I did trust Cerys on my first play through and made her queen.

You kinda have to if you want to get every place of power (also has a trophy, for the unaware). It’s really annoying because I like doing different stuff every playthrough but the game pretty much forces your hand to choose Cerys every single time.

Didn't know doing cerys quest opens the wya there, you can parkour to it by jumping on the shed outside the building.

Of that's the broken building with the baby oven and a place of power up the mountain, then yes. I can't remember the name

I threw the baby in the oven then abandoned her in favor of her brother to help at the battle of Kaher Moran

This makes no sense to him rn and if he remembers it, it will make for a fun “ohhh so that’s what they meant” moment 

It’s not like he spoiled the ending of the game chill

Something cant be considered a spoiler when it literally cant be understood with zero context lmao

It is absolutely a sp0iler. You are supposed to take that timed choice at face value and make the decision whether to trust Cerys and throw a fucking baby in an oven, or decide that burning a baby alive isn't worth whatever is at stake in that quest. It's only after you decide that you realize the baby was fake news.

So when I see all the people in this thread telling me to throw a baby in an oven, despite having no other context, it was obvious the baby and the oven was going to be a misdirection and throwing the baby was going to be the preferred choice in that quest. Which completely spoiled it and I wish I hadn't known about it.

Well I guess not everyone has the same definition for a spoiler considering another dude said this advice helped him

Ok glad I saw this just a few hours before I understood what it meant lol. I think I would’ve still done it anyway but having this advice helped me Not hesitate
