Act III, Loc Muinne Part VI -- A Summit of Mages

Act III, Loc Muinne Part VI -- A Summit of Mages

You need to meet with and talk to Roche / Triss before entering the Summit.  Basically it depends upon who you chose to help here -- but the rest of this plays out pretty much the same from your POV...  You talk to your comrade outside and then you enter the Summit Chambers, where you see pretty much all of the viable rulers of the lands assembled.

If you prevented Roche from killing Henselt then when you arrive a knight tells you that he has arrived and taken over.  You get a graphic-novel CS in which the issue is outlined, and then you meet your comrade outside of the Amphitheater and commit to entering.

Inside a CS plays out in which the convergence of the stories you have set in motion plays out.  Henselt makes a speech, some of the other leaders put in their opinion, and then Henselt yields when he learns that the Princess has been taken.  The decision is made, Radovid accepts the Princess and introduces her as his future wife.

The business of the conclave is then promoted, and the mages state their case -- then the Ambassador steps up to speak and presents Letho!  The Ambassador reveals that Letho has confessed, and then Letho confirms this, and the Ambassador outs all of the members of the Sile and Phillipa's lodge.  Before anything can be decided, Radovid orders the arrest of all of the mages and sorceresses, and then Sile calls in her trained Dragon!

The Dragon attacks, killing all of the Royal Guard, and then Sile escapes to the tower.  Follow her and run up the stairs, avoiding the Dragon as much as you can.  When you get to the top of the tower you have a conversation with Sile, who has opened a portal, but what she does not know is that the portal was opened with a false gem -- the diamond she thinks is focusing it is in fact not stable!

Sile reveals more truths to you -- things are not as they seem after all, and Letho has an axe of his own to grind in this story.  Now you have another choice to make: remove the false diamond or leave it in place. 

Showing No Mercy to Sile

(1) Leave the diamond in place -- Sile is destroyed by the portal and you unlock the Achievement "Witch Hunter" (10 G) Leave Sile to die in the unstable portal.

(2) Remove the diamond, saving Sile and unlocking the Achievement "Sensitive Guy" (10 G) Save Sile from dying in the unstable portal.  To pay you back for saving her life, Sile tells you where to find Yennefer.

In addition to the above you also unlock the Achievement "Once Ain't Enough" (15 G) Complete Chapter 3.

The Dragon then attacks through the wall and you have to fight it!  Once you do a certain amount of damage the Dragon temporarily retreats half-destroying the tower.  You climb up to the top and hack away at it until it is very nearly dead, and then you leap on to it and ride it down to the ground where it is impaled on a tree.  You then deliver the killing blow and it dies, unlocking the Achievement "Being Witcher George" (20 G)

You watch some of the mages being put to death, and the King and his army departing, and then you get another CS of Geralt approaching the now mostly destroyed fortress.  He climbs up and is met by Roche, and they talk. 

It seems that Letho is waiting for you in the Camp, so you head in that direction as Roche fills you in on the events you missed.  As you make your way through the ruins you get a CS of a mad sorceress.  When you reach the turn ahead you are attacked by knights but eventually you reach the camp and Letho, who has Triss.  It seems that Letho saved Triss from pretty much everyone.

As you approach Letho a CS plays out and you see that he is who swapped the diamond out of Sile's Mega Scope.  You get a graphic-novel CS in which memories are restored, and

Considering all of the grief he put you through, killing him is perfectly understandable -- and we can let him live when we play Iorveth's path, so let's kill him! 

Giving Letho the Ending he so Richly Deserves

His death scene was pretty dramatic -- you just sheath your sword and walk away, no plans to gloat, not plan to cry.  As the CS plays out you open the gate and Triss and Roche walk through with you as you leave the fortress city for the last time.  You unlock the Achievements "Avenger" (30 G) Finish the game by killing Letho, and "To Be Continued..." (50 G) Finish the game at any difficulty level.

If you choose not to kill him you will unlock the Achievement "Old Friends" (30 G)

Dandelion narrates the ending, telling the story of your legendary life, and you learn that the north manages to join forces and survive.  Naturally the last words Dandelion speaks suggest that a sequel is coming :)

The credits play out after that -- you can exit them by hitting 'B' twice, after which you get another surprise CS...  You should watch it, it is very unexpected.  And disturbing.
