The Final Trial is a main quest at Kaer Morhen and part of Ugly Baby. Yennefer needs a phylactery prepared for the ritual, and the job falls to Lambert, much to his annoyance. Lambert is not the most cooperative of witchers, and Yennefer is not his favourite person, so Geralt decides to tag along.
The road to the Circle of Elements is long and dangerous. It crosses a lake full of drowners and foglets, passes a cave where a bear called Old Speartip sleeps, and climbs mountain passes guarded by suspicious rock trolls. Along the way, the differences between the two witchers come out in full. Lambert is sharp-tongued, bitter and constantly sarcastic, and Geralt answers with his usual patience. Beneath the barbs, though, the quest shows the pain behind Lambert’s attitude and the bond between the two.
At the Circle of Elements, the phylactery is prepared, and the witchers head home with one more piece of Yennefer’s plan in place.
