A cosplayer recently showed off an impressive rendition of Triss Merigold from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Geralt of Rivia has no shortage of enemies throughout the Witcher series, which makes his few allies all the more valuable. One of the most prominent is Triss, a powerful Temerian sorceress and former lover of the White Wolf who appears in all three of the Witcher games in addition to the original Witcher novels. Her most recent mainline gaming appearance was in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, where she accompanies the player on many key quests.
Thanks to both her importance in Geralt’s life and her interesting backstory that spans the lore of all three mainline Witcher entries, Triss is hugely popular among The Witcher fans. Some of these players have even managed to recreate her different Witcher 3 outfits, either as a physical cosplay or by modeling a character after her in other RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3.
