Damn....i would actually fucking LOVE to see Olgierd fighting the wild hunt at kaer morhen!

He would have messed them up!

Geralt, ever the best politician. cant you bring him to help if you play the dlc before the main game. never tried it

that would have been so unexpected that it would have been much more satisfying than running around an empty zone and using aard

Andrew Griffiths Gwent is a fun game... thats the dumbest thing ive read in this comment section

I never played gwent...I still don't know how it works XD

ENTERTAINMENT studios You're missing out buddy. It's great. And easy.. just throw yourself out there and try it. It won't hurt you. You will actually look forward to encounter other gwent players in-game! Like me. Lol.

Blood and wine even better than this

@@bigbadcatbigbcy2933 gameplay wise yes... Story wise no...

It is not DLC shit thing, it is Expansion.

bigbadcat bigbcy overall yes, but story wise Blood and Wine falls short to Hearts of Stone, the side quests in Blood and Wine are really fun and enjoyable and the world is much more immersive do that’s why it’s better over all

@Thành Ngô blood and wine can give you a bad ending for literally one single shit about not asking Syanna her past,it fucking sucks

Same!!!! I ignored it too

@@justagoose7741 Same. Hated it because of how confusing it was but now I got the hang of it.

Gwent really sucks

i stopped playing gwent when i was playing fighting and buying everything frlm everyone and tha bitch blacksmith with the dwarf shpwed me her monster deck wich i couldn't defeat as it was the beggining of the game and i wasn't experient enough to beat her i just got frustrated in how they put her at the beggining with such a retarded deck

His sword consumes "vitality" since he was immortal, that sword was op in its hands

DontKnow9000 also he’s bleeding

No

He gave the best gift he could to the man that Saved his soul. Wouldn't you do the same - a gift as worthy of such a great favour done for yourself?

Genius

Well... Geralt already accomplished all 3 wishes. If the only obstacle is to make Olgiard to stand with him he can summon any muscular guy to force him to stand

Gaunter gets out a spoon: "You better stand up or things may become very unpleasant."

Or he would probably twist that situation in way that means Olgierd would never be able to stand up again, and he has to spend an infinity being stuck on the "moon" (like the guy in the circle). being forced to choose between living an eternal life where you can never truly "live" or move and get your soul consumed by a malevolent entity that will probably condemn you to some sort of hell.

Could crush that deck with my northern realms deck easy.

Just fill your deck with non-heros and commanders horn

not false, even with the simple use of spies it would be fairly easy to beat. Still, he could have a deck made only of exclusive OP cards.

Too many heros in one hand is often a burden, particularly when you have 2 commanders horns and dandelion lol

+xMoDzProductions indeed. indeed.

+xMoDzProductions Just finished it. Best DLC I've ever played hands down. Better than most games this year.

I literally just finished it and I totally agree.

This and the shivering isles in oblivion are the two best dlc's I've ever played, and coincidentally those two game are my tied favourite games of all time

Jesus, people. Its an EXPANSION PACK. Not a DLC.

+swirekster Ah OK, so both Polish (Pan Twardowski) and German (Faust) folklore have this story. Very cool.

+TriviaBot Also this Devil has similiar way of tricking his victim. Twardowski's contract provided that his soul can be taken after fullfilling three wishes, and only in Rome. He promised himself never ever to get close to that city. However, after many years, while in the inn he was visited by the Devil. It turned out that the inn's name was... Rome.

+swirekster I was looking for this comment. I love polish lore, especially the Witcher. Probably my favorite lore of all time. I've finished reading the last wish but the second book isn't out yet. I mean it is but I prefer an actual book than reading it online and they've not yet translated the second one until December. T.T

+swirekster cmon mate! stories about the devil as a old traveler stealing peoples souls Exist in all cultures! all . that old man with powers of make your wishes exist in almost all cultures

Raynor Yes, but this story is quite obviously based on the Polish Pan Twardowski version.

@@blackvalio4060 I realized when I thought about the part where he says no blow can harm me. Mirrors are easily shattered - reflections cannot be destroyed.

The dog give you some advice back then , seek salvation in glass that can’t be broken, meaning water, as Gaunter destroys every mirror you find, but he can’t break water

My friend showed me this game and played through this ending to show some of the narrative. I had not played or even heard of this game before, so I felt quite smart when I figured the riddle right away without him even thinking of telling me the answer 😂

Also the way he looks at his injury, as if he's glad for feeling pain after so long.

Wow, I didn't even think of it that way. I just figured it was like Andrew Ryan said about him feeling pain again

also how he says whenever he pulls out that sword, blood must spill or something.

I look back at it again. I think, Olgierd makes a pact once again. As he tells, « it’s time I took fate in my own hands again, live life anew. ». He gives his blade Iris to Geralt. When Geralt takes it, Olgierd has his hand cut; coincidence or fate or the game art director. What he knows is, he made a pact, not to Geralt, not to O’dimm, but to himself. The blade is Iris, the blade is the metaphor to a rose. Just so, in the story, he gives his wife Iris, a violet rose which Geralt has to find again. The blade cuts Olgierd’s hand, just like a rose’s thorns would. The pact he made to himself, is to live life anew. The blade cuts his hand, as thorns of a rose, symbol of life and love would do. He gives what reminded him of his lost love, in return his lost love cuts him. And he feels it, he takes two freakin’ seconds looking at his hand and feeling the pain. The lost love cuts his hand, he feels the pain deep. That’s what he gives to start anew, to move onward. When Geralt apologizes, he says « you needn’t be ». He goes on his path anew. Whatever may follow ahead for him. He is broken, but he starts to go forward and heal perhaps, because he can feel again, he might love again. What he do have is hope. Otherwise he wouldn’t have made the pact. Let’s hope he might have traded his sword for a rose he does not yet grasp. I’d love to see the Netflix film crew take on this character in the witcher tv show seasons to come someday. This game expansion is definitely pure art in story telling, after you’ve witnessed it unfold. It’s leaving us wonder and interpret the story in our own way, in our own imagination.

​@@PhilTahitiFryeah. Amazing theory. But please, not Netflix. They butchered our favorite characters with their wokeness already

season 8 was a tragedy

He is mistaken. Geralt won, Gaunter O'Dimm is a sore loser.

gio bagrata O’Dimm is not wrong tho. He has been banished from the witcher’s dimension for a while and probably he’ll be back and he will be upset. I really hope to find an easter egg about him in Cyberpunk 2077

There is a famous song called The Devil went down to Georgia ....

Ok big guy

Not 99% thats too big of an exaggeration But yeah they were memorable

"99% of most"

Very true, but I still let Olgierd's soul get taken the first time. He was willing to sacrifice his brother so he could have riches, love, and immortality. In ways, his heart was stone before ever coming across O'Dimm. O'Dimm just made it reality.

when you get screen play for about 10 to 15min per character vs more than 30hrs of gameplay and screen time these things tend to happen

+Outcaster88 Good catch. So many hidden little things.

mind blows !!!! Like...that's not impossible !!! Damn those guys in CDProjeckt really take time for their games :O

no he's satan ...and satan is the demon who wanted to be God but didn't succeded at it so he plays with humans ^^

Brising Conan to be honest what is the difference between the two?

Arisiel haha well God is love and have unlimited powers when satan is just an angel (is the strongest angel but still weaker than God) Also God loves you when satan only loves himself. (2 Chronicles 30:9) :p

Yeah, Iris story is one of the sadest stories ever...dying from loneliness but still loving him and keeping the only thing she had to remember Olgierd and the good old times..

"still willing to live and make it anew" Im not sure we have seen the same story

yeah i cried at the end scene i honestly felt empty the story was so sad

Seeing his sword is named "Iris" when it's added to your inventory was really touching. Shame the uploader omitted that part.

It was indeed. It's gotta be my favorite story of the game (up there with Gerald's and Yenn's cause I am a sucker for star-crossed lovers, but still doesn't compare to this in many ways). Olgeird was so, so much more... I read a ton of comments condemning him, calling him an evil, unworthy individual... truth is, life has made real-life persons feel as empty as him if not more, even without the fantasy of being immortal or having this character's past of losing everything... so in my eyes, there is nothing there to condemn. He will always be hunted by his mistakes (and that is punishment enough) but thanks to Gerald he has a chance for true change, moving on, starting anew... So I'm right there with you. this DLC has a much better story than the base game.

+anirudhk217 Great game, just finished it. In some sense this is a narrative-based adventure game along with some sweet combat, looting and character building.

+Hannu Marijarvi agreed and some awesome characters as well.they should write movies because even the extras will be given great dialogue.

+anirudhk217 as long as Holly wood dosent get their grubby fingers on out sourcing a license on a witcher movie they'll fuck it up. actually let the game creators give input.... it might rival box office popularity like LOTR

Yeah, like how the Ratchet and Clank videogame writers also wrote the movie? should i remind you of the disaster that movie was? This game has solid writing FOR A GAME, a movie has higher standards.

the writing in this game is at a higher standard than ratchet and clank the game and i was not talking about a witcher movie, i meant the writers should work on fantasy movies or tv shows.

hamndv Exatcly man, i had such a great time this game amazes me so much

Wtf that sword is like one of the best if not the best what kind of drugs did you take?

Samed Is sad You clearly haven’t 100% the game then.

Heatwave619 yes i have, but Im saying that the level that I got this sword was probably one the best

Samed Is sad Swords you acquired or buy are scaled with your leveling. I’d beaten Heart of Stone and got the sword at lower level, but bought a new sword when I maxed level, making the sword I bought higher than the sword he gave me, even with some of its bonus effects.

So...basically for Silver Viper Sword.

What does that mean lol

@@gastonxd3315 ahh welcome young blood. Allow me to show you an artifact from the Before Time kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qc5ndb2XnKqZcqs.html

the moment he killed that man at the manor and burned it to the ground i knew i would kill him...

GBN Games But that guy was a scumbag, he killed the manor's owner for fun.

ChuckPalomo the guy that got his head chopped off was the manor owner...

GBN Games Did you even pay attention at all? Olgierd and company forced themselves into the manor cause they wanted to party there. At first the owners complied out of fear, but after a while Sir Garin, the owner, got tired and told them to leave. One of Olgierd's mercenaries killed him on the spot, thinking his boss wouldn't care, but despite his heart of stone Olgierd still had a sense of honor, and didn't approve of killing his host, so he had the man's head chopped off. Garin's daughter blamed Olgierd for her father's death and tried to kill him, but he points out that it was not him, but the man he just had executed, who actually killed her father, and that justice had been done. ...Or you could do the foolish thing, assume Olgierd is evil for no reason, fight him without knowing the full facts, and allow a murderer to walk free...

ChuckPalomo firstly, master mirror walks away independently of what you do... you don´t kill him, you just make so he doesn´t kill olgierd. secondly, he murdered many people even before his curse, so he ain´t no angel. thirdly, i don´t care what are his reasons, he cursed that prince just because of family bullshit. and finally, even though he got mad that they killed the manor owner, he has no fucking right to invade someone property and start tearing it down. and im pretty sure you are going to state that he only did that because of his curse. well, to bad. people suffered and got killed because of his curse, so he should be punished. plus it makes no freaking sense for geralt to put his soul on the line for olgierd

To me that neutrality means exactly the opposite. In this ending he takes a side while the other actually is neutral, because he doesn literally nothing. And remember that manor guy who he beheaded and all the other people he killed. Master Mirror did hurt 3 people that we know of: the lady who would have let him starve to death willingly, Olgierd who cursed the prince and was a raider way before the pact and also sacrificed his brother, and the professor. The professor is the odd one but also he was the only one who knew too much, and even then his punishment was not even that bad considering the universe they live in, and the fact that he was a researcher and not a physical worker whihch meant he could ply his trade still. And also Master Mirror twists wishes true, but he did do it with Geralt. Geralt can be considered a good man and Master Mirror was generous with him and even kind of kind. And yes he killed that one man in the tavern but we dont know about it anything. That man could have been the vliest man ever or maybe the kindest, we will never know so I wouldnt bring him in the discussion since too little is known about it (and the fact that GOD said that it was because he interrupted him does not prove anything because he could have been simply lying to frighten Geralt)

​@@notrather5514no end haplend without Geralt intervention, the sole reason the last quest happens it's cause Geralt went to an extensive path thanks to his "debt" with O dimm, it was never neutral to begin with, not doing anything at the end it's still taking a side (o dimm side) cause thats what he wants Geralt to decide...

@@diegosotomiranda4107 !? He was neutral while helping. He had a job to do and he done it. And also only because Odimm want him to be neutral and it helps him more doesnt mean he took a side. Like the Prussian-Austrian war when the french did not take sides. It helped the prussians more but they were neutral.

Whoever wrote this entire game is a freaking genius

+Mujtaba Ellari a desperate man will agree on any conditions, and a devil can hide its true face very well. yeah writing of witcher is outstanding, definitely my top RPG

+Buuvee B Agree. Best RPG I've played.

to me black and white seems crystal clear in this expansion at least gaunter o'dimm is the devil himself. cant get any more evil than him. just because he doesnt slaughter all the time doesnt make him "grey". he plays and tortures his victims. his only purpose is doing evil

+TheJoker1432 Hmm I disagree. Gaunter gives man a choice as a test. for example in blood and wine Gaunter pretends to be a beggar and begs for food by a wealthy woman. She rejects and insults him and he punishes her in return. Was he truly evil he would have just cursed her and be done with it. i'l admit he's more black than white but i would't call him comepletely evil.

Mujtaba Ellari the thing is why does he walk around as a beggar? he just does it until he gets a reaction he can punish so to speak to shift the balme to the human i mena otherwise he wouldnt do it right?

+Alucard .Tepes yeh didnt like gaunter either. Thought I could kill him by helpign olgierd.

When I first met O'Dimm back in White Orchard, I thought he was a cool guy, I saw something strange on him, but I thought he was just a spy or something, but turns out HE'S FUCKING SATAN!!!!

+Sr Mano ironically Gaunter O Dimm

+Mano haha like him? Nah I knew there was something shady about this dude the first moment I saw him. Sure he helped you find Yennefer but his whole bearing was somewhat dark.

I actually like Olgierd, one of my favorite characters in gaming with his whole tragic story.

It was actually strong sword.

@Harle of the moon Compared to aerondight or witcher school swords it's not that great.

Because I love investing myself into the stories I read or experience in games, I feel bad if I sell something rewarded to me that held sentimental value to its previous owner. This is why I was so happy when I got to mount the swords on the walls of Corvo Bianco. Besides, that saber is an AMAZING sword. If I remember correctly the charged up blow destroyed human opponents. It was, in Olgierds words, 'Right useful to me'.

I choked on my coffee

Same. What a character What a story

That would be outrageous😂 hes lying there with immediate regret; "fuck! if only i was immortal..." Or maybe he found pleasure in dying in combat, finally getting a sense of how it should have been everytime he was supposed to have perished previously. So much potential outcomes for how one would feel in that situation 😂

Thats a way to see it but O Dim is evil incarnate, it doesnt really matter how bad Olgierd was at least he isnt Satan.

I'll say him and Iris' marriage failing even though they loved one another was a direct result of him not being able to feel the love he once had for her, for which Gaunter himself is responsible for maliciously twisting his wishes and turning his heart into stone. I've even heard some theories that Gaunter himself was responsible for his family's misfortunes which led to Olgierd seeking his help in the first place, though they don't offer a concrete proof. During the conversation about the final task, in some of the dialogue choices, Olgierd openly tells Geralt that he'd welcome death and calmly tells Geralt that if he manages to complete the final task then "that'll be the end of me." Compare that to this video in which he panics and is actually afraid when death finally comes for him after he is able to feel again, which gives a rough estimate of just how much his emotions were dulled because of Gaunter. Finally, I liked seeing Olgierd and the Bloody Baron in the anniversary trailer in which they look more happy, friendly and animated, which leads me to believe that ultimately Geralt redeemed both him and Baron (who looks happy which makes me think he finally was able to heal his wife), two flawed characters who did bad things in the past, by going against ancient powerful enemies (the Tree spirit and Gaunter) to give them a second chance at life.

Well it’s less evil ending

And let odimm go after more victims don’t think so

The lady odimm cursed she didn’t deserve it was time to put a stop to odimm I’m glad geralt put a stop to it it went to far the lady did not deserve it

@@Gamer1234brendan Nah. (A) the other ending only delays O'Dimm slightly and (B) O'Dimm's victims generally deserve it. Don't make a greedy deal with the devil if you don't want consequences.

@@Seraphiel123 oddim is a trickster, made this guy a psychopath

@@Gamer1234brendan O'Dimm lives either way, sorry to spoil it for you. And it seems like he mostly messes with people who deserve it. I would hardly call them "victims".

Considering how the show has anally-raped itself because the showrunners butchered the story presented to us in the books, I sure hope not. Season 3 was TERRIBLE, and it’s unlikely there will be anymore seasons. Not with Henry Cavill, not with Liam Hemsworth, not ever.

He realised now he can die( and feel pain)

+TheGreatBonus You're pretty close. I think it's that moment, when he realizes that he can feel pain and bleed that it truly dawns on Olgierd that he's human again. I think that's why he looks at the cut for so long before waving aside Geralt's apology.

the swords name is iris, could be a metaphor for how he had hurt her.

I imagine that cut got infected and he died a few days later.

doolenmeyer I imagine that an alchemist would be able to do something about that. If not then, a doctor or a mage.

finally someone who shares my opinion

Pussy Magnet Yes,i can't get my platinum one of the best game i've ever play because that stupid gwent

gwent is easy as hell to play...

+Jack it's easy if you start early yes, but i just DON'T WANT TO. that's why i loathe them shoving it down our throats ocasionally. i play the witcher for slaying monsters and adventure, not to waste my time with damn mini-games

I see, I agree though I only played it since it's a requirement for the platinum trophy which is why I went out and collected all the cards. I never understood how to play at first then I looked online and it became easy. Just set the gwent settings as 'easy' so you can get through the game really quick if you don't enjoy playing it.

+Rafael Eisele Scholar said he was very old and that he found entries of Gaunter going back thousands of years. Conjuction is a "recent" event. Remember that you meet with him at crossroads ( Crossroad Demon).

+Arda Ergin You do realize the conjunction of the spheres is a very old event, right? Furthermore, who isn't to say that Gaunter is one of a kind

+Rafael Eisele Nope it's not that old. In the last book The Lady of the Lake it's stated that Avallach, Eredin and Auberon the king of Alders had the ability to jump another worlds but after the Conjunction of Spheres they lost that ability and the whole reason why they were looking for Ciri was to make her bear a son and open the Great Gate with his help which would allow them to travel between the worlds again since they lost that ability after the Conjunction and Auberon is considered to be the eldest of among the Alder Folk, he is only 650 years old so Conjunction happened between these years. It's a recent event compared to thousands of years old entities of Gaunter. Also only after the conjunction humans appeared in the worls of Aen Seidhe and aince Aed Gywnweith or whatever was his name was the eldest sorcerer living. He was 500 years old and was the one of the first human settlers sons who came to this world after the conjunction.

+Arda Ergin yes, but you do realize that Ciri is the product of countless generations of people bearing the Elder Blood, right? Furthermore, there are books in the Witcher 1 and 2 that claim the Conjunctionw as 1500 years ago, that's not recent by any stretch of the margin

Rafael Eisele Conjunction and the Elder Blood is not related at all.It was created by elves to prevent a prophesied disaster happening. It wasn't created as a tool to travel between the worlds, It was created to save the elves. Conjunction is not related at all. I can't blame you because games get a lot of things wrong sometimes. For example in the first game's introduction they get the date of Battle of Brenna wrong. I woudln't trust the books you find in the games.

great speech
