Hello everyone! Be sure to check out the second channel, new video on there right now! th-cam.com/video/JPx0dJwYfuY/w-d-xo.html edit: Twitter: twitter.com/WitcherGeorgeB Discord: discord.gg/bz2y2shwaH
in a cave underneath the sewers of novigrad theres an unmakred quest that wakes up a vampire sleeping in a tomb which may be one, also the quest in novigrad where you find the mortician is the killer and attacker of priscilla states he is a higher vampire however he turns into a katakan looking form so im not sure
Having read the books, I really loved the fact that blood is for Vampires what alcohol or drugs are for humans. Meaning they don't need it at all but are likely to have a taste for it and crave it.
There is actually one other Higher Vampire that is mentioned in the Witcher 3: Khagmar. This is told during the Tesham Mutna quest because he was kept and tortured there for quite some time as punishment.
@@AngraMango unfortunately CDPR didn't write a closure for this story. We can assume that he is since only higher vampires can kill each other and that it is forbidden. But since Tesham Mutna is empty in the game, that would mean he is free and roaming, quietly. Or perhaps a higher vampire can eventually kill himself?
Glad there is still new witcher fans :) its the best game out there in my opinion and there are so many different endings. Just a tip without spoiling the game but try to be a good dad to ciri and not a demanding one
It's true about how it's a little overwhelming at first. I just started playing witcher 3 yesterday and I still haven't got used to the mechanic, other than that the game is amazing.
I love the Witcher universes unique take on the vampire. Vampires especially higher vampires aren’t just corrupted Humans or monsters they are in fact a different species of humanoids looking beings from another world another dimension in a way that makes them literal aliens.
While I agree that the general idea of the conjunction of spheres and all these species coming from other worlds is an amazing and interesting idea, the vampires beeing aliens isn't very special. Most species in the world of the witcher are aliens. Humans are from earth, as far as we know all or at least the vast majority of monsters are from different worlds and if I remember correctly even the elves are not originally from that world.
@@dereinzigwahreRahlI thought the Elves were the only species that existed in the world of the Witcher prior to the Conjunction. Then again I remember seeing somewhere that the Elves also weren’t from that world they just arrived 1,000 years before the other races.
@@WitcherGeorge am I only one that want next witcher game where you play higher vampire you know try to survive and live in daily live of one? Also could you make video about how that would work? i would love to hear your thought how it would work?
I recommend watching summary videos of the books or reading them yourself if you want more Witcher lore. The show on Netflix is a abomination and skips important details, or even makes stuff up. Either way im excited for The Witcher 4 when ever it releases.
I like it how in the witcher they put their own thing in vampire lore but still makes vampire feel like vampires by keeping some of the classical stuff in the story of blood and wine that are typicaly assosiated to vampires like dungeons and cemiterys. I have seen other series that has changes vampires so much that they don't feel like vampires.
There's definitely a class system within the Vampires, between those who existed before the conjunction and those that came after, makes sense that those who can pull it off would describe themselves as a higher vampire as only actual higher vampires could disprove that.
Theory: Higher vampires are only immortal in the world of Aen Seidhe and also invincible if they aren't killed by another vampire(although having something coated in dalvinite would also be able to kill them permanently imo). That's why they feel so uncomfortable, they can't die and are in such small numbers, they have no relief at all, no peace.
@ZerkGrimWolf9782 Yeah, this is their limbo. Unable to die and age except through two methods until their portal finally opens up and they can return to their normal mortal lives
I love how they're basically Demi Gods. Detlaff basically overthrew Toussaint overnight, and that was only after toying with their most esteemed Knights.
The only reason CDPR introduced the only a higher vampire can permanently kill another higher vampire is to bring back Regis which is pretty cool since he was melted completely.
It isn't often that I think witcher lore to be way too ridiculous. The idea that higher vampires can be kill only by their kind is difficult to believe. I mean you chop one up, burn the pieces, dump their ashes in boiling silver and make a sword/statue/toilet stool/etc.
I always thought they are awesome in the games - as with most things actually... they did a great job. They are intimidating even if they don`t really act aggressive. And they know it, thats the most dangerous thing of all, I think. If you know your power and limit, it kinda makes you more dangerous than just strong monsters.
Nice to see you back! Feel spoiled this week with nate that does skyrim lore coming back after a super long lay off and now you. Really enjoy your content, though I understand there's only so much lore between 3 games and a handful of books.
Hey George, are there alot of easer eggs in Witcher 3 that you wont know unless you read the books? a vid on that would be cool. You've read them all, and know all the lil plans/plots other people have done, but didnt quite make the cut to be in Witcher 3. but they show you through environmental queues that ONLY a book reader of the series would spot... just my two cents, and would be interesting to me IMO
Hello from California! I’ve been up all night absolutely loving your page, I’ve been looking for Witcher content like lore dives of the kind that you do since I started my Witcher journey in 2017/18, amazing work honestly 👏
Nice video! I like to add some theories based on some clues in the games: I thin the Queen of the Night, Regis' ex, is to mention as well. It was not entirely clear, that she is a bruxa. Another one is "The Humanist". And the other 2 tribes: Tdet, Ammurun next to Regis' and Dettlaffs tribe Gharasham. I think CDPR contradicts its vampirelore as much as Sapowski does, so we have a freedom to interpret it? In the book, Regis ability is to hypnotize a group of people, maybe this is connected to his ability to speak with ravens, he is immune to fire but got melted by Vilgerfortz. I also think that Dettlaffs monsterform is his batform. And if you enter the cave of the unseen, you can see som pictures of him with two wings and claws. You also find the symbol of the unseen as shrines where humans pray, enlight candles and lay down flowers. As if this is a cult for humans. It reminds me of the book you find in Tesham Mutna. Toussaint seems to be a whole free-ranged blood farm for the vampires, they (maybe) abandoned long ago (to didn't)? Maybe they established the cult long ago as a way to bind the "sheep" to its sheppard and justify a ritual involved to bloodletting.
About the Vilgefortz fire, remember that magic fire was different from the normal one. Triss once said that she cannot extinguish magical flames. Maybe thats the reason why Vampires lose their immunity when it comes to face a magician?
Can't have been that few. Regis describes being with vampire friends in the books (recently started reading them). I'm guessing somewhere between 1-400. Enough for them form the tribes discussed in the game spread out across the world, but still remain exceedingly rare. Also seeing as a majority of them seem to feel uncomfortable in this world it would be reasonable to assume that they would simply hide out in a cave, not unlike the one we find The Elder in, and wait for an opportunity to return Ps: good to see you back. been missing these videos
Missed your videos so it's been really nice to watch this and the new videos on your Witcher George channel. Great video I really love higher vampires, so this was very interesting.
My theory on vampires is that they start as the animalistic vampire. The longer they live, they adapt, learn and, in theory, their bodies create inmunity to silver or even death.
In the books, I think higher vampires are presented as unique, a class in their own, or nigh undefinable. In the games, I think that they are presented as a species: (the term "higher vampire" is used to refer to more powerful vampires eg, bruxae, katakan etc, as well as the species "higher vampire", which Regis, Dettlaff and the Elder are a part of) because "higher vampires" like Regis, Dettlaff etc have a very specific set of characteristics and powers, eg: feral form, fog form, beast/bat form, human form etc, that differentiate them from the classification "higher vampire" that bruxae etc are a part of. Basically, "higher vampire" means two things, a classification of vampires, as well as a specific species. (This is made clear in the video), so this comment is basically pointless
It’s like saying Orianna’s (however you spell it) species is bruxae. But she can be labeled as a higher vampire since she’s above the primitive vampiric beasts While Detlaff and Regis species is higher vampire, The Higher Vampire. And then the Ancient dude… is Super Sayain 3 Vampire
Higher vampires are epic. Their base form is enough to deal with witchers, humans and a whole city but then you have their final form. You can feel the amount of power in every wing flap.
Dragons, higher vampires and 'Crones' are the strongest 'common' (not that theyre common, just not like an individual thing like Viy or Gaunter O'Dimm) things on the continent I think.
Missed you bro! Edit) I also just got a PC from my brother, he built it for me and now I can play Witcher 3 at 100fps and mod the game if I want! It’s great!
I need to return to Witcher 3 and play through Blood and Wine. I downloaded it but never got around to playing it, but I really want to encounter a high vampire
Little correct. Every higher vampire have the ability to turn into huge bat like creature not only dettlaff. Its seen in the last chapter of the books when they attacked vilgefort's keep "stygga". Regis for the first time joined to battle and turned into bat slaughtering people like rats.
The end choices of Blood and Wine didn't make much sense to me. After being introduced to Tesham Mutna and it's vampire proof cage, why didn't Regis simply take his defeated friend there to cool off for a century or two. It's an obvious solution that avoids all of the problems associated with the other endings. I understand the 'no perfect ending' idea, but this solution in so obvious, it makes Geralt and Regis look like morons for not thinking of it. Also, after earlier learning that Dettlaff can only be killed by one of his own, Anna Henrietta never seems curious about how he's actually killed.
“stronger than any other creature in the witcher” *Gaunter O’Dimm enters the chat* *the crones of crook back bog enters the chat* *the hymn enters the chat* *dragons enters the chat* *wild hunt enters the chat* you got me at unseen elder tho… he’s a close second in the witcher verse
hey i know this is late but could you maybe look into the Oxfurt drunk Vampier. i'm wondering if the medic involved in the quest is the Vampier in human form. why? because he vanishes after you kill geal. i know he might not be a true "Higher vampire" but i'd like to know what you might think about it
I was going to mention Hubert Rejk because when you confront him he says "I'm a vampire, higher of course" in the quest but the Wiki says that he isn't.
well there are also dragons that are at least on par with higher vampires abilities at least some of the dragons are (Saskia and Borch). However Borch in the books seems weaker than higher vampires in the games, that are for the intentions and purpose of the storytelling little bit too much OP.
the vampires, namely the unseen elder being far too powerful for a Witcher is more or less game stuff, in the novels when asked if he could kill a higher vampire( regis) Geralt just says he doesn't know, but leaves it quite open to interpretation that he possibly could
Pretty sure a Katakan which may or may not be a Higher Vampire. Another Katakan (the Serial Killer one) calls themselves a Higher Vampire. It's actually not clearly stated what is and isn't one in game. I personally think if they're Intelligent like an Human they're a Higher, If they're dumber like an Animal/common monster they're Lower. Also Elders might be their own rank higher than Higher Vampires. Witchers while expert Monster Hunters aren't always right they can be wrong and whatever naming conventions can be false given they made them up. But the truest experts would be the Vampires themselves they'd know what makes the difference, To bad they're an isolationist and hostile bunch or if they're friendly like to keep some secrets to themselves for fun.
@@flamesofchaos13 Yeah your mostly likely correct i just remember he isnt hostile if you only awake him once but if you do again he attacks whereas most other vampires straight up attack unless they are higher
In my opinion a higher vampire could be a bruxa like oriana or a katakan like that one vampire you kill who is brutally murdering folk and injured Priscilla, he specifically called himself a higher vampire anyways. So maybe all higher vampires are ones who are intelligent and can assume human form. There is just a different hierarchy, Like bruxa and katakans are at the lowest then higher vampires like regis and detlaff who can assume the giant bat form are mid then unseen elders are at the very pinnacle. I just don't think cdpr with all the detail they put into the game would call that one katakan a higher vampire and have him not really be one. Just my opinion tho, I enjoyed the video none the less 🙂
Ok im gonna get hate for this but I disagree shocker Oriana is a higher vampire and to me so is the doctor and the sleeping one here me out we all assume that what classifys a high from a lesser is set in stone but im going to voice my opinion ok I don't think its that simple for one most lesser vampires are animals ok and yeah Oriana can be killed by normal means yes but I think she more of a imbetween class I think all vampires that have reason are high vampires just because they don't have absolute immortality doesn't mean they are not and no im not just saying that because they have human intelligence God tough crowd no its not jut that they have many abilities that very in both classes that I would like to put forward that there actually hybrid of the to not quite one or the other and that they can evolve further if a true high vampire gives blood I believe when that happens they get closer to higher vampire class another reason is why does regis and detlaf treat her as an equal if she were a subspecies animal they would not thats like saying chimps are our equal when clearly we are superior and there a subspecies and not just Oriana the rest of her kind alps bruxa others who have human intelligence are hybrids again this is my theory feel free to pick at it
@@samadhoosen6014 I think you got the names mixed up, vilgefortz was a mage in the books that burned regis, vintretonmerth or however you spell it was the golden dragon.
@@Matt-cw9ex thank you, yes that's villentretenmerth - I saw it in Gwent the other day. I see Vilgefortz has a reputation for curb stomping enemies through a combination of superior magic, battle skill and deception. I think it's time i read the books
I do not mind, and in truth, I would really like it, if in the next game in the universe of the witcher, we would play for the highest vampire, we already played for the witcher and how is the vampire worse? Just imagine, this power, strength, you can literally consider yourself a god and nothing can stop you or harm you, and only you decide whether to exist in peace with all other races or destroy them without hesitation for a second if they crossed your path and only you choose whether you are a monster or not.

Witchergeorge, can you do a video about gwent if u havent already?
I don't know if you made a video on this but I' ll just ask: pls do a video Aguara (or Sheefox)!
Do you think that the higher vampires or even the Elder Vamp would be able to fight or beat the Gold Dragon or gaunter o'dimm
Having read the books, I really loved the fact that blood is for Vampires what alcohol or drugs are for humans. Meaning they don't need it at all but are likely to have a taste for it and crave it.
No wonder this universe was written in eastern Europe, this check out

He could be the Elder.
@@tonyaxis3063 nah, just because we've never seen Khagmar doesn't mean he and the unseen are the same

Wrong
why do you have a theory for this, its not a mystery. Everything already is explained
They had never problems with silver. Regis even jokes about it in the book.
Hey man keep putting out these videos really love them just finished witcher 1 with your guide
Great video, glad u r back
Glad you're back with the Witcher content
Hey, could you do a video on Dimeritium? How it works, how it stops magic, ways to counter it and such? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much, I really enjoy your videos every time. It's really nice seeing you upload.

While Detlaff and Regis species is higher vampire, The Higher Vampire. And then the Ancient dude… is Super Sayain 3 Vampire
Higher vampires are epic. Their base form is enough to deal with witchers, humans and a whole city but then you have their final form. You can feel the amount of power in every wing flap.
basically elder vampires and dragons are the top tier monsters on the witcher continent
start playing again today after i put the witcher 2 save game in the witcher 3 let the fun start
Cool video. I do think that the Golden Dragon is an example of a monster at least on the level of, if not higher than that of vampires.
Dragons, higher vampires and 'Crones' are the strongest 'common' (not that theyre common, just not like an individual thing like Viy or Gaunter O'Dimm) things on the continent I think.

Can you do a lore video on the school of the Snail?
“stronger than any other creature in the witcher”

interesting -- TY
Unseen Elder versus The Golden Dragon vs gaunter o'dimm who wins and why
6:37 khagmar aswell
I was going to mention Hubert Rejk because when you confront him he says "I'm a vampire, higher of course" in the quest but the Wiki says that he isn't.

You should read the Whitcher books and post them
Why don't you do a a video about second conjunction of spheres or the exodus of the aen seidhe
Theres an animated witcher movie on netflix you should look at or review
Missed you
There was always the Bruxa controversy. Do they really count? -or could they even become higher vampires given enough time?

No I think he's a actually a Katakan if I'm not mistaken and they can appear as humans too.
@@AliceInBlunderland666 oh ok, well he lied then, because hes calling himself higher ^^
How would a jinn fair against a higher vampire?
What about the vampire that was in the tomb that you wake up and ask you what year it is ? I forget exactly it’s been so many years now

Wish i can sleep as them until another game like the witcher 3 or maybe better come again...surely i will just woke up 800 years in to the future haha
Why did I seriously think The White Flame is one too? Want he listed in the Beastiary as one?
In my opinion a higher vampire could be a bruxa like oriana or a katakan like that one vampire you kill who is brutally murdering folk and injured Priscilla, he specifically called himself a higher vampire anyways. So maybe all higher vampires are ones who are intelligent and can assume human form. There is just a different hierarchy, Like bruxa and katakans are at the lowest then higher vampires like regis and detlaff who can assume the giant bat form are mid then unseen elders are at the very pinnacle. I just don't think cdpr with all the detail they put into the game would call that one katakan a higher vampire and have him not really be one. Just my opinion tho, I enjoyed the video none the less 🙂
Yeah well one still got gun down by Geralt you know who I talk about
Ok im gonna get hate for this but I disagree shocker Oriana is a higher vampire and to me so is the doctor and the sleeping one here me out we all assume that what classifys a high from a lesser is set in stone but im going to voice my opinion ok I don't think its that simple for one most lesser vampires are animals ok and yeah Oriana can be killed by normal means yes but I think she more of a imbetween class I think all vampires that have reason are high vampires just because they don't have absolute immortality doesn't mean they are not and no im not just saying that because they have human intelligence God tough crowd no its not jut that they have many abilities that very in both classes that I would like to put forward that there actually hybrid of the to not quite one or the other and that they can evolve further if a true high vampire gives blood I believe when that happens they get closer to higher vampire class another reason is why does regis and detlaf treat her as an equal if she were a subspecies animal they would not thats like saying chimps are our equal when clearly we are superior and there a subspecies and not just Oriana the rest of her kind alps bruxa others who have human intelligence are hybrids again this is my theory feel free to pick at it
Please be gentle don't butcher me
Pretty sure burning any vampire totally to ash would kill them final.
not in witcher lore
Fire dragons
Detlaff did turn into a giant bat tho? its like one of the best fights in the game how did you miss this
Higher vampires are vampires that feast on pot heads.
I always thought Witcher 3 was overrated while I still believe that it’s because of the gameplay I love the lore
Higher Vampires are one of the most powerful, haha, tell that to Vilgefortz
Is he the gold dragon who kills Regis?
@@samadhoosen6014 I think you got the names mixed up, vilgefortz was a mage in the books that burned regis, vintretonmerth or however you spell it was the golden dragon.
@@Matt-cw9ex thank you, yes that's villentretenmerth - I saw it in Gwent the other day. I see Vilgefortz has a reputation for curb stomping enemies through a combination of superior magic, battle skill and deception. I think it's time i read the books
I do not mind, and in truth, I would really like it, if in the next game in the universe of the witcher, we would play for the highest vampire, we already played for the witcher and how is the vampire worse? Just imagine, this power, strength, you can literally consider yourself a god and nothing can stop you or harm you, and only you decide whether to exist in peace with all other races or destroy them without hesitation for a second if they crossed your path and only you choose whether you are a monster or not.
I love the higher Vampires, espacially the elder ones
He did it again, welcome back king.
Thanks Alex!
Indeed! Keep it up george
