The true evil choice here is that haircut
Chase Wages I know this is an old comment, but I was kinda sick of Geralt’s ponytail for some reason, so to each his own I suppose
Should have a mustache too
Nah
real talk. he looks so dumb with short hair
i like shaved head and pony tail. that looks badass
David Alhorn That haircut doesn't suit light armor but it looks badass in Heavy ones,like the Undvik armor. Personally like it a lot too
It’s not really an “evil” ending. The baron and Anna die, but you save half a dozen (probably more in the future) children from being eaten by the crones. Also, keep in mind that the villagers are the same folks giving the crones children in the first place, they had it coming.
Yeah, fuck those villager sacrificing there own children to the crones, lol that's why I free the spirit in my second playthrough.
Ryzen Nah , the children are orphans anyway, and Geralt and Ciri kill the Crones later on so no more kids will die. Also you are releasing a malevolent spirit that already wipes out a village and can continue doing whatever it wants. Also if you read one of the in game books you find out the spirit is the crones mom and it says that she is more evil than them
@@prophetfuture9225 Well, you're forgetting a couple of details.
First, the spirit destroys Downwarren specifically because its inhabitants tried to kill her multiple times while she was still trapped in the tree. The Crones probably ordered them do so, but you could still consider the spirit's actions as a personnal vendetta. Considering this, what else could make you assume that she will just run around Velen slaughtering random villages in her path ? As far as we know, she always kept her word.
Secondly, that book you mentionned ("She who knows") coicidentally demonizes the spirit of the forest while depicting the Crones as generous and benevolent beings. It is a piece of propaganda that was more than likely written by the Crone worshippers in Downwarren.
I killed the spirit tree, and I will kill the Crones in the later stage with ciri as well. I definitely has got the best ending.
@@prophetfuture9225 When you go to kill the crones with Ciri, she mentions that the elf taught her about the crones destroying the druid circle that watched over Velen. Let’s also remember that when you find the spirit’s bones, Geralt remarks that they’re not human. The tree spirit isn’t inherently malicious the way the crones are, it’s some sort of entity that operates on a different sense of morality. Think of it as a magically induced natural disaster; Downwarren’s destruction was less of a vendetta and more of a rebalancing of the natural order to weaken the crones.
Also, I know the Baron is a complex character looking for redemption, but let’s look at his actual behavior. His wife and daughter left him because of his actions, and the way he threatens to whip the survivors of Downwarren for more information (literally kicking them while they’re down) shows that he’s really not as reformed a man as he claims to be. Wanting to change and actually following through are two different things.
It sucks that he kills himself in this ending, but that was his choice. His wife seemed to be somewhat forgiving in the end, and while Tamara was still angry, at least he knew where she was and there was still the possibility of reconciliation. But it wasn’t easy, not as easy as getting drunk and destructive like he usually does (killing his wife’s childhood friend/lover right in front of her instead of working on the relationship like healthy adults, burning down the stables with people and horses inside, literally everything that earned him the name Bloody Baron), and so we have this sort of hari kiri situation instead.
I also doubt whether the “wise man in the blue mountains” could lift the curse if Geralt couldn’t. Being their “beast until the end” doesn’t just refer to being a water hag, she was their “beast of burden,” their servant, as evidenced by the seal on her hand. Maybe the death of the crones would lift the curse, but only two crones die. The only way to kill the third comes at an even higher price to Geralt.
So yeah, Downwarren and the Baron’s suicide were unexpected and unfortunate consequences, but that doesn’t make this an “evil” outcome. From the moment I saw the orphans, I knew the crones were planning to eat them and I had to save them somehow. Downwarren and the Baron made their choices, made their deals with the devil both literally and metaphorically, but those orphans didn’t choose this. That, to me, makes the sacrifice worthwhile.

+TriEdgeM yep ;] happens sometimes
Also seconds after the one frame of 2 guys standing on the right, WTF?
XD
I'm honestly glad that they made the Witch Hunters at least somewhat sympathetic with Graden, Tamara's commanding officer. Perfect for a game mired in moral grey areas, where good and evil are hardly ever truly discernable. And even the "best" endings are usually bittersweet.
Too bad that the ending where the Baron takes his wife to see some hermit healer doesn't go anywhere. The just disappear, Tamara leaves with the Witch Hunters and Geralt is on his way.
+Corristo89 the ONLY time witch hunters did what they suppose to do, hunt EVIL witches (crones), the rest of the time i give their eternal fire right back at them
In witcher 1 they also did pretty decent job of cleaners, but fucked up unhumans just as much. Siegfried was the only normal guy I ever met amont them)
'Doesn't go anywhere'
It may seem like that at first, but after reading the Bio it somewhat gives you a bit of closure. The way the game itself portrayed it seemed as though he might be back, like he was popping down the the local healer to fix his wife up good as new.
Whereas, in reality, he set out on an hopeless quest to the 'ends of the earth' in order to try find help for his wife. He knew the odds of finding anything were very slim, but there's a spark of hope that keeps him going.
Graden is pretty much like Commander Shepard in this, doing a loyalty mission for a fellow "squad mate".
@@Baron0009 Same character model, different character. Just dev laziness.
That persistent clicking on the Baron xD "Uh huh uh huh uh huh"
it's a thing I do ;]
@@xLetalis It's something I abused in DA 2, especially with a Rivaled Anders in ACT 1, always groaned to stop pestering him. Which made me click more cuz it was funny.
😂 😂 😂 😂 I died
There is no bad or good ending.. Anna might survive in another ending but there is no guarantee that she will have her consciousness. Atleast they had their goodbyes. As for Baron suicide, well you cannot blame Geralt in any way. It is Baron who feltt a huge fault for how he treated his family, his destiny was decided long ago. What if the hermit did not heal Anna, Baron would of hang himself up the same way.
There was a reason why the tree spirit slaughtered men in the village and those people werent saint. However, children of the swamp did not deserve to die, they were innocent and sent to the crones basically murdered by the people who were once called their parents. People who the tree spirit slaughtered.
All in all, one thing we know for sure. Geralt was forced to make a choice one or the other. As Geralt said "sometimes you have to make a choice and never look back".
well said. I've always been trying to avoid death in any way possible yet certain situations are just terrible. I love trying to turn "monsters" good if I can, but the crones are pretty bad. the druid is kinda mysterious. was hoping for some sort of revenge mission on either one
Christian Robbins ngl I like killing things
Also if you read further into the barons story you can read that the baron became like this because Anna was cheating on him when he was away in the wars
spirit is more evil than her daughters tho
No matter how you spin it, everyone involved has blame and everyone deserves sympathy. The root of it all was the sisters imprisoning their mother's spirit but even that was done as a last resort.
I guess Graden is the only decent person in all Witch Hunters
I let my friend grab the controls for one minute and now the bloody baron's dead.
Vegetarian Soylent-Green lmao
he will not be missed.
I let my friend grab the controls for one minute and now my horse in RDR2 is dead. Before that, he also got Cerys as queen. I wanted fucking Svanrige.
I did this thinking the children would live, but this ending tore me up. It was the first main quest I ever did in this game, and I was genuinely upset when the Baron and Anna died. This guy who had shown to be one of the most complex characters in the game, and when he died I didn’t want to return to Crow’s Perch after that. I saved a few people from rape and robbery, but that was it. No point resting where devils lie.
The Bloody Baron's one of my favorite characters in the game.Also one of the things I love about the game: beautifully developed characters!
mine as well
@@xLetalis so you love alcoholic men also who beat his wife. nice. cool. his daughter hates him. his daughter! because what he did her mother. get your shit together and please, stop loving him.
Can Ceyhan He tries to redeem himself and stops drinking before this. He even goes so far as to help his wife get her sanity back if she lives. Now leave her alone she can like whatever character she wants.
@@zerosorigin8387 yea yea. Its free world ofc she can like whatever she want i dont i didnt mean you cant like him. There are too many men who beats also killes their wifes so i dont have mercy for that kind of men thats all.
Seeing the replies here I think I need to clarify something. I simply meant this side quest is one of my favorites. And the reason of him being one of my favorites is because how dynamic the character was developed. Not black and white but showed different aspects of a character. Showed his side of the story which immediately sets this game apart from another generic hero is perfect, villain is all bad kind of story. We have enough of those. Not to justify what he did, how can anyone? But humans are complex. I appreciate the game, or the book, dev for the character development. Haven't read the books so I can only speak about the game. Hope that makes sense.
I had a bad feeling about this spirit in my first walkthrough, I don't regret killing it there, even though the children die, the ultimate result of freeing the spirit is worse.
+xLetalis found a book before i went to this spirit, which tells you that the spirit ist the mother of the crones and even more crazy and evil. so it wasnt a hard choice
+xLetalis I thought the crones were way worse, i didn´t like the tree spirit, but i wanted to sabotage the crones in any way. Unfortunately it didn´t go as deep as i hoped for this side. I hoped the tree spirit would kill the crones. As Geralt said, it was a choice between greater and lesser evil, although i did know both were evil, i didn´t expect the tree spirit to be worse, but the opposite.
+xLetalis Im doing my second playthrough now on NG+ and trying, really trying to make different choices as opposed to my first playthrough but they just seem sooo badd and hard to do!
+Rokie88 that's what's good about it ;]
+xLetalis sucks that all the cool things r evil.
Geralt looks wrong with this hair...
like unshaved jemme lanister
or like an old lesbian lol. NO
How do you even get that hair style? I literally have no idea its its a default one or a mod.
I know about the 16 free dlc project. Im referring to that one specific haircut, i can't seem to find that exact one.
It's too shiny
On my 23rd playthrough, I managed to free the spirit AND baron and his wife lived. I simply stumbled across the whispering hillock before I met the baron for the first time... I entered, asked about the crones, didn't say I was sent there to kill it (wasn't an option), and freed the spirit! Then as you progress through the story line, the crones don't accuse Anna of screwing up, hence don't punish her, and she ends up happily ever mad with her baron.
maybe i'm wrong but i think i read somewhere that even though you save the spirit there the children die anyway
they only survive in the quest when you help the spirit in order for him to free the children - it would make sense
so yeah.... they still get the bad ending here :D
Soldier of Feels killing it is good though.
23 playthroughs ?! That is crazy XD
Soldier of Feels I luckily did this on my first playthrough when I was looking for Places of Power and stumbled upon the whispering hillock
This is mustve what I had done because I had freed the ghost way before I did the crones bit. Pretty sure I had stumbled across it because I was trying to do all the question Mark's on the map and that was one of them
There is no good and evil choices with this one.
Only the lesser evil
Evil is Evil. Lesser. Greater. Middling. It's all the same.
The answer for the best choice of Bloody Baron's fate is the line "I'd rather not choose at all."
That's means you have to kill both of these evil (the Crones sisters and the spirit tree)
After all, I always chose to help Baron as much as I can because he's an Temerian first, then he was treat with Ciri like a child's of his friend of mine (Geralt) althought he never saw or knew Geralt before, that's showed he is an good man atleast.
Exactly, a witcher would never release a spirt
I released the spirit prior to meeting the bloody baron, in the end i got the 'good' ending where the baron goes to the hermit.
same here,.
Too bad we never see him again
If you meet the orphans in the swamp first and learn of what's to happen to them, you can make a deal with the spirit in the tree to rescue the orphans, which will set you down this path. If you do the tree quest first and choose to release the tree spirit, you don't know anything about the orphans yet so the tree spirit doesn't have to deliver the orphans from the witches.
That's the worst ending. The children die because the tree didn't use it as a barganing chip. She goes on to spread death and disease.
This is a bad thing! The children died and you realised a demon on these poor people,
Lol that one dude holding his sword over his shoulder at 7:20 to 7:30 is all like "Uh, yeah no I'm not fight that..." xD
I didn't finish this quest, so no one died. I did the BEST choice :p
still alive
UrGhost Yeah, me too!
Ya anna still dead and children got eaten 😑 i think is not a good chose
Actually, if you save the tree spirit before encountering the crones, you’ll get the best ending.
@@greatcesari Why free the crones mother is a best ending?
"Uh-huh, Uh-huh, Uh-huh Uh-huh.'
I don't get it
@@mikecy5685 1:52
I got this outcome on my first playthrough, the part when I came back and saw the baron had hanged himself left me genuinely scarred, I remember covering my mouth and gasping in shock, damn what a quest this was, left a huge impact on me
Yeah... this whole quest chain is likely my favorite in any game i've played :(
I saw and walked into his corpse to see if it had jiggle physics,it did and i laughed my socks off and continued wiggling his corpse for the the next 2 minutes before going to Fergus to sell my loot
Jonny was chill.... 'til he got his voice.....
InfiniteMischief lol true remind me on the scene of logan when the little girls start to talk for first time
It’s shit you can’t tell Sarah about Johnny
Best quest line ever. Though hearing Iorveth's voice actor always makes me wibble for what could have been.
I like this ending because it has a better written and more effective outcome. And I don't like the idea of the children being eaten.
Tbh, same here. Between this and the children all dying, I prefer this.
@Goliath Online Nah the spirit kept its word and kept the children safe, proving that it is trustworthy. And it only killed the people who wronged her and kept trying to kill it, the same people who sacrificed their children to the crones. Screw them. Baron will be replaced at some point and he was nothing more than an abusive drunk anyway, I have no problem with him being redeemed but I wouldn't weep over his death either. The wife being dead is the best outcome for her, her mind is broken and she's to far gone. Its better for her to be at peace. Besides if you free the tree spirit before going to the crones the baron and his wife will live. And most people Geralt saves and protects he knows nothing of anyway so that's a moot point.
@Goliath Online "once the baron comes back" when does that happen?
i remember that the village sacrifice children to the crones.
I killed the spirit because I know I will have the opportunity to kill the crones later. The way I see it, my choice of letting the orphans die allows me to wipe the board of all the dangerous pieces
8:30 "just look at her" yea nice little water hag u got there lol.
It's so crazy to see ALL the variety of this game. Like I have no idea what other quest options/results I missed out on by my choices
The Baron suffers. Anna suffers. Both from a botched marriage and miscarriage of their second child.
Anna was trying to get away from the Baron, trying to flee her old live, even going so far as wanting to abandon her unborn child.
Do I give the Baron the opportunity to take her back, against her will? Without her even being given opportunity to consent due to going insane at the loss of the children?
Or do I grant the family a swift end, lift the curse that binds Anna after the children escape, give her a few moments of clarity, to talk with Tamara, before she dies in peace and the Baron ends his own life due to grief, setting both Tamara free from both and saving the children of Crookbag Bog.
I feel like the choice is an easy one in that case, although certainly not a "good" one.
Im not gonna pity tamara when she decides to side with the eternal fire. Those witch hunters seem alright sure but that dont mean their devote believers dont torture the innocents
It is in fact a kind of mercy that baron hang himself after his wife dies, otherwise Geralt would just come back and ask him for a round of gwent casually, like a true mutated emotionless gwent machine
Gone back to this great game due to the quarantine, and I think killing the spirit is the Witcher's way of doing the mission. If I put myself in Geralt's place when talking with the spirit, there is no way of knowing that it will really save the children and will not betray Geralt. And as Geralt said in one of the mission endings, "Witchers were made to kill monsters. It doesnt matter who posted the notice, the coin has to be right, thats all...Their conscience plays no part..", this really sums up the witchers way of doing things. In the first place, Geralt doesn't know the true reason why the children is in the crones village and believing in the spirit is big gamble IMO.
I killed the spirit in my first playthrough as well
i enjoying your vids man, ty for them!
you're welcome ;]
holy heck this game is great :O
the storytelling is A+.
the whole quest around the bloody baron is so, so good
indeed! Possibly my favorite storyline and character in the game
How is this the evil choice like you state in the thumbnail?A lot would think saving a few kids is better than a man and woman. In the ending where the kids die, Crows perch is left to be looted too.
the spirit killed a whole village too...many children included...if you go back to downvaren or whatever it was...the elderman tells you that a black steed came and killed the whole village...that village had many children too...
+Kevin Anderson No direct indication they were alive while eaten
Enclave Trooper The quality of life is worse for the villagers if you free the spirit. The children were basically orphans and were likely to die anyway in the swamp. And betraying the village's deal with the crones causes the death of Baron and his wife.
The tree spirit is the evil indifference of nature, therefore abolishing it is good.
The crones can represent society/democracy agreeing on abortion. If Geralt or more so barons wife betray them, then they curse her.
Wrong. In both endings crow's perch is left to the sargeant. And releasing the spirit is going to spread a lot more death and trouble than those children are worth. Knowing the crones she probably just takes the children for herself and eats them anyway.
@@rickjohnson3171 The children are alive in novagrad
wow that shit was surprisingly dark wtf... xD
+RaVeN1K yep I love it ;]
+xLetalis Hey have you ever managed to figure out which one of the dolls were the correct one? OR is it that kind of choice where none of them truly matter.
In truth, it doesn't matter, for Anna will die anyway...Such is the wickedness cast from the Crones; they have a foolproof curse that makes sure Anna'll die even after it's lifted.
Welcome to the world of the Witcher.
Trailer narration at the end. Nice touch
Wow... First Time I See this ending. Always saved both of them... Had to cry... I Love the Barons Story it has everything
My father used to beat mom and me. Also had an extra marital affair. One day we got fed up and left. He committed suicide that night. In his note he wrote that he regretted everything and wished for a second chance. So ya know sometimes that's all that people need. That's also the reason why I love the Baron's story. It helped me get some insight on my father.
This isn’t the “evil” option, as neither option is ideal. If you don’t free the tree, you’re letting the children die. It’s a classic utilitarian dilemma.
Now I know that why the Witcher 3 is the game of the decade.
Bloody Baron was my favorite arc in this game along with Battle of Kaer Morhen. The storyline, the plot twist, the characters are great. Too bad the first time i played this game i got the bad ending and i replayed just to help the Baron reunite with his wife.
Yeah, could be my favorite as well
I was mildly disappointed at this part of the quest. I thought freeing that tree thing would open a whole new branch to the quest. Instead the tree thing becomes a dismissible mystery, everything happens off-screen and you're just told about it.
My thinking too. The sound effects and stuff were so cool I wanted to see more, even knowing it was evil. Then it just ran off. Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
Tree and branch lol
i love the witcher 3 soo much man, i never played any of the expansions and boy i cant wait til i do i heard they are really good
Did you ever play the expansions? Both of them are great
Why do you call it an evil choice? It was either let the kids be eaten or let the woman die .. there ain't no black and white here and that's the moral of the entire game
you're right
Both are bad though.
@@Ryzen1 depends on which one you think is "less bad"
@@erliLila yeah
Everybody else: “kill the tree spirit, it’s evil, literally like Hitler”
Me: “I dunno, he’s making a lot of good points”
The doll he was holding as he hanged himself just makes it so much more sad. I felt things.
I lucked out and killed the tree before I even spoke to the Crones. So technically speaking, the deaths of the children aren't on my shoulders. I had no way of knowing. I almost feel like that's better, because I think I would've had a really hard time picking between the children and an entire village/Anna.
Yeah, I wouldn't say Geralt is ever to blame for the deaths of the children. Making deals with an ancient evil that's been locked up ....
wtf kinda hair cut is this
Amos anna's hair got turned black after she became a water hag :(
Aaron Lee Idk if you're fucking with me or not, I was referring to Geralt's hair
***** I was
Aaron Lee damn it :(
This is actually a good ending except for the death of Baron. The couple forgives each other before death, and I think it's better than being a crazy old woman.
This is a great example of Hobson's Choice
At first I was convinced by the tree so I helped her, but not aware of the killing it had done and told me that it's natural, yet the suspicion I have with both sides somewhat bothers me, the tree convinced me, yet many had died with it and I do feel like the Crones gave me the info I need despite their wickedness. So there's really no black and white choice here, its all gray, and sometimes the outcome is distasteful yet it is what it is.
First time, I had gotten the baron killed which I found odd. Since her daughter is still alive to tend for her, I found it unsatisfying so I luckily saved at a point where I had to kill the spirit in the tree, and so I did. I had a better outcome, he's still alive and goes on to the blue mountains to heal her mind (which hopefully we'll see him in the sequel) all because I owe to barren for tending for ciri, It's like a Joel and Ellie redemption arc, and the barren admits his flaws in which he earned my respect for him.
No sequel chief
Dayum, Geralt even looks evil in this one
I got this ending in my first walkthrough. It's really hard to choose, both are evil. I think Geralt told Stregobor or Renfri, can't remember, that evil is evil, he doesn't want to choose. It's great CDPR gives you such hard choices, it's not obvious what the outcome will be.
I wouldn't call this the evil choice, just the bad ending. You spare the kids from being eaten, but then Anna pays the price. And the Baron who was already at the end of his rope (unfortunate pun) kills himself.
Got this ending in my 2nd gameplay ..... was shocked that man like him could suicide & ofcourse geralt's line after that "if i'm to choose between greater & lesser evil... " that really made me sad
I dont think this as the evil choice. How could I ever know that freeing the spirit would cause one woman to get cursed and die and one man to hang himself.
Yeah, there is no good choice here
I think I prefer this ending.
If anna stays crazy, Tammy would keep hating her father until she die because to her it is all her father's fault. Then if the hermit lifts the curse she won't be able to say goodbye to Tammy and the Baron will still kill himself.
So, I prefer that Anna made a proper goodbye to her family.
I always tell the spirit i ll help it, and when it opens that exit i start slashing at it
I thought for so long Mark Addy voiced the Baron.
Am I crazy because I seem to recall in my first playthrough back in 2015 that The Baron appeared in the list of people to recruit for the Kaer Mohren showdown however it was red because he had hung himself. In subsequent playthroughs, I've tried to get him to live and recruit him but haven't been able to. Was this option removed in an update or did it never even exist and I am just remembering wrong?
Thanks to Netflix, I’m currently playing the complete PS4 Witcher edition. So ended up killing the evil spirit because I’d rather have one lessor evil roaming around rather then both tree and 3 crones alive. Allowing the evil spirit to spread havoc wherever it went was a no go. It was a conflicting choice as the children were sacrificed. But the consolation was Geralt going back to the 3 crones and threatening to kill them. *spoiler* Depending on your choices, eventually Geralt and Ciri will have the opportunity to kill the crones
He's the best of all.
9.30 I was expecting him to burst out and go Here's johnny
Lol Geralt with the Billy Bob Thornton haircut is killing me!
Honestly I like this ending the best. Really fits the dark tone of the game.
I fucked this up one time, trying to make this choice to save the children. I accidentally met the tree spirit too early, but just moved on. When I got back to it during the mission it didn't offer to save the children, so Downwarren was slaughtered, AND the children were eaten.
At least Phillip and Anna survived
oh well :(
That soundtrack :'( gonna miss it
My first playthrough ever sadly ended like this, I was so upset D::::
That's my favourite haircut lmao
This Baron quest its a game on its own.
I missed this quest line twice...dang!
you never went to help the baron find his wife!
@@xLetalis you know I remember getting that I think - I went onto other quests after I found Tamara. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to play a 3rd time ; )
This might actually be the best ending for this quest
Nah you can free both the kids and anna, and save the baron. But Anna goes crazy and the baton goes far off with her to get her therapy

@@christianrodriguez5069 If you chose to kill the spirit and go back to the Crones, they'll reference those kids as "sweet as pig roast" or something. So, clearly those kids were consumed by the Crones.
@@brutalnoodles I'm not entirely sure because in the cutscene I said I freed the spirit, and they were freaking out about the children being gone. So I assumed they were cool. But I don't see them later for when you do save them. So maybe they disappeared with the willow spirit?? Because the crimes didn't eat them.
I had a bad feeling about that tree, good thing I killed it
Franspai As soon as I heard his voice I knew he had to die.
He ? It literally calls it a she in the game... Lol
Hit it by accident see if i could fight him
I just started Witcher 3 for the first and this quest line was REALLY GOOD...amazing story telling. I free the tree spirit ...not sure that was the best idea.
I haven't done this. Now I dont think I could...
At least Anna isn't stuck alone with her tormentor while not being sound of mind.
I was gonna release the spirit but then it told me that I had to find things and I just couldn't be bothered to so i killed it and I'm happy the baron lived
The Bloody Baron and Olgierd van Everec were two of the best NPC's I've every saw in a Game.
(slightly above Jackie Welles, Elizabeth and Cayde 6)
“Uh huh”
he reminds me of that guy from game of thrones
I wanna play this game so badly
go ahead
I eventually came to the village byaccident and the quest started, after i collected a monster reward I left and then realized the quest failed lmao
Geralt: Because it wasn't wolves. Get ready. (Quen)
This is probably why you can't get help from the baron in the fight against the Wild Hunt in Kaer Mohren despite him being alive if you killed the tree spirit.
I wonder what will happen if you banish hermit girl from haunted house in Novigrad before this quest (if it is even possible).
geralt looked like the old noctis haha
This what happened to me on my first walkthrough
I killed the tree spirit (so the traumatised unstable orphans died), but the Baron's wife lived, he took her to the hermit healer guy
lmao when the baron died the only thing i was mad about is that i cant get his gwent card damnit
you can get it at his desk I believe
xLetalis yeah I’m more mad about that goddamn ball I didn’t know there were exclusive cards there 😤
@@Stark-ph5et ball?
xNAMx10 that ball you go to at the huge manor with truss for a side quest. There are like two different players there and it is only open for like the fifteen minute duration of the mission

At first i decided to help the spirit but then i was like "Naaaaah 2 much work 4 me" so i killed it and yeah. The only thing i regret is the ending cinematic.
That's exactly me
Damn, didn't know that Geralt was a DMC fan!
Did this option my second playthrough. I'm sitting there like "Ooh, if you hurt Johnny, I'm gonna murder the shit out of EVERYTHING."
1st playthrough the Baron and his wife lived, didn't realize there was another ending to this quest. Yikes
I was done with Baron. So he asked me to come with him. I had helped the Baron enough so to find solace he needed to work himself. I had other evils to counter. At least saved the kids. I think I can deal with the consequences.
bloody baron's wife really is a beauty ;)
Just playing it for the first time and got this ending lmfao
geralt had that haircut while smoking weed endlessly
thats why you should never trust creepy tree dudes in the swamp
Okay, I freed the tree spirit since I have back up saves just so to see these scene but what an utter turn of event, Anna is not a water hag. The village is burned by a black mare yet Baron still takes Anna to the blue mountains and both live. Is this a glitch outcome? The orphans are saved by the spirit, demolished the village who do sacrifices and manage to see Baron took Anna to the healer at the mountains.
I'm playing v1.00 so I know it's not an update. Something to do with venturing early in game. I remember doing all quest in Skellige first before even doing Velen and Novigrad.
(Hehe, I went to Skellige early to do the Tower Outtanowhere glitch and finally reach the Path of Warrior Glitch)
there, a way to save both kids and anna and the baron
The spirit doesn't save the children if you free it too early. The crones still eat them and that's why they don't curse Anna. On the other hand, this might just be how it was fixed in a later update, considering that you mentioned you're playing v1.00
Wow, I've done this mission a couple times, and never got this outcome. Only made it to her and she was just out of her mind. And yeah, that haircut is the worst lol.
4:19!OMG what's happening to her?!
