Blood and Wine has several concluding paths. The reconciliation ending is easiest to secure if you commit early to Syanna’s quest route and check each missable conversation rather than rushing through the finale.
Choose Syanna’s route in The Night of Long Fangs, read the governess’s journal, obtain the Little Flint Girl’s ribbon, listen to Syanna, investigate the fifth target and encourage forgiveness before the ceremony. Both sisters can then reconcile.

Six steps to the reconciliation ending
All six choices matter across the late Blood and Wine story. Check them in order:
Do it in this order
Read the playroom journal first
Inspect the governess’s journal before leaving the playroom so the childhood context is available for later conversation.
Choose the fairy-tale route
During The Night of Long Fangs, follow the Syanna branch into Beyond Hill and Dale.
Recover the ribbon
Speak with the Little Flint Girl; acquire the ribbon by the available contest or purchase route.
Ask why Syanna was excluded from the list
Investigate the fifth intended victim with Regis, then follow the resulting conversation.
Speak with Syanna before the ceremony
Ask her about Anna Henrietta and gently encourage her to forgive her sister.
Let the reconciliation play out
Complete the ceremony without abandoning the forgiveness thread set up in the earlier conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the best ending without the ribbon?
The ribbon is an important survival flag for Syanna, so obtain it in the fairy-tale world.
Should I read the governess’s journal?
Yes. Read the available entries before progressing, as they support the later dialogue branch.
What if I choose the Unseen Elder route?
That route does not lead to the same reconciliation outcome.
Can I change the ending after the ceremony?
Typically only by returning to an earlier save and making different quest choices.
