I'm pretty sure you never brought up the foglet quest. Brought this to your attention a few years back now. If you haggle with the quest giver bevor starting that contract he'll be unable to pay you at first, asking you to wait. This is the only quest I know that does that.
Okay, I don't think you've mentioned this one and I've got a few more noted details about The Witcher 3 written down, but they are probably not as good as this one. When you go to the von Everec estate and fight The Caretaker look down the well. There is someone's body down there?

If you want to experience the weeping angels in Doctor Who, their first appearance is in Season 3, Episode 10 "Blink". It's very much a standalone episode. The Doctor himself is barely in it. It's mostly focused on a guest actress who is only in that one episode. So you should be able to just watch that one episode without knowing very much about the show, and it really is excellent.
@Pixel Punisher Try to do it yourself. To do this, you must blink consciously. And conscious blinking is a bit different from automatic blinking. Pull it out for a minute and both your eyes water profusely as if you weren't blinking at all.
The crones’ outfits represent ways witches were often killed by witch hunters: “If you pay close attention to the design of the Crones, you'll notice that the developers included some truly creative details to their work. Each witch represents one of the many ways witches were brutally massacred during the witch hunts. “Weavess has a noose left around her neck as if she was hanged. Brewess has a lock around her neck attached to a chain to keep her tethered underwater and drowned. Finally, Whispess wears a mask over her face to hide her burns. It is confirmed that she was burned alive in Chuchote Cave by a knight she refused to help.” PLEASE do a missable quests video!
I know it’s late but something I noticed about Brewess is that her body is quite bloated and discolored, which is commonly seen in drowning victims. According to Google regarding the appearance of body of a drown victim “The usual postmortem changes of vascular marbling, dark discoloration of skin and soft tissue, bloating, and putrefaction occur in the water as they do on land though at a different rate, particularly in cold water”. Which fits Brewesses body.
All of these videos, all detailes and secrets... After all these years there is allways something new to discover. Thats why this is and will be the best videogame for a long time to come.

@@MMD12. Try Red Dead Redemption 2. I went from Witcher 3 to that and have been holding off on Kingdom Come Deliverance for almost a year because I'm afraid those two games, especially back-to-back, create a standard nothing else will ever match.
I've played this game as thoroughly as I know how 9 times and there are still so many things I've missed that Letalis videos has proven over the years. I've lost track of the ones I need to remember for my 10th playthrough when the next gen upgrade arrives.
There's a list on Nexusmods that tells you every single piece of content in the game, and in what order to do everything so you don't miss anything. That's what I used on my 100% run, and I'm sure it's an actual 100% run.
Hey brother got this detail I found in Novigrad - the beggers know that Geralt was behind the burning of WitchHunters and the death of Menge. In Hierarch square, between Vivaldi's bank and the herbalist, there is a Beggar who suggests he knows what happens. He also thanks us for that. My guess is some of the beggers work for Dijkstra and not the king of beggars. That's why he is already there when Geralt and Triss escape after lighting up the whole place. This dialogue does not always appear. I don't know what triggers it. I think I also run into another beggar with the same dialogue near the docks.
Nice timing... I just finished the Blood and Wine main quest, playing the game for the first time. I've been binging these "details missed" videos since, and just watched the last one minutes ago. Thanks for the videos, especially because I found out about a couple interesting quests that I missed.
It makes me so proud of myself that I encountered most of these details in my first playthrough because I rarely fast travelled and went in ever nook and corner and tried out different possibilities. This game is so satisfying to play.
Wow, this thing with finding Keira by following the guy... I mean who the hell implement such thing in the game. Some of the developers could thing it's a waste of time, but for us I think it makes all the difference - it makes you belive this world is alive outside of your character perspective. With all those choices and hidden interactions it makes you belive it's almost real.
I like to point ou about the theory you mentioned on 21:30 about the death of the Crones. Is that you are right, Weavess death by hanging, Brewess by drowning and Whispess by burning.
The Weeping Angels are said to be "assassins" from another world, they can only move when they're not looked at. No one knows their true form but they turn to stone if you look at them. In the show they also have friendly faces in the beginning but the more you interact with them the more angry they become. Their power is to send you back in time somewhere in the past by just touching you and they feed off the potential you had in your current time but will never fulfill. They're really creepy and dangerous, since you can't kill them or even look away.
They don't "turn to stone", they stop existing when you look at them - they are "quantum locked". I wonder why they only inhabit statues of angels though, if their true form is not that of the weeping angel.
To the crabs you mentioned in the last Video. There are actually crabs in the game, even in Skellige. I saw some in front of the cave in the melusine contract
Last video? I think that video is from 3 years ago :) But yes, glad to hear you've seen them! I have since seen a few, but never as many as I saw back then!
The crones killed and revived makes so much sense! One burned, one hanged and one drowned. That's why Brewess is equipped with the head gear (makes drowning slower, as the water flows slowly in it; somebody really wanted to make this personal), the chain on the neck used to be connected to a boulder or perhaps an anvil to drag her down, the rope tied around her to prevent the decomposing body to fall apart and float to the surface (or maybe just to prevent casting spells or swimming) and the body bloated as it actually started to decompose before she was revived. As for Weavess, not only the noose, but also just one eye looks poked out, the one under the bandages - the other one looks as if flies have laid their eggs into it and the larvae already hatched. Even her voice ressembles the buzzing of the flies. Also, she can transform to a flock of ravens, who used to feast on dead bodies, even the hanged ones, so... Whispess is the least obvious, but then again, she is the one we're told that was revived... So, basically, the tapestry in Croockback bog shows their appearance pre-mortem! As well as the cutscene in the roots of The Oak, where the magic brings every body into the best shape their physical body ever had or will have...
Also... could there be a mission about hunting down three beautiful witches and bringing them to justice - the justice being a very cruel death (extraordinarily so even for the witcher's world), which backfires and creates them as The Crones, somehow? It would require a different protagonist than Geralt and it would need to be set in a different time, but since Ciri is the Lady of Space and Time and fans are yearning to have her as a protagonist in Witcher 4, well... Could that be possible? (Also, what if xLetalis started to cooperate with the devs on these videos, not only keeping the fan base interested, but also hinting possible future story elements? The idea that Ciri herself unwittingly created The Crones as we know them is cool as heck. And beautiful. And consistent with the world's philosophy, that actions matter.)
I always thought that Brewess' head was in a basket, indicating she had been killed by beheading, like with guillotine or axe. There's a traditional image of the head of the executed falling into a basket to keep it from rolling away. But there's possibly an argument that they're all insects, too. Weavess, the spider, clearly has a spider-like compound eye and is surrounded by flies, the traditional food for spiders. Brewess is surrounded by bees, and you're right the thing on her head looks like the game models for beehives; bees make honey, and mead is made from honey; while not technically brewed, I'd consider it creative license. Whispess is the maddening whisper, and has tiny little arms sticking out in front - just like a cicada, which if you've ever tried to sleep through the night when cicadas are out in force, you know they are indeed a torture to the ears. She also comes from a cave and is covered/buried in a way unlike her sisters; cicada larvae grow underground.
that's not a bad argument as well... I just think what she has is a beekeeper's costume top, if you google medieval beekeepers you'll see what i'm talking about,
She was probably executed by placing a beehive on her head. Yep, that was a legit way of execution in rural places around Europe. Also explains her swollen appearance and pinkish skin color (due to thousands of bee stings).
I was delighted to see a details you missed video in my subscription box, and then 25 minutes, great to wind down with the day, really well done as always!!!
One detail I found which I don't think hasn't been mentioned, is to do with the Heart of the Woods quest. If you side with Harald and make a pact with the Ancient Leshen, there's a cut scene where the Lenshen appears behind you, seemingly accepting the pact. However, if you return later to those same woods and start killing wolves, you'll hear the Leshen roar and attack you with it's tree roots attack, but you won't be able to see the Leshen to kill it.
I did try killing the wolves after siding with the leshen, while making this video th-cam.com/video/Zd3T4yAuYoE/w-d-xo.html and I'm pretty sure what you describe didn't happen to me
@@terkmadugga I actually tried it again, I made the pact with the leshen and I'm killing wolves few days later in the same forest without anything attacking me
Thank you :) I suppose there is some overlap occasionally and I do reference details from previous videos but I do try to have unique details in every video
Wow! I've never seen this dialog when Geralt saves life this poor peasant (detail no 1). I've realized something lately, after seven years of playing the Witcher 3. It's about Radovid V and his ship. At first Radovid is staying on his ship in Oxenfurt. Later in the story, Radovid is moved on his ship to the Novigrad. But. The river Pontar is blocked by shallows on the river, many bridges and fallen bridges - so it's impossible to travel from Oxenfurt to Novigrad by the river even on this little boats Geralt can use. Not to mention big battle galeon. On the other hand, the river way to the south, to nilfgardian army camp, is broad and clear. So it seems for Radovid it would be easier to travel to Nilfgardians that to Novigrad. I guess it's just an omission by the devs, but since I realized that its make me annoyed whenever I'm around the river or so.
Speaking of missable quests: One quest I rarely see get mentioned is the one that can only be discovered if you explore on the seas a bit east of Ard Skellig. There's a tiny island with a very noticeable tree that has a note beneath it that unlocks a quest spanning between Skellige Isles and Velen. It involves some NPC's from a foreign land (likely Zangvebar), and it's quite interesting. It might not be that rare, but I rarely see it get listed among "missable/rare quests" on the Internet.
3:46 the weeping angels are statues that will try to kill you if look away from them but if u just look at them they will freeze up so if u just blinked they will move toward you and they're fast
Cannot see anyone told this yet so: Weeping angels are a species in doctor who that looks like statues due to their natural defense system - they will always be statues when looked upon. Waiting patiently for you to blink. For every blink the statue moves ever closer to you. Don't Blink. (Bonus info: they feed off your energy and not your body like a vampire would)
in the quest with the misborn, Geralt tells the villagers to put salt in front of their doors and if you go to the grave with the baron you can see that they did it
I love watching these. Thank you for your continued diligence in posting new content. This remains my favorite game of all time. Cannot wait for the updated version which I hope is soon. I am a little over halfway finished with the books and enjoying them as well. Thanks again and Good day to you sir.
Doctor Who's Weeping Angels comes as a fan favourite and one of the scariest *villans* The Doctor fought with. I really recommend watching some of episodes that involve them
1. Didn't know it was him asking for help. I just went straight to Keira's place (either when finding it myself, or after asking him specifically). I once found someone attacked by Nekkers. Never knew it was him. This is a really good find! 2. Knew about the Weeping Angels and its reference. But never knew that their face would change expression. And they disappear? Never realized this. Brilliant! And creepy. 2. Never found the Lambert cosplayer again after the quest. Don't know why. 3. I think everyone who has played Witcher 3 has the same experience with these refugees. Nice touch, though. 3. Never left the conversation and being accused of being a spy. 4. Carnal sins. Always bugging me that quest. And the pamphlets everywhere in Novigrad keep appearing. Another great find. 5. Haven't finished reading the books. This is great attention to detail. 6. Never came back to the drunken barber after my first cut with him. Haha... 7. Never really gave it a thought on how that Shaelmaar came to be digging underground after that ship sunk. Add that with the conversation in the Silver Salamander Inn and we've got some great storytelling. It gives the world in the game a life of its own. Outstanding! 8. I have nothing on this one. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more!
Maybe there is something more to the looking of the crones. Christian saints always carry the tool with which they were killed, for example, a saw or a cross. So it could be that here in the opposite sense (opposite, because it is not a sign of 'good martyrdom') the witches carry the torture tools of their death. But this is just an idea. Thank you for 25 minutes of pure delight xLetalis - again!!!
@@safs3098I haven't heard anything, honestly. That was just my two cents to make a dollar on what's missing. From what I've seen, CDPR is gonna be busy with Cyberpunk 2077 for a while.
I wish the Weeping Angels easter egg extended further, like if you look at them long enough, you're teleported back in time (a separate location) and Geralt would comment like "What the fuck?" In the show, if you look at them and blink, the millisecond it takes to blink, they zap you back in time and feast on the time energy created by the life you would have lived. You literally live to death.
I’d love a video about missable quests ! Been looking on internet for a complete list of quests and requirement but couldn’t find it :-/ I’m amazed to have not noticed quite a few that you mentioned in your videos ^^; Thanks for your witcher 3 videos. I loved the game before but even more with your content !
I saw those statues right after I killed that hag, I went into the mausoleum and looted that chest, when I got outside, there they were. I did not have to wait. Loved the video! Keep them coming Letalis. Stay safe :D
You can tell The Witcher 3 is absolutely amazing when after 7 years xLetalis and the community still find new details and secrets in it. Damn, do I love that game 😍
Man I love this game! It will never get old. It is my favorite game of all time. I didnt even know about it a couple of years ago then saw it in walmart for 16 and I decided to give it a try. My first rpg and money well spent.
I’ve mentioned this in your last video but. There’s a quest you can get in Velen, Lindervale where you help this old lady (I think she’s called Dolores) get her house back, Her house is called Reardon manor. Anyway if you help her by killing the monsters she will move in. Later on in the game I went to Reardon manor to see if she was they’re and she was she had made her self a house and you can see her tidying up the place. You can even ask her if the monsters had caused much damage. I just thought that was a cool detail.
I think I recall... I've done this way back in my walkthrough I think, but I will have to revisit it, in fact I think I have plans to talk about something else involving her too!
Thank you for making a follow-up and telling us more about your theory regarding the Crones, I really like your take on it! Based on your idea, I think the deaths of the three sisters allude to the most common execution methods during the witch trials - hanging, burning and drowning. While burning and hanging were way more common, the "swimming" of witches or trial by water was a common practice to decide one's innocence if charged with witchcarft and it often ended in drowning. The victim was tied up before thrown in water, so that would explain the ropes on Brewess' body. Also, bees were sometimes associated with witches as well - some believed that witches could transform into bees and commit crimes in that form - so perhaps this is what the beekeeper's headpiece refers to.
Just WOW, What a video! Glad to see the fake witcher added i saw him working in the fields too, *Most People donot Talk to the doctor in the hospital after completing the Carnal Sins quest he has additional dialogues regarding Shani* The Keira Meitz detail is Outstanding 🙏🌝
@17:16 Yay, finally, someone shares my, rather unpopular, opinion! In one of my playthroughs I left the Wild Hunt main plot and went straight to this quest to have this hairstyle for the entire game. :D
Love you're videos and the Witcher. You can see how much hard work you put into them and matching details into the books and the shows. Would love to see a missable quests video, any reason to dive back into the game. Keep up the excellent work :)
With reference to the "collar" around the Brewess' neck. You are correct, that is a shackle. Shackles mostly are iron "rings", they can be either flat or round in profile and hinged to allow them to be clamped around the pertinant bodypart and then locked closed, either with a padlock as shown here, or an iron rivet (heated then hammered over) if the intention was to make the shackles more permanant.
The last part of the video is legit the funniest thing I've seen through this entire month. You never fail to impress and entertain your audience, dear sir!
Damn, I don't know how you keep doing this, but you keep finding things I haven't seen before and I have over 1000hrs in The Witcher games (750hrs in The Witcher 3). You're amazing xLetalis. Hope you and the family are doing well. I'm looking forward to learning more about the greatest game of all time in your next video. BTW I'd still love to have you make a video about all of your favorites in The Witcher series like Favorite character, region, quest, NPC, battle and so on.
Actually, the fisstech merchant isn't locked if you burn witch hunter's place, he just dies while you're talking with Dijkstra (you can even hear fight in the background)
That little “spy” quest, I think the “real” answer is that there isn’t a spy, or if there is one, it’s not the merchant who: -first mentions the possibility of spies, which would make him an incredibly poor spy to do so -the asking about the Redanian soldiers’ missives was probably just poorly chosen small talk topic -Florens just means he’s a merchant; any decent spy isn’t going to want to be paid in coin from the nation he’s ostensibly working for -if he’s a merchant or not, it’s pretty obvious everyone’s waiting to see when Nilfgaard crosses the Pontar -if he was a spy, won’t he already be likely to have some idea of that event coming to pass anyways? -his clothes clearly show he picked them up in Nilfgaard, again any decent spy isn’t going to be broadcasting where he’s from or where he’s been So, in conclusion, either Manfred is a comically poor spy…or he’s really just a merchant moving and trading ahead of the war
@@xLetalis For meta evidence, it’s in-keeping with the themes of the Witcher universe to have this paranoia over spies result in the murder of an innocent stranger
Pretty sure that there was no spy. It just serves to showcase the paranoia everyone lives in, where everyone considers everyone else as a possible enemy. Nothing feels safe and no one trust anyone, as there could be spies, monsters in disguise, everything you say can be used against you as a incriminating evidence of practicing magecraft and dealing with that sort of stuff.
You made my evening so much better! I hope you are doing well in those strange times! EDIT: THAT OUTRO WAS INSANE!! I would really like an 1 min 30 remix version of some sort xD
The basket is most likely a reference to the (as far as I know mostly fictional) torture methods of tying a basket full of rats onto someone and then lighting a fire under the basket. The rats will then gnaw their way through whatever is on the other end of the basket. Like a face.
Her figure reminds me of a waterlogged corpse. There was a punishment of drowning people with animals such as snakes, rats, cats, or dogs. However, they were usually all in the same bag...
Little easter egg for polish speaking players: in quest with Beledal on the final party you can hear that woman who's talking about Beledals paintings is voiced by Krystyna Czubówna - who is well nown voice actress from many nature films
The crones are so interesting. Wish they played a bigger part in Witcher 3 and we got to know more about their backstories. Their BGM is hauntingly good as well
22:00 That's actually not a beekeeper's headgear. That's the basket she is holding in the painting, from inside which they first talked to Geralt from.
That first detail is so weird. There's at least 2 other ways to find the hut. For there to be 3 ways with one NPC and for one of those ways to be dependent on both the player giving up AND time of day. I honestly don't know if it's amazing detail or ridiculously redundant.
So thrilled to get another of your great videos! Even though I think I did nearly every quest, you keep showing me more content I never saw. Hopefully we can once again enter the Witchers world one day in a new game.... Can this game ever be topped? Probably not for a long time.
weeping angels from Doctor Who.. They can only move when you are NOT looking, so behind your back, when you blink (that was the name of the episode, Blink). And you turn into a statue if they kill you... Creepy AF.
If a witcher 4 were to happen I want a cameo of you being a hunter who knows little details while you make missed detailed about that hunter. Kind of like a inception with extra procedures
Been wanting to mention some of these things for years... Never found the right time or place so I bundled them up together :)
I'm pretty sure you never brought up the foglet quest.
Brought this to your attention a few years back now.

Their power is to send you back in time somewhere in the past by just touching you and they feed off the potential you had in your current time but will never fulfill. They're really creepy and dangerous, since you can't kill them or even look away.
They don't "turn to stone", they stop existing when you look at them - they are "quantum locked". I wonder why they only inhabit statues of angels though, if their true form is not that of the weeping angel.
@3:05 That burn was RUTHLESS
To the crabs you mentioned in the last Video. There are actually crabs in the game, even in Skellige. I saw some in front of the cave in the melusine contract
Last video? I think that video is from 3 years ago :) But yes, glad to hear you've seen them! I have since seen a few, but never as many as I saw back then!
@@xLetalis oh, sorry, I watched recently through all of your videos, I think I swapped some dates😂
2:10 wow, this game never stops to amaze me...
The crones killed and revived makes so much sense!
One burned, one hanged and one drowned.
That's why Brewess is equipped with the head gear (makes drowning slower, as the water flows slowly in it; somebody really wanted to make this personal), the chain on the neck used to be connected to a boulder or perhaps an anvil to drag her down, the rope tied around her to prevent the decomposing body to fall apart and float to the surface (or maybe just to prevent casting spells or swimming) and the body bloated as it actually started to decompose before she was revived.
As for Weavess, not only the noose, but also just one eye looks poked out, the one under the bandages - the other one looks as if flies have laid their eggs into it and the larvae already hatched. Even her voice ressembles the buzzing of the flies. Also, she can transform to a flock of ravens, who used to feast on dead bodies, even the hanged ones, so...
Whispess is the least obvious, but then again, she is the one we're told that was revived...
So, basically, the tapestry in Croockback bog shows their appearance pre-mortem! As well as the cutscene in the roots of The Oak, where the magic brings every body into the best shape their physical body ever had or will have...
Also... could there be a mission about hunting down three beautiful witches and bringing them to justice - the justice being a very cruel death (extraordinarily so even for the witcher's world), which backfires and creates them as The Crones, somehow? It would require a different protagonist than Geralt and it would need to be set in a different time, but since Ciri is the Lady of Space and Time and fans are yearning to have her as a protagonist in Witcher 4, well... Could that be possible?
(Also, what if xLetalis started to cooperate with the devs on these videos, not only keeping the fan base interested, but also hinting possible future story elements? The idea that Ciri herself unwittingly created The Crones as we know them is cool as heck. And beautiful. And consistent with the world's philosophy, that actions matter.)
I always thought that Brewess' head was in a basket, indicating she had been killed by beheading, like with guillotine or axe. There's a traditional image of the head of the executed falling into a basket to keep it from rolling away.
But there's possibly an argument that they're all insects, too. Weavess, the spider, clearly has a spider-like compound eye and is surrounded by flies, the traditional food for spiders. Brewess is surrounded by bees, and you're right the thing on her head looks like the game models for beehives; bees make honey, and mead is made from honey; while not technically brewed, I'd consider it creative license. Whispess is the maddening whisper, and has tiny little arms sticking out in front - just like a cicada, which if you've ever tried to sleep through the night when cicadas are out in force, you know they are indeed a torture to the ears. She also comes from a cave and is covered/buried in a way unlike her sisters; cicada larvae grow underground.
that's not a bad argument as well... I just think what she has is a beekeeper's costume top, if you google medieval beekeepers you'll see what i'm talking about,
this is a super interesting take
She was probably executed by placing a beehive on her head. Yep, that was a legit way of execution in rural places around Europe. Also explains her swollen appearance and pinkish skin color (due to thousands of bee stings).
I was delighted to see a details you missed video in my subscription box, and then 25 minutes, great to wind down with the day, really well done as always!!!
One detail I found which I don't think hasn't been mentioned, is to do with the Heart of the Woods quest. If you side with Harald and make a pact with the Ancient Leshen, there's a cut scene where the Lenshen appears behind you, seemingly accepting the pact. However, if you return later to those same woods and start killing wolves, you'll hear the Leshen roar and attack you with it's tree roots attack, but you won't be able to see the Leshen to kill it.
Ooo interesting😮
I did try killing the wolves after siding with the leshen, while making this video th-cam.com/video/Zd3T4yAuYoE/w-d-xo.html and I'm pretty sure what you describe didn't happen to me
@@xLetalis hmm weird, it's working for me. Not sure if it's a big then?
@@terkmadugga I actually tried it again, I made the pact with the leshen and I'm killing wolves few days later in the same forest without anything attacking me
What I love about this series is that every detail in each video is unique to only that video, so it's genuinely new details that you may have missed.
Thank you :) I suppose there is some overlap occasionally and I do reference details from previous videos but I do try to have unique details in every video
Wow! I've never seen this dialog when Geralt saves life this poor peasant (detail no 1).
I've realized something lately, after seven years of playing the Witcher 3. It's about Radovid V and his ship. At first Radovid is staying on his ship in Oxenfurt. Later in the story, Radovid is moved on his ship to the Novigrad. But. The river Pontar is blocked by shallows on the river, many bridges and fallen bridges - so it's impossible to travel from Oxenfurt to Novigrad by the river even on this little boats Geralt can use. Not to mention big battle galeon. On the other hand, the river way to the south, to nilfgardian army camp, is broad and clear. So it seems for Radovid it would be easier to travel to Nilfgardians that to Novigrad.
I guess it's just an omission by the devs, but since I realized that its make me annoyed whenever I'm around the river or so.
I'll need to check it out
Speaking of missable quests: One quest I rarely see get mentioned is the one that can only be discovered if you explore on the seas a bit east of Ard Skellig. There's a tiny island with a very noticeable tree that has a note beneath it that unlocks a quest spanning between Skellige Isles and Velen. It involves some NPC's from a foreign land (likely Zangvebar), and it's quite interesting.
It might not be that rare, but I rarely see it get listed among "missable/rare quests" on the Internet.
From a Land Far Far Away? If that's the one it's likely not Zangvebar, they're supposed to be black people
4:48 discount Lambert 😂
Ahh I love this game sooooo much. Thank for another video.
15:00 was that Blessed With a Curse I heard there for a second? Love me some old school BMTH.
love that little geralt and zoltan montage at the end lol
That Nilfgaardian spy sounds like Iorveth, immediately recognised when I first played the mission
As always your editing is flawless. Thank you for making these they're super entertaining
hey, thank you :)
3:46 the weeping angels are statues that will try to kill you if look away from them
but if u just look at them they will freeze up
so if u just blinked they will move toward you and they're fast
Cannot see anyone told this yet so:
Weeping angels are a species in doctor who that looks like statues due to their natural defense system - they will always be statues when looked upon. Waiting patiently for you to blink. For every blink the statue moves ever closer to you.
Don't Blink.
(Bonus info: they feed off your energy and not your body like a vampire would)
I am sooo happy you are still able and willing to continue to do these videos. Gonna stick the kettle on and make a wee cup of tea for this one.
in the quest with the misborn, Geralt tells the villagers to put salt in front of their doors and if you go to the grave with the baron you can see that they did it
Yeah then in the haunted house with the elemental below it he says "salt lines, pure peasant superstition"
Ok i wasn't ready at all for that 17:25 lmao
I love watching these. Thank you for your continued diligence in posting new content. This remains my favorite game of all time.
Cannot wait for the updated version which I hope is soon. I am a little over halfway finished with the books and enjoying them as well. Thanks again and Good day to you sir.
my pleasure :) thank you for watching
And now U are also a DJ!! Wow! Love you whole channel, those details videos, and the song at the end of this video :D Cheers from Peru!
Doctor Who's Weeping Angels comes as a fan favourite and one of the scariest *villans* The Doctor fought with. I really recommend watching some of episodes that involve them
Mad how you are still making videos about the Witcher 6-7 years later just shows how good it is.
1. Didn't know it was him asking for help. I just went straight to Keira's place (either when finding it myself, or after asking him specifically). I once found someone attacked by Nekkers. Never knew it was him. This is a really good find!
2. Knew about the Weeping Angels and its reference. But never knew that their face would change expression. And they disappear? Never realized this. Brilliant! And creepy.
2. Never found the Lambert cosplayer again after the quest. Don't know why.
3. I think everyone who has played Witcher 3 has the same experience with these refugees. Nice touch, though.
3. Never left the conversation and being accused of being a spy.
4. Carnal sins. Always bugging me that quest. And the pamphlets everywhere in Novigrad keep appearing. Another great find.
5. Haven't finished reading the books. This is great attention to detail.
6. Never came back to the drunken barber after my first cut with him. Haha...
7. Never really gave it a thought on how that Shaelmaar came to be digging underground after that ship sunk. Add that with the conversation in the Silver Salamander Inn and we've got some great storytelling. It gives the world in the game a life of its own. Outstanding!
8. I have nothing on this one.
Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more!
thank you
@@xLetalis Thank YOU for finding the time to read our comments and messages.
Maybe there is something more to the looking of the crones. Christian saints always carry the tool with which they were killed, for example, a saw or a cross. So it could be that here in the opposite sense (opposite, because it is not a sign of 'good martyrdom') the witches carry the torture tools of their death. But this is just an idea. Thank you for 25 minutes of pure delight xLetalis - again!!!
Number One: The announcement of The Witcher 4. Thank you, xLetalis.
Is it official or just rumors?
@@safs3098 rumors i think
@@safs3098I haven't heard anything, honestly. That was just my two cents to make a dollar on what's missing. From what I've seen, CDPR is gonna be busy with Cyberpunk 2077 for a while.
My cousin works for CDPR. He told me The Witcher 4 will be announced in late 2022. It will center around Lambert's story and yes I'm making this up.
@@Mordal1222 your cousin is a prick
I wish the Weeping Angels easter egg extended further, like if you look at them long enough, you're teleported back in time (a separate location) and Geralt would comment like "What the fuck?"
In the show, if you look at them and blink, the millisecond it takes to blink, they zap you back in time and feast on the time energy created by the life you would have lived. You literally live to death.
I’d love a video about missable quests ! Been looking on internet for a complete list of quests and requirement but couldn’t find it :-/ I’m amazed to have not noticed quite a few that you mentioned in your videos ^^;
Thanks for your witcher 3 videos. I loved the game before but even more with your content !
I saw those statues right after I killed that hag, I went into the mausoleum and looted that chest, when I got outside, there they were. I did not have to wait.
Loved the video! Keep them coming Letalis. Stay safe :D
oh interesting!
This is weird. I knew of the statues and tried trigger them before and after the quest but they only showed up some days after it.
You never cease to surprise me, xLetalis. I knew 2 of these 8, and now it just makes me more excited for my newest play through!
You can tell The Witcher 3 is absolutely amazing when after 7 years xLetalis and the community still find new details and secrets in it.
Damn, do I love that game 😍
Man I love this game! It will never get old. It is my favorite game of all time. I didnt even know about it a couple of years ago then saw it in walmart for 16 and I decided to give it a try. My first rpg and money well spent.
Those statues are for the DLC easter egg blood and wine. They are vampire statues when you face away
I’ve mentioned this in your last video but. There’s a quest you can get in Velen, Lindervale where you help this old lady (I think she’s called Dolores) get her house back, Her house is called Reardon manor. Anyway if you help her by killing the monsters she will move in. Later on in the game I went to Reardon manor to see if she was they’re and she was she had made her self a house and you can see her tidying up the place. You can even ask her if the monsters had caused much damage. I just thought that was a cool detail.
I think I recall... I've done this way back in my walkthrough I think, but I will have to revisit it, in fact I think I have plans to talk about something else involving her too!
Saw this video in my recommended, haven’t played witcher 3 in a while and I’ll definetly start another replay tonight 😂
well done
Thank you for making a follow-up and telling us more about your theory regarding the Crones, I really like your take on it! Based on your idea, I think the deaths of the three sisters allude to the most common execution methods during the witch trials - hanging, burning and drowning. While burning and hanging were way more common, the "swimming" of witches or trial by water was a common practice to decide one's innocence if charged with witchcarft and it often ended in drowning. The victim was tied up before thrown in water, so that would explain the ropes on Brewess' body. Also, bees were sometimes associated with witches as well - some believed that witches could transform into bees and commit crimes in that form - so perhaps this is what the beekeeper's headpiece refers to.
Interesting!
Love the video also don't forget my favourite Remix ❤️
how many years has it been man and theres still new things we're finding out this game is the all time greatest no doubt
Excellent, love to see you posting vids xLetalis - my Witcher hero lad
I would really appreciate a missed quest video. After trying to be a completionist I somehow still ended up missing a bunch that you mentioned!
Cool idea for the video on missable quests. Watching this video reminded me of some quests that I did in my first playthrough but missed on my second.
Just WOW, What a video!
Glad to see the fake witcher added i saw him working in the fields too,
*Most People donot Talk to the doctor in the hospital after completing the Carnal Sins quest he has additional dialogues regarding Shani*
The Keira Meitz detail is Outstanding 🙏🌝
Amazing that after so many videos of missed details you still find more. And most on this list I had no clue about.
@17:16 Yay, finally, someone shares my, rather unpopular, opinion! In one of my playthroughs I left the Wild Hunt main plot and went straight to this quest to have this hairstyle for the entire game. :D
Love you're videos and the Witcher. You can see how much hard work you put into them and matching details into the books and the shows. Would love to see a missable quests video, any reason to dive back into the game. Keep up the excellent work :)
indeed, thank you :)
With reference to the "collar" around the Brewess' neck. You are correct, that is a shackle. Shackles mostly are iron "rings", they can be either flat or round in profile and hinged to allow them to be clamped around the pertinant bodypart and then locked closed, either with a padlock as shown here, or an iron rivet (heated then hammered over) if the intention was to make the shackles more permanant.
interesting
The last part of the video is legit the funniest thing I've seen through this entire month. You never fail to impress and entertain your audience, dear sir!
glad to hear
Damn, I don't know how you keep doing this, but you keep finding things I haven't seen before and I have over 1000hrs in The Witcher games (750hrs in The Witcher 3). You're amazing xLetalis. Hope you and the family are doing well. I'm looking forward to learning more about the greatest game of all time in your next video. BTW I'd still love to have you make a video about all of your favorites in The Witcher series like Favorite character, region, quest, NPC, battle and so on.
750 hrs...legend!
thank you :)
that outro was pure art my guy! your edits are on point :]
That cut at 11:23 was so unexpected and hilarious.
You are just such a dedicated youtuber. Love your content
A video about all the small quests that can be missed would be good.
I'll keep it in mind ;]
May brother xLetalis never run out of content. Ameen.
Actually, the fisstech merchant isn't locked if you burn witch hunter's place, he just dies while you're talking with Dijkstra (you can even hear fight in the background)
I'd love to see a video about all the missable quests. I'm not even sure I know about the fisstech dealer you mentioned.
That little “spy” quest, I think the “real” answer is that there isn’t a spy, or if there is one, it’s not the merchant who:
-first mentions the possibility of spies, which would make him an incredibly poor spy to do so
-the asking about the Redanian soldiers’ missives was probably just poorly chosen small talk topic
-Florens just means he’s a merchant; any decent spy isn’t going to want to be paid in coin from the nation he’s ostensibly working for
-if he’s a merchant or not, it’s pretty obvious everyone’s waiting to see when Nilfgaard crosses the Pontar
-if he was a spy, won’t he already be likely to have some idea of that event coming to pass anyways?
-his clothes clearly show he picked them up in Nilfgaard, again any decent spy isn’t going to be broadcasting where he’s from or where he’s been
So, in conclusion, either Manfred is a comically poor spy…or he’s really just a merchant moving and trading ahead of the war
100% agree! Still he was pretty dumb talking about Nilfgaard in a positive way to a Redanian soldier
Yeah that is likely
@@xLetalis
For meta evidence, it’s in-keeping with the themes of the Witcher universe to have this paranoia over spies result in the murder of an innocent stranger
Pretty sure that there was no spy. It just serves to showcase the paranoia everyone lives in, where everyone considers everyone else as a possible enemy. Nothing feels safe and no one trust anyone, as there could be spies, monsters in disguise, everything you say can be used against you as a incriminating evidence of practicing magecraft and dealing with that sort of stuff.
You made my evening so much better!
I hope you are doing well in those strange times!
EDIT:
THAT OUTRO WAS INSANE!! I would really like an 1 min 30 remix version of some sort xD
Glad to hear :) I try
The basket is most likely a reference to the (as far as I know mostly fictional) torture methods of tying a basket full of rats onto someone and then lighting a fire under the basket. The rats will then gnaw their way through whatever is on the other end of the basket. Like a face.
Her figure reminds me of a waterlogged corpse. There was a punishment of drowning people with animals such as snakes, rats, cats, or dogs. However, they were usually all in the same bag...
Little easter egg for polish speaking players: in quest with Beledal on the final party you can hear that woman who's talking about Beledals paintings is voiced by Krystyna Czubówna - who is well nown voice actress from many nature films
Will CDPR ever Make another game like this? It seems like an impossible task.
I believe in them 👍 CP2077 was too ambitious, but I think they can find their way back to their roots.
@6:50
Did you see if anything different happens if you have already gone to the tomb and are wearing the Griffin Set?
haven't tried
The ending of the video was hilarious and unexpected 🤣
I've been binging your Mass Effect and Witcher videos. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you for putting in so much effort. Love ya :)
hey thank you :)
Just when we thought there are no vampires stronger then the Unseen Elder...
DEGENARATE flies in
hehe
The crones are so interesting. Wish they played a bigger part in Witcher 3 and we got to know more about their backstories. Their BGM is hauntingly good as well
there are still more details i missed? this game is amazing...
Dude I can’t believe this series is still going, it’s awesome and your comedic timing is stellar
Love your work. Keep it up :)
thank you I'll try
22:00 That's actually not a beekeeper's headgear. That's the basket she is holding in the painting, from inside which they first talked to Geralt from.
That first detail is so weird. There's at least 2 other ways to find the hut. For there to be 3 ways with one NPC and for one of those ways to be dependent on both the player giving up AND time of day. I honestly don't know if it's amazing detail or ridiculously redundant.
3:40 At first i understood "the same one where you fu**ed the grave hag", and now I can't get that picture out of my head.
By the time xLetails runs out of TW3 content, The Witcher 4 will already be out.
So thrilled to get another of your great videos! Even though I think I did nearly every quest, you keep showing me more content I never saw. Hopefully we can once again enter the Witchers world one day in a new game....
Can this game ever be topped? Probably not for a long time.
yeah, I don't know if I'll ever experience the same with another game
How... HOW are there possibly still details I've missed??
weeping angels from Doctor Who.. They can only move when you are NOT looking, so behind your back, when you blink (that was the name of the episode, Blink). And you turn into a statue if they kill you... Creepy AF.
How are you still finding details? It's awesome
with love :)
Where do you get those "movie like" parts ? Like at 13:26 17:35 and 21:17 Are these a series that actually exist?
Trailers
witcher fans when they miss a detail in their parents divorce: 😱😱
If a witcher 4 were to happen I want a cameo of you being a hunter who knows little details while you make missed detailed about that hunter. Kind of like a inception with extra procedures
That point-point insertion of the “shut your gob.. “ scene. Perfection.
What a blast this upload is. Can’t wait for your next video.
Thanks for making my day man, love the videos!
my pleasure :)
