The second run I decided to try and set it free and everything was fucked up.

At this point, the pen should be in the inventory of the character, as he found it during the performance of Johnny quest. This place is marked on the world map as Ancient Oak. If you're looking to get the best possible ending in The Witcher 3, you've come to the right place. Only in this case, in a dialogue with Mara in response to a request to release her, a replica “I have to think” appears. Subjecting innocent orphans to a horrific death just wasn’t worth saving the Baron and Anna, who both were objectively not great people.Alas that is where you fail, see Geralt doesn't save the innocent, if he did one there would be no gain but besides that, he knows, the world to be generally evil, everyone in the world, now if you take in the logic of choosing the lesser evil...These kids are orphans, name one orphan you met that wasn't a complete asshole when they grew up?

Everybody remembers the choice and the consequences of the choices in "The Whispering Hillock" quest: 1.
On my second play through I decided to free it. To do this, you must agree to conduct a ritual, and having found all the components, say that you change your mind.

It is a difficult choice. It's kind of bizarre that one option involves SPOILERS AHEAD killing several children and still can reasonably be inferred as the lesser of two evils. All rights reserved.

but honestly I killed the creature not interested in its sob story. The village remains intact. So really, the best option end-game, imo is to kill the tree monster.
