Browse all gaming. The Empress ending for Ciri is the trickiest to get. We give the keys to having Ciri survive her battle with the white frost and claiming her birthright as empress as Nilfguard.
If you made 3/5 positive choices and took Ciri to see her father, the empress ending is locked in. The only way to get the witcher ending after the empress ending is locked in is for Nilfgaard to lose the war (in which case she can't become empress as Nilfgaard collapses). The bad ending just requires 3/5 bad choices. Book spoilers, Ciri and rhe Nilfgaardian Empress. So one thing that bothered me in the books other than the incestous marriage that Emhyr wanted with Ciri, was the fact that he married a fake Cirilla Fiona. Who becomes the Empress and queen of Cintra and yada yada. Which is perfectly understandable and makes sense doesn't make any trouble with Geralt didn't force her to visit Emhyr, he only answer his opinion to Ciri, that she should see her biological father, because it could be they last meet ever. And she decide for herself again. And becoming the empress is a big deal. After the game it's most powerful ruler in a world, so she can make a lot. Towards the end of the LotL Emhyr decides to keep pretending the decoy girl is princes Cirilla and marries her. And the entire world believes that this is the actual Lion Cub of Cintra. Even Nimue didn't know about False Ciri until Condwiramus dreamt about her. Princess Cirilla became the Emperos wife, end of story. sfGuXW4.
