- His smile fair as spring, as towards him he draws you;
His tongue sharp and silvery as he implores you.
Your wishes he grants, as he swears to adore you,
Gold, silver, jewels - he lays riches before you.
Dues need be repaid and he will come for you
All to reclaim, no smile to console you.
He'll snare you in bonds, eyes glowing afire
To gore and torment you till the stars expire!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most haunting and mysterious characters of the Witcher Games gets his Extended Theme Mix: Gaunter o' Dim, also known as Master Mirror and Man of Glass. A shady being that will grant your wishes - for the prize of your soul!
“The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for"
I wouldn't call O'Dimm the devil, sure he enjoy torturing people, but only for those that deserve it, and even when he lose, he still wins, even if you save Von Everic, he recovers his feelings and the only that he could feel was pain and suffering for those that he lose, he would be drowning in his own misery the rest of his life, if you are good and honest, O'Dimm wont come for you, but if you are selfish, arrogant, brutal and ruthless, he surely would come, if you are lucky, he only would curse you, if you are unlucky, he would offer you a deal for your soul and would trick you and made you think that you have the upper hand, when he in control all the time.
@@TheKeyser94 What did the professor do to deserve his fate? What did Iris do? The friendly drunk man? The Wight's victims? He doesn't just torture the human who signed his pact or did bad act, he goes after everyone the person interacts with and anyone who annoys him to satiate his sadism. No, Gaunter is evil, THE evil and he relishes torturing human lives. He even has a creepy song. I mean, come on?
@@hueylongdong347 No one call Mephistopheles a saint, but O'Dimm only cares to play with very bad people, to people that call his attention, like the professor, and toy with him, and Iris is not innocent either, she was there making part of the deal with Von Everec, she was the added the clause that to the deal to be finish they needed to be in the surface of the moon. But call him this kind of characters "evil" when they do this kind of things for worse people, like Von Everec, being to simplistic, Von Everec was a warlord, he pillage and killed, either way if you "save" him or let O'Dimm take his soul, O'Dimm would win, if you "save" him, Von Everec, would recuperate his feelings, and would feel guilt and sorrow the rest of his life for all the lives that he had taken, doing one thing or another is irrelevant because either way O'Dimm would win, I think that make him live is the worst punishment that only letting O'Dimm take his soul.
@@TheKeyser94 Professor was tasked with doing a job and O'Dimm mentally tortured him for it. He called for Gaunter O'Dimm's attention like a woman with a short skirt calls to be raped. Where is it stated that Iris partook in the blood pact? It was between Olgierd and O'Dimm. Gaunter IS evil because he casually murders a drunk man for simply interupting him. The people Olgierd has killed pale in comparison to the ones Gaunter O'Dimm has. Need I remind you that after Gaunter transformed Marlene into a monster, it would cause the deaths of countless innocent peasants in the Trastemara area? Since O'Dimm is ancient, he has done this countless times.
Don't act like Gaunter O'Dimm tortures and hurts people because they deserve it, many in fact don't. He willfully and maliciously conspires to cause suffering to people that might be spared. And he does this because he is a degenerate monster in human flesh that feeds on the pain and suffering of others. O'Dimm has a scienter - he knows full well that his contracts hurt people further. Even if their wording is vague, their intent is clear but Gaunter twists peoples words because he enjoys ruining lives. He is like an adult who gives a gun to child with the intent that the child would eventually end up shooting himself and others. He is fully responsible for what happens to the people he bestows his unnatural "gifts" upon.
Gaunter doesn't win if Geralt saves Olgierd. Mirror wants only one thing - human souls. For him, pain to a soul is simply like a crunchy crust to a bread. If he doesn't get to feast on the person's soul, he automatically loses. Whatever Olgierd further suffers further, guilt or whatnot, is irrelevant because O'Dimm cannot claim him.
@@TheKeyser94 , Gaunter O'Dimm loves to torture and kill innocent people too. He is the devil.
I love how "normal" Gaunter looks. He doesn't look like an important character. He looks like a random npc in the game, and that's brilliant. He's not supposed to stick out. It actually makes him more creepy.
you can see him almost in every hearts of stone mission ,dressed up as guards or random peasants ,if you pay attention....watching your decisions as you progress
he is simply a merchant ;)
@@Lazaruz95 that shit terrified me on my first play though, I mean if he is everywhere and knows everything... then is he some kind of god ?
@@jameslegrand848 he is definetly strong as one .
I think this is an amazing detail as well. Even though you understand he's not just some NPC at the moment you talk to him x)
The story between Gaunter O'dimm and Olgierd Von Everec could have been a video game by itself
easy, a longer drawn out storyline. more angles to investigate and you'd easily have a worthy creepy supernatural story to tell.
It is a real story in Polish folklore about Pan Twardowski (Olgierd) who made a deal with a devil and managed to trick him
10 hrs is basically a whole game itself lol
@@bestiawadowicka Twardowski didn't exactly manage to trick the devil tho. It was his prayers that "saved" him so he landed on the moon.
If anything, the devil tricked him like Gaunter tricked Olgierd by "standing on the moon".
@@Aizec300 there are different versions of it
One of the creepiest things about this guy is how low his gwent card value is, like he's masking his true power even in the card game
I am talking to CDPR about that
Actually is not that weak if you summon his other cards.
@@rafaelannibale1697 it is
@@rafaelannibale1697 He is among the weakest muster cards in the game and has arguably the worst muster mechanic since only playing Gaunter will summon the whole set.
@@vahlen5281 Ghouls give you 3 power in total. Nekkers give you 6 power in total. Gaunter and the Darknesses gives you 14 power in total, 12 without Gaunter himself, which is still decent considering it surpasses the power of most hero cards, and pretty close to Geralt&Ciri cards' power. It's nowhere near the worst muster card (which is Ghoul basically), it's pretty good considering the card is neutral so you can use it in any deck.

@@eleseussellanra7036 what does that mean
That moment when CDPR realizes that Gaunter O' Dim's plot line was more interesting than the Wild Hunt itself.
really? was it?
Yes.
It was hell lot more interesting.
well, you can't really top the Devil, he's the ultimate antagonist. Except of course Super Devil, he's always better.
I agree the Wild Hunt, and specially Eredin were weak villans
At first the Crones seem to be the most vile and dangerous entities in Witcher 3. It's only when you meet Gaunter O'Dim that you realize the crones were infants compared to him.
The Crones would wet themselves if Master Mirror got angry with them
Haha I feel exactly the same.
I wonder what a contract between them would look like
The crones disgust me. But O’Dimm truly *terrifies* me.
Most dangerous? They are under Wild Hunt in "Food Chain" - since they are scared of Imlerith, and Gaunter o' Dimm is at the top of "Food chain" in Witcher universe.
*Someone breaks into my house*
"Alexa, play Gaunter O'Dimm theme"
Exactly ain’t nobody messing with gaunter o dim
The children singing in particular. That will make anyone shit their pants lol
I will remember to the scene, where Gaunter o' dimm kills a guy with a spoon...
The burglar discovers you like Witcher 3 and offers you a round of Gwent! You nod silently...
I saw you turn that light off!
Definitely the best portrayal of the devil I've ever seen in a game.....
Robert McMillan or anywhere for that matter
In many ways the most scary portrayal too.
or GOD?
Gaunter O' Dimm
Jolly Roger xd
The eerie feeling that we met him just at the start of the game is already eerie enough but his complexity is even worse. He looks so calm and seems a normal human being until...............he stabs a spoon in your eye and you instantly die.
"We men of the road must stick together,perhaps one day I'll be in trouble and you'll be near by to help"
"Greetings, Geralt. Remember me?"
I always thought there is something rather odd about him the when I met him on

tung nguyen Well after you meet him in White Orchard, you can see him walk out the gate but if you go and have a look outside, he is nowhere to be seen. He literally disappears as soon as he exits the door. That was creepy as fuck.
O'Dimm : What do you want CDPR?
CDPR : Cyberpunk 2077 should be remembered forever.
O'Dimm : (smirking) As you wish, CDPR.
Now everything makes sense!
Fuck it.. this is now canon
underrated comment
After the Edgerunners anime. It truly hit top 10 on Steam. So yeah it is remembered in a way.
It's mostly fixed now but nobody is gonna forget the first impressions
You get what you wish, no what you want.
The scariest part is that if you choose to help Olgierd and "beat" Gaunter at his own game, you have just made an enemy of the most powerful (to the best of our knowledge) being in the witcher-verse. Another scary part is, as far as I understand, he chooses to be bound by the rules of the "game" as it would be boring otherwise, so by that line of logic, when you "beat" him at his game, he literally just chooses to walk away, and come back another time.
It’s kinda like that song where the devil challenges a guy to a fiddle battle. And when he loses he accepts defeat even tho HE was the judge of the contest himself
@@Childishxmarkeeloo accept defeat just to return
You literally made an enemy of him by interacting in White Orchard. The moment he is aware of you, he *will* end up fucking you up, sooner or later.
Banishing him at least keeps him at bay before another retard summons him back.
i personally think its more then just 'walking away' i think the scary part is not the absolute laws of his power and deals, but the way he manipulates us, like a trickster.
I think that is also the core of his power, he in a way can't lie because he is bound by the contract/deal himself.
But knowledge is power, and words can be a fickle thing but with Gaunter, words are law, like self fulfilling prophecy's.
@@giocommentary That is also interesting and quite plausible, although I’m leaning towards the theory that he chooses to “bind” himself by his own rules, meaning he wields power that could destroy us (the player) at any moment, but chooses not to as it would not be fun.
He is in all possibility an ancient being who has been around for who knows how long, when you have the laws of time/space, life/death and quite possibly unlimited life at your fingertips, things presumably become really boring.
I do also believe that he is not an absolute being, in the full sense of a God (an in omnipotent/omniscient/perfect). He’s more than likely some sort of demon or lesser God.
Just like Loki was a trickster in Norse mythology, but was not nearly as strong as Thor or Odin and many other gods.
This guy makes wild hunt look like jumping bunny
moviefanperson When the DLC side quest is more interesting than the main story.
Bunch of boy scout that's what they are, nothing more than elves who spent 3 years in the gym before going for a world hopping trip. But O'Dim? He's on another level of intimidating.
He fucking makes the crones look like maggots
It's just a bunny until you need to use The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
True
Mind blown when you realised you talked to gaunter o dimm and ask where yennefer is in white orchard then suddenly gone
I know right? Honestly I had no idea he'd be the devil, or something like the devil, really just thought he was some charismatic serial killer.
+LisaLisaKenadoresher Vegetariansoylentgreen Indeed! I will always help against to stop that man he is pure evil!
*Mephestopheles* not the devil but rather the devils right hand man.
+Norse Rainer indeed sir!
Gaunter O'Dimm's initials spell G.OD lmao.
I just realized that there is only one thing Gaunter O'Dimm cannot beat or in any way interfere with, it was actually mentioned if as a reward you asked him about Ciri and he specifically says that "there are forces he cannot meddle with, even for him" . Took me a while to realize what he was refering to, yet it was under my nose all this time.
The only thing Gaunter O'Dimm cannot meddle or in any way interfere with is *Destiny* .
He can't deal with Ciri's powers.
@@whatisbow2865 while that might be true all that was actually confirmed by that is he can’t deal with destiny which is a huge thing in the Witcher world
To be honest, I believe it was rather due to the fact that she was hidden on the Isle of Mists.
@@whatisbow2865 Not really, Ciri would give a good competition, but she's nothing in front of O'Dimm. He can just stop time, and slice her neck before she can even teleport. And he's probably gonna be able to predict where she would teleport to as well...
Its possible, but later in the Gwent trailer for the Master Mirror expansion, its pretty clearly indicated that O'Dimm sort of partially plays a part in controlling the thing we and several others in the Witcher universe call "Destiny". What I am thinking is that he probably didn't want to tell Geralt where she was, which is why he pretended to not be able to interfere in his business, despite possibly knowing ALL the events of the main game.
What a beautifully written story. Still cant believe this was just a DLC and not a full game. It was short but it’s impact made it worth it
@Jabroni Destroyer u mean tutorials dress as campaigns
I think that fact that it's DLC increases the impact, just enough story to making you want more but still having a fantastic time with the journey. I kind of like the idea that this one thing Geralt can't put down for good and him still being clueless about what Gaunter is.
Seriously...HoS is one of the only times that Geralt lost...
@@patnolen760 Also it's like 25 hours long so it really is a full game compared to most games
>It was short
This dlc is several times longer than any last call of duty, or some other shit.
How can this be considered "short". A full playthrough takes 25 hours, more than most other games that cost $60-$70.
Eredim was a mortal looking like a devil, Gaunter is a devil looking like a human. Illusion, illusion.
I suppose then hes a master mirror
Eredin*
Eredin wasn't really a mortal. He was an elf. His age could be 1000 years...
@@JudgeHolden2003 Immortal means you don't age (depending on the context). Elves, although they have massively larger lifespans than humans, still eventually die of old age. Therefore, they're not immortal.
@@notnero5280 if you Say So, looks like Witcher's elves aren't exactly the same as in LOTR.
Just a little note: O'Dimm's motif is played on a fiddle, an instrument strongly associated with the devil in European folklore.
played us like a damned fiddle
@Adrian Gauterie Mirror of Gaunter O'Dimm - Mirror of GOD = The Devil.
@@alfonsocyrusjoshua9551 Ah, a man of culture.
@@alfonsocyrusjoshua9551 you can play me like a fiddle any time
I bet that one dude who bested O'Dimm that the professor tells us about was named Johnny.
Man... I feel bad for Eredin. Gaunter, The Crones and Dettlaff really out-shine him as a villain
I dont think Eredin was a villain truly. He was just another actor in Elven politics, not cut out to be a true villain. He was just acting according to his interests and benefits thats it. You can even talk his generals out of the whole struggle.
But the others were truly monsters. Especially O’Dimm, a monster among monsters.
Ok, maybe not villain, but definitely antagonist
Aye.. Gaunter O'Dimm, Dettlaff and The Unseen Elder easily outshine Eredin.
The Crones ? Well, meh ! But they were such naughty ladies !
@@SiddharthSinghFiery69 detlaff was hard as fuck to beat but I figured out you just need to dodge
You know, I think I know the reason. Fear of the unknown. When we did not understand who was The Wild Hunt, we were afraid of them. We do not clearly know what O'Dimm and how MUCH he's capable of. Same goes for The Crones, although you can argue you do know what Dettlaff is capable of being a Higher Vampire.
Everyone gangsta till a wooden spoon sticks in their eye.
Fun fact I just found: In Blood and Wine, when Geralt tells the story of Marlene as part of main quest - a woman that was cursed and turned into a wight by beggar l that she refused to give food to, Gaunter’s theme starts playing in the background.
We can assume that the beggar was no other than Gaunter O’Dimm
Considering the guy broke a spoon as the first part of his curse, that's probably the truth.
i just played that part and yes i heard that creepy theme again yes mate well done
no need for assumtions. The notes in the house refer to a begger and vagrant that cursed her. Even her dialogue all but confirms it's Gaunter o' Dimm
Oh my god that makes so much sense
I don't remember where into the quest it happens, I think Marlene herself speaks the words "master mirror" or something like that when she tells you what happened to her while she works at Corvo Bianco. To me it was obvious who cursed her from the spoons and there are letters you can find in the house.
I've nearly finished my playthrough of Witcher 3. I'm thinking of what to play next.
Think I'll play Witcher 3 next.
Outstanding move
Comment like this make reading comment section so interesting.
That's literally what I did the first time I played the witcher 3. I havent done that for any other game.
My choice for four years straight. And for years to come.
I'm on the B&W DLC now. When I finish it, I will make a new game . Got that urge since I finished the Bloody Baron questline.
The scariest thing isn't how evil he is; it's how normal he looks
I know, right?
He is evil incarnate, no two ways about it. But you would expect someone like him to stand out. Gaunter just looks like a guy and it’s terrifying.
Even in Gwent he is terrifying cause if you have the full set of his cards, you can get up to 14 points by playing him. That's only 1 point less than Ciri and Geralt's cards.
The fact that you meet him right at the start of the game and that they then managed to tie him into such a wild story is just beautiful.
The antagonist you can never kill, only outsmart. Effing brilliant. Well-played, CDPR.
Charles Burnham abd as Geralt once said, "moral victory, that's what counts"
Nicky Penn xD
Finally a character that can throw The Joker off the throne of crazy and creepiness.
Being so used through the game to thrust my sword through everything to deal with it, then coming across him.. I was like actually like, well fuck.. He is actually immortal and can control time..
O'Dimm is not insane.
He's evil, yes, but not insane.
Geralt of Rivia: You're not human, that's clear. So what are you? A demon? A djinn?
Gaunter O'Dim: Do you really wish to know?
Geralt of Rivia: Yes.
Gaunter O'Dim: No, Geralt, you don't. This one time I shall spare you and not grant your wish.
Sent fokin chills to me spine m8
He is a demon or even Satan himself , you can see that at the final when he transforms , i think he is Satan himself in human form
GO'D is not the only devil here.
Pretty sure a devil or demon can't stop time or drive people insane with just knowing what he is. I'd say he is at least an expy of Nyarlathotep. Some sort of extradimensional eldritch horror.
you're delusional
the witcher 3 is another universe, it has its OWN universe, probably satan or demons could stop time if he was indeed one. Who are you to say that demons or satan cant stop time? Lol
When I was playing Hearts of Stone, the game captured me so much I felt I was Geralt. At the end of the story I didn't save Olgierd because I was so afraid of what Gaunter could do to me that I just let Olgierd die. This is the deepest experience i have ever had with a videogame
You should do a replay and save him. You'll get a sword you'll never change again, after you played HoS

@@ozymandias9450 I think you have to loot them from O'Dimm's realm.
I just love how gaunter's "boss fight" intimidates you because it aims to make you anxious and tense because of the relentless passing of time, while detlaff's boss fight intimidates you because of its concrete danger, because he is one of the most dangerous vampires and can destroy you in one millisecond. Two perfect final confrontation for two perfect villains
I love how this theme song played in blood and wine during the spoons quest. if you noticed, it makes so much more sense why the poor woman got cursed.
Never realised that o'dims theme played during this quest...now that's creepy.
her own fcking fault greedy and arrogant bitch got punished hahahahah never sawn a better punishment than this , you dont fck with the devil
He's mentioned in a few letters in that quest too
It was Gaunter o Din who did that, check wiki fandom, the books, youtube and other sources, it was him who cursed that woman
The beggar was selling mirros
It's simply brilliant how this character was introduced in the beginning of the main game. You thought it was just a random character with no story and .... BAM he gets an expansion! This is why i love Witcher 3. The characters and story is amazing.
I had totally forgotten about him at the start of the game, when I started playing again after this dlc I almost shit my pants when I saw him in the beginning. The unseeming ones scare me the most...

Eredin checks for Gaunter O´Dimm under his bed before going to sleep.
Gaunter O' Dimm has to be one of the best-written characters in video game history hands down.
I know I'm picking on an older comment here, but one of the great things about O'Dimm is that he has a solid amount of lines and scenes, but not too much (in comparison to other well-written characters like Solas from Dragon Age or Kreia from KoTOR 2). He is amazingly presented, but I'm not sure if "well-written" is the most fitting term here. Us not knowing much about him, about the details of his personality, powers and story/lore make him so much more exciting and menacing. We get hints, and our fantasy fills the rest with stories about evil we encountered in other media. On the other hand, I guess them knowing when to stop giving exposition, when to stop writing, also counts as "well-written".
antagonists with charming attitude are the best :D
To be honest ,only antagonist close to him is Pagan min .
(I dont include Eredin since we dont see much of him really)
+Ace IsTheShit eredin was a joke, his generals got more screentime than him and seemed more like villains...
The only gripe I have with CDP is the handling of Eredin. I was expecting more from the charismatic and attractive elf. In the game he was rather generic and looked pretty.....of I would say. Also expected more interactions between him and Cirila, considering she was interested in him and he had plans for her.
I think CDPR even admitted that the Wild Hunt was quite lacking as villain.
One of the main problems is that the Wild Hunt's strength is, mostly, in numbers. They were big, bulky and had super human strength and only few could freeze everything. That's it. Gaunter could single-handedly, instantly, wipe out the Wild Hunt if he so desired. Detlaff was one of the more powerful vampires, and he could probably rip those giant, slow, armored elves a new one with vampiric agility. Hell. Detlaff and Regis could probably wipe out the Wild Hunt albeit not was easily as Gaunter.
The craziest part of it all is how many times Gaunter O’Dimm appears throughout the wild hunt. He can be found sitting in a market square, and just about everywhere. It’s creepy.
Where did u find him??
The Mysterious Stranger all over the place man. During a play through, take your time and look around for him. He can be found up above in a set of rafters, under some floor boards, in a hole in a wall, markets, etc.
There are some npc's that look similar? Are u sure it was him? Like did he say something when trying to interact?

He was such a great character. They need to have him in CyberPunk. Hear people humming his theme or something. Just to let you know hes still here. The fact he makes you feel powerless is terrifying.
CDPR seems pretty adamant about keeping their two franchises separated lore wise though. They've been asked about Gaunter and Ciri both several times and each time has been met with firm answers.

I love how they built him up in the story, piece by piece. I first thought.. ''he's a merchant'', then ''oh he must be very powerful mage'', then ''A djinn or something''. I was in the dark just as Geralt. Then I figured out some clues in the haunted house, and then the professor's tale. Brilliant. This is how you built things up to momentum.

The slow, impending sense of dread you get the more you see him, talk to him and deal with him is unparalleled in gaming. You slowly realise Geralt is totally outmatched by conventional means and this guy could do anything he wanted

- You're not human, that's clear. So what are you ? A demon ? A djinn ?
- Do you really wish to know ?
- Yes.
- No, Geralt, you don't. This one time I shall spare you and not grant your wish. All who have learned my true name are now either dead or have met an even worse fate. Yet I still need you.
You don't mess with Gaunter holy cow...
He is a demon= evil djinn
@@Smoos54 Gaunter O' Dimm - GOD he is a mirror reflection of god himself, he is one of a kind.
The most exciting dialog line in the game after endings in the elf tower I have ever heard in this game.
Smoos54 i think he’s a mixture of Nyarlathotep and Satan. They both fit his description perfectly.
He's a penguin.
Dettlaff and Syanna were good antagonists, The Wild Hunt and the Crones were good antagonists as well... but Mr. O'Dimm... oh, he was the best of them all by far.
You're quite right - a terrific game with superb villains throughout
Dettlaff wasn't really a villain. Poor guy was a victim and tbh even Syanna was a victim but her motives were far darker and that made her the real Beast of Beauclair.
Gaunter O'Dimm : Such an intriguing character and pure evil. Also, I liked how he could judge people by their true nature.
@@SiddharthSinghFiery69 that's why I called him an antagonist, not a villain, bro. You are right, both are different things.
whats an anthagonist?
@@gregtronica3569 a main villain
Imagine watching the new season of the Netflix series. Geralt visits an inn and you can see Gaunter sitting on a table, his eyes fixed upon him.
Ah, yes. Shitty pants moment.
With a wooden spoon. Just in case.
It’s too bad that the netflix adaptation sucks and they’d ruin the character if they touched it
@@elkpants1280 Netflix adaptation is good. You can't appreciate it if you've never read the books.
@@Sailormoon-moon cavil is the only decent actor, the nilfgaardian soldiers are literally designed to look like a cock and balls according to the creators, tons of SJWlite shit going on, race bending of original characters, WAY too much shot/reverse shot for dialogue makes it feel like a cheap sitcom. The directors have no idea what they are doing. So no, it is trash.
They based him on polish legend about Mr. Twardowski. He represented devil, and Twardowski is represented by Everec. They wrote a pact about devil granting Twardowski 3 wishes, but then they would meet in Rome and devil would have his souls. Twardowski evaded going to Rome but he ended up with his soul taken inside tavern called "Rome". They changed Rome to moon in this version.
MrKoval92 They didn't simply change "Rome" to "Moon" though. According to the legend, as the devil was taking Twardowski's soul to hell, Twardowski prayed to virgin Mary. Mary then forced the devil to drop Twardowski's soul and it landed on the moon, where Twardowski still lives to this day. The attention to detail by CD project Red is amazing
Faust is also an inspiration.
MrKoval92 also a few Stephen King characters
MrKoval92 He's also inspired by the Stephen King character "Walter O' Dimm" who goes around to different worlds and plays with people's lives.
And, also Rumplestiltskin or whatever his name is.
"He grants you what you wish not what you want" Professor Premethine Shakeslock - Oxenfurt Academy
What does that even mean? It doesn't make sense
@@hamedm9241 It means that Gaunter knows what a person wants when they wish for something, the problem is he enjoys dealing with rotten individuals the most and when doing so he fucks them over purposefully by playing around with them. Olgierd for example wanted immortality and riches in the end he became an emotionless wreck and lost everything dear to him for he was a vile human being and Gaunter knew that. Gaunter takes pleasure in ruining humans lives but he has his reasons for it. Unlike Geralt someone with pure and noble intentions was indeed sought out by Gaunter to be his aide in this Quest, at the end when you wish something from him he will grant it without any catch or contract; it is a gift for his honesty which Gaunter must've appreciated. He might be Evil Incarnate but atleast we can see that he does things by a certain code.
@@hamedm9241 it is simply means he gives you what you literally asking, not what you really want, trick in the formulation
@@wrewrwrewtre3 yeah, even himself when says that when he meets geralt near the end of HoS
"I dont have the fault that they are not happy of their wishes, is the fault that they poorly formulate"
Gaunter always like the "little words" in their contracts, like in thronebreaker in an easter egg that is a contract with him it says "when the sun rises in the dark of the night in Lyria, the pact will be done" but never say what kind of sun need to be, and we know that the contract was fullfil. Why? Because Nilfgaard invade Lyria and Rivia during the night...and Nilfgaard has a sun in his flag
God, O'Dim is a genius of contracts
Every wish that he has granted has major setbacks, ever noticed?
In Hearts of Stone, Gaunter O' Dimm asks you to see him first before speaking with Olgierd to plot something against him. If you don't go to that meeting place of O' Dimm and directly go to Olgeird, when you reach his house O' Dimm would be sitting on top of a tree and a cutscene will play where he will warn you about double crossing him. This happened the first time i played. Mind Blown.
Easily one of the scariest villains I remember from a game. The way you suddenly realise the extent of how evil he is was more chilling than any zombie jump scares
And the realisation he's been watching you since the very start of the game. After playing Heart of Stone, O'Dimm's presence forever lingers over the whole game, even on subsequent playthroughs. They nailed this character, definitely one of the most unnerving characters in a game of recent memory.
Yep. Realizing you're working for the literal Devil
When he walks away whistling his _own_ theme...I lost it...I just freakin' lost it! Geeze these characters are well developed!
Why da fuck didn't you banish him. I didn't even consider leaving Olgierd to an eternity of possibly suffering. I mean he isn't supposed to be the greatest person in the world but still.
Snooch Mangoosh I think some people didn’t interfere because they were scared shitless of Gaunter haha
Manu J. yeah but honestly Gaunter’s rewards are not all that. The ya re good but a bit game breaking for me. Plus I wanted the Silver Venom Sword and that other dude’s glowing Red Saber more (I’m obsessed with swords).
Jonathan Irizarry The thing I always do is in the firs play trough i choose the saddle and in the second one (ng+) i save olgierd. That way you can have both.
Manu J. Fair enough
When I bought Hearts of stone I would have never guessed that in such a cheap DLC there would be the best villain I've seen in a video game in years (or maybe best villain in a game ever?) this guy was so amazing, so intriguing.
Edit years later 2023: Playing through this masterpiece again years later and this guy still gives me the creeps, like seriously he makes you so uneasy lol, the way every character talks about him for example and the things he does himself which make it clear you can’t seriously hope to beat him in a fight straight up, he made The Wild Hunt look like child’s play in comparison 😭
I just don't go into other games expecting Witcher's level of writing, nothing comes close.
MrXxsesshomaruxX Unless it's MGS 4.
I was never able to get into the MGS series.
***** That's because the story takes a lot more time to understand.The witcher 3 is pretty straightforward.
Really? N A N O M A C H I N E S brother. I love both games and I think we shouldn't compare them but appreciate them for the masterpieces they are.
"I'm not Omniscient", yea ok buddy
He’s not if you use odim trickery he dosent know exactly everything
He probably has meta knowledge or something like that
ahh, the demon that fulfills wishes through pacts... one of the oldest and most often told elements in European folklore and yet it works brilliantly still
When I got Heart of Stone, I didn't immediately jump into the quests. I cleaned out all those new Question Marks that popped up on my map. After the local populace came back to a place that I rid of ghouls, a small circle of children started chanting this little diddy I haven't heard before, suprising to me since I played the game for about 80 hours already. I wrote it off as a neat little detail. When Gaunter approached Geralt on the Offieri ship, the dots connected immediately and I don't think I ever had such an intense case of dread-filled goosebumps~
Panuska There are also children singing his tune at the crossroad where he tells you to meet him.
And then it returns near the end, and you finally know it's not all children's rhymes but something else...
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, give what I wish for most above all." and the Man of Glass shall grant your wish.
Yeah same. I was like hmmm this a creepy song about.....Gaunter. Then the reprise to outsmart him in his world. And I was like goodness
I remember! A few weeks ago I came across that. At the time I just stood there and heard them chant. Didn't know what it was about. Though when Geralt met Gaunter all was clear.
I was walking by them, and heard them singing. I also stopped to listen, and was pleasantly listening along. As the song got darker and darker, I remember slowly backing my chair away from the screen, and ran from that town as fast as I could. Every time I heard that song I fucking up and left whatever I was doing, and usually went back to Novigrad. I recall that I slept with the light on for two weeks initially.
Eredin was a chump compared to him.
Eredin is a threating for a mortal because of his unmatched swordsmanship, but Gaunter is the devil incarnate, he can do what ever he pleases.
After him comes the unseen elder....
H3ADSH0T DUDE No.
He is not the devil incarnate, since his power is very limited
Samsunganer Oh
Eredin is a poor warrior, he has no swordsmanship skills.
One of the coolest vilians of recent time. shame he doesn't get more attention.
He would prefer to have less attention anyway.
«You are insignificant. You think you've defeated me, but you are wrong. I can't be killed, I will be back.»
"bah! I delt with immortals before. Get in line."
I haven't played Hearts of Stone yet so I don't know if that's related to O'Dimm's dialogues, but that sounds a lot like Morkvarg :D
Imagine if you’re walking the streets of a city in cyberpunk 2077 and a child runs by singing the lyrics of the same theme and the theme starts playing very softly in the background, and you see gaunter O’Dimm for just a second standing far away, staring at you with his spoons twirling in his hands and you know you saw him, he knows who you, the player, are, who beat him the last time and then he smiles at you and the next second there’s no one there. Damn !! If that happens, I’m probably gonna crap myself knowing he’s out there !! Knowing that he’s out hunting his next victims and you can’t do anything about it either !!
God you just make my biggest fantasy right now
"You saw that dude right? With the weird clothes and wooden spoons? He said he was a merchant of mirrors, a man of glass. Yet I didn't see any mirrors or glass.. I'm not one to be spooked, but that did it V"
Take way the "beat him" part ( I let him have the soul ), and that would be soo freaking cool... and creppy as fuck. Would take that over Ciri"s cameo any moment
Holy shit that would be a spooky jumpscare
If that’s happen imma pray very hard even though I’m not really religious and I’ll try to buy as many versions of the game as possible because they made a damn good job.
when Regis was talking about another way to contact detlaff I was totally hoping that other way was odimm not the elder
I know right?
That would have been the most terrifying reunion. But O Dimm is mentioned in Blood into Wine DLC as someone who placed a curse.
SAME
It's o'Dim who finds you, not the other way. Can't see this working out.
I mean Gaunter O'Dimm is involved for the Spotted Wight's existed, there's a diary journal/Diary that even says something in the lines of "A man who sold mirrors came by", which is what Gaunter is accociated with in terms of description
Genuinely one of the best “pure evil” characters ever created
Heart of stone story is 10000% better than the main game story
Main story < b & w < HoS
the main game was not really good because of the main story, but the side quests and the vibe
Best ten bucks i ever spent.
CDPR goes above and beyond any other gaming company.
Norsie true af
I'd have paid 180$ for the entire game with expansions. Not joking, every penny would have still been worth it.
Reminds me of Morrowind or better yet, Oblivion with it's expansions. Still I think Witcher 3 tops those.
It’s funny how this DLC is ten dollars and has so much content and an incredible story and then you have all these other games charging up to 40 dollars for boring low quality dlc that has minimal effort put into it.

So, as many people already know, Gaunter's initials are basically GOD. But (at least for me) to understand the real nature of him you gotta combine this fact with his other name: Mirror Man. In Poland, at least where I come from, people often say that the devil is a complete opposite of the God - for example, in many old stories, dark magic spells are based on reciting prayers backwards. What I'm telling is that Gaunter is devil indeed - he is the mirror reflection of God, the Liar, so as it's said in our Polish folklor.
Also, God backwards is dog, and he's know as Master Mirror, so if you mirror God, you get dog, so Gaunter probably chose those initials and the mirror detail to mock God.
Red Riding Wolf Thank you for this explanation as I think it best captures the intention of CDPR and their basis in Slavic folklore.
So Gaunter is a dog?... mindblown
Well when you think about it he does tell you everything when you sign a contract so rly he isn't tricking you but you'r just being foolish thinking he won't be able to fulfill the contract by doing what olgierd did saying he will only be able to take his soul when they are on the moon. His intentions might not be great but it's your own fault for signing the contract. So why is he called the devil?
Here in Italy we always say that God is a Dog in fact... xD
If you think about it, Gaunter O'Dimm is, in a sense, more important (Not to mention powerful and evil) than the Wild Hunt.
- First introductions in White Orchard, the fact that when Geralt turns around when they finish talking, Gaunter has suddenly disappeared.
- You will pass children on your way to missions / waypoints, and the children will often be singing his song.
- He is watching you from afar in many cutscenes, perfectly blending with the background.
- In Blood And Wine, a woman has a horrible curse bestowed upon her, by a "Beggar that sold mirrors". While you tell this to the Majordomo, O'Dimm's theme song is playing.
In Thronebreakers, there is a forest with a house in the middle. If you lower the raining sound for that map, you can hear Gaunter's theme being whistled in the background by someone.
On "Whatsoever a Man Soweth" (after the professor dies) if you extinguish all the candles around the pentagram, you can hear something breathing before it abruptly stops.
- If you get the good ending, he will say something in 3 different languages, translated to:
"You are insignificant. You think you've defeated me, but you are wrong. I cant be killed. I will be back."
Gaunter was given more attention, and has always been more present than what meets the eye, and hopefully, he will come back in future games!
Mighty Tigah what if he becomes a recurring CDProject villain? Like he appears as a dlc villain in other CDP games? Would be very badass
well he is already in the Gwent game and i think he will come back in The Witcher 4
V meets a strange man who seems to know too much about him/her. When V challenges him and asks who he is... He asks V if they'd really wish to know. If they say yes, he shrugs and says ill do you a favor and not grant that wish
@@xillex819 unfortunately, CD Project confirms no more The Witcher games (at least, no more concerns to Geratl or the main characters).
@@Griever88Gryphus they confirmed a new The Witcher game,but not with Geralt. And yes a The Witcher game,not a game only in the Witcher world like Thronebreaker
Favourite video game villain ever

Our Villain: An immortal death knight with an unstoppable army that spread all four horsemen of the apocalypse across the land with an extra dosage of ice-cold death for good measure
Our Reality-Warping Cthulhu Figure Beyond The Grasp Of All Other Lifeforms: *Literally just a fucking hobo*

Had me on the first half ngl.
Haha! thank you for the laughter:)
Eredin isn't immortal though, it's just elves have much longer lifespan compared to humans
The last time i was so scared of a video game character was years ago when i first talked to Sovereign in Mass Effect.
Sovereign was WAAAAAAY more intense than Harbinger right? Or is that just me?
You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.
Yep, that's precisely what made Sovereign so damn scary and the way it was revealed. You're set up to believe that Saren is the main villain and the biggest threat and then out comes the Sovereign-conversation from nowhere and you realize what you're actually up against. IF even a fraction of what it was saying was true how the hell would anyone stand a chance against something like that? Harbinger just... didn't live up to the air around Sovereign. It's hard to put a finger on what it was, it's just no contest between them.
Harbinger was more badass, but Sovereign was more frightening.
With Sovereign the threat of the Reapers is very new and they have no idea what Shepard and friends are capable of. To Sovereign, he/she is just another organic ready to be squashed.
Harbinger is fully aware of Shepard's threat and thus treats him/her as a more personal enemy. He is not as coldly attached as Sovereign was. Hence the overall lack of menace compared to Sovereign.
Morgan Mailhiot Yes he was but I think the reason why Sovereign was more frightening was the fear of the unknown, you knew what you were getting into with Harbringer and knew "they die same as anything else!"
Blood and Wine was a much longer and vast DLC but man did I enjoy Hearts of Stone, o'Dimm was such a well done villain, mysterious, extremely powerful but still bound by his own words, could never be killed, only outsmarted at his own game. Amazing how you use Geralts strength and sword to defeat 99% of the enemies but with the greatest of them all the sword is useless, the spells and bombs have no effect, you must play by the rules and use the mind to defeat a "man" who controls time itself. Bravo CD Projekt Red...bravo.
The fact that i didn't realize that this was his theme, and heard it so many times in game really makes me wonder where else he popped up and meddled with.
Apparently, you can also find him spying on you as you do Hearts of Stone missions disguised as different NPC's.
And I can swear I saw him disguised as a pesant in Velen, then a merchant in Oxenfurt, then a Guard in Novigrad and a fisherman in Skellige. I just taught they used his face for random NPC's but after seeing what he's capable of, I'm not so sure anymore...
@@0-Templar-0please tell me it’s outside of HoS, I want to see this now!
Why do i feel like Gaunter O Dimm could destroy the entire Wild Hunt with a spoon
That's because he can.
He could wipe out out the Wild Hunt easily. Knowing what we know from the DLC, he could just Thanos Snap The Wild Hunt away
I don't think there's any limit to what O'Dimm could do, so yes, he certainly could exterminate the Wild Hunt effortlessly.
If you were not finished with the original story,you can ask him to locate siri and he either can't or doesn't want to grant you that wish.
@@MsDeathGuy considering its gaunter o'dimm we're talking about, I highly doubt he can't find ciri. Hell, he could probably teleport ciri to you and then just head on out like nothing happened.

Dragos363 where I finished the game completely
I love how the first minute or so of this track has a bit of a "business as usual" vibe. It's slightly dark but that's nothing new, makes you think of the likes of Velen. Then around 1:34 it starts going real dark. Like an incredibly evil presence has just made it self known.
One of, if not the best side quest in all of gaming history. This theme is phenomenal.

Bones Doonny Well, I saved Olgierd in order to take his badass sword, Iris.
Infinite food carried me throughout the whole game
Gaunter is perhaps the best imagined Lucifer out there. He perhaps has the power to end the world and everyone in it, but why the hell would he ever do it? He is just interested in getting souls of mortals (through tricky contracts while fiddling with their greed) and he is willing to do noble acts to keep that happening (like helping Geralt find Yennefer which helps Geralt find Ciri, which helps Ciri save the world ).
Witcher 3 base game - 10/10
Blood and Wine - 10/10
Hearts of Stone - 11/10
After The Witcher 3 any other game is so shallow.
Witcher 3 base game: 8/10 (the main story and the bosses wasnt that good)
Blood and Wine: 9/10 (they did sometimes just recycled a few old quests,but they made them better than in the base game and the story and antagonist was better too)
Hearts of Stone: 11/10 (everything is perfect there. the Quests and 3 wishes were very nice,i mean you never had them and the bosses were amazing and very hard on death march)
@@xillex819 Main story is absolutely spot on in witcher(Baron, Skellige, Crookbag bog etc.). They rushed the ending(due to time constraints) and fucked up the villian/story in the process. They initially planned to include the Nilfgaardian quests(from the camp) in the main story. Hopefully they will release a director's cut in the future.
@@vaidhyanathanc682 every game cuts its content and i barely hear of anyone releasing directors cut (never tbh)
@@xillex819 for me it's a tie between Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.. 1'st has dense, interesting, dark quest (and awesome villain), 2'nd has a beautiful fantasy setting, full of jokes, twists, and old characters from books (got a soft spot for Regis, was cool to see Anna Henrietta etc.)
Gwent 12/10
I remember when Gaunter o'Dim first showed up in this DLC, I was NOT expecting him. Then he turns out to be the Witcher universe' version of Satan...
more like Gaunter O' Dim
G O D not satan
ssuo ben No, as CDPR bases their monsters, etc. on real Slavic folklore, Gaunter O'Dimm represents the devil. It is a common Christian motif that the devil seeks to mock God in any way possible, so the acronym may be symbolic of that; there are also ideas floating that the name is a mixture of two Stephen King characters.
Mirror Gaunter O'Dim.
Mirror GOD.
So...DOG?
Meeting Gaunter O’Dimm in white orchard having never played the dlc before and knowing nothing about it when I got it for a first playthrough, I was kinda shocked that this randomly named npc knew everything about both me and Yennefer and was literally in the first tavern you ever go to. It was so surprising that someone would know this much about me, and seemingly never return. Yet when I began the dlc, low and behold, there he was again. Alas, I did not consider him a mere vagrant any longer.
This antagonist is a masterpiece himself.
CDPR Dev: I wish for the best expansion ever, one that will be talked about for ages.
O'Dimm: Ah right away, done.
CDPR Dev: Amazing! Are you sure you don't require payment good ser?
O'Dimm: Oh don't worry about that, all on good time ;-)

@@Falling_Devil sakpowski is a dickhead
The best video game villian of all time.
excuse me, villain????
But was he actually the villain? That’s the catch...
Syavich If he is described as “evil incarnate” there is a good chance he isn’t very benevolent
not a villain he only bring miss fortune apon the bad
Gaunter is exactly like the Satan in Master and Margarita- he is dark and terrible and will not hesitate to deliver judgement, even going so far as to encourage people to commit evil so he can punish it. However, he doesn’t go around committing evil for the sake of it or for his own benefit.
I recommend reading Master and Margarita, one of the greatest philosophical books of the 20th century, and you will understand to a much greater extent what Gaunter represents.
Whether you think Gaunter is good or evil probably depends on what you think represents justice. Olgierd (spelling?) is about as vile as a human can get, but at the same time he is full of regret... Does he deserve to lose his soul for his cruelty, or does his repentance excuse him from a lifetime of evil?
Interesting theory: his initials spell GoD but he's anything but holy. Alot of his etymology is more associated with the Devil. And he embodies the phrase "the devil is in the detail".
Commonly associated with glass and mirrors, what if the meaning in his name is in reverse: DoG: Devil of Glass.
Love how much discussion transpires regarding his existence.
The reason I love fandoms. You fans of creative media are awesome! 👍
Like in a mirror u se ure image reversed from right to left soo is Gaunter's name thas genius
Doggy : )
imagine you live in Witcher universe, you pray every night, for your soul and the soul of your love one, and then die only to be greeted by Gaunter...
Hybrid Spektar gaunter is the master of mirrors, he is merely a reflection of the person he is interacting with, it why he is fond of Gerald because he has very little in his heart
Goes from being a nobody you may meet in a tavern at the start of the game, to being an interesting but powerful mage-like helper to Geralt, and then as eventually revealed the apparent embodiment of evil itself who wields limitless power. The more you learn about O'Dimm the more terrifying he is. One of the best depictions of the 'Devil' I've ever seen.
In Hearts of Stone you're having SATAN as villain, how epic is that?! All in all, Hearts of Stone 10/10
The epicness really lies in the fact that he is not portrayed like the classic devil... But someone immensely more powerful, old, alien and badass!
He is classic devil, trading power for your soul.
Lambert I meant like the one, with horns, and stuff.
Tell me, would you trust a guy if he had horns and stuff xD in the end he started to take his true form, demonic form when he was defeated. His human form is just diversion to make people trust him :D:D
Or is it Gaunter O' Dimm (G O D) ???
You can actually pass by the place where you meet O'Dimm pretty early in the game and hear children singing his theme. I originally heard it during my preparation for the wild hunt fight and thought nothing of it. when I heard this afterward... well I was creeped out to hell.
I’ve never played a better written game and never will.
