Keira Metz is one of several sorceresses whom Geralt can pursue for romance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. While Yennefer and Triss are always going to be close to him, Geralt can find ways to fool around with Keira in traditional Witcher fashion.
Unlike the other sorceresses, though, Keira is not a guaranteed romantic encounter. You will lose her by making the wrong choices in her questline. Hence, to romance her, you need to make sure that Keira is alive and safe.
There is only one romance scene that you can trigger with Keira Metz in The Witcher 3. This is also going to be your first romantic encounter in the game, as you will encounter Keira early on in the storyline while searching for Ciri.
To be able to romance Keira, you will first need to complete a few of her quests.
Starting from the “Hunting a Witch” quest where Geralt comes across Keira in Velen as someone who might help him locate Ciri.
You both will then head out to explore an elven ruin in the “Wandering in the Dark” quest before getting the “An Invitation from Keira Metz” quest. This invitation is not for romantic purposes, but helping her out another time will get you closer to what you have been after.
After agreeing to meet her, Keira will tell you that she wants to lift a curse from Fyke Island. This will start the “A Tower of Mice” quest that is hailed as one of the best side quests in The Witcher 3 owing to its design, atmosphere, story, and surprising ending.
Return to her for the final time after cleansing Fyke Island and you will start “Favor for a Friend” where you finally have the opportunity to romance Keira Metz.
Keira romance choices in A Favor for a Friend
During A Favor for a Friend, you have to help find and recover a package for Keira that was lost in transit. The package contains supplies to make a nice dinner which we retrieve for Keira.
After doing her task, she will take you to a romantic dinner in the moonlight as thanks and for some ulterior motives. At this place, Kiera will describe her feelings to Geralt and tell him that she wants to have a more intimate relationship.
Within the conversations made during the dinner, Keira will say “Friends with Benefits” which will trigger a dialogue with two options. Choose “Don’t have to ask me twice” from the two available dialogue options.
Soon after that Keira will disappear, prompting Geralt to track her down using his Witcher senses. You then need to chase her to the water after which an intimate scene will trigger between you two.
The Witcher 3 Keira Metz Romance consequences
Certain choices in Keira’s romance can lead to different consequences when you follow up on the events of the Keira Metz questline in The Witcher 3. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending between Geralt and Keira as their relationship is strictly casual. If you want a more serious relationship, there is always Triss or Yennefer.
That being said, during the events of the quest For The Advancement of Learning, she will trick you after you spend a romantic night with her only to find her gone in the morning.
You will need to meet with Keira in the Tower of Fyke Isles and speak with her, and there, you will witness Keira stealing Alexander’s notes. These specific notes will be related to the Catriona Plague in The Witcher 3, and Keira plans to use these as a bargaining chip to save herself.
There you will have multiple options on either convincing Keira to hand over the notes to you or letting her take these to the mad king Radovid. Keep in mind the dialogue choices you make here will have life-and-death consequences for Keira Metz in The Witcher 3.
Keira takes the Notes to King Radovid
Keira will be hell-bent on using the notes on the Catriona Plague to create a cure and insist on meeting King Radovid on this matter. If you are not interested in Keira then you can simply let her go by exiting this conversation with her.
For that, you will need to select the dialogue choices, such as asking her what’s with the notes first. Then, you can tell her that Radovid never forgets and will remember that she was previously associated with the Lodge. Then, you can exit the conversation by telling her to do what she wants.
However, keep in mind that this is the worst choice for the Keira Metz romance. You will learn later that Radovid executed her in the worst way possible, and she was impaled.
You can then retrieve Keira’s body later on with another one of Geralt’s romance options, Triss Merigold. This will occur during the quest called “A Final Kindness” in TW3. It will be a tragic end for Keira Metz, and you will end the quest while burying her remains and laying her body to rest.
Take the Notes from Keira Metz
If you want to spare Keira Metz that terrible fate at the hands of King Radovid then you can simply demand her to hand over Alexander’s notes to you.
For that, you will need to select the following dialogue choices
- “You used me”
- “I don’t like two-faced serpents”
- “Gimmie the notes”
This will trigger Keira into fighting you in The Witcher 3. You can easily defeat the sorceress, and in doing so, you will kill her, and then Geralt will burn the notes.
This fate may seem cruel at your end but it will be a better send-off than what King Radovid would have done to her knowing that she was a member of the Lodge in The Witcher 3. Defeating Keira Metz will earn you 200 XP points, which is the only good thing to come out of killing this romance option in The Witcher 3.
Send Keira Metz to Kaer Morhen
This is the best outcome for Keira Metz in The Witcher 3, as she will not end up dying as a result of this choice. To save Keira’s life and have positive effects following her romance, choose the following dialogue options at Fyke Isles
- “What’s with the notes?”
- “Radovid never forgets”
- “It’s suicide”
- “Go to Kaer Morhen”
One of the best effects of going this route is that she will help you in the Battle at Kaer Morhen.
This way, you will also end up not only gaining 100 Experience Points, but having both these characters alive will also earn you an important achievement called Full Crew. In the end, Keira falls in love with Lambert, and the pair will have a happy ending after the battle is over in TW3.
