STORY 27 - The Battle Of Kaer Morhen

Recommended Level: 24

Note: Gaining allies during the earlier story quest will make the battle easier by allowing certain characters to save each other and acting as distractions and decoys. If you haven't recruited any or many allies, Geralt will need to perform additional rescue tasks (such as saving Lambert when he is under attack). If you have recruited Keira for example, she will protect him. Meaning you don't have to. However it is still possible to get through without any help, just more difficult.

Note: This guide is for the full party of allies, if you have not obtained them all the objectives/ people involved may vary. And anyway, who wouldn't want to have everyone at Kaer Morhen for the battle to make it look even more epic?

Objective: Enter Kaer Morhen keep and begin the council

After the reunion tour, head towards the main hall of the keep. As you walk along, you'll see your allies and some of their preparations spread out around the place (Zoltan's explosive barrels for instance). When you are ready to begin the main event, walk into the middle of the hall to trigger a scene and the deliberations.

During the discussion, you can decide several things (if you need bombs or potions, to fix the hole in the fortress wall or to rescue blades from the armoury). Make your decisions by looking at your character focus (if you are a bomb user, it may help to fill up your bomb supply. Otherwise go for the potion refill to stock up on your swallow potions for the battle). The wall choice adjusts enemy numbers/ improves melee allies damage. After hearing out the plan, watch your allies go to work and shortly afterwards, the hunt will arrive at Kaer Morhen.

Objective: Use dimeritium bombs or the yrden sign to close all the hunt's portals in the woods around Kaer Morhen (3)

Optional Objective: Kill the wild hunt warriors near the right portal in the forest

Optional Objective: Kill the wild hunt warriors near the center portal in the forest

Optional Objective: Kill the wild hunt warriors near the left portal in the forest

Note: You can ignore the optional objectives here if you wish, as when you close the final portal you will not need to fight the remaining enemies. I recommend you ignore them to conserve your health and potions for later.

After battle commences with dramatic opening scenes, you'll find yourself invisible in the woods with Lambert at your side. This is the games one and only real stealth section. You are given a limited number of bombs to close the nearby portals at range. Using the yrden sign will reveal you to all nearby enemies as your invisibility will stop when you activate it. The easiest way to do this is to walk near enough to each portal to accurately (read: manually) throw a dieritium bomb into the vortex (select the bomb in the quick use menu - hold LB, then hold RB to manually aim the bomb and release to throw). I though I'd give a little reminder for players who haven't focused on bomb abilities, or used bombs since the Kaer Morhen tutorial at the start of the game.

You can also just wade into the enemies at the base of each portal and try to cast the yrden sign, but this is much more difficult and may result in you wasting swallow potions to heal up (which you will likely want to save for the later fights at the keep). So make sure to try the stealth approach first, falling back on the other method if you miss a throw. After the final portal is closed, you'll see more scenes of the battle in progress before gaining control of Ciri on the battlements.
