This page contains IGN's Walkthrough for Pomp and Strange Circumstance, the twelfth main quest of The Witcher 3's first DLC expansion, Blood and Wine.

Again, how this mission plays out will be dependent on which missions you went through and what dialogue options you picked.

Who was the Fifth Victim?

Make your way over to the bootblack boy and question him further about the notes he received earlier on in the game. From there, follow the marker on your map to make your way to the beggar's shelter.

Get through some dialogue and cutscenes and you'll be thrown into a fist fight. At this point in the game, you so much as sneeze and these two thugs will be down. Chatter some more, and you'll eventually learn that Anna was to be Syanna's final victim. From here the game will send you to Syanna locked away in a tower. This is where the different endings will start to play out.

Ending 1: Good Ending

Requirements: In The Night of Long Fangs, go to Syanna instead of Orianna. Make sure to read all the journal entries as well. In Beyond Hill and Dale, obtain the ribbon from the Little Flint Girl. Previous dialogue options with Syanna should have been positive.

Now that you're in the same room with Syanna, pick these dialogue options to set yourself up for the good ending:

• Cause she turned her back on you, forgot about you.
• Ever thought to forgive her?
• Might ask her that. or She was a child.

Picking any other option will lead to hostile conversation that will leave Syanna angered, sending you to the Tragic Ending.

Now with Damien, choose any conversation option, then you'll be taken to the ceremony. In order to get the Good Ending, follow these dialogue options.

• Got bad news - Syanna was out to kill you.
• Syanna's crimes were horrible... or Syanna's clearly guilty.
• You were children then, both.

From here, Syanna and Anna will reconcile.

Ending 2: Bad Ending

Requirements: In The Night of Long Fangs, go to Syanna instead of Orianna. In Beyond Hill and Dale, do not obtain the ribbon from the Little Flint Girl. This will get Syanna killed in Tesham Mutna.

This will unfortunately get you thrown in jail. Instead of going through the Pomp and Strange Circumstance quest, you'll instead skip over it and go to the Burlap is the New Stripe quest.

Ending 3: Tragic Ending

Requirements: There are two ways to get this ending.

In The Night of Long Fangs, go to Orianna instead of Syanna. This will lead to the Blood Simple quest.

In The Night of Long Fangs, go to Syanna instead of Orianna. In Beyond Hill and Dale, obtain the ribbon from the Little Flint Girl.

For either of the two options, go see Syanna in her locked tower and speak to her harshly. Basically, choose the dialogue options that do not take you to the Good Ending. You can also opt out of seeing Syanna and go straight for the awards ceremony.

There, Syanna will kill Anna during her act of mercy, prompting Damien to take her down with a bolt to the throat. Tragic indeed.

Recollection with Regis

Back in the cemetery, Geralt and Regis will be sipping away recollecting the events that took place during the ending you got. Once the conversation is over, equip the Mask For Picking Mandrake and the Gloves for Picking Mandrake. Find the footsteps of Regis using your Witcher Senses, then follow them to find Regis battling a Bruxa.

It doesn't take long to finish this fight. After a few more scenes, the credits will roll and the Be It Ever So Humble quest will being. Don't worry, it's a short one!
