Just Me Well, I'm pretty sure CDPR didn't mean to copy because they couldn't come up with something, the vampires in BaW are quite original, but here at the references I saw ;"D 1. According to Regis' words said each vampire has a "trump card", an inborn unique gift - vampires were just like that in Twilight, each had their own powers 2. There was a vampire in Twilight (can't recall the name right now) who could call upon herds of other vampires with his thoughts, --> just like Detlaff 3. Blood addiction (see: Regis) - another Twilight reference, the reason why the Cullens didn't drink. Vampires don't need blood to stay alive, but if they do drink, they get addicted. Pretty much all that comes to mind. I think that was simply some fan service from CDPR, kind of like the Harry Potter easter egg. Other than that, BaW vampires couldn't be any different to known clichés so far in all other aspects, so no worries.
Know Never Good points, but that might actually also be the case for the books. It's a cool theme isn't it? Doesn't necessarily have to be inspired by Twilight.
When I saw the city completely engulfed by shadows and vampires hunting on it from the skies like seagulls fishing I though the battle was already lost Blood and Wine for me is a masterpiece of expansion
Dettlaff has a moth pin. A moth symbolizes faith, subtlety, adaptation, vulnerability, concealment, transformation, determination, death, afterlife and clarity. Its habit of navigating by lunar light leads it to be associated with intuition and psychic awareness, while by emitting “pheromones”, it embodies allurement, attraction, and suggestion. Its modified in design from a real moth but its wing shape looks like that of a Sphinx moth. It represents death.
I feel like this is a dance between two rivals who understand the bitterness, the regret, the ugliness, and the sinfulness of their world but choose to express their emotion and drive in order to leave....just a mark on this world. The mark of a being, whether they are accepted or not for who they are. The unfairness they find themselves thrust into this life. Detlaff was truly broken by the world and Geralt had to end him. Geralt had to look at him as just another job. But when he looks back at Regis as he kills his own friend-his blood brother-that’s when you know that Geralt was sorry. Regis still loved Detlaff after killing him and that shows when he decided to not attend the ceremony. He doesn’t have a reason to celebrate a brother’s death. That’s something any minority can relate to. They don’t want their brothers and sisters to be laid down. They just want them to live. They want them to be better. But Detlaff was too far gone....
Thank you for your comment. I mean, truly thank you. Someone needed to say it out loud. I am so sorry for this broken heart. If he only choose to escape the battle with his brother. He did not need that exact fight! As he said he needed HER death. Not the witcher's. Not anyone's else. Only her. But no, he let his anger control him and... And this battle happened. I am so sorry for him. He deserved more.
Регис Аглаэка Detlaff was not a child, he was competent of the world but he couldn’t see it the way humans did. He was more comfortable being around lesser vamps and even had some bruxae dalliances, alisted affairs, and companionships. He’s fixated around being himself and when Syanna came along-he found someone who he thought he could show everything. Syanna however couldn’t understand the level of emotion that he showed to her. She was broken too. She chose not to change and...Well, she should have stayed in Nazair. But she feared the idea of being weak to others and she sought to prove it. She used Detlaff who was forced to undergo a path he wanted to leave behind: a weapon. He’s killed too much. He simply wanted to love her but she simply wanted to feel better about herself. The hardest part was the betrayal-the perception of who he was to her was shattered; the world he wished to become part of was now closed to him because she made him feel like more of an outcast with each killing he was ordered to do. He questioned his existence. She gave him an answer. Detlaff wanted to kill her and pitied her. She was like him and he too could never integrate into humanity.
The whole time I went through the DLC ,I was hoping there was a way to make Detlaff come to his senses. I did believe what Regis said about him, but then i remembered Anakin from Star Wars, and i remembered how love for someone can turn even the best men into monsters. Top that off with Syanna being a sociopath, and i knew that Detlaff was more or less a dead man walking. While I love his desgin, personality, and his relationship with Regis, by the end of Blood and Wine, he doesn't have anything else to live for other then killing Syanna. As much as I hate Syanna, I couldn't bring myself to put Anna through the pain of losing her sister a second time. Rest in peace Detlaff. you may have been a monster, but I forgive you
Yeah Regis in the Stygga Castle went full on bloodbath mode, too bad Vilgefortz pwned him, but then again, Vilgefortz makes every games' villian look like a weakling, maybe besides G'OD.
Such memorable antagonists throughout W3, and nearly all of them have amazing themes in and out of battle. As usual, the percussion gives this one an absolutely massive, oppressive sound. Like you're dancing with Death himself...which, I suppose you kinda are. This whole OST is incredible.
There's just SOMETHING about this track that makes me really BELIEVE that Geralt is in possibly the most deadly engagement of his life. The whole track just screams 'utterly desperate odds'.
Peregrine, as far as the books are concerned, I think this is actually one of Geralt's last witcher contracts., In the base game, when him and the other witchers are talking about never taking a contract on a Higher Vampire cause they're "tough sons-a-bitches" And, considering they physical gap, and that Dettlaf can actually transform into various thing(s), it's no doubt one of Geralt's most taxing battles.
There is this awesome megamix with be best transitions ever. One of the tracks is just the percussions. Godly, just amazing. I can link it if anyone wants it
IT IS ACTUALLY, YOU CAN RUN SIDEWAYS WHEN HE DOES THE BAT ATTACK AND THEN AARD HIM WHEN HE FLIES TOWARDS YOU. NOT SO EASY BUT A LOT EASIER WITH THESE TIPS :)
+A-MANX true my I played it on death march you just move sideways when he unleashes the bats on you and then he dives in that part I shot him with my crossbow so he felled down and got staggered in that point he takes increased damage and bro anything is easy if you played dark souls. I played II and III...
YEAH I WAS LIKE HE'S THE TOUGHEST BOSS CAUSE THOSE BATS ARE HARD TO DODGE AND THEY ONE SHOT YOU ON DEATH MARCH, BUT THEN I FOUND ANOTHER WAY THAT IS SPRINTING SIDEWAYS xD
Despite some clichés of romantic vampires, this expansion really did its best by bringing a menacing vampire threat. I did in my blind first play through the ribbon path and that boss fight was amazing.
She only manipulated him into killing, But he's still the one who killed all those people. And the one who committed all the murders is the ones being called the Beast, doesn't matter who made them do it or not
Vampires in this game blows every other vampire out of the water, from sparkle twink Edward, to the beautiful Selene from underworld, and everything in between. Turning into mist, long sharp claws, insane regeneration, immunity to sunlight, having a true form and being able to change to it at will, total immortality with the exception of only another of its kind. God I love this DLC. I can see now why this game won against bloodborne. Both are masterpieces, but I’ve never had so much fun playing one game. As of right now, Dettlaff’s my favorite Vampire
It's great because in so many other incarnations of vampires in TV or games they can come off as underwhelming and too weak for the 'strong protagonist'. I love that in Witcher lore you have a variety of weaker, more primitive vampires that are intimidating but manageable; and then you have higher vampires that are near on unkillable and give someone like Geralt an immensely tough fight. I think that if Regis hadn't finished off Detlaff then Detlaff would likely have actually killed Geralt.
I wanted so badly to do things Regis way, to help him save his brother, and it's hard not to feel sorry for Dettlaf, he's doing all this just to be with one of the very few people in his millennia old existence he ever loved, but when the bloodsuckers came charging into Beauclair, I knew there was no saving Dettlaf,he'd let the darkness overcome him, he'd gone too far to ever be forgiven. All that could be done was put him out of his misery
True it was fvcked up of him releasing all those vampires in the city but I still believe he wasn't truly evil or a villain, he was pushed that far by Syanna. Also Syanna isn't at fault either i mean to some extent yeah She is but like detlaff she was pushed to far by her parents and the others at the palace.
"In times past, no amount of coin would convince a witcher to take this contract." First you see the buildup with Dettlaff's minions wreaking havoc on Beauclair, then you face him alone after Regis is taken out, barely surviving yourself. Then Dettlaff drops his mortal facade. "Times change." -- Vampire Hunter G -- now THAT's a proper friggin' boss fight!
Would be nice to have one final DLC down the line to go after Orianna. The Last Contract or something. $5 - $10. 30 minutes to 1 hour. Multiple endings that basically describe how Geralts life ends.Would be a nice nod to the fans that puts the timeline to a permanent end.
Good news: There's a mod now for that. An extra mod named A Night To Remember, which is not exactly the conclusive 'ending', but it does let you accept a contract on Orianna.
Phase 1 - Unreleased (same as in the barn) Phase 2 - Shikai! Phase 3 - (Inside Dettlaff's body/world) Bankai!! What an epic boss and equally epic theme.
Regis is my favourite vampire..idk why, he just is...I mean, sure I could've chosen Dettlaff just as easy, but maybe the reason for me choosing Regis is the fact that I have followed Regis and Geralt's journey throughout, the books and games? Probably...
@olivier5251 oh yeah! This isn't the accordion. I believe the Intrument is called a rebek. And old string instrument that's a mix between a violin and a mandolin. Played with a bow
20 Re-tries to kill this man in Broken bones mode.. & all i could hear is this beautiful song in my graveyard so i'm like "It's okay i can stay dead if this song is forever on my funeral" ~ 😂😅
Personally, when geralt, regis and detlaff found out that Syanna was the mastermind, I was on Detlaff’s side. Guy was forced to kill people he didn’t want to. Then, he killed hundreds of people who had nothing to do with it (and who were asking for Syanna to be punished) and I lost all sympathy for him.
The track that plays during the final battle at Tesham Mutna is actually called...well, Tesham Mutna. This plays when you first fight the Beast Of Beauclair, after the Tourney and death of Baron Peyrac
@@jorgeabbud9518 That's because it wasn't the same. The track you remember was Tesham Mutna, not this one. This one plays earlier, somewhere in the first few hours of the main story when you first face him.
In terms of power dettlaff is way stronger than geralt but geralt's trump card is his knowledge and skill in fighting monsters and thus he knows how dangerous higher vampires are as he knows one mistake can cost geralt his life and thus had no choice but to fight at his best in order to survive a deadly opponent like this
Why does everyone seem to think Detlaff is some kind of badass? He was a whiny brat who got his heartstrings plucked and manipulated shamefully by someone a fraction of his own age, and then at the end when he realized he'd been had, he couldn't face up to his own lack of good judgment and threw a tantrum like a spoiled child. Then Papa Unseen Elder had to spank him for making too much of a spectacle of himself. And then his best friend was forced to put him down like a sick dog, ruining his own social standing in the process. ...Love his music though.
His powers are something he was born with, not something he trained for. It's not badass at all when it's the norm for his species. That's like saying a human is a badass cause they can stomp on an ant. Detlaff being able to stomp on humans because of his nature doesn't make him an badass Higher Vampire. Like the human has to be judged on a human standard and not an ant standard, Detlaff has to be judged on a Higher Vampire standard and not a human standard. And what does being inexperienced with human emotions and behavior have to do with him being unable to own up to his own mistakes, throwing a tantrum, and causing problems for other vampires? He's a sapient being who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and regularly disguises himself on a daily basis as a member of a different species. Do not even try and tell me that he doesn't understand the concept of deceit, or that humans were capable of it. What it comes down to is this: What's her face hurt him. Emotionally. And in his pain he wanted to hurt her back. How does he do that? By attacking the thing she loves and values: Beauclaire. And if he were like, 20-60 years old, fair dues, ya know? That's like a totally normal and understandable thing when you find out your lover's been lying to you and manipulating you and made you kill your dog that you were fond of (or whatever other comparison is apt for Detlaff's 'friend' from the bootblack memory). But the guy's like 500 years old or whatever, dude should have the age and experience to know better than just lashing out like that, because it produces backlash for the other vampires, with whom he supposedly feels a deep strong kinship and loyalty (or so Regis claimed, anyway). Hell, the three Higher Vampires we see in the story all seem to understand pretty quickly that Detlaff going nuts and levelling Beauclaire wasn't going to be good for them and vampirekind in the long run, so having forethought and good sense seems to be a normal vampire trait as well. Unseen Elder's probably never even talked to a human before but Geralt got the point across to him in like 5 sentences. And just look at the results. Not even talking about the humans. Let's talk about the vampire casualties (cause supposedly that's what Detlaff cares about deeply, is other vampires). Like a dozen alps and bruxae and katakans and ekimmaras got wasted on the Night of the Long Fangs by Geralt. Regis' life is fucking ruined cause the other vampires see him as a traitor and want to kill him on sight. Orianna got outed as a vampire and got killed by Geralt later in a barn. And Unseen Elder was... mildly annoyed. All the vampires were harmed by Detlaff's actions, and if he wasn't like a petulant fucking child he really should have seen this coming. ...Love his music though.
I think you misunderstood the premise there. Unlike you I don't labor under the pretense of being able to change or influence other peoples' thoughts or behavior with silly chiding. I'm mostly curious to why people think he's so cool when the story presents him as a giant fuckup who had to be put down like a sick dog.
You 're wrong. Dettlaff is extraordinary even among his kind. Lesser vampires recognize them as alpha male leader. Bruxa of Corvo Bianco was in love with him. Regis said his enemies never lived long. From Regis's words you can gather he is special. Pay some attention to the script before writing essays trying to belittle Dettlaff. From the bestiary text you can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna managed to heal him. Is why he was blind to suspect her and lost it due to her betrayal. And Higher Vamps have to train their bodies to master their gifts. They don't get high level abilities absent working decades to master these.
*"From Regis's words you can gather he is special."* No, from Regis' words I can gather that Detlaff saved Regis' life, and on that basis Regis holds him in high esteem and THINKS he's special. Guy's got shooting stars in his eyes every time he talks about Detlaff. He's an unreliable narrator. And in the end actions speak louder than words and Regis still put Detlaff down like a sick dog because Detlaff was a fuckup. *"From the bestiary text you can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna managed to heal him."* No, from the bestiary text I can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna, a being with a fraction of his age and experience, managed to take advantage of that existential pain to twist and manipulate him toward her own ends. And when her betrayal was revealed he was too fucked in the head to deal with it in a rational way and threw a tantrum. I covered this point previously, by the way. It doesn't reflect well on this ancient being to get manipulated so easily by what should be to him, a child. *"And Higher Vamps have to train their bodies to master their gifts. They don't get high level abilities absent working decades to master these."* Never established in the game narrative. If this is from the books, it's irrelevant to the story presented in Blood and Wine.

"IF YOU ACKNOWLEDGE ANY GODS... START PRAYING NOW"
damn he should be a15 points monster card and that should be its description
Don't forget scorch ability on top of it.
It would be better if he summoned vampire cards. It goes well with his herd ability.
+Logan Stair (Logan the Krogan) And Detlaff should be a hero card too, so he won't be affected by that puny scorch card lol
l find it a bit stupid that Regis is only a 5 point card..
Regis is not about fighting I think...He is more like an intellectual.
"If you acknowledge any gods,start praying now! " most badass vampire ever.
that gave me huge chills!
More of reminding me that vampires in the Witcherverse are one of the most dangerous beings to ever walk the earth lololol
The only being stronger in the Witcher universe than Higher Vampires, the Unseen Elder being at the top of the Higher Vampires, is Gaunter O' Dimm.
Na bruh Regis
Dex4Sure the elder
“You should have brought her witcher! I AM DISAPPOINTED.”
“You murdered innocents! Don’t owe you a damn thing!”
“SILENCE!”
And if you brought Syanna but she escapes with the ribbon he says something like:
"I have been tricked once more!"
"It wasn't planned"
"SILENCE!"
More like Z3us said it
@@miguelromero1163 No. He says
"I WANTED JUST THE LASS. YOU TRICKED ME, BOTH OF YOU !"
Geralt says : "Didn't plan any of it".
"SILENCE !!!"

Regis is my favourite vampire..idk why, he just is...I mean, sure I could've chosen Dettlaff just as easy, but maybe the reason for me choosing Regis is the fact that I have followed Regis and Geralt's journey throughout, the books and games? Probably...
"I intend to live... happily ever after!"
Dettlaff was one of my favourite characters in the game, with the best boss fight theme!!! Wish they fleshed out his backstory more :(
I honestly did not want to kill him :(
I love how raw the accordeon part sounds, like a wild and wounded animal
Accordion? Where? When?
@@talantus Very start of the song. Might be wrong on the instrument though.
It's basically the opening riff that comes back every now and then
@olivier5251 oh yeah! This isn't the accordion. I believe the Intrument is called a rebek. And old string instrument that's a mix between a violin and a mandolin. Played with a bow
@@talantus Hm, hadn't heard of the instrument till now. But I can hear the stringy' ness in it.
Anyhow, amazing riff
@@olivier5251 agreed
Okay well my heart rate sky rocketed hearing this
like the last soundtrack was not epic enough..
Angelos Νikolakis you mean "On The Champ Désolés"? Because you're fucking A right.
well yeah... BUT NOT ONLY THAT THE WHOLE THING IS AMAZING THE WHOLE SCORE
Angelos Νikolakis Bruh, witcher 3 has the best soundtrack, hands down
Time to change my alarm tune
"And you, how many innocents have you cut down?"
"The conversation isn't about me!"
I still wonder where the metal vampires hid through the battle granting such an epic riff on their violins^^
I believe it's a hurdy gurdy actually, maybe multiple? or a different series of low-sounding stringed instruments
Absolutely love these extended versions, it's all just so right!
When a camera man keep telling me to smile and turn your head a little this happens
Was listening to some nice ambient music and accidentally pressed this, jumped out of bed.
I played this while my friend and I played a match of chess....it was so funny and intense XD.
Who won lol
@@Bvetrayed Who said we finished? XD we were distracted by the music
insane...masterpiece. no words....
i started randomly hearing this music in my head 1 year after playing witcher 3, had to come back to this legend. Also love that it is in cyberpunk
That face tho...gives me chills...
This Game is amazing
i Love Witcher and play most of mine free time even i am 31. Thanks guys
Me , Regis , Dettlaff , Ciri , Triss , Zoltan , Letho , Iorweth love this video.
somehow i got bloodborne vibes from this...
Amazing.
Heh, Geralt decided not to risk a battle with you, so now you spend time commenting on TH-cam and playing a lead role in Vampyr. Huh.
20 Re-tries to kill this man in Broken bones mode.. & all i could hear is this beautiful song in my graveyard so i'm like "It's okay i can stay dead if this song is forever on my funeral" ~ 😂😅
Luckily I got him in one try on Broken Bones mode! You have to roll those bat swarms during the second stage. Dodging and quen won't do shit for you
this fight in NG+ Death March kicked my ass, HARD, the fucking bat swamp took 2/3 of my health, the fuck
Aaah this is sooo damn awesome!
"Nice Tune"
1000th like
Feels good man
"Your sister was going to kill you, Duchess."
"I don't care. Prison."
we would have finished him off in the first fight itself after greenhouse incident!!!! dammit why did that cutscene come in between??!!!!!
Dettlaff to spoko Vampir .
SAMA ZŁAP GO W YRDEN!
Dettlaff is the best.
Personally, when geralt, regis and detlaff found out that Syanna was the mastermind, I was on Detlaff’s side. Guy was forced to kill people he didn’t want to.
Then, he killed hundreds of people who had nothing to do with it (and who were asking for Syanna to be punished) and I lost all sympathy for him.
Can you do an extended version of the Gwent track "The mandragora"?
Here's a 9 minutes long version of that track: th-cam.com/video/psT_XFDTjHs/w-d-xo.html
You can also right click and "Loop" it on PC. Hope this helps.
This is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you, my friend.
Волшебная постановка, отличное пение. Вот бы узнать кто поет....
А я и не думал, что здесь есть русские комменты!))))
Dettlaff >>>> Any Other Boss
Him and olgeird
Ay yo put some respect in the imortal david Beckham i liked both of their fights So IMO him and Olgierd are the Best boss fights
Wait was that song playing at the final battle?Why don't I remember it...
Because you were too busy fending off an enraged monster straight out of bloodborn. XD
You were probably too stressed dodging the bats horde
You're not alone, I kinda remembered the track, but only the percussion, I hadn't noticed it had a string section and vocals
The track that plays during the final battle at Tesham Mutna is actually called...well, Tesham Mutna.
This plays when you first fight the Beast Of Beauclair, after the Tourney and death of Baron Peyrac
@@jorgeabbud9518 That's because it wasn't the same. The track you remember was Tesham Mutna, not this one. This one plays earlier, somewhere in the first few hours of the main story when you first face him.

Fear the old blood
diary of dreams endless nights
sun is the control tower
the day is always subject to surveillance
if they want night like day 'control over everything so there is no freedom
huh! it seems like they found out it

Last account kokain solid ice
is this final boss some sort of vampire?
yes
And one of the best too.
Wąpierz!
Malzeno secret theme =
Dettlaff>>>>>Harkon
I sneak behind harkon and sneak attack him while he is talking, after that the transfrom and fly then screams dying and thats it, lol. Only one hit.
@@majinboo6377 Maybe cuz the Dragonborn is too OP. I have a better idea.
Dragonborn vs Dettlaff
How geralt can be more powerful than elite high vampires. That is so weird.
More powerful? no. Skilled and well learned on how to kill monsters? yes.
In terms of power dettlaff is way stronger than geralt but geralt's trump card is his knowledge and skill in fighting monsters and thus he knows how dangerous higher vampires are as he knows one mistake can cost geralt his life and thus had no choice but to fight at his best in order to survive a deadly opponent like this
Regis disliked
martyparty52 Syanna too.
martyparty52 And Palmerin
Nah, Regis would've liked to Honour Dettlaff's Memory.

Dettlaff > eredin
Why does everyone seem to think Detlaff is some kind of badass? He was a whiny brat who got his heartstrings plucked and manipulated shamefully by someone a fraction of his own age, and then at the end when he realized he'd been had, he couldn't face up to his own lack of good judgment and threw a tantrum like a spoiled child. Then Papa Unseen Elder had to spank him for making too much of a spectacle of himself. And then his best friend was forced to put him down like a sick dog, ruining his own social standing in the process. ...Love his music though.
His powers are something he was born with, not something he trained for. It's not badass at all when it's the norm for his species. That's like saying a human is a badass cause they can stomp on an ant. Detlaff being able to stomp on humans because of his nature doesn't make him an badass Higher Vampire. Like the human has to be judged on a human standard and not an ant standard, Detlaff has to be judged on a Higher Vampire standard and not a human standard.
And what does being inexperienced with human emotions and behavior have to do with him being unable to own up to his own mistakes, throwing a tantrum, and causing problems for other vampires? He's a sapient being who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and regularly disguises himself on a daily basis as a member of a different species. Do not even try and tell me that he doesn't understand the concept of deceit, or that humans were capable of it.
What it comes down to is this: What's her face hurt him. Emotionally. And in his pain he wanted to hurt her back. How does he do that? By attacking the thing she loves and values: Beauclaire. And if he were like, 20-60 years old, fair dues, ya know? That's like a totally normal and understandable thing when you find out your lover's been lying to you and manipulating you and made you kill your dog that you were fond of (or whatever other comparison is apt for Detlaff's 'friend' from the bootblack memory). But the guy's like 500 years old or whatever, dude should have the age and experience to know better than just lashing out like that, because it produces backlash for the other vampires, with whom he supposedly feels a deep strong kinship and loyalty (or so Regis claimed, anyway).
Hell, the three Higher Vampires we see in the story all seem to understand pretty quickly that Detlaff going nuts and levelling Beauclaire wasn't going to be good for them and vampirekind in the long run, so having forethought and good sense seems to be a normal vampire trait as well. Unseen Elder's probably never even talked to a human before but Geralt got the point across to him in like 5 sentences.
And just look at the results. Not even talking about the humans. Let's talk about the vampire casualties (cause supposedly that's what Detlaff cares about deeply, is other vampires). Like a dozen alps and bruxae and katakans and ekimmaras got wasted on the Night of the Long Fangs by Geralt. Regis' life is fucking ruined cause the other vampires see him as a traitor and want to kill him on sight. Orianna got outed as a vampire and got killed by Geralt later in a barn. And Unseen Elder was... mildly annoyed. All the vampires were harmed by Detlaff's actions, and if he wasn't like a petulant fucking child he really should have seen this coming.
...Love his music though.
if people wanna Think of him as a badass let them...your whinning about it won't change it. he is a cool char for many so let it be
I think you misunderstood the premise there. Unlike you I don't labor under the pretense of being able to change or influence other peoples' thoughts or behavior with silly chiding.
I'm mostly curious to why people think he's so cool when the story presents him as a giant fuckup who had to be put down like a sick dog.
You 're wrong. Dettlaff is extraordinary even among his kind. Lesser vampires recognize them as alpha male leader. Bruxa of Corvo Bianco was in love with him. Regis said his enemies never lived long. From Regis's words you can gather he is special. Pay some attention to the script before writing essays trying to belittle Dettlaff. From the bestiary text you can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna managed to heal him. Is why he was blind to suspect her and lost it due to her betrayal. And Higher Vamps have to train their bodies to master their gifts. They don't get high level abilities absent working decades to master these.
*"From Regis's words you can gather he is special."* No, from Regis' words I can gather that Detlaff saved Regis' life, and on that basis Regis holds him in high esteem and THINKS he's special. Guy's got shooting stars in his eyes every time he talks about Detlaff. He's an unreliable narrator. And in the end actions speak louder than words and Regis still put Detlaff down like a sick dog because Detlaff was a fuckup.
*"From the bestiary text you can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna managed to heal him."* No, from the bestiary text I can gather that he suffered from existential pain and that Syanna, a being with a fraction of his age and experience, managed to take advantage of that existential pain to twist and manipulate him toward her own ends. And when her betrayal was revealed he was too fucked in the head to deal with it in a rational way and threw a tantrum. I covered this point previously, by the way. It doesn't reflect well on this ancient being to get manipulated so easily by what should be to him, a child.
*"And Higher Vamps have to train their bodies to master their gifts. They
don't get high level abilities absent working decades to master these."* Never established in the game narrative. If this is from the books, it's irrelevant to the story presented in Blood and Wine.
