The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Part Ten

Geralt awoke in Philippa Eilhart’s quarters with no time to spare. King Henselt’s army was at the gates of Vergen. With few allies and Saskia gravely ill, the battle for Upper Aedirn began. Geralt and Zoltan defended the town with fire, steel, and boiling oil, but sorcerer Dethmold shattered the barricades with devastating magic, forcing a retreat.

As the Kaedweni army pressed on, Geralt and Saskia uncovered a secret passage and found enemy forces waiting within, led by Dethmold himself. In the confrontation, Dethmold struck Geralt down with a powerful spell, nearly killing him... until Saskia revealed her true form: a dragon. She saved Geralt, but her secret changed everything.

Back on the front lines, Vergen stood on the brink of collapse until Iorveth returned with reinforcements. In a bold counterattack, Geralt and Zoltan closed the gates, trapping the Kaedweni soldiers and forcing Henselt to surrender, ending the war for Upper Aedirn.

But the victory was short-lived. Philippa and Saskia vanished through a portal, and a search of Philippa’s quarters revealed a disturbing truth: Philippa had poisoned Saskia, not to harm her but to control her mind. The Dragonslayer had become a puppet, and Geralt, along with Iorveth, vowed to free her.

Meanwhile, the figurine that imprisoned Triss Merigold was finally restored, bringing her back to life just as Geralt and Iorveth pursued the sorceresses to Loc Muinne, the ancient elven city and final battleground for the tangled conspiracy surrounding the assassins of kings.

Geralt’s journey is reaching its conclusion but betrayal, truth, and fate still await him in Loc Muinne…
