Dialog[edit]

Chamberlain: Bow before his Imperial Majesty, the White Flame dancing on the graves of his foes, Emhyr var Emreis!

(Bow/Don't Bow)

Geralt: Your Imperial Majesty

Chamberlain: As your majesty wished.

Emhyr: All except the witcher will leave. I thought you bowed before no man.

OR

Emhyr: So many months at Foltes's court. Yet you still haven't mastered the basics of etiquette.

Geralt: Didn't want to disappoint the chamberlain. We're friends. Take it you didn't summon me to reminisce about the good old days, so...

OR

Geralt: You know what they say - can't teach an old wolf new tricks

Emhyr: Silence. My daughter Cirilla... she's returned, and she's in danger. The Wild Hunt pursues her. You will find her and bring her to me.

Geralt: How many men in your army? Twenty thousand? Thirty? So why me?

Emhyr: You know why. Because she trusts you.

Geralt: She trusts me, yes. So tell me why you're looking for her. Doubt it's about making up for all those lost years.

Emhyr: For reasons of state, as always. Enough of this banter. You will agree regardless. If for no other reason that beause I shall pay you`. More than youy customarily receive for a contract. Considerably more.

Geralt: Save your generosity for those whose homes your armies have razed. I'll do it for Ciri. Not for your gold. I need information, not motivation. Ciri... leaves few tracks. She'll be hard to find.

Emhyr: Your motives do not interest me. Only results. My corps of spies will help you. Count on them, and my army, should the need arise. Yennefer will tell you the rest. This audience is finished. Mererid! Take him to the Sorceress.

Quotes[edit]

Chamberlain: The gentleman will address the emperor only when asked to and using the appropriate title.

Geralt: Your Archmagnificency?

Chamberlain: I see the gentleman is in the mood for jests, I fear the emperor might not share his disposition. "Your Majesty" will suffice, spoken loudly, clearly, and with respect.

Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]

  • When Geralt meets Emhyr during the Imperial Audience, you can choose whether or not to bow before the emperor. If you don't bow, it affects a short portion of the dialogue afterwards.
