As much as I loved O'dimm and the story behind the Von Everecs, Detlaff's story of heartbreak and the overall map of Touissant I gotta say I still like the Wild Hunt the most. Something about their ability to show up without warning and the way they worked Avallach (however you spell it lol) into the story. Maybe because my first playthrough was so utterly perfect, I'll never forget the hunt. Damn I really want to replay tw3 now lol
I know I’m a bit late but I just started my first Witcher 3 play-through. I’ve only completed the White Orchard area so far but I love the game. I bought the DLC expansions for it since they were on sale. See y’all in a couple weeks😂
The most ironic thing about all of this is, if they had simply hidden their planned invasion and politely requested aid in transporting their people including women children elderly etc etc I have little doubt that ciri or anyone else like Geralt for that matter would have denied them refuge if they could convey the desperation of their situation , once that matter had been resolved they could worry about an invasion after securing usage of the gates😂
i liked the elven wild hunt members . you think of elfs as tiny little guys doing santas bidding . but here the wild hunts elves are TOWERS . and for them to fit and carry their armor and weapons , they have to be INCREDIBLY STRONG . theyre masters of magic and weaponry . seriously terrifying
Can we look forward to a video on the Conjunction of the Spheres? It’s definitely an interesting time period/concept, plus would be nice for people who have only watched the show. A friend who watched the show was asking me about it and I wish I could’ve linked a fudgemuppet video on it!
Hold on, I thought Aen Elle we’re able to travel freely between the realms and then it was the conjunction of the spheres that buggered everything up and closed all their portals off. That’s why they needed to breed Caranthir.
I missed a lot of what the wild hunt actually was all about in my playthrough, this was very illuminating. The thing that sticks out most to me are the similarities between the hunt and Dark Eldar of the 40k universe.
Honestly for all the monsters and horrors of the Witcher 3 world including the DLC, nothing tops the Bloody Baron quest, only quest to make me weep when I realised what he had done.
@@damianpampampam768 But they weren't from another dimension, the only "aliens" here are the humans and the monsters. The elf's were originally on the continent, some of them left and those who left is what became the Wild Wunt.
You've done an amazing job explaining the lore and set up for the wild hunt (I was very confused throughout playing the game and even reading the wiki pages front to back). That being said, now fully understanding how terrifying these guys are, it goes to show the absolute BALLS on Geralt and Ciri for being able to fight *and* defeat them
Anyone else really wish that the wild hunt never removed their helmets? They suddenly felt so much less menacing when you find out that they're just buff pretty boy elves
I was the perfect npc villager when I saw the Wild Hunt for the first time: I only knew rumors. It took quite many hours of playing until I finally got told the truth. Their deception is extremely effective.
Fudge I love your videos and how much effort you put into them. You clearly do your research and that shows in your amazing vids. Thank you for your work ❤️
FudgeMuppet, BIG THANKS for making this detailed video with great narration. I played through the WTCH3 and did not comprehend the full detailed picture of the Wild Hunt.
I have played Wtcher 3 several times and didnt understand all of the game’s politics since I havent read the books or played the first two games so this video helped soo much. Please keep making them, especially now that the Netflix series is out. We will need as much help as we can get!
Surprised you didn't mention the fact that the white frost and the ship Naglfar are both from Norse mythology. According to Norse legends, at the start of Ragnarok, a ship from Niflheim (the frozen land of those who didn't end up in Valhalla, in Norse mythology) called Naglfar that is made from human fingernails will set sail to go to war with the living.
A huge amount of Witcher lore relies on the Norse mythology and culture, both wild hunt and basically the whole Skellige. I like how Sapkowski mixed the Slavic/Celtic/Norse mythologies creating a diverse world. And players from cultures that descent from those earlier cultures will notice some small cultural things and have more knowledge about those things due to the legends they've heard as a child etc. I liked that it's heavily influenced by slavic culture and beliefs, Celtic and to a bit smaller extent Nordic myths and culture are well known in the west and most people know something about them. But the slavic mythology and culture aren't very well known there so Witcher sort of introduces people to it while making people from slavic backgrounds notice elements taken from it. A lot of quests that seem kind of random are actually near direct retellings of slavic legends, customs, beliefs etc. And those westerners who won't educate themselves further on it will miss the cultural context of things like the forefather's eve, mice tower, Gaunter O'dimm and its relationship to Pan Twardowski etc.
One thing you forgot to mention is that Eredin didn't really killed the king nor wanted the kings death. Avallach totally made that up. Somehow he manipulated the dream of the oneiromancer to blame Eredin and cause Ge'els to betray him. You can never trust a sage, Ge'els knew this, yet he still felt for it (or did he?) He even asked Geralt if he trusted Avallach when they first met.
Ge'els said you can't manipulate nor fabicate an oneiromancer dream. I don't think Avallach made anything up here. I think there is a chance Avallach was in on killing the king, how else would he know what Eredin did? I also think Avallach got jealous of the king because he was to be with Ciri and Ciri looks likes/reminds him of Lara Dorren, he is also obsessed with Ciri.
@@kj12351 as I understood it, the dream only showed Eredin giving the king, but conveniently omitted where he got the poison and, you know, basically ALL the context.
I think what hurt Eredin and the Wild Hunt was how all three games hyped them up to be these big bads and they just ended being just some big elf dudes in scary armor and their lack of involvement in the story really hurt them. O’Dimm and Dettlaff were handled much better.
Actually it's entirely possible that the wild hunt, in universe, very much did find and raid our world. When Ciri goes on her random jumps after awakening the power, she ends up on a blacktop road next to a landfill
@@Mysteri0usChannel That's entirely the wrong question to ask though. The Wild Hunt don't need to engage a nuclear civilization in open war to achieve the goals of their raids, they're only trying to pick off people on the margins of society to utilize for slave labor, and occasionally abduct academics to further research into saving them from the White Frost. People go missing all the time, and far more often than not we just move on, accept it, and forget it ever happen, unless the person that disappears is very close to us. The real question is, if there was a group of magic Vikings that could move in and out of nuclear range near instantly, without being detected by modern technology, and that only abducted one or two people at a time in erratic and distant intervals, would we as a society notice or care? Some people would, that's the root of alien abduction paranoia after all, but we're not exactly in the habit of nuking the "aliens" every time someone goes missing are we?
After reading the books and being so hyped to finally fight the big bad boss of the Wild Hunt, I can't really describe how disappointed I was when it came to actually fighting him. He was such an easy fight
Wow! . . . I’m playing Witcher 3 and just clicked on this video because I thought it might be helpful to catch up on some lore, as the game’s a bit overwhelming to newbies like me. But I was not expecting this! Beautifully written and delivered with such vertiginous visions, contagious, breathless enthusiasm and sheer, thrilling force of personality. Just, WOW! dude! How I enjoyed that unexpected delight. Thank you so much. Seriously, I haven’t been so entertained on UA-cam in years. My sincerest thanks.
I haven’t started playing the games yet. But I started the books. Glad to see some of my favorite you tubers cover this too. Thanks for being awesome FudgeMuppet.
The amount of time I went, ''ohhhhh...that's why,' or 'OHH THAT is what happened!' Thanx because I was confused and knew there was deep lore I didn't know about but this video filled in my gaps!
I was so disappointed when eredin and imlerith took their helmets off and revealed that they were literally just some elves. There are all these ancient prophesies about ragnarook and the end of the world and the wild hunt warriors themselves ride around on fire-horses and travel around on a ship made out of fingernails, then they reveal themselves to just be some random guys. Lame.
Awesome having one of the best lore players out there explain this for me because I played 2- 3 and watched series but somehow still confused until this masterpiece
Which elves? The ones that renounced all claim to the mortal world and left through the portals during the sphere conjunction are total scum, those are the ones that became the civilization which spawned the wild hunt The ones that stayed are actual good natured but suffered from humans However keep in mind that the wild hunt didn't discriminate, to them it didn't matter if you were also elven and you both once shared the land 2000 years ago nope to them you were just chattel and they would still enslave you
As a long fan of the games and the books I can only say that this is a great video! I really enjoyed listening to you telling the story with an eye for detail. Please keep going I look forward for more great videos :)
have you watched the Hexer? that's a good way to figure out what the "correct" pronunciation is for witcher universe things. surprised me to hear some of the words in that show. (ADORABLE Geralt & Ciri & Jaskier dynamic, too)
I've recently discovered the witcher game after watching the series, i absolutely love them! I rate it better than the elder scrolls games overall, though it's understandable that others prefer skyrim, morrowind, etc as in my opinion the witcher games are very very story-driven. But thats what i like
Northern Europe was born from an ice age. Southern Europe from volcanoes. It's why Germanic end of time is frost and latin end is if fire and brimstone.
In Norway they're called Åsgårdsreia, which basically translates to "The Asgard riders", meaning the myths probably originated with the valkyries from Norse mythology. The valkyries also rode on horseback across the sky, picking up fallen warriors to serve in their army, only they were seen as the goodguys and not as evil.
It's a shame in the game it's not as clear as it is in the books. The Wild Hunt is just a bunch of cocked up high elves that can travel through dimensions and destroy entire worlds. Normal elves in The Witcher universe are more of a mistake, a lesser species.
Yeah I really thought killing Imlerith would be must more then sneaking up on him while he’s just trying to relax and have a demon brothel party. Last minute planning on the story it seems like.
When I last started watching this video I had to stop it as I hadn't gone this far into the game. Now that I'm in Toussaint, watching this makes me want to reload a save right before the final battles so I can relive them. So epic!
I love how people try and say O'Dimm is worse or the Unseen Elder/other higher vampires. But i don't remember those people actively seeking to destroy the world. I think threat level needs to be put in perspective here, one on one, the DLC antagonists are more deadly but in terms of an overall threat, one that would effect many more than a person or even one kingdom, the Wild Hunt wipes the floor with any of them. The threat of the Wild Hunt and many of their actions caused many of the world changing events that occurred in the game. Unseen elder was hanging upside down waiting for another conjunction of Spheres so he could go home and O'Dimm was terrorising individual people for laughs. Both in terms of world threat level are really tiny, neither have any desire for world domination, or even domination of any sort.
To me, the Wild Hunt was initially terrifying, until I met a smiling Mirror Merchant.
That part
Had the wild hunt won, they would have lost. I dont think Gaunter likes to share his toys.
I never knew the Wild Hunt were actually elves. Interesting
Aiman Al-Marzuqi have you played the game? Lol
Yup, Gaunter O'Dim represents the ultimate threat!

Just a spoonful.....
The Wild Hunt were cool villains, but they pale in comparison to the DLC antagonists.
Deus Cognito facts, they were more memorable and badass boss fights too (caranthir was the nicest fight among the wild hunt)
Dettlaff takes it.
best games ever
As much as I loved O'dimm and the story behind the Von Everecs, Detlaff's story of heartbreak and the overall map of Touissant I gotta say I still like the Wild Hunt the most. Something about their ability to show up without warning and the way they worked Avallach (however you spell it lol) into the story. Maybe because my first playthrough was so utterly perfect, I'll never forget the hunt.
Damn I really want to replay tw3 now lol
Sorry, they do not in comparison with Syanna (true Blood and Wine villain)
I’ve heard that the Wild Hunt are also good Gwent players.
Wouldn't have to kill Eriden if he'd just hand over that unique card

@Michael Peter White It just works.

Fun fact; the same myth that inspired the wild hunt here also inspired the fairytale of santa's sleigh across the sky.
That fight scene between Eskel and Coranthir(?) is so mesmerizing. CDPR did such a good job with their fight choreography for TW3
Caranthir*
Had they asked nicely, I'm sure ciri would have helped them escape, or even defeat the white frost for them.
A big issue the wild hunt has, G O D wont like them taking his toys. He may stick a spoon through their eyes.

But i don't remember those people actively seeking to destroy the world.
I think threat level needs to be put in perspective here, one on one, the DLC antagonists are more deadly but in terms of an overall threat, one that would effect many more than a person or even one kingdom, the Wild Hunt wipes the floor with any of them.
The threat of the Wild Hunt and many of their actions caused many of the world changing events that occurred in the game.
Unseen elder was hanging upside down waiting for another conjunction of Spheres so he could go home and O'Dimm was terrorising individual people for laughs. Both in terms of world threat level are really tiny, neither have any desire for world domination, or even domination of any sort.
God, Hunt or Be Hunted is such a good fucking song
Really love these videos tbh
1:54 which song is that?
hunt or hunted
heres something i dont get, if Avalach is an en el why is he human sized but all the other en el elves are over 7 feet tall???
Great content 😀
Excellent video well researched...
2:30 something is wrong with the sword handle
