Choices


Geralt can give Lena the Swallow potion or hold back. Either way, Lena cannot be truly saved.

If Geralt gives her the potion, her wounds heal and she survives. The toxins in the witcher's brew melt her mind, though. Geralt hears the news later at the Nilfgaardian garrison in Velen. If Geralt does not help, he weighs the choice for so long that Lena dies of her wounds.
