And one of the most powerful. I mean, let's put this in perspective; breaks a spoon, a sudden storm appears. Eats a fruit, causes a ghost unimaginable torment. Claps his hands, all time comes to a pause. Honestly, you wouldn't want to cross a being like that.
@@pnutz_2 Yes, it was very clever for O’Dimm to call von everic all kinds of nasty things, and then in the next sentence to admit that everything he is today is because of him.
Well, O’dimm does have his own code of ethics. He doesn’t cheat someone; you ask for something, he gives you that something. It’s the lack of specificity that gets people into trouble. You ask to become the worlds greatest lover? He turns you into a rabbit; no end to the sex in that form. You want to be able to fly through the air? He turns you into a bird. He’ll fulfill his end of the bargain, just _be very, very, very specific,_ and don’t skip on the payment.
I believed that...right up until the moment I saw him drive a spoon through a man's eye for slightly inconveniencing him...and considering what he did to professor Shakeslock -- both by blinding him unwittingly and by getting him killed through a sinister combination of bending his own rules and by indirectly setting him up to be killed -- I think it's safe to say he's less of a michievous djinn granting people's wishes literally and more of an entity of pure evil, screwing with people's lives for shits and giggles. Him being lawful in his conduct is more of a loophole than anything else. He reminds me of the Outsider from Dishonored, the only difference being that all the Outsider does is bestow special powers upon people he deems "interesting" and watch the chaos unfold without ever doing anything himself -- because he's so assured of humanity's corruption and self-destructive nature that he doesn't even need to meddle in their affairs directly. The Outsider is like a supremely bored eldritch god who finds amusement through humanity destroying itself all on its own with minimal interference on his part whereas Gaunter is like a sadistic and petty child with god-like powers that not only sets people up to destroy themselves, but he often has a hand in their destruction, either directly or indirectly.
This is exactly the way that such a powerful entity should present itself. This totally unassuming, calm, non-threatening little man. Nothing to prove. No boisterous speeches. No posturing. Too powerful to care about showing off (until later, perhaps).
Even then, you can see Geralt treading very carefully with him. Even though he realizes this entity is something to be dealt with, he knows he is powerless and it shows in all of his manners. Such amazing screen writing.
Ian Chorne “Such a shame...I quite liked her I must say” “Come to gloat? Come to take all else from me, just as you took her?” “Oh do shut up Tywin. You made a deal, you read the fine print. You get what you ask for” “But not what I want...” “Yes. Two very different things” “Why not finish it? Why not end it now and set me free?” “Free! (Laughter) Death is not freedom. Not for you. Enjoy your gold, Tywin. Ah!” (Ear cocked, he turns to the door) “Go forth, my friend. Your _son_ is waiting”
the genius writing here. you encounter him in a tavern and think he is some random guy who happens to know where yennefer is. so ofc u r in kind of debt and u think geralt is gonna pay him some coins or so....but cdpr did a whole new dlc out of it and made him something even worse °-°
Fun fact: CDPR was considering to just put him there as an NPC who simply tells Geralt where to go. But then they realized "...we can make it way cooler!" And they came up with Gaunter we saw
@Aljeane A Even Ciri once visited the world that Cyberpunk is set in. It's certainly not out of reach for a being like Gaunter O'Dimm, that appears to be far more powerful than Ciri.
@Aljeane A Can't believe you didn't figure it out yet, he can't tell Geralt because "plot" what's the point of the whole main story if he just tells Geralt where she is, simple as that. What he could do is tell you how to get her happy ending.
@Jack Dude late reply, but not forever, he will return, for sure: he likes to play games, he could easily cheat and create a world in which you would die
lackluster main story, terrible combat, ridiculolusly easy, terrible xp system. definetely a great game with great charecters and the DLC made it much better but it will defs be beaten and already there are better games, best open world game though, only skyrim and new vegas can compete in the open world genre with it.
@@TheTherekrap other than the main campaign I can't really see anything that the Witcher did better than Skyrim. (Other than graphics and animation obviously, it's on a new generation and four years newer) you had more customisation, much better side quests (guilds). Radiant quests like Witcher contacts and shorter quests were better in the Witcher though, it really impressed me how much dialogue was included with even the shortest quest. The Witcher 3 was much more of a movie game than anything had had very very little in terms of gameplay features.
@@6jackace I agree with the terrible combat. The xp system only gets terrible if you wanna hit 100 and youve done all main quests, where you get hardly any xp for anything you do at NG+. The combat is terrible compared to other RPGs, but it does fit the witcher universe pretty nice once you get used to it. Also the storytelling of Witcher 3 is among the best of any RPG game out there, including the main questline. I have played Skyrim and I like what you're able to do with Skyrim, its actually alot of fun, but when it comes to characters and story, Witcher 3 has it EASILY beat.
Well, he's just about the only person across all 3 games who gives Geralt a contract and doesn't try to deceive him or dick him over. Like he says, he just wants Geralt to show him the same honesty he showed Geralt.
Yeah i loved both DLCS buti gotta admit i'd love that the roles were reversed u know? that instead of going to Toussaint for that Vampire we would go there and find O'Dimm and discover more about him, such a inteeresting character my god
I think that was more to show you that while Geralt is a powerful and legendary witcher, he's completely powerless against some post-conjunction creatures. It was a way to show the player where Geralt stands in the pecking order, and that you can't fight your way out of everything.
Funfact: if you play hearts of stone till the end of the dlc and decide to side with o'dimm and havent find ciri yet, you will get the right conditions to a good ending for ciri from him
Late reply, but Gaunter's first name is also a reference to another creation of Stephen King's: Leland Gaunt. He's a character that also happens to have the same "deal with the devil" motif similar to Gaunter. Only instead, he gives out innocent looking trinkets to anyone who wanders in his shop and uses them for personal desires only to end up causing suffering and death.
no body So, based off of both of those allusions to King’s work, is O’Dimm the devil or whatever passes for the ultimate evil of the Witcher universe? It would seem like the answer would be “yes.”
For someone is called 'evil incarnate', Gaunter delivered what he promised. He didn't fuck around or twist any wishes like he normally would, he gave Geralt everything he promised and more.
All he wanted from Geralt was honesty and he obliged by helping him with this task, and so Gaunter being the higher demon that he is fulfills him his wish with no catch but simply out of "good" will.
O'Dimm is more powerful than the Unseen Elder but less dangerous. O'Dimm is more reasonable and gives you a chance to defeat him with the riddle. That's what I like about him. He lose sometimes even if he is omnipotent.
Thing about O'Dimm is that he's only bound by rules he set himself, even in defeat he's still victorious: Olgierd keeps his soul but has to live with the weight of what he's done throughout his life, and he's not even gone for long, as the dwarves you save on the Isle mention buying something from a 'mister Mirror or something' so O'Dimm's clearly still around even after Heart of Stone
But Netflix can't pull off shit. They only want money, do you really think they would be investing their time into adapting Gaunter into the show? Nah, they just make Yen the main character cause she's strong sexy woman and grab the money$$$
@@frenne_dilley Because Shani's a redhead and has no soul. As the old saying goes, be wary of those who have nothing left to lose, O'Dimm is wise to be nice to Shani.
GOD is such an amazing character- this entire game was already amazing but the DLCs brought such a light and gritty atmosphere with even more magic and mystery that it beckons you further in… Dammit looks like I’m going to start another play through.
@@Psycho250785 I don’t think it needs a remaster! It still holds up very well to this day. I think TW 1 & 2 deserve a remaster though. They were some great games as well. (But let’s be honest here, the biggest insult to the gaming community is that Bethesda has made 15 billion Skyrim remasters but not one Daggerfall, Morrowind, or Oblivion remasters).
Such a good villain. The perfect combination of sly, charismatic, and sinister. The world is his playground and humans, his toys...and there's not a thing anyone can do to stop him, and we all know it, he knows we know it. Even just beating him accomplishes nothing but to send him away...he could always come back later at his own fancy just to find new ways to fuck us over. I beat this guy at the end but I had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that we could and probably would see him again in the future, and he'd be worse than before. And THAT is how a good villain should be.
You do actually see his work again. There's a rare Wight in Toussaint that has a nice back story. Take a fancy to it and see what happens. If you need help, she's the only Spotted Wight you'll ever find.
Personally I don't think he's a demon. He isn't chaotic enough and while he does honor pacts he isn't bound by them like a true devil. I think he's a daemon aka yugoloth neither bound to chaos or law but the ultimate evil.
Maybe it is that I am old. But I never pondered at how void their faces and reactions are. I only remember the setting and action... Evidently that was the point. j
The way he starts to list off the things he can do for Geralt like he'll never require food nor drink, weapons supreme, body as agile or mind faster than lighting I was truly interested in who this Gaunter O'dimm really was. Like this guy can enhance Geralt even more???? How the fuck is that posible? Geralt has basically been enhanced so much he can't really go anymore.
Now that feeling belongs to red dead redemption 2. Invested 100+hours in both and got all grandamaster gear and weapons , did all legendary animal fish in rdr2 and random events and I feel rdr2 stomps only cause Arthur Morgan has more emotions than witcher 3 cast combined excluding bloody baron.
I just realized this after years of after playing the game... In the story of Faust, a scholar of the same makes a deal with the devil in the search of knowledge and magical powers. He does this by going to a *crossroads* at night and meeting with Mephistopheles, the Devil's representative. He is eventually killed by the Devil and his soul dragged to hell In Western Folklore, crossroads were thought to be points in reality where our world merged with the world of the supernatural. That's why people would usually leave things like offerings at crossroads and also why sometimes criminals would be executed and buried at crossroads so they wouldn't be able to fully leave this plane of existence. Geralt meets Gaunter O'Dimm at a crossroads. Professor Shakeslock, the man that informs Geralt of Gaunter's true nature, is a scholar and expert in the occult who went blind while trying to learn about Gaunter O'Dimm and dies after he breaks a deal he made with him. We've known this for years, but this is how it became clear to me that Gaunter O'Dimm is obviously The Devil in the flesh. God I love this game so much.
Hired muscle implies just merely helping someone complete a task without thinking too much about it, while someone else is the brains of the operation. Geralt is much more than that, since he acts as both brains and brawn when it comes to solving peoples problems.
@@Da1337Man I agree that its heavily dumbed down but he is fundamentally a hired muscle. People pay him to get rid of a problem. That Geralt has morality too and can change his decisions doesnt matter
Gaunter o'Dimm is such an nice character. He is not the typical antagonist,not the typical evil. He is so calm and he helps you too. He is not like Eredin or the Wild Hunt who just want take Ciri and her Power. This + the fact Gaunter o'Dimm is such more powerful than the Wild Hunt and the crowns makes him so nice
Whenever Geralt disagrees to help Gaunter O'Dimm, he calls Olgierd a vile and evil man and Geralt suddenly changes the topic, I think the devil is using mind control on Geralt to persuade him to help.
Gotta say, I know O'Dimm is supposed to be the villain of this story, but he sounds kinda neutral. Obviously collecting human souls is pretty shady but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, and if the individual agrees to it and then refuses to pay up when the time comes, well its hardly O'Dimm being unreasonable. Don't want an all powerful genie coming for your soul? Don't dabble in black magic. That's my rule. Lol.
The devil's best trick is making people believe he does not exist. But every single thing Gaunther O'Dimm does is evil. No random act, not even a very small one is without malicious intent. He is evil. Just follow the story again and see what happens to the people that investigate him. Or play the Blood and Wine DLC and see what happens to those that refuse, without ever striking a bargain with him.
That's the beauty of this DLCs. Too many games has this villains that could "end the world, but foiled by our hero". O'Dimm wasn't one of those. He's a loanshark.
There's nothing good than tricking the trickster , in the course of the dlc he was happy that i did his dirty work...and letting him go with olgierd soul ? Fuck no
von Everec made a deal, and a deal with a price. On my second play-through i realized that he was a dick before the deal so I let O'Dimm collect his soul.
I made a dick move, I challenged O'Dimm just for the heck of it, to show him that I can, then reloaded save and sent Olgierd where he belongs. Master Mirror does good job.
3:36 "But above all I offer a great and true adventure. An experience like no other.."

Doy you know the name of background music playing during this video?
Мирончук Руслан its called "whatsoever a man soweth"
Such a good villain. The perfect combination of sly, charismatic, and sinister. The world is his playground and humans, his toys...and there's not a thing anyone can do to stop him, and we all know it, he knows we know it. Even just beating him accomplishes nothing but to send him away...he could always come back later at his own fancy just to find new ways to fuck us over.
I beat this guy at the end but I had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that we could and probably would see him again in the future, and he'd be worse than before. And THAT is how a good villain should be.
You do actually see his work again. There's a rare Wight in Toussaint that has a nice back story. Take a fancy to it and see what happens.
If you need help, she's the only Spotted Wight you'll ever find.
@@TheKueiJinI'm aware. But you don't see him directly. That one isn't exactly is a secret.
0:00 is there a soundtrack for that ominous whistle in the beginning? with the echo and all?
Rabbitlord would be nice
watch?v=kKGmZN06lBI
@@quizzical342 ah thanks, but the whistle in this video is slightly different than in that theme. It's a bit slower and has an echo
@@bad-tempered-rodent Because Gaunter himself whispers with them.
@@HandsomeGamerGuy ohhh so there's no actual song of it... shame
"Because he's a degenerate monster in human flesh who feeda on the pain and suffering of others" *LMAO*
Geralt ma boi saved my a@@
Personally I don't think he's a demon. He isn't chaotic enough and while he does honor pacts he isn't bound by them like a true devil. I think he's a daemon aka yugoloth neither bound to chaos or law but the ultimate evil.
The only game where I don't read ahead and skip to the next bit of dialogue
i thought this is a video about the actual WILD HUNT meeting gaunter o dimm
Some day I play this game a second time.
I read wild hunt meeting.
I had a different video in my head.
Good ol G.O.D himself!
Maybe it is that I am old. But I never pondered at how void their faces and reactions are. I only remember the setting and action... Evidently that was the point.
j
The way he starts to list off the things he can do for Geralt like he'll never require food nor drink, weapons supreme, body as agile or mind faster than lighting I was truly interested in who this Gaunter O'dimm really was. Like this guy can enhance Geralt even more???? How the fuck is that posible? Geralt has basically been enhanced so much he can't really go anymore.
For me he is a djinn, it is even suggested in his name, you see...
@@pbonfanti he’s much more than that
i have to say he is more wicked than the crones
8:15 ZA WARUDO
I want to speak like Master mirror. Very enchanting.
Gaunter o'dimm getting attacked by hounds that's something I wanted to see
This Was A n Amazing- And Best Game Ever!
Now that feeling belongs to red dead redemption 2. Invested 100+hours in both and got all grandamaster gear and weapons , did all legendary animal fish in rdr2 and random events and I feel rdr2 stomps only cause Arthur Morgan has more emotions than witcher 3 cast combined excluding bloody baron.
Anyone know soundtrack used here ? i looked everywhere for it...
I just realized this after years of after playing the game...
In the story of Faust, a scholar of the same makes a deal with the devil in the search of knowledge and magical powers. He does this by going to a *crossroads* at night and meeting with Mephistopheles, the Devil's representative. He is eventually killed by the Devil and his soul dragged to hell
In Western Folklore, crossroads were thought to be points in reality where our world merged with the world of the supernatural. That's why people would usually leave things like offerings at crossroads and also why sometimes criminals would be executed and buried at crossroads so they wouldn't be able to fully leave this plane of existence.
Geralt meets Gaunter O'Dimm at a crossroads.
Professor Shakeslock, the man that informs Geralt of Gaunter's true nature, is a scholar and expert in the occult who went blind while trying to learn about Gaunter O'Dimm and dies after he breaks a deal he made with him.
We've known this for years, but this is how it became clear to me that Gaunter O'Dimm is obviously The Devil in the flesh.
God I love this game so much.
I thought this would be about the Wild Hunt meeting Gaunter.
I really thought this would be about GoD meeting the Wild Hunt.
This Guy is probably "The Devil" of Witcher's World so no one can really kill him.
How do we make the most NPC looking guy the most scary?
I noticed this guy in the tavern of whitegarden at the very beginning and knew i seen this guy before
He has the perfect dubbing in polish though, wish all could appreciate that
Gaunter O'Dimm
GOD
Ofimm is a powerfull djinn
Русская озвучка после английской кажется просто божественной
Damn i thought the wild hunt meet the o'dimm.But still watch the whole video thats what i call a villain
"Im not some hired muscle". Isnt that what Geralt basically is? xD
Hired muscle implies just merely helping someone complete a task without thinking too much about it, while someone else is the brains of the operation. Geralt is much more than that, since he acts as both brains and brawn when it comes to solving peoples problems.
@@Da1337Man I agree that its heavily dumbed down but he is fundamentally a hired muscle. People pay him to get rid of a problem. That Geralt has morality too and can change his decisions doesnt matter
i want that odimm knife ...
Gaunter o'Dimm is such an nice character. He is not the typical antagonist,not the typical evil. He is so calm and he helps you too. He is not like Eredin or the Wild Hunt who just want take Ciri and her Power. This + the fact Gaunter o'Dimm is such more powerful than the Wild Hunt and the crowns makes him so nice
Exactly, he does not seek power because he already is all powerful. He is on a whole other level that we can't see/imagine. What's next after power?
What happens if you say "no" in the end?
Geralt: "How much does he owe you, a million, two?"
Me: "His eternal soul?"
Gaunter: 😈
Interesting times when writing in some games is better than that of modern TV shows or movies
2:18 sounds like he is talking about himself
Whenever Geralt disagrees to help Gaunter O'Dimm, he calls Olgierd a vile and evil man and Geralt suddenly changes the topic, I think the devil is using mind control on Geralt to persuade him to help.
Gotta say, I know O'Dimm is supposed to be the villain of this story, but he sounds kinda neutral. Obviously collecting human souls is pretty shady but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, and if the individual agrees to it and then refuses to pay up when the time comes, well its hardly O'Dimm being unreasonable. Don't want an all powerful genie coming for your soul? Don't dabble in black magic. That's my rule. Lol.
I love how neutral torturing and murdering random people for no reason is. Very neutral. Extremely not villainous
The devil's best trick is making people believe he does not exist. But every single thing Gaunther O'Dimm does is evil. No random act, not even a very small one is without malicious intent.
He is evil. Just follow the story again and see what happens to the people that investigate him. Or play the Blood and Wine DLC and see what happens to those that refuse, without ever striking a bargain with him.
That's the beauty of this DLCs. Too many games has this villains that could "end the world, but foiled by our hero". O'Dimm wasn't one of those. He's a loanshark.
There's nothing good than tricking the trickster , in the course of the dlc he was happy that i did his dirty work...and letting him go with olgierd soul ? Fuck no
Gaunter is like the G-Man of The Witcher
Elder vampire vs o'dimm
A bitchy goth vs. a guy who can casually turn off time? *Really?*
@@Veladus now that it think about it lmao 😂
@@Veladus Not turn off, stop it, pause it.
von Everec made a deal, and a deal with a price. On my second play-through i realized that he was a dick before the deal so I let O'Dimm collect his soul.
I made a dick move, I challenged O'Dimm just for the heck of it, to show him that I can, then reloaded save and sent Olgierd where he belongs. Master Mirror does good job.
Other games be like: Adventurer, go there and retrieve/kill/save the thing, and I shall reward you.
