Choices

Objective 4 Choice: Dealing with Bart

Picking the option I need her. will make Geralt lose his patience and will start a fight with Bart the troll. We do not recommend doing this because Bart does not drop any loot, and just wastes your time.

The option I want to help her. will make Bart sympathize with Geralt's intentions to help. Bart will let you pass without having to fight him.

Objective 6 Choice: Dijkstra in the way

The option Tell you what the emeperor's after if you let us go. will make Geralt tell Dijkstra about his conversation with Emhyr regarding Ciri's future. This option will unlock the Secondary Quest: Reason of State if you have accomplished the pre-requisites for this quest.

Picking the other option will make Geralt shove away Dijkstra and will break his other leg
