The Witcher 3 - Carnal Knowledge and Romance

Throughout his journey in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt of Rivia has several chances to engage in romantic activities with certain women. Some of them are part of the main quests, while others are more random in nature.

Of course, Carnal Knowledge Encounters are optional, so feel free to skip right over them if you aren't interested. If you are looking to partake, however, we have the times, quests, locations and women that are willing to get to know Geralt on a more intimate level.

You'll want to keep in mind that, like everything else in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there is more than one possible outcome. If you choose the wrong conversation options, you'll end up with a result you weren't looking for. That's why we've highlighted the options that lead to Carnal Knowledge Encounters in bold.

Keira Metz

Geralt has the opportunity to become intimate with Keira Metz at the end of the Secondary Quest: A Favor for a Friend. Choose to have dinner with her, then select from the following conversation options as you see fit.

• Tell her she doesn't have to ask twice.
• Tell her you're not in the mood.
• Inform her that there's someone else.

The Witcher 3 - Carnal Knowledge and Romance

Triss Merigold

This Carnal Knowledge Encounter is available at the conclusion of the Secondary Quest: Now or Never. Choose from the following conversation options to reach your desired outcome.

• Tell her farewell and she leaves.
• Tell her stay with you.

No matter what you choose, Triss will board the boat. It's this list of conditions that you must meet if you still want things to lead to a Carnal Knowledge Encounter.

• Kiss her at the ball during Secondary Quest: A Matter of Life and Death.
• You agreed to help her with the mages during Secondary Quest: Now or Never.
• Tell her you love her and continue to be pleasant with her.

Yennefer of Vengerberg (First Encounter)

Geralt will have a chance to get to know Yennefer better at the end of the Main Quest: The King is Dead – Long Live the King. At a certain point in the quest you’ll need to choose from two dialogue options, determining exactly how things will turn out between the two of you.

• Tell her ‘We’re gonna choke and die.’
• Tell her ‘Damn, I wanna kiss you, Yen.’

Yennefer of Vengerberg (Second Encounter)

Later on in the story, Geralt will have another chance to be intimate with Yennefer. The opportunity comes during the Main Quest: No Place Like Home. When the entire group is downstairs at the table, Yennefer will stand up and excuse herself.

If you’re romantically involved, she’ll request to speak to you in private, and after you’re done, you’ll return back downstairs to find your fellow witchers drunk. If you aren’t romantically involved, you won’t get this chance, and instead, everyone around you will get drunk and talk about the past.

Jutta An Dimun

Geralt can visit Jutta An Dimun after completing the Side Quest: Iron Maiden. Jutta will invite you back to her house. She’ll ask you to come around at about dusk. If you choose to accept the offer, her house is located beside the place where you fought Gundar.

If you aren’t interested in spending some one-on-one time with Jutta, simply agree to her request to help out with “Freya’s cruel trick”.

Madame Sasha

At the end of the Side Quest: Gwent: High Stakes, Geralt will be offered dinner at the Kingfisher Inn by Madame Sasha. She’s looking to score half the winnings from the contest, but if you’re willing to part with your hard earned Gwent Cards, Geralt can score another night out on the town. After dinner is finished, the conversation quickly shifts to talk of heading upstairs for the night.

• Agree if you're looking for a Carnal Knowledge Encounter with the Madame.
• Disagree and you’ll spend the night with your cards.

Strumpet of Crippled Kate’s

If one of the previous Carnal Knowledge Encounters aren't for you, you can always head over to Crippled Kate’s in Novigrad. Pay the Madame 20 Crowns, or don't. It's up to you to choose how you wish to proceed.

Harlots of Passiflora

If for some reason Crippled Kate's isn't your kind of place, head up to Passiflora in Novigrad. Speak with the Madame here, paying 40 Crowns, rather than the 20 you were charged at the previous establishment.
