{{tropelist}}
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: this works to bring all necessary actors to the [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]], mixed with [[Stable Time Loop]] in one case.
* [[Big Badass Battle Sequence]]: the battle of Brenna. Which in itself has nothing to do with the plot, but is immensely important [[In-Universe]].
** [[Lower Deck Episode]]: the battle is shown through the eyes of a minor and unimportant character from ''[[Blood of Elves]]'', who now receives the spotlight.
* [[Breather Episode]]: the hanse's stay at Beauclaire.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* [[Five-Man Band]]: Geralt's original troupe from ''[[Baptism of Fire]]'' is expanded with [[The Sixth Ranger]]-slash-[[The Chick]] Angouleme, {{spoiler|Dandelion leaves the gang, and Regis gets briefly promoted to [[The Lancer]], when he starts feeding on humans again and Cahir suffers a bad case of dead}}.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: {{spoiler|Geralt and Yen die... and they are on island of Avalon at the same time? Or is it the afterlife? ''[[The Mists of Avalon|Avalon]]?'' And Ciri leaves for [[King Arthur|Camelot, with Galahad]]?}} The author clearly decided to [[Torch the Franchise and Run]].
* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]: And his love interest, too. However, in the video games, both come [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] five years later.}}
* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|Vilgefortz}}, who despite all his power apparently can't notice a well-crafted illusion until it's too late.
* [[Leave Your Quest Test]]: Beauclaire for the heroes, but especially for Geralt. {{spoiler|Dandelion stays.}}
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* [[Party Scattering]]: At the end, {{spoiler|Geralt and Yennefer end up [[Not Quite Dead]] on opposing ends of the known world and Ciri is [[Trapped in Another World]] altogether}}.
* [[The Promise]]: {{spoiler|Yennefer makes Emhyr promise to never make "her daughter" cry, as she and Geralt are about to commit suicide and Ciri, taken away to marry the Emperor. Guess what Ciri does the moment she is told that she has to part with Geralt and Yennefer ''again''. It actually makes Emhyr abort all his plans for Ciri, turn around, and leave.}}
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: while Ciri travels {{spoiler|[[The Multiverse]] in search of her home,}} she receives unexpected help from two sorceresses {{spoiler|from her future}} - they realize that {{spoiler|being lost between times and spaces, she is, in practice, everywhere}}. Thus, she may as well appear to them. So by some effort on their side they summon her, and show her the way to her destiny - {{spoiler|the [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]}}.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: The final battle.
* [[Two Girls to a Team]]: Geralt's hanse after Angouleme joins him.
