Love that real life version. Lay down and wait for her to pass. Basically saying simply lay down and rest. I've suffered heat stroke and can tell you it is not fun at all. I drank four liters of water within twenty minutes and then slept uninterrupted for over twenty hours. The worst head ache you could possibly imagine and intense pain in the neck and shoulders. It feels like you're dying.
The neck and head pain is probably from electrolyte imbalance. Consider using an oral rehydration solution. I forget the exact ratio but it's a specific amount of sugar and salt mixed into a liter of water. This is also used to rehydrate ppl with dysentery which kills millions every year.
Honestly the idea of noon wraiths is pretty horrifying. Them and their “real” counterparts. The thing you mentioned about seeing her before she sees you and lying down very still. The idea of waiting for her to pass and hoping she doesn’t find you gives me severe anxiety lol excellent video. You do a great job explaining the lore.
When I was in primary school, watching something scary will give me paranoia; and when a friend told me that some ghosts can appear a day as well, needless to say I couldn't do anyything peacefully
I loved the combat in Wither 3 so much that I always excitedly chased down whatever monsters I saw. All except for the Wraiths that is. Whenever I encountered wraiths I’d immediately start to panic, slap on specter oil, equip my crappy base level Yerden and a crap-ton of food and water. I would then proceed to flail about like a lunatic while yelling at both Geralt and the wraith for not staying in the stupid circle... God I love this game lol ;)
imo, wraiths (noon or night) are the easiest foe to encounter, but are the scariest. second scariest would be fiends and leshen (the wendigo looking creatures). now for those guys, I slap on a lot of oil and pack up lots of food xD
Noonwraiths are definitely a surprise to me, as in most fantasy, incorporeal undead are often only seen coming out at night or lurking in dark places. A farm field at high noon is the last place I would expect to meet a specter.
I'm really glad you're putting out lore for the Witcher 3. After playing thoroughly and getting all the achievements I noticed no one really delved into how deep this game really is besides Proper Bird. Glad to see it getting more recognition.
in the Philippines we have creaturels like noonwraiths, they are called "white ladies". White Ladies, indigenously known as kaperosa, are popular ghost story topics in the Philippines. White Ladies are often used to convey horror and mystery to young children for storytelling. Sightings of White Ladies are common around the country. The most prominent one is the White Lady of Balete Drive in Quezon City. It is said that it is the ghost of a long-haired woman in a white dress who, according to legend, died in a car accident while driving along Balete Drive. Most stories about her were told by taxi drivers doing the graveyard shift, such as when a taxi crosses Balete Drive, and a stunning woman is asking for a ride. The cabbie then looks behind and sees the woman's face was full of blood and bruises, causing him to abandon his taxi in terror. In other instances, it is said that when solitary people drive on that street in the early morning, they briefly see the face of a white-clad woman in the rear-view mirror before she quickly disappears. Some accidents on this road are blamed on apparitions of the White Lady. Many sources have said a reporter manufactured this legend in the 1950s as a combination of multiple stories from the area. When me and my siblings were young, our parents constantly scare us about White Ladies to scare us so that we run back home, they keep tellig us not to play during "midday" and "midnight" or the white lady might get us.
yes. I also noticed the types of wraiths similar to what we have in the archipelago. especially those who appear at certain times of the day. although i cant remember anything like the pesta.
by the way...already played Witcher 3 multiple times...there are a couple of noonwraiths and nightwraiths outside Novigrad...one near seven cat's inn and the other near the ballista near Carsten...I wonder if they have a quest or just random wraiths
This is the thing I love most about the Witcher - the story is just as much about Geralt & Co. as it is about the monsters of the world. There's so much detail and information about what you're fighting that makes the experience just amazing. It's not just another typical video game enemy, they all have extensive lore that's worked straight into the quests.
Must've played Jenny O' the Woods 25 times. I wasn't prepared & got caught in a last save => Die loop. Just the name scares Geralt & I now. Roach was off somewhere eating a peasant's roof so she thinks I'm over reacting . Stupid horse.
honestly mate your lore video's on the witcher are the best ones out there. You have actual original dialogue and custom footage, you really make it entertaining instead of just listing facts. Just wanted to let you know its appreciated, really cool!
"Disliking to being seen, they force anyone caught watching them to join them until the drop." Could that be a reference to the dancing plague of 1518?
Man growing up in a village my parents always gave me shit for playing in the fields during noon and they always made me come home before 10pm any other slavs had that when you were young?
I'm a Slav, and no. No slavic parent or any other person would believe in this nonsense. Your parents just didn't want you to get sunstroke, or a sunburn and this would be the same in any other part of the world.
Ka Kerei I grew up in a village near the countryside where people there are very superstitious all year around we do all kinds of weird holidays. I asked if anyone else grew up in a similar way.
Ashton H ive tried to research him but there isnt more to him then what gets told in the game. He is an evil demon/spirit and his name Gaunter o dim can be shortend to GOD
Did you ever consider the tragedy of believing a wrong could be corrected with yet another wrong and ponder the eventual due consequences of such a belief?
I'm currently revisiting The Witcher 3 to do a Death March playthrough (caught the 'rona so I've been stuck at home) and came across these lore videos in between sessions. They really add extra meat to the experience. Thanks!
Wow, i really should ply the witcher 3 or 2 one of these days. This video already shows me how deep the lore of this whole world is. I legitly felt sorrow for them throughout the video I even almost burst into tears. If they really existed i wouldn't be able to strike them down because of the flood of sorrow they would release upon resurrection.
the night-wraith reminds me a little of the grey lady in its origin story being the ghost of a bride although they usually haunt the place the wedding would have taken place. There's one said to haunt the Halls of Alvaston Hall as well as several cathedrals and churches throughout Britain
Would be cool if you also included the reallife mythological inspiration of the witcher creatures in your videos. These wraiths are clearly inspired by the slavic Wili. Spirits of Brides who died before the Wedding. The Ballet "Giselle" is a story about Wili.
I know this is replying to an old(ish) video but... I just loved your summary of how the witcher world creates a perfect contrast between the mundane and supernatural worlds. Often many fantasy worlds either intentionally or unintentionally completely ignore the mundane in favor of the magical even though it is the mundane that gave inspiration to it! I REALLY wish more fantasy worldbuilders would pay more attention and care to the mundane, to add bits of intrigue to the lives of the not so magically adept, peasants and commoners. (to name a few) Many worldbuilders strangely assume that there's a hard stop between magicless peasants and high wizards of bla bla bla lightning bolts. (you get the idea..) When in reality it was believed that ALL manner of spirits and supernatural beings that lived among comman folk; in fact it seems most sprites, brownies and fey prefeed the rural fields and quite hamlets to the grand palaces or cold stone castles of lords and the kings. Imagen that a mere peasant farmer had more access to the magically inklind than his Lord! (though alot of it was unwanted attention..) Causally conversing with a local spirit or being viciously tormented by a malignant specter, these are things that I feel that more fantasy settings SHOULD take advantage of. This can make for some more engaging experiences; Not to mention that everyone loves a good ghost tale and some good ole'fey shenanigans. (when not on the receiving end of such pranks..) But anyway...I've always loved seeing pleasant and otherwise "no names" getting tied up in intrigue especially of the supernatural variety. Brings life to the world outside of the elite of society, a world that is more than just kings and important such and suchs. (which is usually the case in many stories but not all) And I think it's at it's best when said peasants were the cause (directly or indirectly) of the hauntings and angry nature spirits.
What would happen if one successfully preformed a wedding ceremony for a noon wraith or a night wraith? I am not really interested in why or how just the possible outcomes.
If your working at a field, take a break before noon. Not because is mid-day; but because we don't want to pick up your limps after the noonwraith is done with you.
*falls to knees* PLEASE, TELL ME THE TITLE OF THAT SOUNDTRACK IN THE BACKGROUND (at the beginning of the video), I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ON TH-cam!!! I BEG THY!!...
I first played The Witcher 3 probably five years ago, and I was terrible at it! I don't know, I guess it just didn't click for me. I loved the world, characters, and lore of it, I just could not, for the life of me, successfully play it. Yesterday, the gold version (DLC and everything) popped up in the Playstation store for $10, so I said "what the hell" and got it. For some reason, it's way easier than I remember. The Devil by the Well was impossible for me to beat before, and I had to get a friend to beat the griffin for me. I beat the wraith in about a minute and the griffin in two this time around, before the need for sleep ultimately beat me. I'm having way more fun, now, and I really look forward to exploring all this game has to offer!

The Moondust bomb is far better in my opinion, you can still materialise them without wasting the energy you need for the Quen shield.
I hate wraiths. First time I stumbled across one in White Orchid I threw my controller
Wraiths are fine imo. (Playing on deathmarch mode, 1st playthrough) but those goddam water-hags and rotfiends....

I like fighting the wraiths. The noon/moon wraiths, that is. The common green ones can be a bit annoying. Especially in groups.
I prefer night raves to noon raves
Not much of a rave if it happens at noon eh?

These things never fail to creep me out so badly
Took me a long time to make the link between the Noonwraiths and the "Polednice" monster I read mythology stories about. So cool

Not really, I mean I thought I saw I giant chicken once in Toussiant, but as I got closer it turned out to be just a Noon Wraith instead.

I’m loving these Witcher videos! It’s my favourite game and book series of all time!! And you do such a good job on these!
Do a video on botchlings!
Can you do a video on what is known about the different religions and cults in The Witcher? What are those tiny houses with horseshoes?
Finally!!! I've been wanting someone to make videos solely about the creatures and the mythos behind them for so longggg!! You're a bad ass dude.
Do gaunter o dim next
Ashton H ive tried to research him but there isnt more to him then what gets told in the game.
He is an evil demon/spirit and his name Gaunter o dim can be shortend to GOD
There is a lot of information about him actually but I think Drew will cover more generic stuff first. :)
Didn't even think about the acronym for his name, that's pretty spooky
LOL Drew's dramatic diction and narrating is hileraious and immersive. Damn Drew
Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Wraiths? I thought not... It's not a story the Witchers would tell...
Did you ever consider the tragedy of believing a wrong could be corrected with yet another wrong and ponder the eventual due consequences of such a belief?
Just started playing witcher 3, great game, and this vid has only made it better for me
Thanks for the video. Pls make more Witcher video's.
I'm currently revisiting The Witcher 3 to do a Death March playthrough (caught the 'rona so I've been stuck at home) and came across these lore videos in between sessions. They really add extra meat to the experience. Thanks!
You should do one about those witches who live in the swamp
Please make video on Conjuction of the Spheres! Great video
I saw two noonwraiths roaming a field twice. Didn't even bother to find out why. Damn :(
Wow, i really should ply the witcher 3 or 2 one of these days. This video already shows me how deep the lore of this whole world is. I legitly felt sorrow for them throughout the video I even almost burst into tears. If they really existed i wouldn't be able to strike them down because of the flood of sorrow they would release upon resurrection.
the creatures of witcher 3 were so terrifying. love it.
With captions it’s says noon raves and night raves. Been to a few night raves but never a noon rave :)
the night-wraith reminds me a little of the grey lady in its origin story being the ghost of a bride although they usually haunt the place the wedding would have taken place. There's one said to haunt the Halls of Alvaston Hall as well as several cathedrals and churches throughout Britain
Południca & Północnica!
I'm loving these Witcher more videos. Maybe at sometime you could also, possibly, do Dragon Age lore as well
Gavlin The Enchanimator U right
I couldn't really get into the Dragon age games, already the last one.
Should do a video about the Crones!
these creatures are testiment to the ancient words of wisdom
Man knoweth know wrath like that of a woman scourned
True lol
I always wondered why normal Wraiths Carry lanterns. Poes in Zelda do the same thing, I wonder where it comes from
Is the original person supposedly directly in control of the wraith? Or is the wraith a separate entity with the person imprisoned inside?
Love your videos man. You do such a great job narrating and educating us on Witcher lore. Keep it up! 👍
I am glade you made these as it helps fight them in the augmentation of reality
An excellent physical description, sir.
yes do more of these, witcher has so much potential
Thank you for positng a great video! these wraiths always creeped me out. Especially jenny of the woods.
Really hope you guys keep making these. I love how they're put together.
Love these vids, keep them coming!!
For moments like this, to free someone from pain and eternal suffering. Witchers have merit and a duty to uphold. I like it.
After spending some time in Gerald's world, you realize our world isn't as bad. Bad, but not that bad.
Klaras full story was such an amazing start to this game
returned to this video almost a year after. still great )
Since you started these I have bought the witcher trilogy, thanks mate.
Keep the Witcher 3 vids coming!!!
What an excellent video! Thanks for uploading.
Please make a the witcher 3 lore
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these rooted in slavic mythology? I seem to remember something about it being in russian folklore.
That's very likely the crones are based on a Slavic legend so it seems likely that a lot of other creatures would be
Its literally in the vid after minute 9 or so
Do a video on the Wild Hunt itself, and specially on Gauntem o'Dimm!
dude. plz make more of this. it's awesome content. congratulations. u have a very good narrative. i'd like to play D&D with a master like u. lol
You make great videos!

These wraiths are clearly inspired by the slavic Wili. Spirits of Brides who died before the Wedding. The Ballet "Giselle" is a story about Wili.

I think banishing them is the ultimate kindness

Keep this stuff coming. It's fracking awsome.
Jenny of oldstones is a wraith. Change my mind.
Do werewolves and bruxa/vampires in the witcher lore
Glad to see my favorite game on your channel
What would happen if one successfully preformed a wedding ceremony for a noon wraith or a night wraith? I am not really interested in why or how just the possible outcomes.
How do you make those 3D in game pictures? Do you use a mod to stop time in game and then walk around?
These videos are amazing. Can you make a video on the crones next? Thanks
Moon dust bombs really make these fights so easy
There is a noonwraith in Frischlow, not part of any quest, and I've been searching for the story behind that one, but there seems to be none.
If anyone has played the Witcher try Witcher 3: Enhanced Edition. I am replaying with it and so far I love it.
If your working at a field, take a break before noon. Not because is mid-day; but because we don't want to pick up your limps after the noonwraith is done with you.
Great video friend. Keep up the great work.
Would be cool to have these as a audio book series
amazing video thank you so much for creating it
Love your videos. Informative and intriguing
Jenny O the woods contract just freaks me out even if I have played the game like 5 times now...😅

very curious what the next bit of lore is going to be :) really enjoy these thus far :)
