciri to find out we raised her boyfriend from the dead, so I told her we couldn't visit his grave. Apparently, that didn't matter and we both died.

In my personal opinion this is my favourite of all the possible endings. Years ago when I first played this game I received this ending and it left me heartbroken. But despite this feeling of grief I couldn't believe how a game could evoke such powerful emotions from me. This ending is sad, but its also beautiful.

ffs i got this ending on my first attempt, now i wont play again for some time, im ruined inside

When Geralt throws the sword at her that was so bad ass. Sad ending tho. You could tell he was really losing his mind.. like he wanted to die

I feel really bad for anyone who simply made the wrong choices and got this ending. Think about how devastating/sad that would be after investing so much time, so many hours, and all your emotions into the game. And let's be real: without a guide of some kind, it wouldn't be hard to do on your first playthrough, as only *one* of the choices is obvious (visiting Ciri's friend's grave with her). This would be utterly heartbreaking. If this happened to you, I'm really sorry/hope you loaded up an earlier save and fixed things.

Hey I just finished my first playthrough 200 hours in, dlcs completed and all. This was my ending and want to share my thoughts. I feel an incredible amount of sorrow and sadness for Geralt, to never show emotions, for being a witcher, to have lost the only person in which his love was never questioned... his last scene sitting with her medallion killed me. I feel like I wont replay nor further explore this game in a long time, I won't forget this feeling. Dont get my wrong, it is perhaps the best game/story I experienced in my life, but my heart cant take this. I encourage you to help any young witchers outside who are new to this tale, to suggest them to avoid this ending at any cost, it will at least make for it a more pleasant experience.

Wow, I seriously didn't know the endings could differ this much, I'm kind of impressed. I got the ending when Ciri became a witcher, and Geralt and Yen became a couple.

This was the ending I got the first time I played the game. A part of me died.... i can still feel the hole it left. I played again though to get the good one... but still the hole is left.

o.m.g. thanks so much for posting this. that was profoundly intense and sad.

After reading the book, idk why but I feel this is the proper ending. It seems like everything built up to ciri giving her life to save the world.

Do not worry, Gerald died 1.000 times while I played with him. He will again respavn after a bad end game! :D

I call this ending "World's Worst Dad Award."

Now that I've gotten that ending, i kinda have no motivation for the 2 dlcs knowing i wasn't a good father

I thought Ciri died in my game, so I replayed the entire part where Ciri was in the game. I got the same ending and I was angry, but I accepted it. Then I discovered she wasn’t dead and she became a Witcher. Luckily it’s not a bad thing to replay this game ❤️

I can understand how some people feel that this ending fits the witcher world better but nah, f this. Too painful, and Geralt has been through a lot of pain already. The man deserves a better ending.

“Stole my daughter’s medallion” , “Daughter’s” !!!!!! Hnnng mah heart ♥️✨♥️😭

So glad I got this ending, it’s so powerful I don’t mind that things ended the way they did.

This was the ending in my first and so far only playthrough. It's been more than a year and I still can't make myself start another one. This ending is gut-wrenching and it crushed me, but it feels so real and... Right, even?

Anyone else get sorta teary eyed throughout this game? Certain moments really get me... For sure when Geralt finds Ciri's lifeless body, and holds her up... The first time I played that scene hit me right in the feels.

Few drowners and couple ghouls? pfft Geralt will just spin in circles and end up killing them all

To anyone still searching, the music at 12:23 is The Urn Full Of Sorrows.

Thanks for uploading these u r awesome

Why can't you retrive the medallion and kill the crone after the good ending... it should be his main quest to kill that evil pig.

"I don't feel a thing anymore" Damn it. Geralt's an edgelord now

yup, that's me. left me traumatized that I don't even feel like continuing into DLC.. the only reason keeping me going is NG+ after it.

The ending I will never forget but want it to be erased from my memories. This is brutal, painful and heartbreaking. I was so depressed that I chose what I thought was right, but turned out to be completely wrong. It forced me to reload my old saves and do everything right. The depression was real...

Wish there was a way to kill this last Crone without this ending.

Wow. That’s the only time I’ve seen Geralt get emotional and panicked - as he sweeps the shelves clear, and hurriedly tries to open the chest - and man does it hit hard. Everything, from that little detail of him only now calling her his ‘daughter’, is painfully beautiful here. Fathers, train your children to be strong - knowing they’re loved, and able to receive help when they need it, absolutely - but also confident in the knowledge that they’ve got what it takes. In my opinion, this is why Geralt needs to step back a little and let Ciri make her own decisions. We need to know we have what it takes. Personally, I love what CDPR did with choices and how they impact Ciri’s fate. Moves me to be better. Don’t know what great art is, if not that.

I'm glad I can watch this ending here so I can at least know what it's like, because I will never personally be able to make myself do it. I'd rather set myself on fire than intentionally hurt Ciri, I swear

I remember playing the Witcher 3 for the first time and getting this ending, I remember my reaction being one of confusion and anger exactly what I think Geralt felt in his last moments

I actually cried when I got this ending, It was the first time I ever beat the game and it was heartbreaking to see geralt crying as he held ciri’s medallion to his forehead as he was being swarmed by monsters but the part that had gotten me the most upset and emotional was that he did not even fight back I did not even understand at first what I did to make this ending happen

This ending is so sad but probably the most badass. Geralt goes berserk I love it.

Geralt's and Ciri's story is literally heart touching

Although this is the worst ending, for me, personally, it is the most satisfying. Since I first met the Crones that I wanted to shove my sword in their face. Nevertheless, the fact that Ciri doesn't come back and how badly it damaged Geralt is heartwrenching. You know its a good game when it spikes true emotion in you.

I've never seen this ending... this is dark, like really Fucking dark

This was the first ending I got but it was hard not to be blown away. Also the last scene is probably referencing what dandelion talked to him about in the book, about retiring to a little shack in the woods to wait out his death after living past his usefulness.

Man, I salute you. The community you've built, it's like the best side of humanity and you can see it in people's words ♥️

really glad i didn't get this ending i would of been super depressed lol

I will pretend Geralt has a bad dream before going to kaer morhen, then I'll reload the save file before battle of kaer morhen. And Geralt will learn from that dream to change the future ! >:)

Can't imagine if i witness this ending. Might feel empty and depressed for a month. So glad i saw ciri on tavern with geralt.

Best ending all the time I don't feel a thing anymore.........

Even though this is sad, it's a pretty badass ending tbh

This ending is absolutely haunting holy shit. I am actually relieved I didn't get this one first time around.

The music starts playing as Ciri steps into the portal is so emotional... thr fact that it is the same melody with the battle in Kaer Morhen makes a damn storm in the eyes

Even though the Witcher 3 is the first in the series that I've played, I never played a game as immersive as this one. With each action having consequences that can completely change the way the story moves on in the game is a truly superb attention to detail, that alone made me question myself a number of times before deciding on a matter in the game; it's as close to real-life as any game have gotten me to feel like. Fantastic story telling, and may I say that the part that immersed me the most was the talk with the bloody baron, never felt that much emotionally attachment to a fictional character, in some cases I feel more attached to the characters in the game then to real life persons. When Vesemir died it got me into a bad mood to say the least, and I'm not a highly emotional person. Even seeing this ending ruined my mood for a bit, without even experiencing it myself. This game is without a doubt the best game that I've ever player in it's category and in general, it's as close to perfect that a game could get from my experience. Sadly I cannot write enough about how great this game is and the qualities that I've mentioned above are little when compared to the game as a whole. Excellent job on this one.

You can sense the sorrow and coldness in his voice alone... It's fucking devastating. In the end he became the very thing he was destined to fight.

This one is very emotional as well :( I would've regretted my decisions so much if that was my "canon" ending.. But still I love it in a way

"none of your ploughin concern" FAMOUS LAST WORDS

11:30 Just realized that I have never seen or heard Geralt display this much emotion.

- And you are afraid... You feel fear. - You lie. I don't feel a thing anymore.
