Witcher 3: How to Save Jorund Without Sacrificing the Children of the Jarls

[@uninstaller2860]

Jorund is a man worth saving.

[@xLetalis]

Indeed he is. So are the Junior Jarls I guess :D

[@ryu2683]

CDPR could give the option of giving him and Sheala swallow potion

[@Dark_Voice]

Is he worth Cerys and Hjalmar though? I personally LOVE Svanrige as king because he seems to have both sides of Cerys and Hjalmar in one and seems like the best choice BUT whiping out Clan An Craite is simply unacceptable for me.

[@linglingspacewhales1977]

Another note, has anyone noticed all the hidden crown stashes in the fallen trees and tree stumps? They are everywhere, especially in Skellige. They don't show up with your witcher senses, so you have to stand really close to the hollow of the fallen tree, then the loot button will pop up. It's two different tree stumps so once you know what they look like, they are easy to spot and they are everywhere. Alot of my friends who play never even noticed them.

[@WretchedRedoran]

Hmm, perhaps it could be a reference to Fargoth's stash of cash hidden in a hallowed out tree stump in Morrowind?

[@tailsofpearls]

I actually managed to save him on my first three playthroughs unknowingly. Mostly because I forgot about this contract until after playing the King’s Gambit quest

[@jonbaxter2254]

I was surprised how warmed I was to him in the short span of time I knew him

[@marocho129]

I'd say that the entire quest in the Cave of Dreams actually takes place in the "small version" of the cave... the way I understand it, the "large version" of the cave and all that happens there are just hallucinations from eating the herbs at the altar... not sure if there's much truth to it, it just makes (at least) some sense to me

[@JETWTF]

That would be why the large cave is separate, if it was just the stuff seen then those would only be enabled during the quest.

[@xLetalis]

fair enough :)

[@mpbMKE]

That's what I assumed after the end of the quest when you wake up back in the small cave.

[@frostyblade8842]

I remember after beating the plague maiden/pesta for this quest, I had another quest to do near by so I thought 'I'll just do this one quest, then I'll finish this one'. However I got sidetracked and didn't end up finishing this quest until after Kings Gambit and Jorund stayed alive. I didn't realise how lucky I was until I saw how this quest was supposed to end on the wiki. Thanks for sharing this Letalis, it's much appreciated. I managed to keep Cerys as Queen too, which was awesome

I had discovered this in one of my gameplay, I always wondered what would happen if Lugos was already dead, the outcome was pretty inconsistent actually. I kept a higher expectation.

[@CoolGuyJ84]

Jorund is a great character, and it's very interesting that there is a way to save him without Jarl's children getting killed. Though I'm not sure I would have the heart to explore this route in my future playthrough. Sacrificing Cerys & Hjalmar (to be killed) so Svanrige gets the throne and Jorund living seems........too great of a cost for me (similar feeling to leaving Roche, Ves, and Thaler to die in Djikstra's hands, I just can't do that).

[@burningsinner1132]

To be honest a lot of said choices feel very stretched, especially the Djikstra one. Roche was happy to take Redania side in W2 with certain choices FFS. Thaler is not exactly a guy who would believe in Temeria status under Nilfgaardian rule being anything short of fleeting memory (This guy never had problems hinting that the Foltest's daughter is the red herring behind the culprit's plot, he is rational and cynical). Besides, Djikstra never needed to kill them to get things done, a mere delay (Like slipping mickey in celebratory wine) would make it impossible to salvage the situation to keep things going the Nilfgaard way.

[@elvenheathen]

You don’t have to sacrifice them. You literally just have to do the Cave of Dreams quest before you do the Phantom one, and then finish the phantom one AFTER King’s Gambit. That’s what I’ve been doing. I do Cerys and Hjalmar’s quests at the end of my time in Skellige before I’m ready to move on, and I help Blueboy before I go talk to Jorund, so the whole quest for the crown of Skellige isn’t even initiated yet. I’ve done it multiple playthroughs now and without fail, as long as you go find Blueboy on your own before you complete that quest, Jorund won’t die, because Blueboy’s election is no longer on the table, and one of the An Craites gets to rule.
