“I carry two swords. One of silver for creatures that roam the wild, one of steel for men in their cities of stone. Both are for monsters.” -Geralt of Rivia
I mean, people can and have done such a feat, especially at that distance The thing that would've given me pause was how absolutely casually he did it. The second bolt he deflected is when the crossbowman was likely internally screaming: "OH SHIT OH FU-"
@@videosearcher22 If you decide to gank a man who casually parries two crossbow bolts, and doesn't even hold the sword "properly" while doing so, you should seriously reevaluate your life choices.
Youd stick around longer than I would have then. Id see a witcher mean dogging me while walking towards me with his sword drawn and Id be in the next village over.
EG - XXFurkanXX true but then again, ceri and yennifers story wasn’t really told in the first two books either, it was mainly all geralt, they just happen to put their story in anyway so maybe they could add at least one episode of Gwent anyway for the hell of it
This guy is a well known warrior with years of experience that has the eyes of and eagle and the ears of of a wolf and has the reflexes to parry a crossbow bolt that is traveling 200 mph, as well as the determination to show up to 10 people with no armor and one sword with a straight face and killed all of my friends like they are made of cotton. That dude with a weird shaped sword: “Bet I could take him”
"There's a dozen of us thugs, so let's attack this superior, professional swordsman, one at a time, waiting politely for our turns to each die horribly."
As you said, they are thugs. "Friendly fire" would have killed them way faster than Geralt would have. Now, if they were Ninja Gaiden grunts on the other hand...Those bastards coordinate with Marine precision to keep you under pressure no matter where on the map you are.
This is a very common complaint and it is almost only ever said by people that have never been in any kind of combat with allies in close quarters. The only time you can really gang up on someone is if one person has already started to grapple them. THEN you can all move in because your target isnt moving all over causing you to hit your friends.
I get that racism exists even in a fantasy world, because people are scum and all that. What I don't understand is, why does everyone go picking fights with the physically superior, no nonsense, monster hunting race of people that have no problem spilling blood? Especially someone that dispatched a whole squad of mercs in less than a minute?
That's actually the same in the book, and it's a deep psychological issue as Geralt himself is not sure if it's actual "feelings" or more of a survival instinct that makes him take care of his social needs, like hunger, thirst and sleep. It all comes down to the idea "Witchers have no emotions" which is supposedly the truth, yet impossible to confirm. But if all the rest is true, why would this be the one lie in the mix ? And that's how you get most of Geralt psychological conundrums.
Biology would argue that, but who knows with magical people. Maybe witches designed them this way, since they have those needs, but can't have kids. @thibautisserant
One thing I absolutely loved about this, was how they used each part of the sword. Geralt used the blade, cross piece and hilt all at different times to block, deflect, or redirect stikes. Exactly how you're supposed to. "The blade isn't the only part of a sword"-Kingdom of Heaven.
yeah, but you don't wait until they start attacking themselves. the entire meaning of using aard is to brake the block and attack immediately before they recover from aard
@@kahuna2588 I like to try to utilize all of my Signs. I'll even use Yrden traps around large groups of humans to slow their attacks down, giving me more time to figure out how I want to maneuver and dance around 9 people. Quen is helpful when your opponents have insane attack power, and Aard is great for pushing away large numbers of enemies/knocking them down to grant yourself some breathing room. You can also upgrade Aard to deal damage to people with the shockwave, and even freeze enemies in ice by making the shockwave super cold so that's nice too. I use Igni and Axii in sort of the same fashion: as a means to put the enemy under a state which renders them defenseless and unable to attack. Igni is obviously much better for crowd control, but doesn't affect shield thugs unless you break their defense first, or monsters with armor like Axii can.
I love how Geralt pauses with Renfri every time he proves his superiority. You got Geralt who stops because he hesistates and doesn't want to kill her, and you got Renfri who stops because she can't believe how outmatched she is.
@@johnproctor6438 I saw both of those things being a possiblity, but I also saw her hesitating as though she actually is hoping he'll give way and join her cause. Deluded as that hope was, I think she truly liked him like he liked her, maybe not in a deep or intimate sense, but in a sense of "you're competent, I respect you and I like your body, so maybe we could be more." So she kept hesitating to give him a chance to stop and he kept trying to show her that there was only one outcome to this fight, just as he said before the fight itself.
@@maggiem6209 I’m not sure I agree with you on that. She cut him several times in order to wear him down, and finish the fight with her as the victor. He was the one hesitating on dealing a killing blow. He didn’t want to fight her to begin with, but once a fatal fight starts, there’s only one end to it. They both knew what was going to happen, but he didn’t want to do it. She forced him to, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to beat him. This is what true rage and hatred does to a person.
A lot of fans are now signing a petition to have the crappy showrunners removed and that's probably why Henry is no more. They think they can just do whatever with a story we deeply love, they think they can milk us for money by replacing the one we like, they don't give a damn about the wishes and feelings of their own fans, but in the end they won't collide with nothing but hatred for what they've done... If you're interested, I can share the link to the petition, anyway, as a way to support Henry and his beautiful incarnation of the Witcher
I am so pleased that not only does Geralt's choreography really do the spirit of the games and books justice, but they gave Renfri just as much grit and formidably. She was a naturally gifted fighter (like many of the women under the "Curse" of Black Sun) and the showrunners made that really clear. In fact, one of the saddest things about the story of Renfri's life is that she had so much potential, had they not turned her into the monster they wanted to believe she was.
peasant of Persia Did he? If Renfri had not known of the curse and say had been a ward of king of Poviss away from court, which would isolate her from rumours etc, would she grow up the same? Is it really nature or is it nurture. CD Projeckt red point it out with Syanna in blood and wine, it’s possible the curse had an effect on these girls but people exterminated and tortured them to death before even isolating them or trying to reverse the curse. It could be true but we’ll never know thanks to court Intrigues wanting another heir out of the way and mages wanting more power and knowledge
yeah, it's sort of self fullfilling prophecy. 1 Prophecy says "those girl will be beasts" 2 People are like "get the beasts torture beasts, exterminate them!!!" without even checking if it's even the truth 3 the girls are trapped in this situation where no matter what, even if they try to be good, they are still treated like rabid cornered monster, so they might as well behave like one and at least get somewhere. Its the prophecy itself that's the real curse, it was probably even created to steer the crowd by people in power to have clear hands as the others do the dirty job cause of superstition. This whole story isn't just a fantasy. It's sociological and psychological analysis of human beings on a personal and crowd level.
@@peasantofpersia well you're right about one thing. You really nothing more than a fuckin peasant. Sure renfri might have been a psycho as a child, or maybe she did that because how people treated her because she born during an eclipse. The literal point of the curse of the Black Sun is people don't know if it's real or they are the reason it exists. Still doesn't make the fact right that stregobor killed little girls just so he can see what being born at the wrong time did to them. And blood and wine also works on this question that's why it's brought up mr "not canon".
I love this fight with Renfri, mostly because you can tell she's good. She's really damn good, but Geralt makes a point of it in the fight to show her that he's easily keeping pace and could take her apart, but doesn't want to.
I saw some TH-camrs that where complaining about her technique. What everybody forgets is that she wasn't trained by a swordmaster. She was abandoned in the woods, so she basically taught herself. Dump anybody in the woods, tell them to "learn how to fight with a sword" and you are gonna see some pretty off the wall shit.
They don't have the rights to the games, including the music, designs, or any story elements the games didn't get from the books. CDPR can probably sue them if they give Triss bright red hair.
@@Carabas72 What you said is so idiotic I don't even know how to comment on that. They bought the rights to make a movie from Sapkowski - they can do with his universe whatever they want - give Triss whatever hair they want etc. CDPR only has exclusive rights to make computer games with The Witcher universe (which they like to sell - like Monster Hunter World or the fighting game in which Geralt appears). But I see you're fucking biased by the way you speak so maybe tell me instead - what has CDPR ever done to you to deserve words "assholes at CDPR"? LOL The "assholes at CDPR" are actually the most generous game creators there are nowadays - not using DRMs, pricing their games at a normal level or making DLCs the size of other games for the price of a quarter of a game. What irked you to spread idiotic lies about CDPR?
This scene ruined all Sword fights scenes for me in movies and television. The action and fluidity is so amazing that I cant help compare others to this. This is on another level. Also, Henry Cavill nailed it.
Show Geralt: Parries and deflects, landing swift and precise blows, only ever using magic when necessary Game Geralt: *SPAM IGNI, THROW GRAPESHOT BOMBS, SPAM WHIRLWIND*
I don't know how you play this boring build. I use alchemy only build, with "euphoria", "metamorphosis" or "poisonous skin", wearing full Manticore Set. Or hybrid "bomber x crossbow" with "cat eyes" mutation. First build enhances damage of basic attacks and sighns, and with 3-4 brews makes Geralt even more deadly or tough. And the second one... welp, it's just working shooting-range build. And it has AoE and DoT development.
That is one of the BEST choreographed Fight scenes i have ever watched in my 65 years. It was entertaining, sexy, violent, and passionate. Never seen the witcher or what its about. RH DSD
Same here, except for the song and a few TH-cam scenes, but I'm a,writer and this scene actually made me think about how to describe a fight in my book manuscript. 😄
Imagine Henry Cavill saying "How long are you gonna keep me waiting?" while in a defensive stance circling his opposers. If the netflix witcher did that I'd probably flip out
The fight scene when they were at the end of the dragon hunt was decent, as was the brawl at the queens palace when that "hedghog" knight came for her daughter. But I do agree, that none of the fights touched how well the choreography of this fight was done.
I think there was much more bad in all this. They turned fantastic novels into a mediocre TV show. They changed every short story to make it objectively worse, cut out the most important part of the entire story (Ciri and Geralts first meeting), and rushed through the source material so carelessly, while also adding on a bunch of unnecessary stuff with Yennefer's character. The show writer wanted to make it her own story, but she's a significantly worse writer than Andrej Sapkowski so it didn't work at all. It is genuinely unforgivable as a fan of the books what they did with this show.
A video is only as good as its editor. I saw other videos with this music before but they weren't edited well. Give the credit to the guy who posted this.
The fiting technics are a little far fetched, which is sad since they are epic historical technics. that could make it even better ; they would seem badass and realistic. th-cam.com/video/K5H8E3XdvEU/w-d-xo.html
When he cut's through the first man's head the power it took to cut through his skull so effortlessly you'd think the rest of them would lay down their arms and just admit it's pointless trying to fight Gerald
Actually, that music is Silver For Monsters, and only rarely occurs when fighting humans. This one is Steel for Humans. You might hear some other fight music as well during the game.
I just read the book " The Last Wish" and i noticed of how accurate this scene was. Even Renfri's height were as tall as Geralt which proves this scene is SUPERB.
сцена ужасная, все ожидали, что так точно описанные сцены поединков воплотят в жизнь, а по факту какая то хрень. Пожалуй рост Ренфри это единственное в чем сценаристы не отошли от книги. Хотя бы где фраза - "Отбил, стрелу в полете отбил"? или рассеченная артерия бедра? А Геральт так подставляется, берет рукой клинок, а вдруг отравлен - это ж проф. ведьмак, а ведет себя как имбицил.
The Last Wish is the only book that is adapted successfully. The other book was not well adapted and a lot of the themes seem to be glossed over. But considering it is a show with only 8 episodes. Trying to adapt 2 fairly sized books is basically impossible. The show is fine for what it is.
confirmed that this geralt is using an alchemy and swords build because all his magic signals are weak, the aard barely pushes and Axii doesn't work much either
Well that could be a little problem. Sword fights were much shorter than we think today. If you want to see a good long medieval swordfight, check Adorea.
To be honest, I would've switched the actresses who played Renfri and Triss. Edit: By switch, I mean the actress who played Renfri should play Triss and vice versa
Well it's what he's paid for, idk if geralt would even let that guy retreat anyway, as he already dislikes him, and renfri pays him so if he runs he likely dies and if he stays he dies, at least geralt made it quick and also maybe he's valourous, perhaps like a viking, perhaps to die in battle is his greatest honour, who knows.
@@brettbaxter7882 he is still kinda good as for human and remember that he is not enhanced mutant. It is not easy to even see a witcher strike and he managed to parry three blows with a cleaver.
It’s a sunny day at the market And your tending to your stall Out of the corner of your eye you see a man With ashen hair and two swords on his back He approaches you He greets you and you greet him as well You try to get him to browse your stock But he’s not here to barter He asks you to a game of gwent You don’t want to but feel compelled to reach into your pocket and draw your cards Your face is painfully contorted into a light grin And your head beings to nod And you enter a game with the strange man You battle hard but you lose the game and also that 10 crowns you don’t remember betting As well as one of your cards The man say farewell and sprints of to the merchant beside you You think nothing of it and continue your day as usual
Well the guy is a fantasy nerd. Not only did he play through the Witcher 3 but also reads the books so hes probably gotten to grips with how geralt is like. And he most likely did have this song in his head.
I appreciate that he doesn't start any initial strikes with the reverse grip. Its always when countering our pulling the blade out as he moves forward.

I knew it was a very good fight scene with excellent if fanciful choreography but I hadn’t realized how deadly Renfri was with sword and dagger...and how Witcher gave her maybe 4 distinct opportunities to cease her attack. Brilliant interplay. Slow it down and see what I missed...
Whats even funnier is how he takes a sword straight through his sternum and get pinned to the door... but he just has this "well, this is mildly uncomfortable" look on his face.

God the actress that played Renfri was amazing. I really wish she had played a bigger role like Triss instead
Sorry... the meeting went clear. There needs to be at least one awfully miscast role to increase blogging traffic for the show.
@@jakubsedlak2173 maybe the showrunners are #TeamYen 😅😅
Triss in the books has a really minor role, though.
@@jakubsedlak2173 oh hello there czech boi
@@hawkayerr eh... okay? Hi...
I love how Geralt pauses with Renfri every time he proves his superiority. You got Geralt who stops because he hesistates and doesn't want to kill her, and you got Renfri who stops because she can't believe how outmatched she is.
Hmm
I took her pause to be one of understanding. She knows she can’t beat him, but her desire for vengeance won’t allow her to stop.
@@johnproctor6438 I saw both of those things being a possiblity, but I also saw her hesitating as though she actually is hoping he'll give way and join her cause.
Deluded as that hope was, I think she truly liked him like he liked her, maybe not in a deep or intimate sense, but in a sense of "you're competent, I respect you and I like your body, so maybe we could be more." So she kept hesitating to give him a chance to stop and he kept trying to show her that there was only one outcome to this fight, just as he said before the fight itself.
@@maggiem6209 I’m not sure I agree with you on that. She cut him several times in order to wear him down, and finish the fight with her as the victor. He was the one hesitating on dealing a killing blow. He didn’t want to fight her to begin with, but once a fatal fight starts, there’s only one end to it. They both knew what was going to happen, but he didn’t want to do it. She forced him to, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to beat him. This is what true rage and hatred does to a person.
@@johnproctor6438 you can clearly see the moment geralt starts attacking the fights over
The ferocity that Henry shows in this scene is phenomenal.
A lot of fans are now signing a petition to have the crappy showrunners removed and that's probably why Henry is no more. They think they can just do whatever with a story we deeply love, they think they can milk us for money by replacing the one we like, they don't give a damn about the wishes and feelings of their own fans, but in the end they won't collide with nothing but hatred for what they've done... If you're interested, I can share the link to the petition, anyway, as a way to support Henry and his beautiful incarnation of the Witcher
I am so pleased that not only does Geralt's choreography really do the spirit of the games and books justice, but they gave Renfri just as much grit and formidably. She was a naturally gifted fighter (like many of the women under the "Curse" of Black Sun) and the showrunners made that really clear. In fact, one of the saddest things about the story of Renfri's life is that she had so much potential, had they not turned her into the monster they wanted to believe she was.
peasant of Persia Did he? If Renfri had not known of the curse and say had been a ward of king of Poviss away from court, which would isolate her from rumours etc, would she grow up the same? Is it really nature or is it nurture.
CD Projeckt red point it out with Syanna in blood and wine, it’s possible the curse had an effect on these girls but people exterminated and tortured them to death before even isolating them or trying to reverse the curse.
It could be true but we’ll never know thanks to court Intrigues wanting another heir out of the way and mages wanting more power and knowledge
yeah, it's sort of self fullfilling prophecy.
1 Prophecy says "those girl will be beasts"
2 People are like "get the beasts torture beasts, exterminate them!!!" without even checking if it's even the truth
3 the girls are trapped in this situation where no matter what, even if they try to be good, they are still treated like rabid cornered monster, so they might as well behave like one and at least get somewhere. Its the prophecy itself that's the real curse, it was probably even created to steer the crowd by people in power to have clear hands as the others do the dirty job cause of superstition.
This whole story isn't just a fantasy. It's sociological and psychological analysis of human beings on a personal and crowd level.
peasant of Persia you really believe she was a monster? So I that case do you believe Syanna from blood and wine is a monster as well?
Also Geralt believes the curse of the black sun to be a myth, it really is all about nurture
@@peasantofpersia well you're right about one thing. You really nothing more than a fuckin peasant. Sure renfri might have been a psycho as a child, or maybe she did that because how people treated her because she born during an eclipse. The literal point of the curse of the Black Sun is people don't know if it's real or they are the reason it exists. Still doesn't make the fact right that stregobor killed little girls just so he can see what being born at the wrong time did to them.
And blood and wine also works on this question that's why it's brought up mr "not canon".
I just want to see Geralt in season 2 spam Quen, roll, dodge, bomb, heavy, heavy, heavy, roll, quen.
A must have
I spammed light and barely used heavy. I expected most people to spam light as well but guess not
Why roll when you can use sidestep?
I never used bombs
@@AdamFeuerauge Roll looks cooler.
"I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN FIGHT A ARMED WITCHER"
Those peeps are not very smart apparently
*an
Even an unarmed witcher. I mean the dude slays monsters for a living!
witches are not that common, and even in books everyone gets surprised when Geralt starts to fight
Because they don't have internet.
It's amazing how the music completely transforms the scene. Far better.
I love this fight with Renfri, mostly because you can tell she's good. She's really damn good, but Geralt makes a point of it in the fight to show her that he's easily keeping pace and could take her apart, but doesn't want to.
He gives her four opportunities to stop the fight and leave Blaviken. She chose death. He makes it painfully obvious that he could kill her at will.
Made me sad he had to kill her
You get what you deserve 🤷
I saw some TH-camrs that where complaining about her technique. What everybody forgets is that she wasn't trained by a swordmaster. She was abandoned in the woods, so she basically taught herself. Dump anybody in the woods, tell them to "learn how to fight with a sword" and you are gonna see some pretty off the wall shit.
He clearly has done some side quests before doing this.
The only bad thing in all of this is that first episode has the best choreography fights. After that you expect more but it never came...
Damn wish they actually used this music for the scene. Gamers woulda wet themselves everywhere
Sethor Thorinson All except the most pedantic. This music is only used in Crookback Bog.
They don't have the rights to the games, including the music, designs, or any story elements the games didn't get from the books. CDPR can probably sue them if they give Triss bright red hair.
Michel De Bruyn They could have get them easily.
Also you know that with certain actors, political correctness comes into the consideration?
@@driv6138
They could them if they gave the assholes at CDPR a crapton of cash. But why would you want to do that?
@@Carabas72 What you said is so idiotic I don't even know how to comment on that. They bought the rights to make a movie from Sapkowski - they can do with his universe whatever they want - give Triss whatever hair they want etc. CDPR only has exclusive rights to make computer games with The Witcher universe (which they like to sell - like Monster Hunter World or the fighting game in which Geralt appears). But I see you're fucking biased by the way you speak so maybe tell me instead - what has CDPR ever done to you to deserve words "assholes at CDPR"? LOL The "assholes at CDPR" are actually the most generous game creators there are nowadays - not using DRMs, pricing their games at a normal level or making DLCs the size of other games for the price of a quarter of a game. What irked you to spread idiotic lies about CDPR?
This scene ruined all Sword fights scenes for me in movies and television.
The action and fluidity is so amazing that I cant help compare others to this. This is on another level.
Also, Henry Cavill nailed it.
what about Achilles (Brad Pitt) vs Hector in "Troy" ?
@@Сергей-е9ю1т That was Good. Really good. However, I personally like this one better.
The spinning in the fright was really bad though 😅
@@bipolarbear7337 Well, he does spin like that in the game during combat😁
@@ankitagarwal10101 I think he means hers, mostly. That and her guards with the sword over her elbow are really cringy.

I would have loved to see him quen bubble her at the end to get his health back from her cheap shots xD
Amateur move. Spam Quen sign above all else.
Yeah I Spam IGNI and ARD
It feels better when they go flying or when they explode due to IGNI
I don't know how you play this boring build. I use alchemy only build, with "euphoria", "metamorphosis" or "poisonous skin", wearing full Manticore Set. Or hybrid "bomber x crossbow" with "cat eyes" mutation. First build enhances damage of basic attacks and sighns, and with 3-4 brews makes Geralt even more deadly or tough.
And the second one... welp, it's just working shooting-range build. And it has AoE and DoT development.

“I carry two swords. One of silver for creatures that roam the wild, one of steel for men in their cities of stone. Both are for monsters.”
Damn the choreography is so good.
That is one of the BEST choreographed Fight scenes i have ever watched in my 65 years. It was entertaining, sexy, violent, and passionate. Never seen the witcher or what its about. RH DSD
Same here, except for the song and a few TH-cam scenes, but I'm a,writer and this scene actually made me think about how to describe a fight in my book manuscript. 😄
It means you haven’t seen ‘Kingsman the secret service’.Which YOU SHOULD .You will change your decision over best fight scene.I BET
I will check it out , thank you. We need more human emotions and struggles in our fights. Fighting in Life and Life is a Great Struggle....
Best fight scene imo was Hector vs achilles in the movie troy
bro the witcher 3 wild hunt is the best game i have ever played apart from minecraft good story and alot of things to do
"Damn you ugly"
Geralt of Rivia
Stinky
“What now, you piece of filth?”
Lost your nerves?
Come on!Arrgh
How 'ya like that silver
Imagine Henry Cavill saying "How long are you gonna keep me waiting?" while in a defensive stance circling his opposers. If the netflix witcher did that I'd probably flip out
"What??...lost your nerve!!??"
How you like that silver?
Wind is howling......
"What now you piece of filth"
"Damn you're ugly!"
He has definitely spent all his skill points on the "Immortal" Gift, (cause he hasn't made queen sign any time)
“I carry two swords. One of silver for creatures that roam the wild, one of steel for men in their cities of stone. Both are for monsters.”
This ends with the most sexually charged sword fight ever.
With Princess Bride a close second, lo
I know, I thought he was going to kiss her in the end 🔥🔥🔥
Renfri stuntwoman is the real life partner of Cavill, Lucy Cork.
@@bencebotye3904 wow, I didn't know that
Agreed he penetrates her very violently
The only bad thing in all of this is that first episode has the best choreography fights. After that you expect more but it never came...
There will be waaaay more if they will follow the books at all ;D
Exactly! This had set a very high bar at the beginning, but sadly never reached it again :-/
The fight scene when they were at the end of the dragon hunt was decent, as was the brawl at the queens palace when that "hedghog" knight came for her daughter.
But I do agree, that none of the fights touched how well the choreography of this fight was done.
I think there was much more bad in all this. They turned fantastic novels into a mediocre TV show. They changed every short story to make it objectively worse, cut out the most important part of the entire story (Ciri and Geralts first meeting), and rushed through the source material so carelessly, while also adding on a bunch of unnecessary stuff with Yennefer's character. The show writer wanted to make it her own story, but she's a significantly worse writer than Andrej Sapkowski so it didn't work at all. It is genuinely unforgivable as a fan of the books what they did with this show.
@@Nivomandasrail it’s the first season it’s good mate I love it but the games the best but I still can’t wait for this second season
I thought this would be weird or unfitting, but it actually made the fight more epic, especially with Renfri. Would like to see more videos like this.
Especially the slow build up with the crossbow bolt and Geralt stabbing the first dudes
A video is only as good as its editor. I saw other videos with this music before but they weren't edited well. Give the credit to the guy who posted this.
Damn Geralt is a Badass. Henry channels it perfectly.
“Steel for humans”, fitting
Even though, when you're fighting humans, he always yells "how do ya like that silver?"
@Daniel lol it is worth flexing over
Lol i fight them with silver to upgrade aerondight
Bulgarian music lol
*This series is so surreal, it looks like awesome gaming cutscenes stitched together!* 🏆
The fiting technics are a little far fetched, which is sad since they are epic historical technics.
that could make it even better ; they would seem badass and realistic. th-cam.com/video/K5H8E3XdvEU/w-d-xo.html
If you liked it, go play The Witcher III with both its DLCs. You will never come back to Netflix witcher again.
@@dorianrandd6784 it's fantasy and fantasy entertainment at that, two full levels removed from realism.
@@bogdanleshenko7149 I've played all three. The TV series fits in nicely.

When he cut's through the first man's head the power it took to cut through his skull so effortlessly you'd think the rest of them would lay down their arms and just admit it's pointless trying to fight Gerald
Where is my LELELELE
I think that's Silver for Monsters. He's fighting humans here.
@@led_tower I think the music activates even when you fight humans in the game
@@led_tower Bananatiger runs in the Swamp with the mumes
Actually, that music is Silver For Monsters, and only rarely occurs when fighting humans. This one is Steel for Humans. You might hear some other fight music as well during the game.
@@makeitquick3998 Bud these people are like monsters
I just read the book " The Last Wish" and i noticed of how accurate this scene was. Even Renfri's height were as tall as Geralt which proves this scene is SUPERB.
Llllllllllllllll
сцена ужасная, все ожидали, что так точно описанные сцены поединков воплотят в жизнь, а по факту какая то хрень. Пожалуй рост Ренфри это единственное в чем сценаристы не отошли от книги.
Хотя бы где фраза - "Отбил, стрелу в полете отбил"? или рассеченная артерия бедра? А Геральт так подставляется, берет рукой клинок, а вдруг отравлен - это ж проф. ведьмак, а ведет себя как имбицил.
Just have a quick Googling to find Emma Appleton's and Henry Cavill's height.
Emma Appleton: 1.8 metre
Henry Cavill : 1.85 metre.
Man, she's tall.
The Last Wish is the only book that is adapted successfully. The other book was not well adapted and a lot of the themes seem to be glossed over. But considering it is a show with only 8 episodes. Trying to adapt 2 fairly sized books is basically impossible. The show is fine for what it is.
@@samstocker6450 agreed
The way how geralt fights is exactly like how in the game looks like, he's like dancing while swinging a sword
I know! He’s trained to suck perfection with the sword, he’s so much faster then normal humans he’s movments flow with a grace that’s almost dancing
confirmed that this geralt is using an alchemy and swords build because all his magic signals are weak, the aard barely pushes and Axii doesn't work much either
This is the greatest sword fight scene I’ve ever seen in live action tbh.
You should watch the live action of Ruruoni Kenshin its just so bad ass! The sword art fighting will blow your mind.
I still think Achilles vs Hector in Troy is the best. This is great though.
Well that could be a little problem. Sword fights were much shorter than we think today. If you want to see a good long medieval swordfight, check Adorea.
Obi -Wan vs Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace is an incredible sword fight. Sure it’s with lightsabers, but the choreography is amazing.
Check Polish movie: POTOP Kmicic vs Wołodyjowski
The music goes incredibly well here.
To be honest, I would've switched the actresses who played Renfri and Triss.
Edit: By switch, I mean the actress who played Renfri should play Triss and vice versa
I thought same
It would be tad better
That would be nice
Nintendo Switch?
Not a 100% fix but anything has to be better than the woman cast as Triss. Fucking terrible.
This scene is just amazing! the effort that they spent for this 3 minute scene must have taken a long time but it definitely payed off!
0:56 he smacked another arrow in the air, I just noticed
Hassan I‘ve watched this scene like 10 times already, and I haven’t noticed until now.
@David Snow well if you want the actual phrase, it's a "crossbow bolt" not a dart or an arrow lol
Nice catch dude. Awesome one
How did you notice that?😂
Ive watched this scene well over 30 times and never caught that.. wow
I came with leleleleelele in the head before playing the video
This one fit much better though I think.
That song is for fighting monsters. This one is for humans and normal beasts like bears and wolves
Silver For Monsters
Ngl the lelelele one gets me way more pumped
I was hoping for "the song of the sword-dancer"
- If we cross swords...
-... I won't be able to stop.
- Care for a round of Gwent?
- Sure.

Thug with weird handled sword: watches the Witcher rip through all of his friends with minimal effort.
"Yeah I can take him."
Well it's what he's paid for, idk if geralt would even let that guy retreat anyway, as he already dislikes him, and renfri pays him so if he runs he likely dies and if he stays he dies, at least geralt made it quick and also maybe he's valourous, perhaps like a viking, perhaps to die in battle is his greatest honour, who knows.
i see they really paid attention to the details in the game!
Hey, he managed to parry a couple of hits-- it's more than what some of his buddies did.
I forget what the weapon is called, but it's used to split long bones so the marrow can be boiled out. The dude's a butcher.
@@brettbaxter7882 he is still kinda good as for human and remember that he is not enhanced mutant. It is not easy to even see a witcher strike and he managed to parry three blows with a cleaver.

Love how at 1:07 the guy in the background just waits until Geralt killed his mate to attack. So courteous.
Love how by the end Geralt is all “enough of this!” and just straight up grabs her sword by the blade and takes it.
Pro gamer move!!

It’s a sunny day at the market
And your tending to your stall
Out of the corner of your eye you see a man
With ashen hair and two swords on his back
He approaches you
He greets you and you greet him as well
You try to get him to browse your stock
But he’s not here to barter
He asks you to a game of gwent
You don’t want to but feel compelled to reach into your pocket and draw your cards
Your face is painfully contorted into a light grin
And your head beings to nod
And you enter a game with the strange man
You battle hard but you lose the game and also that 10 crowns you don’t remember betting
As well as one of your cards
The man say farewell and sprints of to the merchant beside you
You think nothing of it and continue your day as usual
Fucking axii man
😂
Wait
We can win money by defeating merchants
I should try it
My deck is full of shit cards
Literally for first-time,i am learning that ppl used f word, in medival period. 😂😂 . Nice clip 👏👏
F*ck. Cavill must've been playing this song in his mind while he's doing the entire scene.
Well the guy is a fantasy nerd. Not only did he play through the Witcher 3 but also reads the books so hes probably gotten to grips with how geralt is like. And he most likely did have this song in his head.
-ok cut
+BANANA TIGER BANANA TIGER
Cavill literally said he played Witcher on the hardest difficulty
"Watched him kill half a dozen! Freak didn't have a drop of sweat on him!"
Everytime he deflects that arrow, and the way he kills the first dude will always give me chills.
I appreciate that he doesn't start any initial strikes with the reverse grip. Its always when countering our pulling the blade out as he moves forward.
1:03 his sign intensity haven't been upgraded yet
Maybe this geralt prefer to invest on combat skill rather than sign, maybe
He use combat build in the netflix series
The little maneuver he does to grab her sword and disarm her is a thing of beauty!
Geralt: *hits bolt mid-air with sword casually*
Guy in the back: "uhm...sorry i left my gwent cards home" - *runs away*
'tis man like you keep the world liveable.
Renfri's casting is perfect. You'll never forget that face throughout the series and will really feel Geralt's pain.

You gotta respect the bravery of these level 7 thugs that heard the legendary banana tiger chant loud and clear yet still charged Geralt without a second thought.
Should've added the quest completed "HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH" sound effect after she killed Renfri
That is officially the best comment I've ever read. I heard that sound in my head while I read it 😂
Geralt has a fast attack build in this show, clearly. That's now my build for current witcher 3 playthrough (3rd time)
Yeah, but he really needs to remember to equip Cat School armour, not just going in with a Shirt and Temerian Trousers.
@@Yerflua Lol
Cat school armour perk with thunderbolt potion
Fast build has some really short coming with AoE bosses. Still doable but holy crap...

Really love how the music is so calm at the start, even relaxing to an extent... Till Geralt says his favorite word:)
I knew it was a very good fight scene with excellent if fanciful choreography but I hadn’t realized how deadly Renfri was with sword and dagger...and how Witcher gave her maybe 4 distinct opportunities to cease her attack. Brilliant interplay. Slow it down and see what I missed...
1:13 I love how that guy was like "That witcher just killed half a dozen of my friends in blink of an eye. But I can take him!"
Whats even funnier is how he takes a sword straight through his sternum and get pinned to the door... but he just has this "well, this is mildly uncomfortable" look on his face.
