12:45 lol instead of teleporting him into the water, Caranthir should’ve teleported Geralt 5 feet high off the ground, it would’ve killed Geralt instantly
Yeah, they did a bunch if stupid things before release, changed dodge animation and increase fall damage to name a few. Anyone, mods fix those so, its all good now.
more like 'Yer' thunder Probably would tell Geralt that Eredin took off his mask to show off he is a pointy ear'd wraith and got an axe buried in his head for it.

+DialogueWithTheStars ya, i agree..at least put some stage when he calling his soldiers to fight geralt while he attack geralt with magical someshit or turn into something menacing. that'll be engaging i think
+General Grievous I prefer the one on one battle. They could've given him more moves to use. Final boss fights that mostly consists of the boss summoning hordes of mobs that just overwhelm you with death by a thousand small cuts are more annoying than engaging and only add artificial difficulty. It's fine in games where you have a lot of crowd control techniques at your disposal, but Geralt only has Aard and Yrden for that. The format of the battle against Eredin was fine, they should've just made the latter stronger.
What I love about Eredin's fight is how STORY-DRIVEN I personally think it is, because if you play both the first and the second games, you'll know that Geralt has had beef with the Wild Hunt for the entirety of the games. Mainly with Witcher 2, where he talks about The Wild Hunt and what they did to him before he lost his memory through flashbacks of his recovering memory. (took Yennefer and all that) This is basically what Geralt's journey in all 3 games has led up to. Killing Eredin. Also, Eredin kills you, that'll be IT, Eredin would most likely get to Ciri and achieve his goals. So, if you know the story leading UP to this fight, I think you appreciate it alot more for the plot-driven action and tension of the consequences if you die by Eredin's blade, rather than the difficulty of the duel. Also, the fucking music, do I need to say anything about the music?
Problem is eredin is a weak character. Very basic and not rly interesting. Funny. Alot of the side quest villains in the game are much more cooler and interesting than eredin

@i hate anime You seem to not have read the books. Ciri was always considered to be powerful and possessing elder blood. And these books were made in the 80s, before this supposed "feminazi" stuff was a thing.
Eredin himself seems like a bad end-boss. I had few interactions with the dude and never really felt that END boss moment. It was a good fight, but I think it could have been better if Geralt had fought with Eredin a few times during the game.
Yeah I agree, the fight with Imlerith felt way more intense. The ending felt slightly rushed, as well. Not to a huge degree, but noticeable enough to be a bit of a letdown
***** Well the mixture of the Flying Dutchman and the freakin' Lich King would have been such a badass and epic last boss if he didn't took his mask off every 5 mins to show his shifty and eeeevul look.... Seriously... other that every gofddamn time ruining the moment, it became awkward after a while.
+Morten Pedersen Different people have different opinions on what makes a good boss. Some like the boogieman you don't see until the end, some like the imposing one that taunts you constantly and gets you angry.

Stonkish me i found him challenging also caranthir but thats cus i started directly with death march as my first time eredin was easy compared to those two
7:57 In spite of everything, Avallac'h still cared for Caranthir...his pupil, his disciple, all those years spent training him. And you can clearly see his sorrow once he realizes that him too, is going to die. God how I love this game
Kinda wished we got some kind of confrontation between the two of them would have added to both their characters, to make an obvious comparison it's kinda like Anikin and Obi-Wan in a way
Such a shame for Crach :( it was an epic battle though, I loved it, especially how strong Ciri was in the end, and how she grew stronger throughout the game in general. Also the Ending+Epilogue is coming later today!
xLetalis It was quite awkward after a while how Eredin takes it off every 5 mins to show his shifty elven face... he was such a misterious character in the first game and would have been an freakin' badass if he kept that mask on.
After starting NG+ I decided to spice the things up a little and go on the death march without changing the equipment from the end of the last playthrough. Everything seemed pretty manageable until Eredin fight. The dude is piss easy on anything except the death march. The one-shot mechanics after you've made a small mistake are just too brutal but I was able to pull through after roughly an hour of trying to beat his ass. Yen before the fight: Just don't get yourself killed. Me after getting killed 30 times: Well, shit.
Yeah dude, I am like -20 overpowered guards that were made to kill by the game= ez One stupid boss who is cake on every difficulty= don't. Even. Think. Bout. It.-
Same. I literally had barely been challenged with anything since Elden Ring but Eredin on death march with those one shots in the second half is a real pain. And if you get caught in one of those ice-bomb staggers, it’s hard to come back from. Not to say it wasn’t enjoyable in its own way. Elden Ring ruined me for other games.
Caranthir could definitely take any of them, maybe even 2, but wouldn't stand a chance against all of them. Aen Elle sorcery is way ahead of human magic and Caranthir's their best warmage even.
Thank god Caranthir took Geralt to the depth of the ocean rather than a mile up in the sky... Oh wait, for TW3 Geralt, I guess a fall from around 10 feet height would suffice... :p
I just realised that Avallac'h looking sad after Ciri mentioning she'd kill Caranthir is because Avallac'h was responsible for Caranthir's creation as "the golden child" Damn.
Is there anything more Skelligan than ramming the flagship of the dreaded Wild Hunt with your much smaller longboat while your boat is on fire and then taking the opportunity to board the Wild Hunt's ship.
That kinda makes sense, though. Just because Eredin is the king doesn't mean he's a great fighter. He's much more of a backstabber/plotter (hence him murdering the previous king so he could take power). He leaves most of the fighting at Kaer Morhen to Imlerith and Caranthir, too, since they're better at it.
13:40 not gonna f lie. That whole part of the boat and "Skellige warriors are here to show these nifgardian bastards how to do it", and then nifgardian soldier is like "who do we have to kill? Who's is the enemy now?" Is one of the coolest moments in videogames for me. Just like when at the end of a shonen, every friend character the protagonist made, had came to defeat the main villian. Just amazing
'sigh'... Eredin... WE GET IT!!! You are a freakin' elf. No need to take that mask off every 5 minutes to show your shifty elven face. It's just ruined your badassery and became really awkward......
Liberty Prime He is the freakin' king of the wild hunt! He has plenty of "magic" to solve such trivial matters. Also... isn't he supposed to be a specter in the first place?
Anyone ever notice how Avallac'h twitches his mouth sometimes? I wonder if it's a quirk he's always had or if it's because of when his curse was lifted. It was pretty obvious that he suffered some bad neurological damage.
The wild hunt itself was disappointing. At first I expected them to be some supernatural manifestation of war and frost, undead lich warriors of the white frost. But turns out they're just pissy elves.
Yet that's exactly what the people have been led to believe. That was their plan, to dress up in aesthetically menacing armor to scare mortals in the world of the Aen Seidhe. They are elves playing god, and they did a mighty fine job at it, so well to the point where they are imbedded into the folklore of common peasants.
@@finnianhunt5013 Imlerith never "beat the shit" out of Geralt who later smashed his head like a pancake. Vesemir was too busy trying to get Ciri to safety, and even for those few seconds he gave Imlerith his full attention, he knocked him on his ass and brushed him aside like nothing. Still though, these are two legendary witchers so it's expected. I do think Imlerith is still a total badass.
Caranthir in my opinion was the best fighter of the wild hunt. I love how he motioned for his men to back off, and let him fight eskel alone. I knew he would be tough to face.
I love when the big Lich King looking bad guy pulls off his helmet to reveal he's a black eyeliner goth pretty boy. Always really keeps me thinking "Yeah, that's exactly what should be under that helmet." Not.
10:41 The cinematography in this game is fucking amazing. The eye-tracing is great, they pull your attention to the moving hand, just to reveal Geralt in the same spot in the frame, with the perfect music cue as well.
I love how no one gives credit to the badass skelligee at 13:22, who basically saved Ciri at that moment. They made their ship into a fireship and just fucking rammed the wild hunt's ship too.
I, personally thought this was a great boss battle and the way Ederin had been build up as being a prick who taunts you through out the game was pretty neat
I always thought Crach went down like a real badass. I mean, the Skelligans tell stories about the Wild Hunt. From Crach's point of view, he's dealing with a limitless army of undead supersoldiers, the ones that will bring about Raag na Rogh and destroy the world as we know it. And his response upon being mortally wounded is an attempt to split their king's skull open with an axe. That takes balls of Skelligan steel.
22:09 This moment reminds me of those many times when Yen told Geralt “don’t get yourself killed” or “come back to me alive”. It appears Geralt’s death really hit her hard. And also, of course, CEMENTS my decision to let Geralt end up with her.
The amount of respect i have for skelligers is unreasonable specialy after the finale The honor , the masculinity pure badasses they are I felt like they just marched into battle for geralts and ciris sake even tho they dont have to and even if you end up doing none of the side quests they still show up compared to dijkistra where he will only give you some money after you made him KING
Tbh it was the easiest out of all 3 XD tho Eredin's fight is definitely second when it comes to difficulty, it took me like 3 trys to beat Caranthir so his is most difficult lol
A Potato eredin and ilmilrith were aids because they could teleport behind you mid roll and dodge. You could at least time ranged attacks easily with caranthir and just roll in for an attack
To me, the definite boss fight of the game was Imlerith. When I fought him I was pretty much the same level that the quest asked you to be so it was tougher and took longer but also felt way more personal. I think I was like, what, level 34 when I fought Eredin and leveled to 35 after beating him. The ending didn't do nearly enough justice to the game after having played 112 hours on my first playthrough until finishing the story. I mean I got every major plotline go the way I wanted except for the Baron, got the "best" ending for Ciri and romanced Triss among other things but I still feel depressed after finishing the game lmao. Such an experience.
I just cannot help but feel sorry for nearly any man or woman that has been beaten and tries to reach out for their weapon as they're dying. Geralt kicking his sword away is so brutal, but naturally understandable.. he loathes Eredin with a passion. But even so, I still feel sorry for Eredin as he's dying, even if he's clearly not afraid of death.
Feeling sorry for his death, and feeling pity for him as he's DYING are two different things. I didn't sit there and feel sorry for him for much longer than how long the cutscene lasted. Geralt killing him was LONG overdue, the bastard was the reason Vesemir died.
Im pissed of cause CD Projekt Red rarely let us loot powerful bosses.Even the end boss..........They zoomed a little at Eredin's sword so many times.......
They couldnt make this fight even remotely hard like they made every single boss in blood and wine? Blood and Wine could've been its own separate game, so much in it, so different than the main story.
If the conjunction of the spheres is happening isn't the gate to the vampire world open? Guess the Unseen Elder doesn't need to wait another hundred or so years..
In Main Story Mode - I prefer kaer morhan battle scene. In Heart of Stone - The Heist Scene & The Rescue from toad prince killed crime And in Blood and wine - 1. My fav the knight for hire 15 missions are best & 2. The Last Detlaff Fight & another one that professor mutation upgrade quest
So Ciri enters a tower which has a portal to the Whit Frost in order to stop it from destroying all worlds, I’m surprised no one is getting a Dark Tower feel for this. Actually come to think of it, this game has a lot of similarity with that novel, a few examples are: A very powerful menace that seeks destruction by the name of Walter O’Dim(the Man in Black)=Gaunter O’Dim The previously mentioned similarity of the Tower Even the main characters names: Garelt of Rivia=Roland of Gilead, both apart of an elite group of warriors that were originated to keep the world safe from whatever threat there is. Plus I really do hope that CDProjektRed makes a Dark Tower game one day, I’d imagine it would be epic.
+Frodo Bolbo Not really. Imlerith is more pattern bound and especially slow and easy to dodge before he goes down to 20% Afterwards you just dodge and get your hit in when his mace gets stuck. Eredin uses a few fast sword combos that don't deal a lot of damage on lower difficulties, but rack up quickly on death march.
+Frodo Bolbo u are right about that........the last to wild hunt were too easy on death march, even though Imlerith was more pattern....if it hits u just once was half of your life right there....
You should have used Igni before attacking Carathing or Eredin, this would have removed them of their ice shields, making them more vulnerable of your sword attacks.
I literally have more problems killing drowners at level 4 than killing Eredin on deathmarch lol definitely something that needs to be addressed on next gen if they remaster
Since Witcher 3 is the end of Geralt's story, I really hope that the future of the Witcher series of video games would focus on Ciri's story either as a prequel of Witcher 1 (before the scene of Geralt running away in the forest), an interquel (Ciri's side of the story during Witcher 1 and Witcher 2), or a direct sequel (the continuation of Ciri's story after Witcher 3, with Geralt appearing in a supportingg character role)
There is a lot more great storyline CDPR left out, like how Ciri saved Yennefer and Geralt, 5 years of running from the Wild Hunt, maybe when Dandelion and Geralt went fishing for some sardine and accidentally pick up a Djinn? Idk, you tell me. It's impossible to make another Witcher game about Ciri though.
I had a strange bug on my play-through of Witcher 3, in the end fight with Caranthir the AI broke and he just stood there without fighting back lol!!!! That aside the music when Geralt defrosts from Caranthir's spell is so awesome!
I enjoy playing with Eredin’s AI to watch it swing hopelessly at the air in the opposite direction- oh! and melting the snow off him with igni when he teleports. It’s satisfying.
Anyone else notice that he just leaves Eridin there, he never deals the killing blow. Is Eredin dead from his wounds or could he show back up again? (Although I guess he couldn't leave with his ship in shambles and all the navigators killed).

No idea how people get this wrong.
Avallach: “We were discussing matters of magic, nothing of interest to you!”
Vilgefortz: Are you sure about that ?
*Ciri* : badass slaying wild hunt riders with one blow
*Also Ciri* : 8:50 losing half health after jumping of a small cliff
Such a shame for Crach :( it was an epic battle though, I loved it, especially how strong Ciri was in the end, and how she grew stronger throughout the game in general. Also the Ending+Epilogue is coming later today!
Ive always wondered how does their mask make them sound like bane lik
gabriel törnquist magical voice modulation or something :)
xLetalis Hahaha
xLetalis The mask is mostly metallic and covered in ice frost, it could change voices when you speak through a mask like that.
xLetalis It was quite awkward after a while how Eredin takes it off every 5 mins to show his shifty elven face... he was such a misterious character in the first game and would have been an freakin' badass if he kept that mask on.
9:02 honestly Caranthir's dialogue there is seriously badass. Extremely rare to come across as well.
After starting NG+ I decided to spice the things up a little and go on the death march without changing the equipment from the end of the last playthrough. Everything seemed pretty manageable until Eredin fight. The dude is piss easy on anything except the death march. The one-shot mechanics after you've made a small mistake are just too brutal but I was able to pull through after roughly an hour of trying to beat his ass.
Yen before the fight: Just don't get yourself killed.
Me after getting killed 30 times: Well, shit.
Yeah dude, I am like -20 overpowered guards that were made to kill by the game= ez
One stupid boss who is cake on every difficulty= don't. Even. Think. Bout. It.-
Same
Everything was easy until Eredin fight
Took me about 3 hours to kill him
Same. I literally had barely been challenged with anything since Elden Ring but Eredin on death march with those one shots in the second half is a real pain. And if you get caught in one of those ice-bomb staggers, it’s hard to come back from. Not to say it wasn’t enjoyable in its own way. Elden Ring ruined me for other games.
Would deffinetly wanna see Caranthir vs the Bitches of the Lodge lol
Apollyon HAHAHAHAHA Cracked me up when he said that
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
Should have been Yennefer vs Caranthir imo
Caranthir could definitely take any of them, maybe even 2, but wouldn't stand a chance against all of them.
Aen Elle sorcery is way ahead of human magic and Caranthir's their best warmage even.
Thank god Caranthir took Geralt to the depth of the ocean rather than a mile up in the sky... Oh wait, for TW3 Geralt, I guess a fall from around 10 feet height would suffice... :p
When eredin killed crach...sounded gruesome
Imagine if after hearing the sound of a thud the camera turns and Crach has killed Eredin instead.
@@ameliakyle7054 lul
@@ameliakyle7054 geralt shows up after only to see crach turn around wearing eredins helmet
That's why the cameraman don't film it.
RIP Crach.
I just realised that Avallac'h looking sad after Ciri mentioning she'd kill Caranthir is because Avallac'h was responsible for Caranthir's creation as "the golden child"
Damn.
Is there anything more Skelligan than ramming the flagship of the dreaded Wild Hunt with your much smaller longboat while your boat is on fire and then taking the opportunity to board the Wild Hunt's ship.
You should've looked into the sky during the final bit, you see Earth
I feel as though both Imlerith and Caranthir were better fighters than Eredin.
That kinda makes sense, though. Just because Eredin is the king doesn't mean he's a great fighter. He's much more of a backstabber/plotter (hence him murdering the previous king so he could take power). He leaves most of the fighting at Kaer Morhen to Imlerith and Caranthir, too, since they're better at it.
@@DariusOfPersia but didn't the king want to fire eredin for being too much of a bloodthirsty bastard?
@@Thomas-fk3xl One can be bloodthirsty without being a good fighter, though.
@@DariusOfPersia But Eredin *was* a good fighter, just not as good a fighter. And his skill is sound, he can parry and barrage you with sword strikes
@@mihneaiordan1813 I never said he wasn't a good fighter. Imlerith and Caranthir were better, though.
13:40 not gonna f lie. That whole part of the boat and "Skellige warriors are here to show these nifgardian bastards how to do it", and then nifgardian soldier is like "who do we have to kill? Who's is the enemy now?" Is one of the coolest moments in videogames for me. Just like when at the end of a shonen, every friend character the protagonist made, had came to defeat the main villian.
Just amazing
Ciri's like "A Discount on Eredin's army! Everything's half off!"
'sigh'...
Eredin... WE GET IT!!! You are a freakin' elf.
No need to take that mask off every 5 minutes to show your shifty elven face. It's just ruined your badassery and became really awkward......
Naru Yeah wear a full helmet and try to breath, more so with that stupid skull design.
Liberty Prime
He is the freakin' king of the wild hunt! He has plenty of "magic" to solve such trivial matters. Also... isn't he supposed to be a specter in the first place?
Naru The Wild hunt are elves from another dimension with the power to teleport and conquer other dimensions. But they are still elves.
Liberty Prime
Still ruined all the build up hype with his habit of showing his eeeevul elf face... -.-
+Naru You really hate elves huh?
Oh nice one yen didnt had time to loot that dude...
Anyone ever notice how Avallac'h twitches his mouth sometimes? I wonder if it's a quirk he's always had or if it's because of when his curse was lifted. It was pretty obvious that he suffered some bad neurological damage.
lol how avllach talk to ciri in german he just scream "CIRIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when she try to get in to the fight
+Osmani Liridon I wanna hear that now, haha!
@Everlasting Gamer at 7:30 where he just say "ciri" "ciri!" in short
@Everlasting Gamer ua-cam.com/video/tn5hkvUfkx8/v-deo.html found it for you :) its on 12:33
In the german version I thought he was going to start singing.
I'm german myself, but damn is that a bad synchro... I know why I try to play games in their original language if possible...
The wild hunt itself was disappointing. At first I expected them to be some supernatural manifestation of war and frost, undead lich warriors of the white frost. But turns out they're just pissy elves.
Definitely agree
They are the most bad ass elves... Not the gay versions every other franchise tries to sell us off
Yet that's exactly what the people have been led to believe. That was their plan, to dress up in aesthetically menacing armor to scare mortals in the world of the Aen Seidhe. They are elves playing god, and they did a mighty fine job at it, so well to the point where they are imbedded into the folklore of common peasants.
@Irish Rover where did you learn that in TW1?
@@finnianhunt5013 Imlerith never "beat the shit" out of Geralt who later smashed his head like a pancake. Vesemir was too busy trying to get Ciri to safety, and even for those few seconds he gave Imlerith his full attention, he knocked him on his ass and brushed him aside like nothing. Still though, these are two legendary witchers so it's expected. I do think Imlerith is still a total badass.
Caranthir in my opinion was the best fighter of the wild hunt. I love how he motioned for his men to back off, and let him fight eskel alone. I knew he would be tough to face.
24:04 Yen on fire :D
Aint nothing stopping her.
Lolololol
damn she is really hot!!
The most powerful woman
She’s hot
Earth shaking, sky raining fire, portals spewing forth monsters.
Horse fear level: minimal.
I love when the big Lich King looking bad guy pulls off his helmet to reveal he's a black eyeliner goth pretty boy. Always really keeps me thinking "Yeah, that's exactly what should be under that helmet."
Not.
What?
He reveals himself before that battle, so I suppose this is the first time you see him
Bell Idrael Reminds me of Kylo Ren
Bell Idrael True
Arthas was literally the same thing underneath his helmet tho
10:41 The cinematography in this game is fucking amazing. The eye-tracing is great, they pull your attention to the moving hand, just to reveal Geralt in the same spot in the frame, with the perfect music cue as well.
I love how no one gives credit to the badass skelligee at 13:22, who basically saved Ciri at that moment.
They made their ship into a fireship and just fucking rammed the wild hunt's ship too.
Also, I love Eredin's voice without his mask, sounds epic
I, personally thought this was a great boss battle and the way Ederin had been build up as being a prick who taunts you through out the game was pretty neat
10:43 The moment when you see Geralt and you get those goosebumps ♥️🔥
I watched this video just for that scene
that music! is it in the OST soundtrack?
they should have given crach a better death
True, i wanted the option to cut Eredins guts out like he did Crach.
+CHESTER9871 i think stabbing his eye out and then stabbing him again was fitting lol. but seriously nobody mentions crach
I always thought Crach went down like a real badass. I mean, the Skelligans tell stories about the Wild Hunt. From Crach's point of view, he's dealing with a limitless army of undead supersoldiers, the ones that will bring about Raag na Rogh and destroy the world as we know it. And his response upon being mortally wounded is an attempt to split their king's skull open with an axe. That takes balls of Skelligan steel.
True except eredin killed him in like 3 seconds. I wish crach had put up more of a fight
Exactly, something, you know, more heroic and epic, maybe a couple of sword to battle ax clashes and then he dies.
22:09 This moment reminds me of those many times when Yen told Geralt “don’t get yourself killed” or “come back to me alive”. It appears Geralt’s death really hit her hard. And also, of course, CEMENTS my decision to let Geralt end up with her.
XD lmnao, that poor guard at 3:14. He just looks at Ciri for a few seconds like "w-what the fuck?
I wish eredin would have talked more with the mask on, he sounded so good with it
Crach`s death served for one good thing now his kids can come out of his shadow all though that was the worst moment in the hole quest
Eredin : "show me your spins pirouettes and feints, I want to watch"
Geralt *feints*
Eredin *loses eye*
The amount of respect i have for skelligers is unreasonable specialy after the finale
The honor , the masculinity pure badasses they are
I felt like they just marched into battle for geralts and ciris sake even tho they dont have to and even if you end up doing none of the side quests they still show up compared to dijkistra where he will only give you some money after you made him KING
Skelligers just built different
When i ''fighted'' Caranthir , he was bugged , he wasnt moving , i was just hitting him and after some hits he died , lol
Lol I had the same bug with Caranthir...
Btw., its "fought" ;)
It was a joke
+McDoofKnecht " foughted "
+Jonah Brown Alright, alright, I didnt get the Joke, lets get over it^^
Beated
The fight with Emlireth (don't know how to spell his name) was WAY better.
It was supposed to be I think.
Tbh it was the easiest out of all 3 XD tho Eredin's fight is definitely second when it comes to difficulty, it took me like 3 trys to beat Caranthir so his is most difficult lol
A Potato I disagree it took me 2 tries against caranthir on death march
A Potato eredin and ilmilrith were aids because they could teleport behind you mid roll and dodge. You could at least time ranged attacks easily with caranthir and just roll in for an attack
@@bibichee003 to me it took me one
This game stands up to anything made today.2020.
I remember trying to knock Eredin off that cliff so many times
Imagine if when the camera turned Crach killed Eredin
Or do u mean when Eredin killed Crach?
I still like how Geralt stabs out Eredin's eye with the same move that he taught Ciri, the one she killed Bonhart with.
Absolute best game ever. Poured over 100 hours into it and I just got it for Christmas this year
Eredin : Witcher. Iwas hoping you’d come
Geralt : Because
Eredin : I’ve something to tell you. But I’ll do so afterwards.......
AS YOU EXPIRE
I like the wolf growl that was there when you slashed Eredin
To me, the definite boss fight of the game was Imlerith. When I fought him I was pretty much the same level that the quest asked you to be so it was tougher and took longer but also felt way more personal. I think I was like, what, level 34 when I fought Eredin and leveled to 35 after beating him. The ending didn't do nearly enough justice to the game after having played 112 hours on my first playthrough until finishing the story. I mean I got every major plotline go the way I wanted except for the Baron, got the "best" ending for Ciri and romanced Triss among other things but I still feel depressed after finishing the game lmao. Such an experience.
112 hours? I finished it in 70 hours, even though I did all the Witcher Contracts, secondary quests and a little of the Hearts of Stone dlc quests
I just cannot help but feel sorry for nearly any man or woman that has been beaten and tries to reach out for their weapon as they're dying. Geralt kicking his sword away is so brutal, but naturally understandable.. he loathes Eredin with a passion. But even so, I still feel sorry for Eredin as he's dying, even if he's clearly not afraid of death.
+Catonzo Are you kidding? Eredin is a strong heartless elf..why the fuck would you feel bad for a guy who destroys worlds
Feeling sorry for his death, and feeling pity for him as he's DYING are two different things. I didn't sit there and feel sorry for him for much longer than how long the cutscene lasted. Geralt killing him was LONG overdue, the bastard was the reason Vesemir died.
It would be better if you could loot Eredin and get something very powerful or the best in the main game.Such a shame you can't
Im pissed of cause CD Projekt Red rarely let us loot powerful bosses.Even the end boss..........They zoomed a little at Eredin's sword so many times.......
@@makaveli4652 you get his silver sword

Gotta love the voice changer device at hunt's helmet
They couldnt make this fight even remotely hard like they made every single boss in blood and wine?
Blood and Wine could've been its own separate game, so much in it, so different than the main story.
If the conjunction of the spheres is happening isn't the gate to the vampire world open? Guess the Unseen Elder doesn't need to wait another hundred or so years..

I just did this fight in New Game + on Death March, he was able to kill me with 2-3 hits. That was tough as hell...
+McDoofKnecht wow
thats the point ;) we "the witcher" gamers love challenges such as this
In Main Story Mode - I prefer kaer morhan battle scene.
In Heart of Stone - The Heist Scene & The Rescue from toad prince killed crime
And in Blood and wine - 1. My fav the knight for hire 15 missions are best & 2. The Last Detlaff Fight & another one that professor mutation upgrade quest
Eredin has flesh and he bleeds. Well thats a mighty letdown for an immortal god
+RolandAxforde Not a god.
Just an ordinary elf then? :O
+RolandAxforde Yep, just a ripped elf. Nothing more, nothing less.
the boss fighting is epic
The wild hunt are playthings compared to o'Dimm
10:35 : I've never had such goose bumps
Caranthir : you should've gone for the head
All Wild Hunt creatures here were found extremly vulnerable to exploding bolts...
So Ciri enters a tower which has a portal to the Whit Frost in order to stop it from destroying all worlds, I’m surprised no one is getting a Dark Tower feel for this.
Actually come to think of it, this game has a lot of similarity with that novel, a few examples are:
A very powerful menace that seeks destruction by the name of Walter O’Dim(the Man in Black)=Gaunter O’Dim
The previously mentioned similarity of the Tower
Even the main characters names: Garelt of Rivia=Roland of Gilead, both apart of an elite group of warriors that were originated to keep the world safe from whatever threat there is.
Plus I really do hope that CDProjektRed makes a Dark Tower game one day, I’d imagine it would be epic.
is it weird that on deathmarch i found imlerith easy and Eredin very hard?
+Frodo Bolbo Not really. Imlerith is more pattern bound and especially slow and easy to dodge before he goes down to 20% Afterwards you just dodge and get your hit in when his mace gets stuck. Eredin uses a few fast sword combos that don't deal a lot of damage on lower difficulties, but rack up quickly on death march.
+Frodo Bolbo u are right about that........the last to wild hunt were too easy on death march, even though Imlerith was more pattern....if it hits u just once was half of your life right there....
Jo Reynoso it so easy not getting hit by imlerith, Eredin on the other hand...
+Frodo Bolbo You can parry Eredin's sword strikes though
Eredin was pissin me off on deathmarch but after four trys & a lot of snacks I got his ass lol
You should have used Igni before attacking Carathing or Eredin, this would have removed them of their ice shields, making them more vulnerable of your sword attacks.
"Shut yer trap....... and FIGHT" RIP Wild Boar of the Sea
geralt in velen: getting hated and spitted
geralt in skellige: honoured like a king
I literally have more problems killing drowners at level 4 than killing Eredin on deathmarch lol definitely something that needs to be addressed on next gen if they remaster
Since Witcher 3 is the end of Geralt's story, I really hope that the future of the Witcher series of video games would focus on Ciri's story either as a prequel of Witcher 1 (before the scene of Geralt running away in the forest), an interquel (Ciri's side of the story during Witcher 1 and Witcher 2), or a direct sequel (the continuation of Ciri's story after Witcher 3, with Geralt appearing in a supportingg character role)
+kurzor0007 Impossible.
If you read the books you'd see that it would be basically impossible to make a game on ciris story before the events of the witcher 3
@@AmeRain Why's that?
There is a lot more great storyline CDPR left out, like how Ciri saved Yennefer and Geralt, 5 years of running from the Wild Hunt, maybe when Dandelion and Geralt went fishing for some sardine and accidentally pick up a Djinn? Idk, you tell me. It's impossible to make another Witcher game about Ciri though.
its inpossble Ciri dies in this game if you get the bad ending
I love how Ciri just shoves that confused soldier out of the way. XD
I had a strange bug on my play-through of Witcher 3, in the end fight with Caranthir the AI broke and he just stood there without fighting back lol!!!!
That aside the music when Geralt defrosts from Caranthir's spell is so awesome!
Same happened to me, so i just reloaded the last checkpoint and everything was fine.
Yen : Let me summon a barrier against the frost!
Gerald : Health ... low ... need ham sandwich ...
I laughed at this way more than I should have :D
I have defeated Eredin without taking any damage. Eredin was the easiest boss of the whole game.
I enjoy playing with Eredin’s AI to watch it swing hopelessly at the air in the opposite direction- oh! and melting the snow off him with igni when he teleports. It’s satisfying.
Anyone else notice that he just leaves Eridin there, he never deals the killing blow. Is Eredin dead from his wounds or could he show back up again? (Although I guess he couldn't leave with his ship in shambles and all the navigators killed).
He cut into his throat, wouldve hit his artery since Geralt is an expert of anatomy and where to strike.
Wine cup on the table at 1:38 is the best feature of the game.
heh
