Updated July 05, 2025, by Christopher Norman Worcester: Romance options in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continue to be some of the most searched topics. Because of this, it is important that we keep these guides up-to-date, especially when The Witcher 3 has important events, such as beingadded to PS Plus. This update will ensure ourWitcher 3 Shani Romance guideis continuing to offer players the best possible information.
TheHearts of Stoneexpansion forThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntoffers Geralt of Rivia a considerable amount of new content to experience, including the opportunity for consequence-free romance. Players may remember that Geralt was forced to commit to only one formal relationship in the base game lest he ends up alone.
Romance in theHearts of Stoneexpansion is treated as separate from the main story, giving Geralt the opportunity to have a bit of fun on his new mission without being scared that Yennefer or Triss may find out. Withno chance of romancing Anna HenriettainBlood & Wine,this expansion marks the only time this is possible.
Witcher 3 Shani Romance Guide: A New Option
Hearts of StoneintroducesShani, a surgeon who hasties to Geralt’s past, intoThe Witcher 3.She serves as Geralt’s steadfast companion for a large portion of the main narrative, planting several hints that the coals from the past are still burning. From the moment that you meet Shani, it is apparent she and Geralt have history, but turning that history into a current-day romance for Geralt takes a bit of magic, and the help of a seriously suave ghost.
Toromance Shani inThe Witcher 3, Geralt should follow these steps:
Shani’s romance optionsare limited to a one-night only tryst. However, this is one instance where Yennefer or Triss will not find out about Geralt’s indescretion, so feel free to pursue the fleetingromance with Shani.
To set Geralt down the path towardromancing Shani, he must be ready to accept the “Dead Man’s Party” mission. Unlike the two main relationships in the base game, this romance will take place during a main mission. The party being referenced in the title of the mission is the wedding of a close friend of Shani’s. This coincides perfectly with Geralt’s goal of showing the ghost of Volodimir Von Everic a good time.
Geralt attends the wedding while being inhabited by the spirit of Volodimir, and it is in this form that the first steps toward romance are taken. Though Shani is aware of the arrangement, she spends the entire party expressing her desire to know Geralt’s feelings, often showing concern that any affection is coming solely from Volodimir. While no actions as Volodimir will affect the outcome of the romance, there are several choices that can enhance the experience. As the evening draws to a close, theopportunity for romance becomes available.
Romance Shani: A Midnight Clear
Eventually, Volodimir is banished from Geralt’s body, though Volodimir’s constant harassment and Geralt’s seeming indifference have left Shani in a sad state. When “A Midnight Clear” begins, Geralt is tasked with finding something to cheer her up. Earlier in the evening, Shani tells Geralt how much she enjoys Rowan trees. This information is also available inShani’s character entry.
Complete A Midnight Clear:
This will lead toShani inviting Geraltfor a walk. There is one further dialogue choice here, but its outcome does not affect the romance and is better left unspoiled! Geralt and Shani spend the evening together, a single night away from the rest of the world. They will speak again in the morning, but Shani explains that she is needed at the front. The romance ends as quickly as it began. While the romance seems to have more depth than some of the other one-night stands, this relationship is similar to Kiera’s in that itwill not affect your outcome with Yennefer or Triss. Though it seems thateven TV Geralt prefers Yennefer,Shani’s romanceis a well-deserved distraction for a world-weary witcher.
