The reason Tinder is less popular in Velen
XD
Best comment XD
What about Brazzers ?
@@OniMasta people are scared to match a god and instead meet an ugly troll underground...neither are popular choices anymore
"Damn you're ugly" Velen version of "swipe left"
This quest alone makes this game worth buying.
Isaac31415 It really was a chilling quest. Really loved how off putting the Crones were, and not just because they're ugly as sin. That voice reverberation really added a lot of unsettling elements to it, in addition to this OST.
Vinegar Ra Exactly, bro. It really gave me goosebumps. Not only the crones but the tree's spirit as well. The only thing i can imagine that would make this quest better is if you see the consequences of your decision after a long time. If there is something like this in th e game, i will be really happy Ps: havent beated it yet. So big and so many stuff to do...
Isaac31415 The entire questline was very dark fairy tale, which fits the Witcher perfectly. Hell the Last Wish book is just a collection of witcherized fairy-tales; including Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves(Gnomes in the short story.)
Magni56 No, you misunderstood me. What i meant is: let's sa y you free the spirit. then, after soem years, it would become a strong enemy against crones. Or, if you killed it, the crones would rule over all velen, without competitors. Something like that.
Isaac31415 there's a "beauty and the beast" like quest in the game as well. Of course, pretty dark :p; And i love these stuff. Wanna read the books afterwards.
I’m Slavic and when I was a kid growing up (5-7) my grandmother (86 at the time, all wrinkly, could barely move) would tell me stories about witches in the woods, how’d they would kidnap small children to cook them in the big pot. I was so scared of them, mere words can’t express my trauma I got from those stories. My mother would always tell me I was such a good kid, never complain or anything. Truth is, I was scared out of my mind. I played this game when I was around 25 years old and when I reached the swamp something triggered in me… as soon as I heard this song playing I knew I had to burn the whole swamp to the ground.
Reading your comment with the music playing in the background just gave me shivers.
So creepy.
I love that you still have that connection to the folklore
Dolazi babaroga 🥶
Yessss! I want to talk to baba yaga, i want to dance with the rusalkas! Bring it on. This fear is too familiar to any one's who have ever even been told of any Slavic myths. I don't know. Its almost as if the myth runs deep. I know exactly what fear of witches you're talking about.
The Crones and the Bloody Baron were easily one of the best parts of the entire game
and off course Olgierd von Everec story.
You forgot Johnny.
Naveed Akhtar you know that he is part of the quest line? For the crones?
The Crones, the Bloody Baron and all of Velen are the best part of the game ;)
Game should be called Ladies of the Wood, not Wild Hunt.
The Kardashians of crookback bog
Which rule was it again? "if you can imagine it, there's a porn of it!"
34 I believe.
Xd
Keeping up with the Crookback Bog
I'd still go bang Crones over Kardashians. At least Crones are natural.
The Crones have to be the best villains I have ever encountered in a game. When you first arrive at the orphanage you just feel that whatever is hiding there is pure evil. Together with this soundtrack it just creates this feeling of dread. I think it was the first time I actually wanted to leave a place in a game and never come back.. And that was before I even had seen them. And I'm pretty sure that during the cutscene Geralt gave me a look that was like "Please get me out of here, I don't want to be here anymore"..
Gaunter O'Dimm or the Crones. Which is the lesser evil?
Yup the same feeling I had.
Y0 DonutZ even after the fact after me n the baron n his henchman raid the place. Everytime i gotta use the sign post there. Outloud i say “why the fuck do i gotta keep coming back to this place” cuz it creeps me out so much
@Brendan Fraser It was bone-chilling, I have never experienced such dread in a video game. Meeting the children and Gran is creepy, but the music... the Slavic stories I was raised on suddenly felt real, Baba Jaga was real, and I wanted to run. When you crush the cookie and bugs come out... it made my blood run cold.
More like you were saying to Geralt that he should get you out of here asap, lmao. But I agree to some degree, The Crones are some nasty villains. I hate the fact that I couldn't kill the last sister since she stole uncle Vesemir's necklace. Still one of the coolest and darkest quests in this game, Witcher 3 is a masterpiece. Probably the best RPG (beside Vampire: The Bloodline Masquerade) I've played... Gun to the head, Witcher 3 is hard to top. What a game. Truly brilliant. Wait until you meet Gaunter, though. Dude doesn't look like a super-villain at all, but he's definitely even scarier once you reveal his true nature. I barely survived his "game" when I was saving Olgierd. I was about ten seconds away from getting my soul ripped out. Not gonna fuck with him anymore since you cannot kill Gaunter AT ALL.
It was their creepy Welsh accents that really frightened me
MrJohnnyBQuick Ehh, living in Wales, you get used to it.
+MrJohnnyBQuick Wales.. XD
+RaZDaZ Lol XD
Reminds me of my friends nan. Make her mad and she looks at you like she's thinking of ways to cook you
MrJohnnyBQuick "AHHH, WELSH PEOPLE"
Gaunter O'Dimm(GOD) and the Crones were much more scary and interesting Antagonists than the Wild Hunt.
yeah really, wild hunt was weak... not even scary... gaunter and crones were more interesting
Even freaking trolls were more interesting than the Wild Hunt. The WIld Hunt bosses were three dudes in armor, like in Shadow of Mordor. Totally immemorable.
Jo Watts detlaff wasnt really interesting at all , he started good but then he went full murderer ...
Odimm wasn't god he was the personification of evil if I remember right
nobody is saying he is god its just a nice touch from cdpr about his name .. (G)auntet (O)'(D)imm get it?
It was at this moment that i realised, witcher 3 is a masterpiece.
Me too
me as well
that for you. for me it's addicting. lmao
Even long after meeting the witches, I hated wandering those swamps for side quests because that theme kept playing and reminded me of them!
this theme plays in the swamp? never did for me. only when i met the crones
Kyle Howard Yes, it did for me. The entire swampy area around those huts of the crones and when I met the orphaned children and Johnny etc.
Arianna Deligianni oh i know the song you're talking about. Its not this song but its still creepy
Είχα κάνει κακάκια μου, για το πω απλά .
WHY THE HELL WOULD ONE GO BACK TO THE SWAMP?
"Damn you're ugly."
+Brandon Marsh Ohh That Stench
9/10 would bang them
"TOUCH ME, WHITE ONE"
"crone pls no"
99.9999% chance it would be their last piece of ass in this life.
omg dude i cant stop laughing
I'm not scared of the crones as much as I'm intrigued by them. There's something about them that really sits with me. I'm very sad that they didn't get a lot of screentime, they deserved alot more.
NO THEY ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED MORE
More of them will just give us eternal nightmare
+Dieter Jupiter It was good that they didn't get more time in the game. Made them more mysterious and more fun to meet them as ciri later in the game. When they are cooking dead babies lol
wtf it wasn't dead babies. It was amputated limbs and heads and stuff, but sure as long as I remember it wasn't dead babies
Well in the very first quest of them, if you killed the tree you could see that they eat all the orphans in their dialogue. So they did eat babies :( But in the Ciri screen it was just the bodies of the "chosen" people.
Not many games have the effect that the witcher has. Legitimately creeped out about oging in the swamp after seeing those bitches and hearing this. Amazing game.
So true! Bloody brilliant what this game accomplished
Prateek Alluwalia I love Dark Souls :D
Prateek Alluwalia I spent like 200hrs on each dark souls T.T so good tho
Anyone remembers swamp from the Witcher 1 ? :D
The question is, how can i forget?
"It's not something for you to understand, Witcher. Do your work, as we do ours. We have lived here a long time, and our children will live here after we have perished, and their children after them. These forests are older than your world outside. And so are our rites. In these lands, nothing comes without a price... and especially not the ladies' knowledge. And the ladies' always get what they desire. Always. Live long and prosper, Witcher."
- The mayor of Downwarren, after cutting off his ear as a token for the crones
I still loved every second of the slaughter I carried out when I ended up with the worst possible ending. I'd rather feel sad for once at the end of a game, than experience that hollow happiness that's so common in others.
I didn't kill the tree but I didn't let it escape either. I think still, the barron killed himself heh
+Oliver Draathelvete I let him escape, that freaking act ending up in killing both Anna and Baron, I was fuck I screwed up
NS Blaze
Then you really screwed up because I let the tree escape as well but still the Baron left with his wife to find a cure for her. There seem to be other variables deciding what happens later in the game.
MioRaem wait what? didn't know that, I lifted her curse by picking correct doll, she became normal but it resulted in her dying anyway, so Barron committed suicide afterwards, imma search for all alternate routes
Do you desire us?
No.
Dimitar Ivanov Not only "No", but "Hell No!"
Dimitar Ivanov I dont know, you see their "illusionary form" before killing Imreleth, and I wouldnt say no to them (and die).
Tim Peters Not just "HELL No", but "FUCKING HELL NO!"
Dimitar Ivanov The sticking out extra limbs...
Dimitar Ivanov YES :p in their "normal" Young women form
The Witcher 3 has some of the best music I've ever heard, that's pretty underrated and deserves to be praised more tbh
high praises coming from a guy without a mustache
Have you played o man with no life
Just Some Guy without a Mustache, please reply to my reply, I do apologize.. :(
and I agree, and liked
I don't think it's underrated. People here value the theme so much.
After the Crones predicted Geralt's return and death at the end of their conversation, I fuckin' bolted. I sprinted out of the glade and called Roach and galloped out of that place as fast as I could with this music playing in the background. I don't know what it was, but something about that fucking place and those fucking crones had and still has me scared absolutely shitless.
+StorytellerOfTheDead It's worse when it actually comes true (due to my horrible choices). I was so devastated. :'c
+alonghaircountryboy I fucking hated that place. Swamps, botchlings, older than dirt "deities"(the "ladies") The red Barron, the creepy tree, the hair woven painting.. All of these are like innate fears of mankind or something. But in retrospect, it's much like the dead money DLC of new vegas. The atmosphere is so perfect that you start to like it after you finish it even though its horrifying in the play through.
+StorytellerOfTheDead dude you're not alone i started a newgame+ it still scares the shit out of me those crones are quality nightmare material
+Kaan Nizam I would like someone to explain me why they are scared of them. I feel like I am the only one not scared. I liked the Crones, especially the music. Don't see why would someone be scared of anything while being armed with a weapon.
asd
this song fit the entire scenario perfectly. it had that creepy theme that had you confused and on edge
+Kyle Howard the bloody baron quest is just the best part of the game the cromes are epic and this track hits the spot
+Depth Tone actually my favorite part is defending kaer morhen. the barons part wasnt good because its early in the game so your gear isnt too good but story wise its great
@Kyle Howard
Exactly it is good storywise. Though many Questlines were good like the one with Keira or Radovics Assasination, the search for Ciri at the island of mist or the murdercase in Novigrad, The barones quest was definitely the best.
Seriously, this music sold the Crones for me. A powerful, echoing song.
The perfect game doesn't exi-
Too much dialogue, whonky combat, ^ loot system is garbage. Otherwise story, characters and ost are pretty good
Cody Robinson but... the dialog is like the best part about the game...
Champion Gundyr Theres a good bunch of bits in the dialogue, but that's what half of the gameplay is and it's somewhat unnecessary. But hey, it's my opinion, and I can respect yours
Witcher 3 definately isn't perfect
Fluffy Rice
its like 99% perfect
but still no game is perfect and witcher 3 is the best game ever created in my opinion
"Who are those women on the tapestry?" "Dem's the ladies."
Dems the wamen
Dems the gurls
Dems the harlots
Dems the Biatches
Thems the ladies and the ladies be catfishing
The whole Bloody Baron arc is so good I didn't even realize it was a side quest.
You don't know your main quests from your side quests.....
Usually, a quest or a mission is something you take as long as an hour to finish, at best. I started the Baron exchanges thinking it would be a fast one, then it evolved into something else. I despised the Baron, then started thinking he was alright for taking care of Ciri, to feeling some pity for the way his life was getting destroyed by the Crones. By the end, I was so invested that it became the most remarkable quest I ever did in a videogame. The music of Oxenfurt when getting closer during a rainy night was so mood setting too. WTF is this game
@@jackyb7547 The way it works is you play one quest once enough progress it gives you a second one in order to complete the first one you gotta do the second and then you make progress on the second it gives a third one and once only you complete the third one you finish the second and then you with all that you finish the first quest. Kinda annoying but awesome expirience the more you go down the rabbit hole so to speak.
Wait... bloody baron was a side quest ?
@@STRYKER1467 no
Slavic mitology..Creepy and awesome in one
If anything, the Crones reminded me of Macbeth!
John Smith then read about baba jagha :p they have made crones according to this folklore
Slavic mythology? Rlly? From where exactly? Do u know?
@@Tafe1988 This is a Polish game based on the Witcher fantasy novels by a Polish author. The plot draws from medieval slavic and germanic mythology. Look up the folk tales known as 'baba yaga' (evil women). Baba Yagas are extremely old malevolent women or witches who live in forest huts deep in the woods. They live either alone or in groups of 3.
@@darkzerk7 sorry to dissapoint but crones are defenetly Moirai there are many interpratation of them in Europe these so called women who sow fates. either in Slavic or Baltic or Celtic or anyother mythos there are these three ladies, they go by different names, for example in my culture they are called Laima, Dekla, and Karta. (baltic)
This quest one upped every quest in the game..even Geralt was hesitant to fight the crones
Geralt understood they had true power. The crones were some of the most powerful creature in existence, and geralt knew that
@@advaitkhopde96 HAhaha... Hell Yeah.. Gaunter O'Dimm is alone is too powerfull and scary than ladies of the woods and wild hunt itself.
zuber khan he is interesting, scary that he has that much power but not as creepy as the crones. Their last cutscene with them cooking amputated limbs, being weird and just being themselves. That cutscene may be one of the best scenes out of any game
Am I the only one who liked Dettlaff as a villain too, other than Gaunter and the Ladies?
@@advaitkhopde96 yup nothing compares to guanther o'dimm....i am 30 years man who is fearless and have been through war and real shit but that character sent chills in my spine
they could never have made a more fitting piece for the crones, holy shit i cant describe with Words how perfect this is
"Damn your Ugly" - Geralt of Riva
*you're
''*you're'' - critter swarm
"''*you're'' - critter swarm" - venus sacra
+critter swarm You fixed his '' your '' but didn't fix the most important part, Geralt's name? It's Rivia, not Riva.
~Dist i didn't want to come off as too picky
This music is just so perfect for that Eastern European witch/witchcraft vibe. Man, what an amazing track. I knew I was playing a special game when I first picked up The Witcher 3, but when I entered crookback bog, the hairs on my neck flared out. Amazing.
yeah man i got shivers when i heard this playing.
When you come in Easter Europe should play this music :D
To think that CD Project Red could make one of the most engrossing and profound quests in the game...
Based on a child's fairy tale...
@Joseph Waters Well, the ladies were created from the mud with magic, by the spirit of the ancient tree who was trapped. That spirit was the mother of the crones. Theres more things in a book u can find on the game.
If this is based on Hansel and Gretel, that originally wasn’t a children’s fairytale. You know who the brothers Grimm are?
I feel like The Witcher world is at its best when it plays with fairytales. 'A grain of truth', one of the short stories of The Last Wish, is probably one of my favourite short stories ever, Witcher or not. A retelling of the beauty and the beast inside the dark world of the witcher. Its amazing.
@@the11382 Indeed,but also the crones are based of Baba Yaga which origins from Russia.
The elder fairytall are vastely more violent than their disney counterparts
Monsters aside, the Witcher 3 is damn scary. You have the Wild Hunt, a ghostly cavalcade of wraiths that can teleport. The criminal underworld. The Emperor of Nilfgaard who can have you killed in a second. And worst of all, the Crones, ancient witches with immense power and an appetite for children, curses, and blood orgies. You pay them in EARS!!!
+Poisonedblade Nah, Geralt can kill them all, that's what truly scary. All this shit, and one witcher destroys it all. Makes sense that witchers are so hated.
Nah, that's not really true. Witchers aren't immortal beings. In the books, Geralt gets almost killed by a wizard. If I recall correctly, a sorceress manages to teleport him away. He would've died if she hadn't helped him. Imagine what the crones could've done to him.
In the Books, Geralt isn't that tough at all. He gets sucker punched and beaten up by a soldier. He gets lied to, tricked, etc. He's like a regular blue collar worker. Yen treats him like crap, too. In the games he is far more powerful.
Don't forget about Master Mirror, this guy is the quintessence of them all
+Ellyada Mass, I hated that guy.
im not sure, but witcher 3's soundtrack is probably the best game soundtrack ever
+Hugo G it truly is. i thought chrono trigger was gonna stay on my top list, but then came along witcher 3 and pushed it aside
+Hugo G Skyrim... ekhem
+Paweł Lewandowski Skyriim is old news.
So what?
+Hugo G I just can't separate this soundtrack from The Last Of Us' and Assassin's Creed II' so all three of them are the best for me.
The witcher 3 in my opinion has the best video game soundtrack ever
you are not alone...
That's a terrible opinion
Because it's just a FACT
With dark souls 3 and bloodborne agreed
Agree but I find the Skyrim OST much better.
It's certainly one of the best, I seriously can't decide between Witcher 3, Dark Souls trilogy or Nier Automata soundtracks.
The fucking third crone got away. That pisses me off greatly.
Samuel Weinstein Wish you could pay her a visit in post-credits, no matter the ending.
Alec Fortescue
Agreed.
Samuel Weinstein You kill her if Ciri dies during the ending. But that ending is one hell of a depressing ending, and she taunts the hell out of Geralt.
Yu Hong Tu spoiler alert
Yu Hong Tu Not cool dude damn
I think the crones are the best "witch" depiction in a video game.They are not just shallow evil, they are ancient evil, a kind that this world no longer knows what is,and they long about the way it was.They have their way of preserve what is left from the ancient world in the swamp, and dont want its "order" to be messed up.
Just played this game for the first time and wow the crones are amazing. When the captain says “how do you know they’re not here?” and Geralt says “because we’d all be dead by now” I was shook lmao. He’s willing to go after the wild hunt but he don’t want NOTHIN to do with the crones lmao
Friend: sends me this link
Me: Which song is this?
Violin - Starts
Me - going into PTSD
dont think thats a violin though
Probably a Kemençe ua-cam.com/video/uvNEtHaHkWk/v-deo.html
Its a hurdy gurdy :D
@@cxfxcdude A man of culture i see ;D
@@cxfxcdude it's a rebec.
Man, that scene where they are talking from the painting before you actually meet them. ::shivers::
Extraordinary music, and one of the most creepily atmospheric quest sequences in any RPG to date. Absolute masterpiece.
People who don't play videogames, particularly RPGs like this, don't know the power of the artistic experience that they're missing out on. Games only rarely hit those heights (e.g. some quests in BioWare and Bethesda games, the Witcher series, etc.), but when they do, when it all clicks, boy, there's no other art/entertainment experience that comes even close in terms of immersion and a feeling of "being there" in an alternate reality. It combines aspects of literature and cinema with that active element of feeling like you _are_ a character in the story, shaping it as you go. Amazing.
Ikr, "video games are stupid" have no idea
the fact of YOU must press those buttons to get out of swamp wow
New génération are coming don t worry
Frometon shame we have to wait for cyber punk before Witcher 4. Still excited for cyber punk but Witcher 3 was an incredible game
But how can we mention how great Bethesda is if we dont mention From Soft?
Truly an eerie quest. For some reason the themes in the quest almost reminded me of the earlier Silent Hills. Ancient, banal, petty, unknown evil with no true morality. No ultimate purpose, really, the evil in those woods just ARE.
"He lived a life of love, and knew no bitterness."
This one line disturbed me so much. Evil couldn't be portrayed better than this.
Not sure if "evil" is the right adjective, but yeah, envy can lead people to become evil.
@@cheeseandonions9558 The crones weren't humans though, now were they?
But I agree with you on the envy part in general.
Sounds like my wife is near by.
Lets make America a monarchy again. here have a reply
Why did you marry then?
He made a pact I bet
you are stupid for copy other people stuff
This line was in left 4 dead 2. Nice would say this whenever a witch was nearby. Except he would say ex-wife
This quest. Goddamn this quest. Meeting the ladies, after killing the spirit in the tree, and learning what they have done. "When I find her, We'll come back and kill you." Geralt was mad, but hell, I was mad. I was beyond mad. I will come back, it doesnt have to be as Geralt. I could come back as Ciri, Zoltan, Trish, Yenn, or even Dandelion. I'll come back as whatever CD Projekt Red wants me to come back as, just so long as I kill these unholy abominations of putrid hell.
I let the spirit free but still don't know whether it was a mistake or right decision
All i wanted was fighting them with geralt. I felt betrayed on bald mountain with ciri and i was mad as hell when i found out that you need the bad ending to actually end their existence.
this game is not black and white, wrong or right, this game is life.
@@celeb1723 If you kill the spirit ,the baron's wife don't become a monster , but the children are dead and the baron don't kill himself
@@pst5345 huh? I got a good ending AND killed the Crones
Wdym you need the bad ending for it 😭
I went for a walk in the woods near my town and during the stroll I played some ambient music via my Bluetooth speaker in the backpack. When this track started I legit got goosebumps and the forest suddenly got a creepy vibe to it. Feeling uneasy I changed the track and decided that was enough walk for the day.
This tune is really creepy
The scene where this is played the first time gave me the chills. Such a great score.
This tune was making me so uneasy while i was doing ladies of the woods quests. Still gives me shivers when i hear it.
I know, so brilliant!
Eastern Europien lore at it's best, Harry Potter cries in the corner
I kid you not when I saw the old Crones I had to shower because they were that ugly and I wish that was a joke... because after the entire quest I had to shower. (Only time when I hate graphics being too realistic)
Aside from how ugly they were. This quest story wise was the most unnerving, unsettling and dark.
oko379 i came so hard when i saw them so sexy omg
oko379 don't forget that one had a spider nest for an eye :P fuel for trypophobia...those guys know what they're doing xD
oko379 and the one with the bad eye is the youngest i cant even imagine what the others faces look like..scariest witches of all time
oko379 If you choose the kill the heart of the tree the orphans will die. The crones will remark that the children's feet tasted like caramel. Lol.
oko379 one of them kind of spread her EXTRA(!) legs saying : youll be back :)
There are so many monsters and creatures in this game that are terrifying, both animal monsters, undead, and human political evil, but nothing exuded the intense fear, eerieness and horror that this quest and the ladies of the wood did. Truly fantastic, terrifying creation here. Very much gives off the classic vibes of "witches" and what can lurk in the woods. Ghouls and hags have nothing on these ladies
In Poland the tradition in Baba Yaga live till today. I remember when i was few years old, nothing scared me like information about local forest/mountain witch-Baba Yaga which lived in my area brrr.
kurwa !!!! :(
:)
+Radosław Sporysz Same in Bulgaria baba yaga is a big deal for children till this day
+Radosław Sporysz In traditional Russian folk tales Baba Yaga is the scary character also.
But thanks to the animation and movies this character became funny old lady with childish manners.
Up here in Scandinavia we still tell tales of wrinkly witches like the Baba Yaga and other beings like the 'Nøkk' and 'Draug' which will come out of the water and kidnap children.
Mostly as a scare tactic to make children behave, though and steer clear of rivers and lakes at a young age.
We also tell of trolls who wander around when the sun disappears behind the horizon, how they,ll come out after dark and smell 'Christian Men's blood.' and eat you if given the chance.
It's quite unsettling to think about. Us Europeans have some pretty spooky mythology.
This game is legendary
Right
gives me goosebumps every time i hear the violin. 😨
+The Gamer Rat Imagine you go on a walk in the swamp and get lost, it gets dark and you see a cottage in the distance. You head towards it and you hear someone playing the violin with this music but they aren't really inside the cottage and at that moment the wind starts to howl. ( PS: Love this soundtrack )
+Jimmy Lander Omg...That would be living hell.... :)
Tbh it might actually be a Hurdy Gurdy, not a violin. Are you sure?
Sounds more like a Hurdy Gurdy to me
@@Gnostikos_ hurdy gurdy is awesome. But it can sound a lot like cello.
When I was playing the ladies of the woods mission the music volume suddenly increased over the voices of the characters, I guess some dev thought it would funny to drown out the dialog with this scarey tune. It worked, I was immersed. Loved it :D
Same man... VERY immersed
$8million pure crafted art.
Witcher 3 is one of the best game I've ever seen.
Those fucking Crones scared the shit out of me and this song stayed with me for a long while after visiting that damn swamp the first time. Every time I go near there I'm praying, 'please don't let those bitches come after me' lol.
This is the first game in a very long time that made me feel so unsettled when I met the Crones
I have played this game for at least 7 times since its release and everytime this quest starts i feel the goosebumps from my first playthrough, to be honest this feeling happens in every mission i played. This game is a masterpiece.
I love this song. I love this voices, voices with passion. Witcher is great. Both books and games
I've played Witcher III for the first time about 1 week ago and I have to say that it's an amazing game.
when the baron's wife touched the painting, the music started and the voices starting coming through...instant goosebumps.
"You've talked enough" - Ciri
That's one powerful moment.
Closest I've come to feeling I've lived another life inside a video game.
The moment i first traveled to Orphans of Crookback Bog, i had the most eerie feeling out of any horror movie i watched growing up. When i heard their voices through the painting, let alone seeing how they looked i thought they were the most evil Antagonists i have ever came across.
They made the wild hunt seem like your typical fairy tale antagonists. If CD Projekt Red ever want to make 1 more expansion, they should have it about the Crones, make them come back to life.
I still haven't figured out if the girls in the paintings used to be them when they were young and not twisted. Kinda like how in the Star Wars universe a sith can get extremely powerful, but bit by bit the dark side starts to affect your appearance and make you more grotesque and evil.
Bertolt Hoover The Crones ONCE looked like that yeah in their early years but after an eternity ruling in the swamps they became old and ugly.. they use magic to transform themselves into those beautiful women although it is just an ilusion! They nowadays look like.. well like you know how
Its not a painting my dear, its a tapestry. Woven of human hair
They can change their form at will, it's called polymorphism from what I understand from Geralt's dialogue with them
The Ladies of the Woods are actually quite interesting characters.
" I"ll be your BEST...And your Last"
is this was a dialogue in game ? Please help me out
Lol I work as a cashier at a retail job and im listening to one of those mix playlist and this group of three ladies with the karen haircut come up just as this song started playing before trying to complain to my manager for something stupid
Pay me in crowns and they will be dealt with. I'm a witcher.
Everything about the mission up to that point made me feel many emotions when the witches revealed who they were and why the spoilered character development happened. A very dark turn that just gave an unsettling, nauseous feeling. All of those feelings were pretty much captured in this track.
That scene is just perfect. Blood flooding carpet with creepy voice act and this awesome background music. You suddenly know that something big is coming.
This track scared the shit out of me the first I heard it, and when I saw the Crones I was like "Oh hell no!"
*best side quest in ANY GAME, EVER*
The crones should've been involved more tough! Best soundtrack and best character design in the game!
Wasn't it part of the main quest? I agree completely though.
Bit it's a main quest you idiot
I feel like there should be just another entire questline dedicated to them, before.....you know, they die.
@@300subscriberswithoutanyvideos they were way too weak
Yeah like Dettlaf
I love seeing comments about people who feel the same about this story arc in the game. The thing I loved about it is that I'm a pretty casual gamer so I had no idea if I was going towards this quest or not. All that happened was that I was in the woods that then became a swamp. And then I noticed sweets hanging from trees and was really weirded out by it. But I kept following the trail and then THIS music started and I knew something was very very WRONG.... and then I got to the orphanage and my feeling of dread just intensified.
Amazing gaming experience
as soon as i saw that the crones used candy to lure kids into a swamp in the middle of nowhere I was like " alright I've seen Hansel and Gretel to know where this is going, they gotta go " just couldn't let the kids get devoured by those creatures.
I really liked this music, a sense of ominous mysteriousness surrounding this music.
Is there a reliable place to download the unreleased tracks? I got the collector's edition with the sound track but sadly my favorite songs aren't included on the sound track
Andrew Camenga www.ssua-cam.com/video/SiyOajnJnTg/v-deo.html
Awesome thanks!
Only issue that I'm having though is that the songs won't play on itunes
Andrew Camenga convert them to m4a format and they will
Frank YagaMe doesn't seem to be working when I download it as an m4a format or do I need to use the Ummy video downloader? When I download it I choose Audio MP4 it shows as an m4a format when I do that or do I need to convert it again after downloading it?
God, the crones are almost as unsettling as denethor eating that tomato in return of the King.
Disappointed that I couldn’t play Gwent with them
2020 still playing the witcher 3
yup
Playing it for the 3rd time lol
Same here dude
Geralt: You look different on the tapestry.
2021 😀
*And you are afraid....you feel F E A R*
"You lie....I don't feel a thing, anymore"
One of the best bits of music in any game ever
The Music
The crones
The Dialogue
Damn !!! 10/10
Glad i played hide n seek with those kids , Damn i wish i can protect them.
You can.
Time for an another playthrough
You can, just do the opposite of what you did with the spirit in the tree
When this song popped in the first time I knew this was gonna be epic
Best game I ever played truly.
Me too
The swamp is literally nightmare fuel.
Not just in witcher 3
But one of the best written and designed missions in any game ever.
Atmosphere - 10/10
Story - 10/10
Consept is original
Scary but intriguing as it should be
No happy ending, instead only darkness can come out of dealing with these Crones
And the music, god, i even downloaded it to my phone.
The previous games had great story aswell, but the gaming engine then didn't do them much justice, but witcher 3?
Easly one of the greatest games ever.
When i got to that point. I was so creeped out, i wanted to get the content in the swamp done so i'd never have to return to that place. And while i was in that swamp, i was always expecting some enemy to suddenly attack me. It's creepy and it gets me to check every corner and to always have my sword out. And no other place in this game made me want to leave it and never come back to it as this swamp did. This is why i love this game.
Don't forget how ugly them baba yaggas looked... The look and the sound some of the creepiest creatures I've seen and i don't think forgetting them anytime soon
@@Nier_altruist Exactly. They look like demons from the underworld. Very disturbing. But they do their job well. They're meant to be creepy and unsettling.
THE BEST SOUNDTRACK IN THE WITCHER! I can't get it out of my head: D
Yesss... and music of Gaunter O'Dimm
The Witcher books are inspired by Slavic culture but also by British and Scandinavian culture. The granddaddy of fantasy Mr. Tolkien had a big impact here. It's great to see everyone enjoying Geralt and pals thirty years after he appeared on the literary scene. Wouldn't have happened without CD Project Red and their games though, so let me raise a glass to them. I get a kick every time a random American cites the Law of Surprise.
The general inspiration for writing The Witcher was European culture. Sapkowski also drew from many fairy tales. And the world is simply the European Middle Ages. And so you can see inspirations from Tolkien there, but the Witcher is more brutal than LOTR, more vulgar and real.
"HUM BAAAAAAARRRH ! TAHITI TAHITI, BAAAAARH ! TAHITI-HITI "
The entire scene when you first “meet” them was absolutely amazing. I feel a bit bitter about my choices but that makes a replay of the game all the more appealing
When she's not the same as her Tinder profile.
even the great escanor shat his pants while encountering them the first time
One of the few video game quests that makes you feel disgusted with yourself, between the painting and then seeing them in the flesh.
It’s not just a game, it’s treasure of our generation 🖤
This song is so utterly haunting. It perfectly captures the crones and how truly horrible they are.
I legit just got done playing this for the first time. My spine is chilling 😥😥 I love this quest and everything that comes with it
This is by far the most iconic music because of the quest ig brings with it
Just looking at that spirit tree from a distance gives me the creeps
I am from poland and when i was i child my mum was reading me fairy tale abaut three witches from swamps living in the sweet house.I always was afraid of this tale but i've never imagined witches like that.In game they where 100% scarier than in a tale
That quest was the creepiest thing I've ever witnessed in a game. The malevolence of the crones and unease of that bog was something entirely another level
Witches: ha ha ha, you really hope to kill us?
Gerald: -Yes
In my opinion, these are most mysterious 'monsters' by far. The game goes so far as to stop you from defeating such a threat until the very end of the game, unlike any other Witcher contract out there, making you question just exactly what the hell they are all the way through, since they're able to slip through your grasp so many times.
When speaking to them via the tapestry, the scene really does depict such a god-like, all knowing, all encompassing threat that they portray, yet you know there's something about them that can be killed, or at least harmed.
I love the theme. I think it perfectly illustrates the nature of these women, so much so, that I even get shivers every time I meet them in Crookback Bog. Every time.
I was maybe 10, and my family had moved to Canada because of the war, but finally we went to Bosnia to see family and our old homes.
One day while playing with my younger sister and other kids during dusk, we encountered some old ladies who told us to run home.
They said witches came out in the night and stole stray children away to their huts in the deep woods and swamps. That they chopped them up and hung their meat to dry, and that we’d never be seen again.
Remember that to this day. Playing the crones of crook back brought all those stories back.
