Who is The Witcher 3’s Triss?

Well, how long have you got? There’s both a long and a short answer to this question, but I’ll try to find a healthy middle ground since I could gush about Triss Merigold all day long. Triss is a sorceress, and not just any sorceress, but a member of The Lodge of Sorceresses, making her an extremely powerful witch, and a frequent target during the events of Wild Hunt.

Not only that, but she has a particularly close friendship with fellow lodge member, Yennefer van Vengerberg. Of course, that’s not enough to prevent Triss from dating Geralt of Rivia at the first opportunity, despite the bond between Geralt and Yen, but this isn’t the place to discuss that.

In addition to Yen and Geralt, Triss is close to all sorts of people, including Ciri, who considers the Enchantress to be a little sister. Prior to his passing, Triss served in King Foltest’s royal court as his adviser, meaning she is well versed in the world of politics.

What is The Witcher 3 Triss’ role in the story?

Triss Merigold doesn’t appear in the game for a few hours, which of course comes down to how much time you spend in Velen before heading to Novigrad, the city where the sorceress lives. Upon arrival, Geralt discovers that she has gone into hiding due to the ongoing witch hunts, of which she is one of the most wanted magic users. In the end, Triss succeeds in her mission to get her fellow mages out of Novigrad.

Depending on Geralt’s interactions with her to date, a romance may develop, leading Triss to go to Kaer Morhen to help fight the Wild Hunt. However, if she leaves Novigrad on the ship, she will still end up at the Witcher school thanks to Yennefer.

In the last act of the game, just like in Novigrad, there are a few quests you can take on with Triss, especially since she’s responsible for finding fellow lodge member Philipa Eilhart. Of course, Triss is also part of the final fight against the hunt, as she and her fellow wizards use their magic to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

Yes, Triss Merigold is one of the two main romantic options Geralt has in The Witcher 3, the other being Yennefer. Should it be the red-haired sorceress that takes your heart, you can strike up a romance with her in Novigrad, although of course this will depend on some choices you make during your time there, and it mostly depends on what you say to her while she boards the boat at the end of the storyline.

During the time Geralt spends with her in Novigrad, he can choose to be as helpful as possible, or simply make little or no time for the witch. He also has the opportunity to kiss her under beautiful fireworks. Choosing not to do that is certainly not a good idea if you want to romanticize her.

Ultimately, the last interaction you have with her is what really determines how your relationship goes, as you can choose to ask her not to go, say hello to her, or profess your love. Needless to say, the first and third options keep her with Geralt.

The Witcher 3 Triss personality

Let’s just get the ugly out of the way because as much as it pains me to say it, Triss Merigold is far from perfect when you factor in her blatant manipulation of Geralt when he’s suffering from amnesia. However, that manipulation is not seen in The Witcher 3. Triss even shows some remorse for her past actions.

Overall, Triss Merigold is a kind and caring person who will fight for what is right, even if it means risking her own life, sometimes much to Geralt’s dismay. She is also fearless, ready for battle and loyal to a fault of those she cares about.
