Don’t count your chickens before they have hatched. Some of these potential allies will only lend their aid if you had helped them in the past. This guide will go through the four possible allies and the assistance that they will bring at the moment of truth.
Calling On Triss
As one of Geralt’s closest allies and as one of Ciri’s staunchest supporters, Trisswill help Geraltwhen asked during this quest.
That said, she has her own problems to deal with. You must completeNow or Never,a quest that brings her storyline in Novigrad to a close.
You can choose not to help Triss, if you are so inclined. This questwill fail,however.
Visiting Zoltan
