It goes without saying that The Witcher 3 is one of the greatest video games of all time, with the title being all the rage when it was released in 2015. If that wasn't great enough as is, the arrival of The Witcher on Netflix fanned the flames of the game's popularity even further, leading to a second resurgence of sorts as the game shot up in relevance once again. It's a testament to the sheer quality of the game that it's managed to remain ever-present in the mind of gamers to this day.

The characters of The Witcher are undoubtedly its highlight, with Triss Merigold being a notable figure in the story of Geralt of Rivia. While fans generally love the redheaded witch, there are certain aspects of this character that are still somewhat left in the dark. Keeping this in mind, here are 10 of the biggest unanswered questions surrounding Triss Merigold.

10 What's The Story Behind Triss' Upbringing?

One of the greatest mysteries in The Witcher are the circumstances surrounding Triss' upbringing. Fans have furiously debated the history of Triss Merigold before she became a fully-fledged sorceress, mainly due to the fact that the details of her history are murky at best.

The precise time of her birth is the biggest doozy of them all, with no one having a clear answer pertaining to the same.

9 Where Are Triss' Scars In The Game?

The Battle Of Sodden Hill is one of the biggest historical events on the Continent, serving as an explosive finale in the Netflix series. During this battle, viewers and readers will clearly remember the damage that Triss received around her chest. The sorceress is extremely conscious about these scars, taking every measure possible to hide this disfigurement from the public.

However, in the games, Triss seemingly has no scars whatsoever.

8 How Did She Specialize In Magical Potions If She Was Allergic To Them?

In what can only be described as a delicious slice of irony, Triss Merigold is an expert when it comes to brewing magical potions... despite being allergic to magical brews of any kind.

However, this raises an important question — how is Triss able to gauge the quality of her potions firsthand if she can't test them on herself? After all, there's only so far that bookish knowledge can take you.

7 Why Did She Randomly Show Concern For Philippa Eilhart?

Philippa Eilhart was a major figure in the second game, spearheading a conspiracy that would've led to the destruction of the North and the death of Geralt. This was thwarted when Triss testified against her at Loch Muinne.

So, it's somewhat odd for Triss to be horrified by the fact that Geralt is working with Radovid to find Philippa. Why empathize with someone who doesn't deserve a shred of decency?

6 Why Does Her Personality Switch So Much In The Games?

This might be a minor gripe, but it's one that needs to be addressed regardless. In the first game, Triss comes off as a controlling sorceress who is stoic in her beliefs and somewhat possessive when it comes to Geralt.

However, these personality traits ebb over the course of the trilogy, with the Triss Merigold present in the third game being far more understanding and mild-mannered.

5 How Does She Generate So Much Power In The Game After Being Relatively Weak In The Prequel?

Triss' personality isn't the only thing that changes in between the games — her power level is also up for debate.

In the second game, Triss faints after casting a simple shield spell and doesn't really do much to protect herself. This changes in the second game, with the sorceress being able to incinerate hordes of enemies without so much as breaking a sweat.

4 Why Did Triss Never Mention Yennefer's Name To An Amnesiac Geralt?

In the first game, Triss serves as a major romantic interest, helping an amnesiac Geralt find his footing and giving him some much-needed emotional support to boot.

However, it seems somewhat suspect that Triss never mentioned Yennefer's name and let her tryst with Geralt unfold regardless. Just what was she playing at?

3 Why Didn't She Tell Geralt That Ciri Was Missing And Search For Her?

If that wasn't bad enough as is, Triss also "failed" to mention the slightly important detail that Ciri — Geralt's adopted child — was missing and on the run from The Wild Hunt.

While that oversight can still be forgotten, what definitely can't be let go of is the fact that Triss never decided to check up on Ciri of her own accord. That kind of behavior is downright disgusting and poses a far serious question that can completely destroy Triss' character.

2 Did Triss Take Advantage Of Geralt's Amnesia?

Amnesia is nothing to scoff at, and props must be given to Triss and Geralt's friends for supporting him in his time of need. However, in the case of the former, the unanswered questions we've posed have put her character in quite the negative light.

While there will never be a definite answer on this subject, it's quite possible that Triss used Geralt's amnesia as a way to get into his good books and take advantage of the Witcher.

This can indirectly imply something that shatters the image of Triss' character as we know it.

1 Is Triss The Most Manipulative Character In The Series?

The manner in which Geralt has been manipulated over the course of the games by Triss is something that is already well documented, for the most part. However, Triss has done several other questionable things that bring her manipulative character into the limelight.

She only takes care of Ciri in front of others when it's the most visible, while simultaneously supporting the idea of marrying Ciri off to partner who would bolster the Sorceress' Lodge.

She also betrayed Yennefer by sleeping with Geralt, further bolstering the notion that she's nothing but a narcissistic sociopath who will do everything possible to get her way.
