There goes the Kaer Morhen episode! Share your thoughts and answer my questions if you can :) Several things are left out on purpose, for they will be part of episodes dedicated to other places and people. If you want to see the other episodes in the series: bit.ly/FiveThingsYouMissed
The boy died a long time ago, like before Lambert and geralt, he would've died back when the bastion was destroyed and the place was hair Ted before geralt
Geralt, Eskel and Lambert were in training during the attack on Kaer Morhen, but survived because they were on the trail (where you fight trolls with Lambert in the game) at the time. Vesimir survived by hiding under dead bodies. They boys had trained at the bastion before the attack, and the boy was killed during that attack
If my desktop wasn't trying to die on me, he'd have already succeeded in getting me to start again. I would buy it again for PS4, but I'm generally very poor.
@Ed Neward I refuse to touch Rockstar stuff until they get their act together. GTAO is a trolly cash grab, and RDO is even worse. Granted, the single player looks amazing, but, on principle, I won't give them money.
Keira: Did you honestly think you are the only Witcher i'm interested in? Geralt: Umm...of course not...you two are a great match actually. *Proceeds to jump off cliff*
I found it really hard to get down from there alive. And I had bought something from I needed from Keira and didn't bother to search it elsewhere, so I didn't want to reload previous save.
Don't know if anyone still remembers Leo from the first game. Vesemir took him under his wings and trained him. Leo was quite fond of Geralt, held him in high regards and soon formed a great friendship with him. Unfortunately he was killed at the assault on Kaer Morhen. Geralt is still very sad because of his death, telling himself that he could've saved him. Anyway you can find Leo's grave on a hill south of Kaer Morhen with burning candles and flowers decorating it. Geralt even says a few lines. "Leo's grave... A senseless death... Could've been avoided..."
I missed none on my first playthrough, but I'm quite a completionist. I cleaned up every single ? mark in all the maps except Toussaint, plus extras and played 200 hours so far (starting Hearts of Stone now)
@@TokyoQuaSaR wow, that's dope. i've tried several times but somehow i always encounter ones that are waaaay too high for my level and i abandon them, ending witch forgetting them
@@maramoldvai2958 I see. I did a mix of secondary exploration and main quests first, and after finishing the main game I just spent time running everywhere on the map to clear all the ? marks and sometimes in areas that don't even have a ? (but still have something to do sometimes). The only quest that was too high level at that point was a level 48 archgriffin in Skellige that I ended up beating although I was 37.
@@maramoldvai2958 PS. I spoke too soon I actually missed the last bonus here with Keira being behind Kaer Morhen. I actually wanted to see how she was after finishing the battle of Kaer Morhen, so I went to her house in Velen where there was a herborist mark but she wasn't there.
It was a while since i read the books, but the reason Kaer Morhen is a wreck is because at some undisclosed time before the books Kaer Morhen was attackad by a large zealous mob that killed almost all the witchers there, the only survivor of that attack that we know of is Vesemir, who fell during the defense and was believe dead by the invaders and thrown in a mass grave that line the castle walls alongside all his fellow Witchers . Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, and Coën (A book witcher) were presumably outside on the trail when this occured and so the bastion was with all certainty destroyed and the witchers there killed at the same time. The pitchfork is probably just a reference to Geralt's death.
Nice summary. The attack was led by mages, who apparently wrote and used the _Monstrum_ book to whip the peasants into an anti-witcher frenzy, which explains the enormous amount of damage done to the castle and other structures throughout the valley. What I find interesting is the possible role of Hieronymus (the resident mage) in the attack. The location of Kaer Morhen was a closely-guarded secret at the time. How did the attackers find it? Well, if you read the letter found during the "Greenhouse Effect" quest, he seems to be smitten with the sorceress to whom he is writing. He states that though he had sworn never to do so, he's going to reveal the location to her because he trusts her and wants her to come visit. It seems he may have unintentionally betrayed the school, assuming the sorceress was not as trustworthy as he supposed. (I haven't read the books yet, so this all may be an invention of CDPR rather than book canon, but it certainly would explain a lot.)
-Coën was from another school, I think. When they introduced him (I can't remember if it was to Triss or Ciri) they said it was his first winter in Kaer Morhen and that he was from Poviss. -I agree that it's from the same attack (the one that happened 50 years before Triss' birth...) and in order for the timeline to make any sense, I tend to think Geralt, Eskel & Lambert must have been pretty young at the time. Lambert is younger, but I don't think he can be too much younger. My head cannon is that Geralt & Eskel were pretty new to the Path and out at the time, but perhaps Lambert was still in training, doing something away from Kaer Morhen with others that have since died (maybe that medallion quest?). They all would have had to have the mutations by that time (though, apparently the Trial of the Grasses is done around 10). - It's a proven fact that pitchforks are the best way to kill Witchers... {spoiler} both Coën & Geralt were killed by them in the books: Coën by a 2 prong one and Geralt by one with 3. (the two that killed the boy seem to be one of each of those).
Vesemir wasn't at Kaer Morhen during the attack, that's a mistake in the games. Coen wasn't there at all, because he's not from Kaer Morhen, he's from Poviss, and he's most likely from the School of the Griffin.
There is a way to get out of Keira's conversation once its bugged. The game thinks the conversation ended but loops back to conversation. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound that notifies you when you select dialogue options. Select down a couple times depending on the options you started with and youll eventually find the leave convo option.
herb trader at goose cunt or whatever the name was,couldnt buy my arenaria,was very pissed that i couldnt brew all kinds of shit you need that damn white flower for
3:20 It is said the attack of fanatics was 50 years before the birth of Triss. Triss is roughly 55 years old during the third game (she uses magic to make herself look younger - just like every other sorcerres), so the attack was around the year 1170 or so. Btw. 1170 is said to have been the best year for Toussaint, as the wine from that year should the most delicious wine ever made in Toussaint :)
Never knew Lambert could die at the battle. Bit surprising they’d kill 2 main characters at the same time, but then again, I’d expect nothing less from CDPR. They leave no stone unturned
@@celuloiddreamer There are videos that show the location but if you want to find it by yourself, it is in the middle area of lower parts of the map(right side of the river which goes down and out of the map)
It's not true though. The 2 options are to keep trading or leave the conversation, but the player can't see them. The audio queue that the player is swapping options is there, it is up to you the player to 50/50 your way out while unable to see those 2 options.
during the fight its easy to overlook hjalmaar fighting, he takes a fight into a portal and comes victorious out of the next and if the crazy dude is still alive he does the same but never returns, as far as i remember he was fataly injured before he goes out fighting into a portal
I just saw that while replaying! I laughed a lot. He got yonked through a portal, and a couple seconds later comes out of another brushing it off, saying "That all? Skellige's winters are colder"
If you manage to bring everyone, the only two characters missing during Vesemir's funeral are Triss, Yennefer and Hjalmar's friends Vigi the Loon and Folan. Avallac'h shows up at the end. Yennefer and Triss are a few meters ahead talking with Ciri and Avallac'h. Ermion says he must tend to the wounded after you talk to him. Probably Folan. His character entry ends at describing his pelting the Giant of Undvik with arrows. No mention of the battle with the Hunt. Vigi's says he died during the battle. And I believe there's no way to prevent his death unless you don't bring Hjalmar along.
Kanvish I know....I’m on my 3rd playthrough right now, on level 18, haven’t even gone to Skellige yet, and am already at 60 hours. Hoping to get to 100% this time. Haven’t done either of the DLC’s yet either. I’ve been saving them until I can’t stand it anymore, so will get to them after completing this run. I had to play this again after playing Red Dead 2 and God of War recently, and all the talk of them being games of the generation. Both were very good, I enjoyed them both a lot, but Witcher 3 is just so special.....for me it is the best of the best.
I bought the game for a huge discount while it was on sale. I ended up buying another copy at full non-discount price and gave it away because I felt like I robbed the developers.
Kaer Morhen and the areas around it hold deep secrets, of a time when witchers made them their home. Now only ruins remain, a sad reminder of great things now gone, like the Elves in The Lord of the Rings.
I just started reading the books and in Blood of Elves, when Triss arrives at Kaer Morhen to help the witchers with Ciri, she mentions Monstrum, A Portrayal of Witchers. This is the same book that starts the forge quest with the Ifrit. Triss mentions that it was written by another mage and because peasants read it and got angered, this book was part of the reason they sacked Kaer Morhen. I thought that was an interesting detail.
I don't know if it mentioned in the comments before but you can also find an Easter Egg called "Letter of Apology" written by "C. de P. R." in the tower where you can hunt for Wolf School Gear. This letter is an apology from CD Projekt RED for the presence of bugs and glitches in the game.
So with that haunted bastion situation is somewhat explained in first part of the game After you start new game in TW1 after you kill first wave of bandits and if you try to talk to vesemir he says: "I once defended Kaer Mohren, this time they will not get it" After the whole battle when you choose to ask Vesemir: "You mentioned you once defended Kaer Mohren" He tells you that kaer mohren was a place full of life and 23 witchers (15 were living there not returning for winter) just were living there with their 40 students and compared the amount of people who attacked he said that was a huge disandvantage And then he mentions the leaflets which had on purpose to encourage people to fight which were a lot They couldn't capture Kaer Mohren, because wizard helped, but it ended with only one Witcher remaining and it was Vesemir. During this all the attackers killed everybody including young boys. I honestly for that info i speccialy opened the game and replayed the prologue And also i tried walking in witcher 1 across the walls but honestly I found nothing
Looks like, i´m not the only one, feeling bad about killin the Troll. I felt awefull, after I Discoverd, that he defended Kaer Morhem for centurys. He although killed drwonlings, like a lot. So Witcher Boys back in the days didn´t had that much problems with them, while train in the Lake. Sadly the Witcher´s never found him, made him a cool Neighbour or something like this. Even young Witchers could learn something here - Not every Monster is a bad Monster. Often they can be pretty usefull, instead of killing them.
Me before watching the video : This is just gonna be another clickbait video... Me after watching the video : Wait a minute, i really missed most of these things...
"10 clickbait things you probably missed: 1) The medallion around Geralt's neck is shaped like a wolf's head. 2) The crones have Welsh accents, which is appropriate because modern Wales is very much like Velen. 3)..."
After 850 hours ingame I found something else in Kaer Morhen. When you go to the circle of elements with Lambert and leave your swords behind with the trolls, you can follow them to their home. The trolls have some dialogue between them while they walk back. Then when you arrive at their home, they warn you not to enter. If you ignore them, they will attack you. I love this game. Such insane level of detail went into it that I keep discovering new stuff.
@@xLetalis There is a way but you must stand outside the bubble on the right side, if i remember correctly. I was stuck only the first time. Since then i always manage. 14:23 it's not the proper way to leave Kiera after you buy nice stuff from her.
That getting stuck with Keira part: the dialogue options are still there, just invisible. Even though you can't see them, if you press the down arrow once to select the exit option and hit enter you will get out of the conversation.
@@xLetalis I stumbled upon it accidentally, it only seems to work with arrow keys, not with mouse. It's worked for me consistently on 2 replays, but I'm not sure if there's more to it than that.
And here I thought I did everything on my second play through. Is it even possible to complete this game 100%? Will need to do a replay of the base game after I finish the expansions. Thanks for the content and I just subscribed :)
You can never complete 100% without multiple playthroughs because there are too many things to find, and many of them are mutually exclusive based on your choices.
That makes me wonder how many things can you do across the whole game with those artifacts l I’m e how many haunted missions or needy souls is there stuff to uncover across the whole map
When going by boat to the Ruined Watchtower where the Basic Wolven Silver and Enhanced Steel Sword are, if you sail closely on the left-hand side bank of the lake, you will find an easel and chest. And if you face where the easel and the suppose 'painting' is, it's a scenic view of the lake. I wonder who left it there.
I got another two details for you: During quest where you look for Eskel hunting forktails, you can sneak up on Eskel, (just talk to him instead of checking out goat) which changes dialogue a little. Also, during quest with Lambert, you can shoot crossbow at trolls, and if you do they stop throwing rocks, and later their dialogue change.
I loved how Eskel died immediately in the Netflix Witcher season 2. It made me so happy. I really felt like the writers cared so much about the characters and the fans! -said literally no one ever
in the keira metz thing you can get unstuck actually the option is just not visible meaning just go down one notch and you can select the option to end the dialogue. it happened to me once
@@morgan0__o probably cause already played so many times is trying to let the memories stabilize, and most likely because it takes such a long time to complete, which can distract you from other things, but on the other hand, it's the Witcher, it's just so replayable... You get to the middle and you already want to restart the game lol
Hey I do not know if you have coved this but I just literally came across a hidden quest in KEAER MORHEN it’s called the greenhouse effect you find it were you would find ESKEL in the fork tail hunt but Instead of going where The folktale takes you turn left you will find a path through the mountains or hills then the weather will change you
Feel the same :) everytime i have it parked way in the back of my mind a new good vid comes out about it and I'm right back where I was after I finished it the first time = wishing I could reset my mind and start it over :) Let's get that Cyberpunk stuff releashed so cdpr can get back to the Witcher world ;)
I'd love to actually forget the story and just replay it again without knowing it. I just finished the game for the First time yesterday and I almost cried ať the end, because I thought that Ciri died in my playthrough. When I found her in the taveren I was so fucking happy. She is probably my favorite character ofc with Geralt
@@JB-nl3xy The same thing happened to me. I was so sad when I thought she died. But I freaked out when I found her in that tavern. You know I wonder what would happen if the emperor found out that Geralt had lied to him. In that ending, it says that her exploits became famous so it wouldn't be that far fetched. That would be an awkward conversation between the 3 of them.
You've missed another one: When playing through "The Lord of Undvik", you can first free Folan from the Trolls, and later Vigi from the Giant. If you manage to do so, they will appear alongside Hjalmar in Kaer Morhen, depending on if Hjalmar is king or not of course. Don't know if they appear without him though.
@@croquetasdepollo8883 if I recall (been a year since I played heavily in Kaer Mohren), it’s on a hill/mountain and I think it looks down into a valley. It looks like a small stepped pyramid with a sword on the top. You’ll definitely find a quite on TH-cam to find it :)
I have not scrolled through all the comments to check if anyone else has said this, but I think the order of events from the first bullet point is thus: 1) Letter gets written while the main raiding party lies in wait/ prepares for the attack and sent to the recipient found in the cave 2) Letter is recieved and the reinforcements make their way to Kaer Morhen 3) Reinforcements, still carrying with them the letter containing the instructions, are intercepted by the troll and killed. That's my take on the matter, at least.
NOTE ON #7: You CAN leave the dialogue with Keira if the options don't show. They're still there, just invisible. And she is NOT the only person this happens with. I've seen it when speaking to Crach an Craite and one of the travelling merchants in Novigrad and one of the innkeepers, forgot which one though.
Me : Completed every quest marker, every area and every mission. "I feel so happy that I finally finished the entire game along with DLCs. Surely there can't be anymore secrets" xLetalis : *Allow me to introduce myself*
You didn't mention that Berengar is a witcher you can actually meet in the first game as a side quest. Also, you probably know this, but you can find a grave of a witcher who died in the first game, Leo. Lastly, did you know that at the very start of the game you can pick up Yennefer's crow thingy from the opening cinematic and return it to her later?
Number 2...I think the events that resulted in the ghosts took place AFTER Geralt and Lambert trained. When Kaer Morhen was attacked and only Vesemir survived, there WERE youths in training at that time. Lambert (the last Witcher to undergo the full training course) had just left...the attack took place and all the witchers and the youths in training (aside from Vesemir) were slain...also lost were the tomes and info on how to complete the Trial of the Grasses, which is why there are no more Witchers after Lambert. Geralt didn't see ghosts in the Bastion when he trained because they are the ghosts of the witchers and trainees who fell in the attack on KM which occurred ended the place as a fully functioning Witcher school and after Geralt had finished his training. Remember, Lambert is the youngest and the last of the Witchers of the Wolf School.
Oh and I was able to actually not get stuck with Keira in the shop dialog. You don't actually just stand there, the dialog option to shop or leave is actually still there and selectable, but just doesn't appear (this is the bug). If you press select (X for me), you'll enter her shop again. If you press down once and then select, you'll leave. I was on PS4 though so I don't know if this will work with others.
The forge quest threw me off every time because I never found the original book but I found a way to glitch into the room behind but couldn’t actually finish the quest, now I finally found out what I missed my past like 7 playthroughs
For the question in number 2: In the books there are just a few references about geralt or any other witcher’s training (a part from ciri) and as far as I remember the bastion wasn’t mentioned at all. The only thing that can be linked to the books are the two pitchforks that killed the boy which reminds (spoiler for the books) geralt of that time when he was killed at the end of the last book during a pogrom in the city of rivia by a pitchfork, as predicted by ciri. Infact, when she was at kaer morhen for her first time, she had a sort of trance during which she predicted the death of coën (another witcher) by a tooth ( the allegory of a sword) and geralt’s death caused by three teeth (allegory of a pitchfork). This is all for the books. Making theories, i think geralt and lambert trained there in the bastion somehow before the carnage, otherwise geralt would already know what had happened there and wouldn’t need to investigate with keira’s lamp and all...
Elessar 3791 the first book mentions an attack on kaer morhan, previous to the events in the witcher 1, and before the time of geralt, where kaer morhan which used to be teeming with witchers was destroyed with a single survivor- vezimier. I believe that the bastion was destroyed at that time- and so before geralt trained there.
Reut Shalev What you say it is true. I forgot to mention the battle of kaer morhen (the mention of the unburied skulls right?) but in this case, it imply that when geralt trained at the bastion the wraiths were not present... Anyway it could be that vesimir was the only survivor (i don’t remember if it is said in the book) what it is sure is that vesimir created most of the present witchers of the school of the wolf and he knows the mutations and all.
Somewhere in the second game, during those awesome little stylized cutscenes, they mention the pitchfork death of Geralt. God i missed having those in the 3rd game, the art was so cool.
1. If the troll didn't kill the guy, attackers would get help and the few witchers that were there might've lose more than just mutagens that Geralt chases in the first game. 2. It's probably the attack that destroyed the castle and Vesemir was the only one who survived. Very, very long time ago and you're right, it should be haunted when Geralt was training there. 3. "Monstrum, or a Portrayal of Witchers" is a propaganda book, it lead to that attack from #2. Ifrit is the djinn of fire in the witcher universe, elemental basically ;) 4. Berengar is from witcher 1, he was a witcher who hated beeing a witcher and just eneded up running away and you influence what happens to him. 5. I remember this scene beeing in the original game, no clue why did CDPR delete it! 9. Dammit... So there is something I missed afterall....
"it should be haunted when Geralt was training there" --- The attack happen after Geralt finished his training. Triss makes it clear in the Blood of Elves that after the attack witchers took no new apprentices and that only those witchers who weren't in the castle at the time survived.
@@Synthia17 you idea isn´t dumb at all, int the books there are many "gray areas" about that.. (atack of kaer morhen and how long ago was along with geralt/triss age). if we dont consider the game lore (witcher 1 and 3) and take only the books as reference, in the 3rd Book Triss tell to Ciri (and the she keep to herself a lot of this information) about the atack and she says the only survivors was not in the Fortress when it was attacked. Geralt it's supposed to have about 100 years, Triss about 40's and this attack was 50 years before Triss was Born (acording to Triss), so we have about 10 years in wich Geralt may be or may be NOT was a Witcher Yet.. then in that time boys in trainning was in another place? it seems that may be. Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, as very young witchers (10 years?, in fact Eskel and Geralt has nearly the same age but Lambert it's described as Younger than these Two...) in this time was on "the path" ?? . For that fact and others your Thought aren't dumb, seems to be very reasonable have the question if Geralt was trained after the attack... in the same book Triss says that in Kaer Morhen no students has taken since 25 years... so... according to this, trainees for witchers must be had after the attack... There a lot of more facts to have reasonables questions about ages , and events...
I was playing the Witcher a bit today, and when I was driving Lamberts boat in Kear Morhen I noticed a rather interesting item. There was an empty painters canvas for some reason, and that made me think of the hidden paintings CDPR put around the world. Found it a funny little detail
Hey! Another nice detail is that if you lose the horse race against Eskel, he will ask for Mahakaman spirit, which you can later give him. He has a few lines like "Lambert bet you'd forget" or something. It's really cute!
@Lynton Fleming I think she wasn't. I don't remember Yen being gravely wounded when she leaves on the boat with Geralt dying. Just exhausted by her magic powers. It's been a while since I read it tho, I might be wrong.
probably nobody will read this since its over a year late. I just played today the battle of Kaer Morhen for the first time. I got the secret 7.2, where u get stuck on the conversation. Maybe it has been patched since this video came out, but I was able to leave the conversation. No dialogue options appeared, but I pressed down and E(pc), as if the conversation menu was there, and Geralt said goodbye and got me out of there
9:40 When the (second) dialog with Kira bugs out, the dialog options are just invisible, so you can actually press 2 + Enter to exit or 1 + Enter to get back into the trading window.
Based on the letter from the said mage and some notes of him you find elsewhere in Kaer Morhen you can understand that he's the one who revealed the location and caused the attack. He is revealing location in your letter, in fact, and later you find his remains when going through teleport in a tower. So he told the secret location to a colleague and then, some time later, attackers have come. It's mentioned, that witchers made him promise, that he'll never reveal the location to anybody, but he thinks the addressee can be trusted.
I recently replayed the game and I do remember being weirded out after trying to trade with Keira (wasn't aware of the glitch), however, I was able to get out of the 'bug'. Since i was using a controller, if I pressed up and down I could hear the sound effect for scrolling through options, so its just a matter of blind picking an option and ending the conversation, but it is possible to leave it without killing the game :D
There was an attack on Kaer Morhen in The Witcher 1, the letter in the beginning of this video was written by one of the main villains and sent to another party of the attackers. Berengar was a witcher of Wolf, he also was in The Witcher 1.
I actually got stuck with keira there is a hidden dialogue option you can use that to get out of the dialogue just use your Arrow keys to navigate the options one of them is the shop another one of them is the dialogue exit
in the uma's vomit scene if you romance yennefer, when eskel is approaching to vipe yennefer's dress she askes for geralt to do it but if you don't romance yen when eskel approaches she says that she won't bite :D
One of the only games I would willingly sacrifice countless hours (sometimes dozens) of progress to save-scum my way back to something bad not happening. If I tried to just carry on with the negative consequences, I never made it far, my heartache wouldn't let me.
Gaetan (the cat school witcher you can meet in a mission) is stabbed by a pitchfork although it didn't kill him. He said it almost punctured his lungs though
I love the first thing with the dead Drowners and the huge Troll. Like a little Witcher 1 Flashback. Also felt kinda bad to kill him after i learned what he did... To be honest i really loved all of the things you could do in Kaer Morhen. So many memories, so many new things you learn about the Witcher-training there... the overall atmosphereis also quite beautiful. Great video btw :-)
Fanserker I dont think Vizima has enough secrets. The ones I have found are: 1. Gwent player chilling in the garden 2. Secret treasure in the garden 3. Broken conversation with the guy that knows about all wars
He did it because he was afraid of the Salamandra, in The Witcher 1 you have the option to kill him or spare him, but he was planning get his vengeance on Azar Javed
@xLetalis I dont know if anyone mentioned this already, but the bug with Keira is NOT a softlock. the options ARE there just invisible. when you exit the shop, simply press down once and press A. if it doesnt work the first time, try it again. Its only a mere graphical glitch.
that moment when you thought you found it all after like 6 or 7 playthroughs and your wrong XD. i actually never found that greenhouse effect area on my own XD
I watched your channel a lot when the Wild Hunt came out. This is my favorite game and being from Poland it makes me super happy someone still loves it (:
In your video of Velen you see Gaetan (the witcher of the School of the Cat) and in his lair there is a letter. Isn't that about the same boy that you see here who has to hide in those ruins of the bastion in Kaer Morhen and got killed by pitchforks? Extra detail is that Gaetan was in that town in Velen also attacked by people with pitchforks.
That whole getting stuck with Keira Metz after trading thing is a bug and you're actually able to get out of it. The same thing happened to me. The bug causes the conversation options to become invisible. All you have to do is go down and select the option to leave.
Hey xLetalis! I dont remember if you covered this but while searching for eskel when baiting the forktail, it plays an alternate cutseen if you find eskel before the goat. Geralt basically sneaks up on him. I'll try and post this on a more recent video too. Thank you for all this great content!
You actually can leave the convo with Kiera after trading with her. At least I was able to on my ps4. I just acted like the options were there, and it let me select the leave option, even though it wasn't visible.
For #3, the Witcher's Forge includes an Ifrit as explained, though Ifrits are the mortal realm incarnation of a flame Genie. Seems whoever was there before bound an Ifrit to his forge, equating to an infinite heat source as genies cannot break free of their bonds by harming their masters.
As far I remember, the only witchers that survived the invasion were actually out, in the path. Vasemir, Geralt and the others were witchers already and came back to find a destroyed fortress.
When interacting a 2nd time with Keira at Kaer I actually didn't have to restart or anything, the options just became invisible so I only had to go down the 2nd option to leave and select it as if it was there and it worked.
Good thing I was able to discover your videos! I'm on my 2nd time playing the game and trying to complete all quests and stuff (you know, all the question marks lying around the map) and these additional videos are helping me out to fulfill more! Great works! Subscribed!

The boy died a long time ago, like before Lambert and geralt, he would've died back when the bastion was destroyed and the place was hair Ted before geralt
@@AnthonyJayFoxxx most likely Triss Marigold
Geralt, Eskel and Lambert were in training during the attack on Kaer Morhen, but survived because they were on the trail (where you fight trolls with Lambert in the game) at the time. Vesimir survived by hiding under dead bodies. They boys had trained at the bastion before the attack, and the boy was killed during that attack

If my desktop wasn't trying to die on me, he'd have already succeeded in getting me to start again. I would buy it again for PS4, but I'm generally very poor.
@Ed Neward I refuse to touch Rockstar stuff until they get their act together. GTAO is a trolly cash grab, and RDO is even worse. Granted, the single player looks amazing, but, on principle, I won't give them money.
Keira: Did you honestly think you are the only Witcher i'm interested in?

Don't know if anyone still remembers Leo from the first game.
Vesemir took him under his wings and trained him. Leo was quite fond of Geralt, held him in high regards and soon formed a great friendship with him. Unfortunately he was killed at the assault on Kaer Morhen.
Geralt is still very sad because of his death, telling himself that he could've saved him.
Anyway you can find Leo's grave on a hill south of Kaer Morhen with burning candles and flowers decorating it. Geralt even says a few lines.
"Leo's grave... A senseless death... Could've been avoided..."

I missed none on my first playthrough, but I'm quite a completionist. I cleaned up every single ? mark in all the maps except Toussaint, plus extras and played 200 hours so far (starting Hearts of Stone now)
@@TokyoQuaSaR wow, that's dope. i've tried several times but somehow i always encounter ones that are waaaay too high for my level and i abandon them, ending witch forgetting them
@@maramoldvai2958 I see. I did a mix of secondary exploration and main quests first, and after finishing the main game I just spent time running everywhere on the map to clear all the ? marks and sometimes in areas that don't even have a ? (but still have something to do sometimes). The only quest that was too high level at that point was a level 48 archgriffin in Skellige that I ended up beating although I was 37.
@@maramoldvai2958 PS. I spoke too soon I actually missed the last bonus here with Keira being behind Kaer Morhen. I actually wanted to see how she was after finishing the battle of Kaer Morhen, so I went to her house in Velen where there was a herborist mark but she wasn't there.
It was a while since i read the books, but the reason Kaer Morhen is a wreck is because at some undisclosed time before the books Kaer Morhen was attackad by a large zealous mob that killed almost all the witchers there, the only survivor of that attack that we know of is Vesemir, who fell during the defense and was believe dead by the invaders and thrown in a mass grave that line the castle walls alongside all his fellow Witchers . Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, and Coën (A book witcher) were presumably outside on the trail when this occured and so the bastion was with all certainty destroyed and the witchers there killed at the same time. The pitchfork is probably just a reference to Geralt's death.
Nice summary. The attack was led by mages, who apparently wrote and used the _Monstrum_ book to whip the peasants into an anti-witcher frenzy, which explains the enormous amount of damage done to the castle and other structures throughout the valley.
What I find interesting is the possible role of Hieronymus (the resident mage) in the attack. The location of Kaer Morhen was a closely-guarded secret at the time. How did the attackers find it? Well, if you read the letter found during the "Greenhouse Effect" quest, he seems to be smitten with the sorceress to whom he is writing. He states that though he had sworn never to do so, he's going to reveal the location to her because he trusts her and wants her to come visit. It seems he may have unintentionally betrayed the school, assuming the sorceress was not as trustworthy as he supposed. (I haven't read the books yet, so this all may be an invention of CDPR rather than book canon, but it certainly would explain a lot.)
-Coën was from another school, I think. When they introduced him (I can't remember if it was to Triss or Ciri) they said it was his first winter in Kaer Morhen and that he was from Poviss.
-I agree that it's from the same attack (the one that happened 50 years before Triss' birth...) and in order for the timeline to make any sense, I tend to think Geralt, Eskel & Lambert must have been pretty young at the time. Lambert is younger, but I don't think he can be too much younger. My head cannon is that Geralt & Eskel were pretty new to the Path and out at the time, but perhaps Lambert was still in training, doing something away from Kaer Morhen with others that have since died (maybe that medallion quest?). They all would have had to have the mutations by that time (though, apparently the Trial of the Grasses is done around 10).
- It's a proven fact that pitchforks are the best way to kill Witchers... {spoiler} both Coën & Geralt were killed by them in the books: Coën by a 2 prong one and Geralt by one with 3. (the two that killed the boy seem to be one of each of those).
Vesemir wasn't at Kaer Morhen during the attack, that's a mistake in the games. Coen wasn't there at all, because he's not from Kaer Morhen, he's from Poviss, and he's most likely from the School of the Griffin.
its a story but its a bit unthinkable some crowd with pitchfork could won against a good number of witchers...
@@Komix777 Ah, it was maybe 5 or 6 years ago since i last read them so clearly i have forgotten a few things :P thx for correcting me.
There is a way to get out of Keira's conversation once its bugged. The game thinks the conversation ended but loops back to conversation. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound that notifies you when you select dialogue options. Select down a couple times depending on the options you started with and youll eventually find the leave convo option.
Yeah, I scrolled down to see if this was mentioned since I've recently been streaming the game. Basically just makes the dialogue options invisible.
Yeah and that actually happened with several merchants during the game, I think the armorer in Arinbjorn too
herb trader at goose cunt or whatever the name was,couldnt buy my arenaria,was very pissed that i couldnt brew all kinds of shit you need that damn white flower for
3:20 It is said the attack of fanatics was 50 years before the birth of Triss. Triss is roughly 55 years old during the third game (she uses magic to make herself look younger - just like every other sorcerres), so the attack was around the year 1170 or so.
Btw. 1170 is said to have been the best year for Toussaint, as the wine from that year should the most delicious wine ever made in Toussaint :)
I’m late to the party, but Geralt was born around 1170 also, seeing as he’s around 100 in Witcher 3
#8 could also be a reference to the opening of Shrek, as he uses a fairy tale book as toilet paper.
heh, I suppose
Shrek immediately came to my mind when I saw it XD
Never knew Lambert could die at the battle. Bit surprising they’d kill 2 main characters at the same time, but then again, I’d expect nothing less from CDPR. They leave no stone unturned
Haha Letails goes like, "Let me see what happens if I don't do anything... OMFG HE DIES"
You can find Leo's (a witcher who dead on the first game) grave in Kaer Morhen.

@@justforfunpagla I have to play the game a 2nd time to not kill her... also not kill Ciri... hahaha
during the fight its easy to overlook hjalmaar fighting, he takes a fight into a portal and comes victorious out of the next and if the crazy dude is still alive he does the same but never returns, as far as i remember he was fataly injured before he goes out fighting into a portal
Noticed that too, absolutely loved it. Unfortunately the crazy guy died for me tho
Caranthir : "You cannot use our portals to fight us on our territory !"
Hjalmar : "Observe"
Nahh he appears again leaving from another portal. He even says skellegue s colder than where the portal went
I just saw that while replaying! I laughed a lot. He got yonked through a portal, and a couple seconds later comes out of another brushing it off, saying "That all? Skellige's winters are colder"
If you manage to bring everyone, the only two characters missing during Vesemir's funeral are Triss, Yennefer and Hjalmar's friends Vigi the Loon and Folan.
Avallac'h shows up at the end. Yennefer and Triss are a few meters ahead talking with Ciri and Avallac'h.
Ermion says he must tend to the wounded after you talk to him. Probably Folan. His character entry ends at describing his pelting the Giant of Undvik with arrows. No mention of the battle with the Hunt.
Vigi's says he died during the battle. And I believe there's no way to prevent his death unless you don't bring Hjalmar along.
Got almost 700 hours in the game, that is 4 years old now and i still learn something new about it.
*Cyberpunk2077 +10Hype points*
Kanvish I know....I’m on my 3rd playthrough right now, on level 18, haven’t even gone to Skellige yet, and am already at 60 hours. Hoping to get to 100% this time. Haven’t done either of the DLC’s yet either. I’ve been saving them until I can’t stand it anymore, so will get to them after completing this run.
I had to play this again after playing Red Dead 2 and God of War recently, and all the talk of them being games of the generation. Both were very good, I enjoyed them both a lot, but Witcher 3 is just so special.....for me it is the best of the best.
2019 8/19 still playing the game
Steve Gad I bought it less than two weeks ago and have 100 hours on it.
I bought the game for a huge discount while it was on sale. I ended up buying another copy at full non-discount price and gave it away because I felt like I robbed the developers.
I put over 600 hours in and did everything you can possibly do in the game at level 100!!
Kaer Morhen and the areas around it hold deep secrets, of a time when witchers made them their home. Now only ruins remain, a sad reminder of great things now gone, like the Elves in The Lord of the Rings.
To be fair it was a bastion of some dark history with the kids dying and all. Perhaps it was for the best that it's story came to an end.
I just started reading the books and in Blood of Elves, when Triss arrives at Kaer Morhen to help the witchers with Ciri, she mentions Monstrum, A Portrayal of Witchers. This is the same book that starts the forge quest with the Ifrit. Triss mentions that it was written by another mage and because peasants read it and got angered, this book was part of the reason they sacked Kaer Morhen. I thought that was an interesting detail.
I don't know if it mentioned in the comments before but you can also find an Easter Egg called "Letter of Apology" written by "C. de P. R." in the tower where you can hunt for Wolf School Gear. This letter is an apology from CD Projekt RED for the presence of bugs and glitches in the game.
heard of it but haven't seen it :)
14:20 “Geralt couldn’t bare Keira sleeping with Lambert, and jumped off a 50ft cliff”
So with that haunted bastion situation is somewhat explained in first part of the game
After you start new game in TW1 after you kill first wave of bandits and if you try to talk to vesemir he says: "I once defended Kaer Mohren, this time they will not get it"
After the whole battle when you choose to ask Vesemir: "You mentioned you once defended Kaer Mohren"
He tells you that kaer mohren was a place full of life and 23 witchers (15 were living there not returning for winter) just were living there with their 40 students and compared the amount of people who attacked he said that was a huge disandvantage
And then he mentions the leaflets which had on purpose to encourage people to fight which were a lot
They couldn't capture Kaer Mohren, because wizard helped, but it ended with only one Witcher remaining and it was Vesemir.
During this all the attackers killed everybody including young boys. I honestly for that info i speccialy opened the game and replayed the prologue
And also i tried walking in witcher 1 across the walls but honestly I found nothing
Isn’t that the events that happen during Netflix animated movie Nightmare Of The Wolf
@@eversobritish1335 yes, but sadly Netflix changed many things about it 🙂
Looks like, i´m not the only one, feeling bad about killin the Troll. I felt awefull, after I Discoverd, that he defended Kaer Morhem for centurys.
He although killed drwonlings, like a lot. So Witcher Boys back in the days didn´t had that much problems with them, while train in the Lake.
Sadly the Witcher´s never found him, made him a cool Neighbour or something like this. Even young Witchers could learn something here - Not every Monster is a bad Monster. Often they can be pretty usefull, instead of killing them.
I mean it helps when they get paid for putting their lives on the line for killing something that could possibly kill u instead lol

After 850 hours ingame I found something else in Kaer Morhen.
When you go to the circle of elements with Lambert and leave your swords behind with the trolls, you can follow them to their home. The trolls have some dialogue between them while they walk back. Then when you arrive at their home, they warn you not to enter. If you ignore them, they will attack you.

When going by boat to the Ruined Watchtower where the Basic Wolven Silver and Enhanced Steel Sword are, if you sail closely on the left-hand side bank of the lake, you will find an easel and chest.

I wondered if it was Lambert as he seems to be the only one who goes sailing on the lake.
@@richardwhaler8717 lambert, lambert, what an artist.
I got another two details for you: During quest where you look for Eskel hunting forktails, you can sneak up on Eskel, (just talk to him instead of checking out goat) which changes dialogue a little. Also, during quest with Lambert, you can shoot crossbow at trolls, and if you do they stop throwing rocks, and later their dialogue change.

A dragon you will never catch :(
I'd love to actually forget the story and just replay it again without knowing it. I just finished the game for the First time yesterday and I almost cried ať the end, because I thought that Ciri died in my playthrough. When I found her in the taveren I was so fucking happy. She is probably my favorite character ofc with Geralt
@@JB-nl3xy The same thing happened to me. I was so sad when I thought she died. But I freaked out when I found her in that tavern. You know I wonder what would happen if the emperor found out that Geralt had lied to him. In that ending, it says that her exploits became famous so it wouldn't be that far fetched. That would be an awkward conversation between the 3 of them.
You've missed another one: When playing through "The Lord of Undvik", you can first free Folan from the Trolls, and later Vigi from the Giant. If you manage to do so, they will appear alongside Hjalmar in Kaer Morhen, depending on if Hjalmar is king or not of course. Don't know if they appear without him though.
I thought that's widely known
@@xLetalis Less well known than the quests you can do at Kaer Morhen, or that's at least what I thought.
If Cerys is queen, she will still send Hjalmar to Kaer Morhen, and the two will still accompany him.

Leo. Good man. What started me on the Witcher Path
Where can you find his grave?
@@croquetasdepollo8883 if I recall (been a year since I played heavily in Kaer Mohren), it’s on a hill/mountain and I think it looks down into a valley. It looks like a small stepped pyramid with a sword on the top. You’ll definitely find a quite on TH-cam to find it :)
I have not scrolled through all the comments to check if anyone else has said this, but I think the order of events from the first bullet point is thus:
1) Letter gets written while the main raiding party lies in wait/ prepares for the attack and sent to the recipient found in the cave
2) Letter is recieved and the reinforcements make their way to Kaer Morhen
3) Reinforcements, still carrying with them the letter containing the instructions, are intercepted by the troll and killed.
That's my take on the matter, at least.
NOTE ON #7: You CAN leave the dialogue with Keira if the options don't show. They're still there, just invisible. And she is NOT the only person this happens with. I've seen it when speaking to Crach an Craite and one of the travelling merchants in Novigrad and one of the innkeepers, forgot which one though.

"You cannot do that now" 14:20
You didn't mention that Berengar is a witcher you can actually meet in the first game as a side quest. Also, you probably know this, but you can find a grave of a witcher who died in the first game, Leo. Lastly, did you know that at the very start of the game you can pick up Yennefer's crow thingy from the opening cinematic and return it to her later?
Haven't played the 1st game (other than the intro) so I didn't know :( The Yennefer thing I'm saving for pt.2 of White Orchard
Well Berengar was more than just a side quest in TW1
Number 2...I think the events that resulted in the ghosts took place AFTER Geralt and Lambert trained. When Kaer Morhen was attacked and only Vesemir survived, there WERE youths in training at that time. Lambert (the last Witcher to undergo the full training course) had just left...the attack took place and all the witchers and the youths in training (aside from Vesemir) were slain...also lost were the tomes and info on how to complete the Trial of the Grasses, which is why there are no more Witchers after Lambert. Geralt didn't see ghosts in the Bastion when he trained because they are the ghosts of the witchers and trainees who fell in the attack on KM which occurred ended the place as a fully functioning Witcher school and after Geralt had finished his training. Remember, Lambert is the youngest and the last of the Witchers of the Wolf School.
Oh and I was able to actually not get stuck with Keira in the shop dialog. You don't actually just stand there, the dialog option to shop or leave is actually still there and selectable, but just doesn't appear (this is the bug). If you press select (X for me), you'll enter her shop again. If you press down once and then select, you'll leave. I was on PS4 though so I don't know if this will work with others.
You as Geralt: This troll really helped us!...
Better kill him to loot his cave!
Someone made a mod specifically to stop that happening - totally recommend it! www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/4548
That would help even more yo!
The forge quest threw me off every time because I never found the original book but I found a way to glitch into the room behind but couldn’t actually finish the quest, now I finally found out what I missed my past like 7 playthroughs
For the question in number 2:
In the books there are just a few references about geralt or any other witcher’s training (a part from ciri) and as far as I remember the bastion wasn’t mentioned at all. The only thing that can be linked to the books are the two pitchforks that killed the boy which reminds (spoiler for the books) geralt of that time when he was killed at the end of the last book during a pogrom in the city of rivia by a pitchfork, as predicted by ciri. Infact, when she was at kaer morhen for her first time, she had a sort of trance during which she predicted the death of coën (another witcher) by a tooth ( the allegory of a sword) and geralt’s death caused by three teeth (allegory of a pitchfork).
This is all for the books.
Making theories, i think geralt and lambert trained there in the bastion somehow before the carnage, otherwise geralt would already know what had happened there and wouldn’t need to investigate with keira’s lamp and all...
Elessar 3791 the first book mentions an attack on kaer morhan, previous to the events in the witcher 1, and before the time of geralt, where kaer morhan which used to be teeming with witchers was destroyed with a single survivor- vezimier. I believe that the bastion was destroyed at that time- and so before geralt trained there.
Reut Shalev What you say it is true. I forgot to mention the battle of kaer morhen (the mention of the unburied skulls right?) but in this case, it imply that when geralt trained at the bastion the wraiths were not present...
Anyway it could be that vesimir was the only survivor (i don’t remember if it is said in the book) what it is sure is that vesimir created most of the present witchers of the school of the wolf and he knows the mutations and all.
Somewhere in the second game, during those awesome little stylized cutscenes, they mention the pitchfork death of Geralt. God i missed having those in the 3rd game, the art was so cool.
Wasn't Coen killed by a pitchfork as well ? (a 2 prongs one). I don't remember, but I saw it mentonned in the comments above.
**turns on the PS4 and starts The Witcher 3 for the 6th time**
Same but on xbox
1. If the troll didn't kill the guy, attackers would get help and the few witchers that were there might've lose more than just mutagens that Geralt chases in the first game.
2. It's probably the attack that destroyed the castle and Vesemir was the only one who survived. Very, very long time ago and you're right, it should be haunted when Geralt was training there.
3. "Monstrum, or a Portrayal of Witchers" is a propaganda book, it lead to that attack from #2. Ifrit is the djinn of fire in the witcher universe, elemental basically ;)
4. Berengar is from witcher 1, he was a witcher who hated beeing a witcher and just eneded up running away and you influence what happens to him.
5. I remember this scene beeing in the original game, no clue why did CDPR delete it!
9. Dammit... So there is something I missed afterall....
"it should be haunted when Geralt was training there" --- The attack happen after Geralt finished his training. Triss makes it clear in the Blood of Elves that after the attack witchers took no new apprentices and that only those witchers who weren't in the castle at the time survived.
@@kamilszadkowski8864 Right, my bad! Completely forgot about this. For some dumb reason I was thinking Geralt came over after the attack.
@@Synthia17 you idea isn´t dumb at all, int the books there are many "gray areas" about that.. (atack of kaer morhen and how long ago was along with geralt/triss age).
if we dont consider the game lore (witcher 1 and 3) and take only the books as reference, in the 3rd Book Triss tell to Ciri (and the she keep to herself a lot of this information) about the atack and she says the only survivors was not in the Fortress when it was attacked. Geralt it's supposed to have about 100 years, Triss about 40's and this attack was 50 years before Triss was Born (acording to Triss), so we have about 10 years in wich Geralt may be or may be NOT was a Witcher Yet.. then in that time boys in trainning was in another place? it seems that may be. Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, as very young witchers (10 years?, in fact Eskel and Geralt has nearly the same age but Lambert it's described as Younger than these Two...) in this time was on "the path" ?? .
For that fact and others your Thought aren't dumb, seems to be very reasonable have the question if Geralt was trained after the attack... in the same book Triss says that in Kaer Morhen no students has taken since 25 years... so... according to this, trainees for witchers must be had after the attack...
There a lot of more facts to have reasonables questions about ages , and events...
I was playing the Witcher a bit today, and when I was driving Lamberts boat in Kear Morhen I noticed a rather interesting item. There was an empty painters canvas for some reason, and that made me think of the hidden paintings CDPR put around the world. Found it a funny little detail
Yeah i've seen it too, makes me wonder if Lambert is a painter in addition to being a poet :)
Hey! Another nice detail is that if you lose the horse race against Eskel, he will ask for Mahakaman spirit, which you can later give him. He has a few lines like "Lambert bet you'd forget" or something. It's really cute!
The boy was killed with a pitchfork? So was Geralt.
Pretty sure Yen was, too.
@Lynton Fleming I think she wasn't. I don't remember Yen being gravely wounded when she leaves on the boat with Geralt dying. Just exhausted by her magic powers. It's been a while since I read it tho, I might be wrong.
Begengar was also the witcher who can help you fight Azar Javed in the first game
Berengar was a badass.
They even wanted to set him as main char instead of geralt in the beginning.. lucky us they didnt lol although a spin off would be nice
Sadly he dies instantly on that fight lol
probably nobody will read this since its over a year late. I just played today the battle of Kaer Morhen for the first time. I got the secret 7.2, where u get stuck on the conversation. Maybe it has been patched since this video came out, but I was able to leave the conversation. No dialogue options appeared, but I pressed down and E(pc), as if the conversation menu was there, and Geralt said goodbye and got me out of there
we'll read it ;]
Yes, the option to quit is there, but it's invisible.
9:40 When the (second) dialog with Kira bugs out, the dialog options are just invisible, so you can actually press 2 + Enter to exit or 1 + Enter to get back into the trading window.
Based on the letter from the said mage and some notes of him you find elsewhere in Kaer Morhen you can understand that he's the one who revealed the location and caused the attack. He is revealing location in your letter, in fact, and later you find his remains when going through teleport in a tower. So he told the secret location to a colleague and then, some time later, attackers have come. It's mentioned, that witchers made him promise, that he'll never reveal the location to anybody, but he thinks the addressee can be trusted.
I recently replayed the game and I do remember being weirded out after trying to trade with Keira (wasn't aware of the glitch), however, I was able to get out of the 'bug'. Since i was using a controller, if I pressed up and down I could hear the sound effect for scrolling through options, so its just a matter of blind picking an option and ending the conversation, but it is possible to leave it without killing the game :D
There was an attack on Kaer Morhen in The Witcher 1, the letter in the beginning of this video was written by one of the main villains and sent to another party of the attackers. Berengar was a witcher of Wolf, he also was in The Witcher 1.
I actually got stuck with keira there is a hidden dialogue option you can use that to get out of the dialogue just use your Arrow keys to navigate the options one of them is the shop another one of them is the dialogue exit
Keira: You're not the only witcher that sorceresses are into
Geralt: Understandable, have a nice day. _jumps off cliff_
in the uma's vomit scene if you romance yennefer, when eskel is approaching to vipe yennefer's dress she askes for geralt to do it but if you don't romance yen when eskel approaches she says that she won't bite :D
LMAO the toilet paiper book. Fucking 4 years later and I still had missed that one
same here more or less ;]
Amazing! I didn't know that Lambert could die! The devs made something really incredible, hiding such treats. Congrats for the vid!
One of the only games I would willingly sacrifice countless hours (sometimes dozens) of progress to save-scum my way back to something bad not happening. If I tried to just carry on with the negative consequences, I never made it far, my heartache wouldn't let me.
Now spoilers for the book, maybe that pitchfork killing the Witcher was a reference to how Geralt died in the end of the book series. 🤔
It definitely is a reference to that :)
That's why I said reference lol
Its sad and funny but pitchforks often killed witchers
@Sándor Tóth i think there were some mentions about that. Doesnt Geralt say so? "Pitchforks -bane of the witchers" or is it my imagination ;)
Gaetan (the cat school witcher you can meet in a mission) is stabbed by a pitchfork although it didn't kill him. He said it almost punctured his lungs though
I love the first thing with the dead Drowners and the huge Troll. Like a little Witcher 1 Flashback. Also felt kinda bad to kill him after i learned what he did...
To be honest i really loved all of the things you could do in Kaer Morhen. So many memories, so many new things you learn about the Witcher-training there... the overall atmosphereis also quite beautiful.
Great video btw :-)
thank you ;]
14:22 is my reaction after contemplating the soul-crushing loneliness keira must be feeling, with the backdrop of that kaer Morhen guitar theme
Will you be doing 5 things you missed in Toussaint?
eventually yes ;]
And vizima 😁
looking forward to that one
@@geraltnroach whoa! Vizima palace will be a crazy one!
Fanserker I dont think Vizima has enough secrets. The ones I have found are:
1. Gwent player chilling in the garden
2. Secret treasure in the garden
3. Broken conversation with the guy that knows about all wars
Finally!!!😍😍
Thanks my Witcher brother from another mother 🔥🔥🔥
School*
But same father
"The Guy in question" for Berengar's blade, didn't most of us kill him in Witcher 1? I mean... Guy sold us out, deserved it.
He did it because he was afraid of the Salamandra, in The Witcher 1 you have the option to kill him or spare him, but he was planning get his vengeance on Azar Javed
If the boy was killed during the ruin of kaer morhen, the events of the prologue in the first game could have provoked the ghost to become active
@xLetalis I dont know if anyone mentioned this already, but the bug with Keira is NOT a softlock. the options ARE there just invisible. when you exit the shop, simply press down once and press A. if it doesnt work the first time, try it again. Its only a mere graphical glitch.
Playing this with the enhanced edition mod right now, so that armor location could come in handy. Thanks man
no problem ;]
In kaer morhen there is locked door but you need the key but I don't find it
that moment when you thought you found it all after like 6 or 7 playthroughs and your wrong XD. i actually never found that greenhouse effect area on my own XD
Vareos Potshoterzz sane dude, I didn’t know about the greenhouse effect. xD
dude i think i just watched 2 hours of your content about "things missed in witcher 3"
damn i love this game. thanks for the nostalgia bro!
I watched your channel a lot when the Wild Hunt came out. This is my favorite game and being from Poland it makes me super happy someone still loves it (:
I once found an easel set on the bank of the river in Kaer Morhen, with painting of the scenery. But I couldn't remember the exact location now.
sounds interesting!
I found the same easel.
In your video of Velen you see Gaetan (the witcher of the School of the Cat) and in his lair there is a letter. Isn't that about the same boy that you see here who has to hide in those ruins of the bastion in Kaer Morhen and got killed by pitchforks? Extra detail is that Gaetan was in that town in Velen also attacked by people with pitchforks.
That whole getting stuck with Keira Metz after trading thing is a bug and you're actually able to get out of it. The same thing happened to me. The bug causes the conversation options to become invisible. All you have to do is go down and select the option to leave.
Currently rewatching all your Witcher missed videos, and sheesh a long way to go, but here we go! 🔥
hey, thank you :)
Hey xLetalis! I dont remember if you covered this but while searching for eskel when baiting the forktail, it plays an alternate cutseen if you find eskel before the goat. Geralt basically sneaks up on him. I'll try and post this on a more recent video too. Thank you for all this great content!
When was the Yennefer cooking scene deleted? I remember getting it on each of my (3 I think) playthroughs without modding.
I've no idea :) Never had it by default
You actually can leave the convo with Kiera after trading with her. At least I was able to on my ps4. I just acted like the options were there, and it let me select the leave option, even though it wasn't visible.
For #3, the Witcher's Forge includes an Ifrit as explained, though Ifrits are the mortal realm incarnation of a flame Genie. Seems whoever was there before bound an Ifrit to his forge, equating to an infinite heat source as genies cannot break free of their bonds by harming their masters.
well said ;]
The Witcher and elder scrolls games are THE ONLY ones I actually searched for details like these! I feel so satisfied lol..oh and mass effect 😁🙏
I wish CDPR would buy the ME license.
9:36 funny thing is, this happened to me and I had to press the number keys a few times to get rid of that bug. No need for a force quit
As far I remember, the only witchers that survived the invasion were actually out, in the path. Vasemir, Geralt and the others were witchers already and came back to find a destroyed fortress.
When interacting a 2nd time with Keira at Kaer I actually didn't have to restart or anything, the options just became invisible so I only had to go down the 2nd option to leave and select it as if it was there and it worked.
I missed Ciri training on the Pendulum. Edit:
And Triss earings, thanks for giving me a new excuse to make a New Game Plus.
Good thing I was able to discover your videos! I'm on my 2nd time playing the game and trying to complete all quests and stuff (you know, all the question marks lying around the map) and these additional videos are helping me out to fulfill more! Great works! Subscribed!
Glad to hear :) And thank you!
