One of the many reasons The Witcher 3 is such a beloved title is because of how it treats its exciting cast of characters. Even those resigned to supporting roles are fully developed. Keira Metz is the perfect example. The Sorceress has little impact on the main story, but she remains one of Geralt's most captivating allies throughout the game.
Plus, she has an entertaining storyline that's told almost exclusively through side quests, and it's up to you how it ends. You're directly responsible for Keira's fate, and there are multiple different ways it can play out. Here is how to achieve each one.
Updated November 1, 2026, by Kaitlyn Peterson: This article has been updated and reformatted to ensure you have all the information needed to decide Keira Metz's fate. Whether you save or kill her is up to you, but it's important you know the consequences of both and how to give her a happy ending, if you choose to!
To have any say in Keira's fate, you have to play through her optional quest line. It begins with "An Invitation From Keira Metz" and ends on "For The Advancement Of Learning."
In the latter quest, you catch Keira taking Alexander's notes on the Catriona Plague. And she intends to give them to Radovid in the hopes he'll let her live. This last quest ends with a conversation where your words directly affect the ending she receives.
If you want Keira to try to parley with Radovid, you don't have to do a lot. Just try to exit the conversation with her as soon as possible, and don't mention Kaer Morhen, demand the notes, or tell her you can't let her go.
Despite not standing in the way of her wishes, Geralt will still be upset with her decision. And it does end up being a dumb one, as later in the game, you find out that the cruel king had her impaled.
You then get a short secondary quest named "A Final Kindness." During it, you and Triss go to find her remains. After you get past the guards, a very heartbreaking scene will play out, where you retrieve the body, and Triss decides to give her a proper burial.
