Life can be lonely as a witcher, so it makes sense that Geralt of Rivia has more than a few options for romance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Players can choose to seek a soulmate for Geralt, or quick flings if they feel that way inclined. Either way, Geralt is not stuck for options, but you might be stuck on which one to go for.

In this guide, we list every romance option for Geralt and how to achieve them in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Main Romance Options

There are two main characters that Geralt can seek his happy ever after with in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Triss Merigold of Maribor or Yennefer of Vengerburg. There are plenty of other steamy adventures that Geralt can go on, but these are the two women that repeatedly catch his eye throughout The Witcher franchise.

Triss Merigold of Maribor

To rendevue with Triss Merigold in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you must first complete the main quest titled 'A Favor for Radovid' and side quest 'A Matter of Life and Death'. It is important that Geralt kisses Triss at the masquerade ball during 'A Matter of Life and Death', too.

Once these are completed, you can commence on Triss' quest 'Now or Never'. You must defend the mages during the beginning of this quest, and when Triss advises she is to leave for Kovir at the end of the quest, Geralt must tell her that he loves her. Triss will board the boat to Kovir anyway, but given Geralt's confession, she will come back for him. Ultimately, the pair will have a great time at a lighthouse, before moving to Kovir where they will presumably live happily ever after.

Yennefer of Vengerburg

Yennefer is undoubtedly Geralt's soulmate in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and you'll notice that the pair can't seem to stay away from each other. To romance Yennefer, you will need to complete the 'The King is Dead – Long Live the King' quest. During this, you will have to fight a monster and choose whether to kiss Yennefer. Kiss her, then once back in her room, continue to flirt with her.

Later down the line, you will then need to complete the side quest 'The Last Wish' where Geralt is to visit Yennefer on the isle of Larvik. At the end of this quest, agree with Yennefer when given the option to do so. Finally, during one more quest called 'No Place Like Home', Geralt must decide to follow Yennefer to her bedroom. This will then secure your future with Yennefer, as well as an expected sex scene, before the pair retire together.

Triss and Yennefer

Simply put, if you try to romance both Triss and Yennefer in The Witcher 3, you're not going to be in for a good time. While the pair may try to seduce you in Novigrad together, this does not imply you can romance both of them. If you do, you'll sadly lose the chance of securing either of them as Geralt's true love.

Trying to interact with Triss or Yennefer after romancing both will lead to both of them saying they simply want nothing romantic with Geralt, and that's that; there's no going back and making reparations with either.

Brief Romance Options

If Geralt spends an evening with any of the following characters in The Witcher 3, this will not impact his relationships with Triss and Yennefer, and he can still pursue either of them.

Keira Metz

Keira Metz is another sorceress in The Witcher 3 that Geralt may spend a night with if you choose. After completing 'Hunting a Witch' and 'Wandering in the Dark' as part of the main story, Keira will invite Geralt to her home.

If you accept the invite, you will then have to complete 'A Towerful of Mice' and help Keira to free a nearby island from a curse. After the quest is completed, Keira requests a 'Favor for a Friend' which requires Geralt to locate some packages for her. These parcels happen to be ingredients for a meal that Keira invites Geralt to join. Once completed, the two will then have a very romantic evening under the moonlight.

Jutta an Dimun

Jutta an Dimun is also known as the Iron Maiden in The Witcher 3, and there is a quest by this name in her honour. During the quest, Geralt is challenged to a sword fight with the legendary warrior. If Geralt can defeat her without cheating (also known as using bombs, potions, or signs), Jutta will be impressed.

Following the quest, simply visit Jutta at her home in the village of Harviken, located in Faroe. Simply speak with her and agree to her proposal to spend the night with her.

Madame Sasha

Madame Sasha, also known as Carthia van Canten, is a Nilfgaardian woman who has regularly worked as a spy due to her intelligence and beauty. So, you can understand why Geralt may also be enticed by her. To romance Sasha, you need to make sure that you're a Gwent pro.

Later in the game, there is a side quest called 'High Stakes' which requires Geralt to compete in a Gwent tournament in Novigrad. To romance Sasha, you need to beat her or agree to help her. Following this, she will ask Geralt to dinner and by obliging, you will then spend the night with her.

Shani

In the Heart of Stone DLC, Shani is an additional romance option for Geralt. As a part of the main story quest 'Dead Man's Party', Geralt will attend a wedding feast and may choose to stick around after. He will then be asked to bring Shani a gift. The gift that you choose also decides your ending for you:

  • If you gift Shani a drink, there is a romantic ending that can be seen as rather amusing.
  • If you gift Shani flowers, the romantic ending is a little more heated... in a good way.

Syanna

In the Blood and Wine DLC, Syanna is an additional romance option for Geralt. During Blood and Wine's main story, Geralt will be tasked with rescuing Syanna and helping her to escape the Lands of the Thousand Fables. Towards the end of the quest, Geralt must defeat a boss. Once successfully taken down, Syanna will make an 'offer'. By accepting the offer, Geralt and Syanna will then spend some romantic time together.

Quick Flings

If Geralt spends any time whatsoever with the characters of the following brothels, he can still choose to pursue Triss or Yennefer, and his relationships with them will not be impacted.

  • Viola
  • Amrynn
  • Narcissa

Strumpets of Crippled Kate's

Crippled Kate's is located north of the Pontar River and hosts three more women that Geralt can romance for an evening in exchange for crowns.

  • Suzy
  • Mercia
  • Bertha

Courtesans of The Belles of Beauclair

This brothel is located in Beauclair, located in Toussaint. Like the prior two establishments, there are three more women that Geralt may spend his Crowns on sharing some time with.

  • Madeleine
  • Two Unnamed NPCs
