Ciri as Empress: The Witcher 3 Cosplay by Ekaterina Lann
Cosplayer Ekaterina Lann, in collaboration with photographer Victoria "Milligan" Romanova, has unveiled a stunning portrayal of Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This captivating photoshoot explores an alternate game ending where Ciri chooses the path of the Empress of Nilfgaard rather than that of a Witcher.
In these unique images, Ciri, often speculated as a potential future protagonist for a hypothetical The Witcher 4, is seen donning special imperial armor and once again wielding her sword.
For fans interested in achieving this specific ending in The Witcher 3, several key in-game decisions are required. To have Ciri become Empress, players must visit Emhyr in Vizima (during the "Blood on the Battlefield" quest), complete the questline involving the assassination of Radovid, and side with Roche and Thaler in the "Reasons of State" quest.
Additionally, at least three of the following conditions must be met: during "Blood on the Battlefield," suggest a snowball fight instead of drinking and refuse Emhyr's reward for finding Ciri; in "Final Preparations," allow Ciri to attend the Lodge of Sorceresses meeting alone; and in "Battle Preparations," let her unleash her anger by destroying Avallac'h's laboratory and visit Skjall's grave.
