The only real way to finish it.I gave into it the first time and helped him find his wife but that more of a ''this world is too beautiful to be an asshole in'' kind of situation.On my 2nd and 3rd playthrough though i did what was needed.
I personally liked the Bloody Baron a lot. It's like he knew he fucked up but if you noticed, Anna cheated on him whike he was fighting in war. I think most men would have been pissed off after something like that happening to them. The fault is on both of them. His daughter had the worst of it though because she was innocent. I like the ending where he takes Anna to the mountains. It gives you a little hope after what they all been through.
When you talk to the Sergeant after finishing the Baron questline, he just says "Nothing here for you!" and it breaks my heart. I took my time and completed the Velen main quests over the course of two months. Crow's Pearch felt like my home. Now the Baron is gone, I have no business there and there truly is nothing there for me.
I think the choices one makes in the whispering hillock side quest impacts the barons and his wifes fate...but what if we choose to ignore the whispering hillock side quest???
@@deepakdavid1876 i dont know if it is marked as a side quest. bit the three witches want you to do the quest pr else they will not tell you about ciri. so it is a part of a main quest which will never continue if you dont do it.
It is amazing how much an ambient piece of music can tell... There is a militaristic tune along with hidden sadness and the Velen rural theme. It is truly magnificent.
it broke my heart, when i was told that Baron hanged himself, since then i call this theme as "mourning for Baron"...pressed F countless times😢 numerous prasies to author for uploading this🙌
+just a random guy Yeah, I love Velen! It's amazing how they were able to capture a depressing war-torn atmosphere AND the beauty. There are times when I ride Roach slowly and take in the view; and damn it's just beautiful! Then there are the times when you walk into a starving village or across a battlefield slowly being reclaimed by nature. It astounds me how well done Velen is.
Yep, Velen was absolutely awesome. On one part you had the relatively untouched cities of Novigrad and Oxenfurt, and on the other you had the war-torn lands, small villages and the castle at Crow's Perch. Velen is absolutely bittersweet nostalgia for me, I spent a lot of time there, just admiring the music and visuals, I would climb up small rolling mountains and watch the sunset or rise, and I also remember making a slow and peaceful journey on Roach to Oxenfurt...just pure nostalgia.
0:50 Kaer Morhen theme. If you actually pay attention to the soundtrack in game you'll hear lots of soundtrack have this Kaer Morhen ''Witcher 1'' theme in it, but each time handled differently. Pretty cool
I have been looking a comment like this and finally I have found it) Absolutely agree with you. I remember the soundtracks from The Witcher 1 - they are really amazing. But the main theme is absolutely terrific thing that I have ever heard. I am really happy to hear, to listen this in The Witcher 3.
Yeah, the Kaer Morhen leitmotif is all throughout the game...in White Orchard combat, in Hearts Of Stone theme, in several combat tracks in Toussaint and some other places. In Kaer Morhen as well, of course.
Love the part that starts at 1:42 You can really feel the evil pagan magic shit that family got itself entangled in. The evil of the Crones and the Tree Spirit, the Eternal Fire, the Alcoholism, the Baby... :(
Even tho it's full of sadness there are brighter moments, like the ones that give hope for the better future if u know what I mean How do I see it? Beginning is really bright, nice but at 1:42 something bad, something that makes u feel anxious happens (kinda stagnation moment) But then again after few seconds things change Anyway, the moment you mentioned above feels like relief, ending is peaceful, really calm and (for me ofc) heartwarming - even tho the stagnation is similar to the one before, it's not that dark anymore
When you go back to the baren after finding his wife and daughter and getting both sides of their stories and then listening to his...When he explains his side of the story to you and you get all the shame and regret he carries with him while this song plays in the background. It was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen in a videogame
....How the heelll did you read my mind or something??? Jokes aside, I really hum that part unknowingly all the time, its so relaxing and calming for me.
KHII If you jump the stakes near the armoury, you can slide do to the river and walk to the signpost of the Burned ruins. It’s much faster than using Roach
Every time i hear this music it brings a lot of different emotions. The sad story of Baron's family. I hope baron becomes a changed man and with his family reunited somewhere in future becomes the true king of velen and brings such prosperity and happiness as velen had never witnessed before and all the small kids would hear the tales of adventures of geralt and baron
At first when I heared this music i thought it was actually boring. But when i finished the family matters quest with the ending that the baron hanged himself. This music has so much sadness and I love it now.
+Rinke Angevaare I got the same ending. That little animation where Geralt explains the choice of evil is really brilliant way of storytelling. CDPR are amazing folk.
That enthusiastic feeling after you deal with Tamara and her mother hoping to reconnect the family and then going back to Crow's Perch just to see that Baron has hanged himself... Movies doesn't not even come close, It was like a real life mixture of emotions. Baron's and Olgierd's story on it's own could be a part of Witcher movie series.
I guess everyone experienced this quest a bit differently. At first I didn't even like Baron's character, wanted him out of the picture as soon as possible, but then after a couple of conversations and learning the background story, I wanted to help him even though he's responsible for most of the bad things that fell upon his family. His wish for redemption just felt so real and honest.
Was looking everywhere, listed through the entire OST, for the melody at 5:10 which has been stuck in my head for ages, only to find out, that its not even an official ST..
what a masterpiece of a game... every time i listen to this i get chills. i've already played through the game twice. wish i could erase my memories just to play it again for the first time.
Did Baron gave you Swamp Lord from Holy Grail vibes? In my first playthrough i wanted to quote him. Then after finishing his storyline, i regret making jokes about him
@@KnightwhotillrecentlysaidNI Yeah, he did at first but not after progressing through Baron’s story. He’s quite a tragic character and very well-written.
@@KnightwhotillrecentlysaidNI The knights who say Ni are definitely more terrifying haha. Except for Caranthir, the Wild Hunt did not live up to its name. Even the Crones were more terrifying than the Wild Hunt.
I'll never forget riding around Crow's Perch to this wonderfully melancholic music, and reading the notice board, where one of the local peasants had described how his poor child had recently died and invited his neighbours to come along to his funeral. Powerful and absorbing stuff.
I've played several playthroughs and I've only ever spam clicked all the notices. I feel a bit ashamed, I'll definitely pay more attention on my next playthrough...maybe it should be very soon.
Absolutely amazing how this soundtrack could translate the entire atmosphere of the Baron and his family's arc. It really comunicates the tense ambience, and all the depressive stuff that happened in that place. Besides, of course, the individual beauty of the music itself. This game is a masterpiece.
Thanks for the upload...trying to complete the soundtrack bit by bit.This is one of the great ones that I didn't remember that it ain't on the soundtrack.
I have no idea what I should do in my life after this masterpiece. The deepest emptiness inside me. The real life has become gray. I'm positive that we will never see a game better than The Witcher 3. And all we can do is replaying it over and over.
I know it may be really hard to hear but this song is so metal while not being even remotely close to metal so amazing : Rrminds me of celtic frost tryptic winter requiem so great
First playthrough I hated this swamp like Keira. Second playthrough I admired the beauty that is this place. I actually live a swampy cypress area, and channeled that
this music becomes too sad considering what happened to Baron. He is a good man but couldn't do any better. Always feel pitty for him. The Baron quest line is the best in the whole game industry Ну...с чем пришёл... фраза навсегда запомнилась
Velen is depressing as fuck...but this music is hauntingly beautiful, it's like telling you a story, the story of Family Matters. The Witcher 3's story is great overall, but the stories set in Velen are the "realest", hitting Geralt and us players too close to home.
Plantman and after the baron hanged himself.. I try to avoid Crow's P since then, feels empty, sad, and anarchy, causing the guards to attack their own citizens
Am I the only one here who finds this soundtrack creepy af? it got stuck in my head since, especially 1:44 - 2:23 daamn I got real freaked out that it gave me insomnia fml
The Bloody Baron's backstory is among the most heavy in the entire game.
The only real way to finish it.I gave into it the first time and helped him find his wife but that more of a ''this world is too beautiful to be an asshole in'' kind of situation.On my 2nd and 3rd playthrough though i did what was needed.
Ad Astra that's the solution I got too. There are others?
Brooke WithTheHair i think he doesnt hung himself if u dont do the quest to help baron find her wife at swamp. i think it was just side quest ?
mila xo to get the ending where he doesn't hang himself you have to do the whispering hillock quest before meeting the crones
I personally liked the Bloody Baron a lot. It's like he knew he fucked up but if you noticed, Anna cheated on him whike he was fighting in war.

@@deepakdavid1876 It is mandatory to progress the main storyline.

I have never entered Crow's Perch for the first time on horseback. I always kill those guys in the inn...
@@holden-caulfieldMe too, me too
good ol baron days, love visiting crow perch often
Nothing in gaming history will give me the same feeling i got when i found out that White orchard wasn't the only place.
How's it possible that this isn't an official track? I mean this is a soundtrack played in an important part of the game
ikr
Its also a great piece of music
velen nature theme wasn't in the official sountrack...
and for me is the most beautiful song in the game.. so this mean I am an unofficial tw3 player..
That’s why I could never find this song god damnit😂
"Oy! Gerolt! Whot can ha do for ye?"
One of the best twists in the game imo.
Thevsam. not much just gonna sell my shit armor and dry you out of coin
@@kira_aa3883 LMAO pretty much me with every blacksmith and armorer.
It is amazing how much an ambient piece of music can tell... There is a militaristic tune along with hidden sadness and the Velen rural theme. It is truly magnificent.

numerous prasies to author for uploading this🙌
In my second playthrough he went to blue mountains with his wife because i forgotten i had to save kids
This makes me strangely homesick...
I go to Crows Perch to sell all my vendor trash and repair my gear just to listen to this music
That dwarf knows his shit.
+Ilgoth its not the dwarf though is it, it's the chick
DunkeyKonga
Hahah yeah. I didn't play that quest before that comment. Just finished the game. :)
Ilgoth nah that dwarf know nothing like what he says it's yoana and I'm a year late so fk it haha
it was hilarious when the nilfgaardian asks for the armor to be tested. that poor peasant.
Ah, Velen... my favourite part of the game.
jack dowden like real life!
Velen got that sad after war feeling and was pretty creepy the first time i played the game it is the best part for sure
+just a random guy Yeah, I love Velen! It's amazing how they were able to capture a depressing war-torn atmosphere AND the beauty.

Yeah, the Kaer Morhen leitmotif is all throughout the game...in White Orchard combat, in Hearts Of Stone theme, in several combat tracks in Toussaint and some other places. In Kaer Morhen as well, of course.
Love the part that starts at 1:42

its called a didgeridoo
@@davailama1254 is that what it is?! it's so foreboding and one of my favorite bits of music in the game.
@@cool64378 yes
@@davailama1254 i fucking knew it had a feeling it was,
My favorite music in the whole game. Full of sadness. 03:38 gets me every time
It's my favorite too,do you know the name of this song?
@@Luna_Luuh I thought it was the Bloody Baron theme or Crows Perch theme.
Even tho it's full of sadness there are brighter moments, like the ones that give hope for the better future if u know what I mean
How do I see it?
Beginning is really bright, nice but at 1:42 something bad, something that makes u feel anxious happens (kinda stagnation moment)
But then again after few seconds things change
Anyway, the moment you mentioned above feels like relief, ending is peaceful, really calm and (for me ofc) heartwarming - even tho the stagnation is similar to the one before, it's not that dark anymore
From there through 4:17 it feels like you're getting ready to do something big.
This starts playing as you enter cow's perch on horseback will be one of the best nostalgia in gaming history.
Best Game Ever

The Baron of Crows Perch... one of the greatest ever video game characters.
0:18 that melody you're going to be humming unknowingly
How do you know me ???
You know me too..!!
Sounds like Serbian folk song - "Oj ružice rumena"
....How the heelll did you read my mind or something???
Jokes aside, I really hum that part unknowingly all the time, its so relaxing and calming for me.
100% pops into my head 95% of the time when i wake up lije right now for instancr lolol
The Witcher 3 is simply amazing. A masterpiece, a open world where you actually want to find everything.
Damn, so powerful, captures the atmosphere perfectly
Those first 30 seconds hit hella hard, just love this soundtrack
Agree mate. First 30 second of this beautiful soundtrack perfectly capture the Velen depressing atmosphere.
Right, give me the coin.
Heads we go clean up the stables, Tails we grab some tit.
One toss? You daft?
I can hear this comment
@@adarsh8099 neither can I. Mostly for the fact that they said it every...single...time I went to craft some armour.

Why is all the most memorable music *not* on the soundtrack?
Blisterdude123 srs
+Blisterdude123 Agreed.
Same with all the other games and even the tv show. The soundtrack would be massive.
Same with Crypt theme from first Witcher so... ye, I agree 100%.
Crows Perch and Oxenfurt themes are both absent sadly, they are by far my favorite pieces of ambient music from this game.
The sound of running to upgrade you witcher gear
Lmao true
masterpiece of a track, it channels dozens of emotions
At first when I heared this music i thought it was actually boring. But when i finished the family matters quest with the ending that the baron hanged himself. This music has so much sadness and I love it now.

Hey man i hope you are doing ok, I'm troubling with depression in my life and this piece of music reminds me of the times i was happy in life
Whoever composed the soundtracks in this game is way better than many film composers
Coming back to crows perch without the baron there just doesn't feel right. 😭
Yeah that's why i take my time doing his quests😣

best ost in the game, thanks for uploading
this song always tears me apart

The music is stuck inside my head
How can this game be so perfect ??
One of the best soundtracks in the game along with ard skellige village
Up until now there wasnt a sign in the center of the castle
this music make your third eye do backflips
Nothing to climb to highest point in crow perch and contemplate Velen all the way to Novigrad, in the night...
there really is nothing quite like it... I love this game
Wonderful track, i love the guitar on the end!!!
Velen is depressing as fuck...but this music is hauntingly beautiful, it's like telling you a story, the story of Family Matters. The Witcher 3's story is great overall, but the stories set in Velen are the "realest", hitting Geralt and us players too close to home.
Absolutely epic.
my favorite place and music
Underrated theme
"I woke up with my breaches soaking in my own piss" - Bloody Baron.
❤ from 🇷🇺. When I'm was entering in velen, I always thought that Velen is our homeland and Raven Perch is our Kremlin :D. My favorite location
So peaceful
Masterpiece
This song make me cry specially the flute hit
My favorite song
How people gathers to survive in Velen, So they don’t get starved to death~ Bloody Baron is an good leader
Great idea using the native Australian instrument. (Didgeridoo.) It makes me happy as an Aussie myself.
Bloody Baron is one of the most incredible story quests ever in a RPG. The writers freaking nailed it and I feel so bad for the Baron.
this soundtrack tell a story of a broken leader with family issues
Another instance of the Kaer Morhen theme.
Polish games - yes, can't wait to visit the land of my Ancestors
I love the beginning
Aww man the reprise with deemphasized percussion and no strummed strings is just zen. Maudlin but incredibly zen.
Is there a didgeridoo in this track? Specifically at 2:16.
Isn't there a Slavic version of the Didgeridoo? or is it just Aboriginal.
I have no idea, sounds like a didgeridoo to me though. Amazing.
It was also used in Age of Empires II. I think W3's soundtrack draws a lot of inspiration from it, the instruments match very well.
That's a didgeridoo alright.
That's a horn ,heavily used in slavic folk songs...not a fucking dingeridoo or whatever
01:30 what an music insturament?,i love it
1:46 always confused me when I played the game I always though it was a background sound in the environment.
The song was so happy until this part. This gave me a bittersweet side-effect. It is so creepy.
Plantman and after the baron hanged himself.. I try to avoid Crow's P since then, feels empty, sad, and anarchy, causing the guards to attack their own citizens
I know I'm here for 1:30
Epic
Save the kids or save the grandmother? Choice your path.
Feed the crones xD die children, die!
Am I the only one here who finds this soundtrack creepy af? it got stuck in my head since, especially 1:44 - 2:23 daamn I got real freaked out that it gave me insomnia fml
I travel here to play Gwent with that skellige blacksmith girl named yoana or something ....
bloody baron was when the game had its best pace and was the most interesting alongside novigrad ofc.
How may I assist you?
Are the clouds even moving at all?
Yes.
Baron you poor man, im really sorry for my choices. Fucking evil spirit
you save a man who wants to commit sucide over innocent children?
Nice
Geralt! Gooowd of you to cohm boy
haha! that master armorer Yoanna......I loved her accent XD
damn I miss those days :'(
Chilly Chilly Chilly
this is so creepy and it's now my ear worm fuck my life
