The King is Dead - Long Live the King is the first main quest in Skellige. Crach an Craite invites Geralt and Yennefer to the wake for King Bran in Kaer Trolde. In Skellige, nobody refuses such an invitation. During the feast, Yennefer pulls Geralt aside with a plan of her own. She wants to break into the workshop of the druid Ermion and steal the Mask of Uroboros.

Choices
The clothes matter to Yennefer. She praises Geralt's look in the new outfit and scolds him in anything else.
Cerys an Craite challenges Geralt to a race up the mountain. The race is optional.
The last choice comes in the poisoned chamber. Yennefer asks Geralt what first comes to mind. One answer sends them back into the middle of the wake. The other sends them to her quarters, where they spend some time alone before they return.
