Gaunter O'Dimm is the best villain, because he stalks you right at the beginning of the game, when you ask him at White Orchard for Yennefer. Then you don't encounter him directly until the DLC. And then when you complete the DLC and do Blood and Wine, you pick up references of other stuff that happened in the world because of him. The spoon Wight from the "Spoontaneous Profits!" quest in B&W was cursed by "a mirror salesman". It's just genius story telling. 3/4 of the players didn't even remember talking to him at White Orchard when HoS came out...
@@JayJay-wf2oe kinda like the bandits in Skyrim that try and mug you after slaughtering all of skyrims population and a dragon with the nickname “eater of worlds”
if you played Witcher and read all dialogues then you should have known that same questions were asked by duchess or her general ( don't remember ) and the witcher responded that neither garlic nor silver can't kill them, only other vampires, you can damage them seriously but in order to kill it's essential to be a vampire itself.
@Abu Troll al cockroachistan Not a vampire that powerful. Vampires like Dracula cannot be killed by the usual methods. There are about 13 steps that are a nightmare to go through. Maybe your standard vampire. Not an Elder or strigoi. Those things are damn hard to kill. Not even cutting his head off would finish the job.
I don't think he was afraid, agitated maybe? I know I wouldn't have been scared in that instance, he simply asked not to ask, but to speak. Simple. I think Geralt realized that the Elder could be reasoned with.
+jacobdot456 I sensed more fear than agitation though I'm referring to the initial attack when it looked the Elder was about to kill him and Geralt let out a desperate "wait..." To no avail. He would have died right there to if not for his Witcher metabolism
jacobdot456 You wouldn't be scared of a millennia old vampire who can move faster than you could blink? And who, based on what we saw with Detlaff fight, also has an even more powerful form?
***** O'Dimm may be far more powerful, but Geralt appeared to have less fear of of him. This might be because O'Dimm can be reasoned with far easier. It was only because Geralt was a witcher that he was even able to speak to the vampire, and that was after him nearly dying.
@KingCraze22 she could probably also just drop them on a dead world with no hope of ever escaping aswell. They probably don't want to risk it if they don't have too especially since 100 years is nothing for an immortal vampire
I think that option was only put to show you how stupid you are, to be thinking of ever fighting it, after everything they told you about him... I think Gerald wouldn´t dare to say that in reality
@@RussianBear42069 you gotta be out of your damn mind if you think fighting an elder vampire is a good idea, if this vampire was inspired by World of Darkness Geralt would never stand a chance against him
How amazing would it have been if the Elder suddenly turned out to be a complete pussy going " ohhh the humanity, will nobody think of the children!?".
You'd be smug too if you can stop higher vampires with just your thoughts. That dude probably can't even remember the last person that stood a chance at actually killing him.
He doesn't sound smug. He sounds like he wants to be left alone. If anything he sounds like every word he's saying comes at great pain, like Regis said.
Who actually chose the "innocent are dying" dialogue to this guy lol? This guy sees humans as food and you tell him he should care about innocent people? Lol
Humans aren't food to him. In the Witcher universe higher vampires (and I believe its safe to call this guy a higher vampire) don't need to drink blood to survive. Rather, Human blood is like alcohol to them.
@@tiffles3890 blood is a drug for them. The higher Vampires are all home sick stronger then that they all have different ways to deal with that. Detlev creating a family of lower creatures. The unseen Eldar dreaming of home. Regis before becoming friends with Geralt and co drinking blood.
Shame you can only do this quest if you don't do the fable world. Both are really interesting but fable world wins hands down for me due to all the characters you meet in there.
The only thing that bothered me about Witcher 3 was that the Wild Hunt was actually a circus compared to some of the side characters. The Crones creeped me out way more, Detlaff was a much harder foe and Gaunter O'Dimm was much more terrifying, too. And then the elder towered over them all, you just know he could wipe out entire city without much effort and it just doesn't happen because he doesn't give a shit. I think they should have skipped the whole "demasking of the Wild Hunt" part and kept them mythical figures. Things you don't know are way more scary.
I agree with you but Elder is scary but I dont think he will ever top O'dim. They are very similar in the way that they are so powerful enough to kill you before you blink. But O'dim powers go beyond physical and so he could probably teleport you to a world of suffering and make you immortal so that you can suffer for ever. O'dim can make " death is not the worst thing that can happen " a reality but the most the elder vampire could do it probably kill you. But what makes it scarier is that he doesnt do it but you know he can.
I, on the other hand, think it's perfect. The Wild Hunt is not a tremendous supernatural force, but rather something a very competent witcher with many powerful allies and the support of the world leading's superpower can kill. They aren't even close to the top of the food chain in the Witcher's multiverse. You have ancient creatures a witcher wouldn't go hunting for all the gold in the world, like higher vampires; then you have the guys the higher vampires are scared off, like the Unseen Elders. And finally you have Gaunter O'Dimm, which may as well be a god. And the Crones, which... What the fuck are the Crones anyways?
You don't realise that Eredin Bréacc Glas & The Wild Hunt were already very much established in the books and to a lesser extent in Witcher 1 & 2. So "keeping them as mythical figures" would not make any sense at all.
You know, you can actually do the fable land AND meet the Elder. Here's how: You must first tell Regis you will kill Dettlaff, and go do the whole Orianna thing up to the point she gives you the key that opens the Unseen's cave. Then, you allow Regis to persuade to try the alternative and rescue Syanna, go to fable land, fuck in the clouds etc.. You may later, by yourself locate the Elder's cave on the map and enter it, even get some parts of the red plate armor. But alas, if you enter the chamber with the Elder without Regis, he will fucking kill you. I tried sneaking past him, running in, drinking 5 vials of Black Blood, transforming into Ciri, god mode... *he will kill you*.
RUclips Hero Only a higher vampire can kill another higher vampire. I imagine the stakes are raised even higher with an elder vampire. Gaunter O'Dimm is powerful, a demon or devil of some sort I'm not sure, but I doubt he could kill him. His ability to suck out souls is limited to humans anyway.
+Spash 1098 More likely that he is "a" Satan of the Witcher universe rather than "the" Satan. I'm sure there are more powerful demons out there. Could be wrong though.
+Spash 1098 Is that an assumption, or do you actually have definitive proof that O'dimm is the only one of his kind? *There are multiple **_gods_** in the Witcher 3 universe*... why in the world would you assume there is only one kind of O'dimm Higher Demon/Devil/Elemental/? If you have some definitive proof that explicitly and absolutely states that O'dimm is even more unique than deities, then provide that evidence.
Unseen just lost his greatest chance of opening that gate. If only he knew CIri, daughter of this "no one" in front of him, could probably open the gate, at least teleport him back to his world...
Witcher 4 material. I mean there are monsters not even witcher as can deal with But ciri is a omnipotent god like being so I’m pretty sure a very pissed of elder vampire would be a good match for her. There are probably more of them somewhere. A invasion of them could be a pretty good reason to be able to play as ciri. Say 5-10 years or more after the events of the witcher 3 when she is much more experianced. Or have her helping the vampire ma get back to their realm is another worthy cause for her.
Yeah but she needs to know where she is going or take a random chance. Randomly finding the vampire world out of all of them is unlikely so she'd need to first go there before teleporting vampires. So she'd need avallach to find some door for her which he has no reason to do and may not even by able to do. If he can and will do it then they need to survive being there for long enough for ciri to teleport them out. Once she's done that then she can teleport the race at least hundreds strong, but possibly thousands, one by one to their world. That is unless the elder only cares about himself but then ciri may want to take them all anyway cos she's nice. Or she has to have a kid which would be super powerful and able to do it in one but would ruin her witcheress dreams for the next almost 20 years. I also doubt she'd want a kid after all the trauma she went through as one. So as cool as 'the witcher 4: ciri helps vampires' would be (I mean that sincerely) it doesn't seem to be possible to me, or at least in the way you suggested.
@@antonhallergren588 Uh no. Ciri's only power is being able to navigate throughout worlds. She doesnt control space/time, only uses it very well. Similar to a captain of a ship thats crossing the ocean. The captain obviously doesnt control the ocean...
@@jasoncruz19800 She would be capable of controlling space and time tho. This is stated. She just hasnt mastered her powers well enough yet. By the time of the battle of Kaer Morhen she was already capable of teleporting at will to places she knew and at this point she was regarded as an absolute amateur (and thats putting it politely) in regards of her powers.
Ah yes, one of only two enemies Geralt will never be able to conquer: -Five foot drops -Bosses with no health bars Coincidentally, we found out the Elder's weakness- Trix. I laughed when Geralt held out the glowing trix and the Elder just went dashing past like a cartoon rabbit grabbing his treat.
@@lordsoth0374 Yeah, I figured that out as well. Still doesn't cancel out the fact that Geralt has to perform a recovery roll just to not die from landing on his own two feet after only jumping from a height equivalent to a set of basketball court bleachers.
@@TheWriteFiction If he was a normal human I would even find normal that he has to roll to don't break his knees because he is old the problem is that he's a fucking witcher a mutant he even defeated a bear and a troll with his bare hands.

Despite how monstrous he is, it is difficult not to feel sympathy for the Unseen Elder's plight. The King of the Vampires reduced to a monster wearing rags and squatting in a cave, pained merely by communicating with others, not caring about the rest of the world, remaining in said cavern for many hundreds of years, waiting by the gate back to his world because he is homesick. A gate that may never even open again.
"King of the vampires" lol, he's at most an normal noble class in his world, notice how only an small number of vampires crossed over? I doubt the strongest vampires were among the small number of vampires that got unlucky, I bet the "unseen elders"(at least the 3 of them) are normal level, and the higher vampires are their servants, note how the elders can basically control them
And the only reason he's there is not due to guarding the gate, at some level the Elder understands that it will never open again, but just so he can get a few smells of air from the other side every decade or so.
The Unseen Elder at first looks evil and grumpy but after Regis explanation many people understand him better. He just wants to be with his friends and family again in his world. Its as if a human has a plane accident and is stranded somewhere in the jungle and has to live with animals.
In the part where Regis asks Geralt his motives for persuing such an almost impossible contract, if anyone has read the books, then "For you" would definitely be the appropriate answer, since Regis practically died for Geralt at trying to defeat Vylgefortz. Geralt is just paying a big favor for a long (almost) lost friend.
True. Funnily, this also means the ending where Dettlaf kills Syanna and Geralt lets him go is not the worst one, because it's the only one where Regis is not forced to fight and kill his friend and the only one where he leaves Toussant by his own volition.
@@CGZollars Regarding the angle Geralt is choosing in this playthru it is the most fitting answer. It is likely that they will not convince detlaff once he is summoned without Syanna and the will have to fight and kill him. Something Regis absolutely has no desire to do. So, it is not really (or only) to help his friend. It is again that geralt wants to be a Hero. Something the cynic he has become can´´t admit. He does not want glory anymore. He wants to do the right thing and does not see himself as a hero(something that does not exist in his worldview anymore)
I love that they made Geralt completely helpless against him. Kinda brings him down to a believable level instead of making him an unstoppable hero who can solve the problem every time.
@Dankina , the only way to defeat unseen Elder is with the help of Gaunter O'Dimm. But then Geralt owes Gaunter a service again to fullfill wishes so that Gaunter is able to take a poor persons soul.
The Unseen Elder is one of my favorite characters. He is in the game for so little time yet they managed to give him so much nuance for his motives and personality. They obviously love their lore and it's awesome. Regis will ALWAYS be my favorite character from the series, but I really do love the Unseen and Detlaff as well.
1:31 when a bandit in skyrim yells "YOU WON'T LEAVE HERE ALIVE!!!!" To your level 50+ Vampire Lord who happens to be be the Dragonborn, Killer of the Emperor, Harbinger of the companions and master of the Theives Guild.
I love that little giggle after Geralt says he’d rather not hurt the Elder. It’s as if he’s talking to a small child instead of one of the most proficient monster killers in the world.
I'm interested about the other Elders how they are,because Regis said that you can speak with them,but with this elder..the words he speaks seems to make him pain by every word
@@Salvadorzin1 i think you find them in other countries like every elder owns teritory at some place . This guy owns tousant another owns maybe nilfgard
It really felt like Geralt was at the mercy of The Elder. Heart of Stone was even more brutal since you’re literally dealing with some sort of God/Devil. This game is such a masterpiece.
15:24 I love Regis' gate analogy. His description resonates with me, especialy when I visit ancient and historical places which where the focal point of powerful and/or emotional events (good or bad). The people and the specific time of this event are long gone, like a door sealed shut, yet standing in these places (especial when you're alone and are not subjected to external distractions); I honestly do sometimes feel the "dust" comming through the cracks... It's very subtle, but it's there.
In the books, Jaskier/Dandelion asked Geralt if he could kill Regis if he had to (they just guessed who he really was). Geralt said "most likely not..." It tells a lot about the possible power of such Elder Vampire feared by Regis.
These people who compared O'Dimm to Elder literally have no idea what the difference is in power level, he is evil incarnate. He can just think of sending elder vampire into his realm and be attached to some table with torture devices operating on their own for endless torment. He can do ALMOST anything. He is beyond what any vampire/human/monster or whatever exists can even imagine. As he said it himself, those who found out what he really is are dead or even worse then dead. Nothing so far compares to his power. Even if elder keeps slicing him to bits and peaces while he stands still, he would just appear behind him unharmed and laugh at him, just before sending him into a endless nightmare (for example). Nobody that we know of so far can hurt O'Dimm, he can only be banished if you beat him in his own game, if you attempt to fight him, you are done, or even worse then done. You need to learn how to spot different power levels, and what you can compare to what.
Denam No he can do whatever he wants,he is literally the god of the witcher universe.For those who say that he didn't kniw about ciri's wherabouts should watch that last piece of dialogue between him and geralt a handful of times to finally realize what he was meaning by that. If he truly didn't know where she was,how come he gives geralt the exact recomended information necessary to save her from her death.That means thayt he knows what the future really holds and he's just making matters hard for geralt.After all,for o'dimm delivering all the answers to geralt would be anti-climactic and not so fun for him to enjoy.
Thing is..he could have indeed done something in return for the Unseen...he could've promised to bring Ciri to him, who could've then used her power to travel to the Unseen's world, basically bringing him back to the home he sorely misses.. I think he would've left that cave and gone to kill Dettlaff himself in a second, under that promise.
well ciri can accidentally go to other worlds shes never seen but not specific ones on purpose. Still, she probably could work with the elder to bring him home. When they talk about how hard it is for the mmonsters to live here and how it physically pains the elder and he lives there just for a scent of home, hoping to get back. its really sad
would he belive him though? "my daughter can travel to other worlds, she can take you home" "and i'm secretly the king of tousaint - what do you take me for human? now *die*" attempt 2: bring proof of some kind ciri shows up with some otherworldly being, or even Regis to vouch for her elder: very well, i shall see if this is true of her abiltiies *ciri tries to take him to his home, but dosent know how to control her powers, accidently takes him to the same place she spent the last few years hiding from the wild hunt* "well....now you die and i rest in a new place until the gate opens once more" *kills ciri* attempt 3: trying ciri again "very well, i belive you. now take me to my home or all of you will die...except you, regis, *sleep* after that ciri would either take him to his home or he would kill the lot of them except regis who would now sleep down there with him until the gate opens again - wether ciri or geralt would take him up on his threat and send him home or try to bargain "no, thats not the agreement, deal with detlaff first" the eldar made it clear he thinks of none-vampires the same as rats "i do not negotiate with cattle or swine"
@@nickreynoso1329but there was a portal there once that would let out a faint scent of home every so often. Which is why the Elder lives there. In theory Ciri's blood could reawaken the portal long enough to pop the Elder through.
Soon as I saw the speed on that guy, I knew there was no way in hell any kind of human was going to kill that. He wasn’t just moving fast enough to make it look like teleportation, he was moving so smoothly that he didn’t even disturb the air in his passing. That’s way beyond anyone’s level.
The panning out accentuating his presence in that cave, the lone guard to the most important thing of their culture. It really speaks volumes about his power.
@ Or just converse with the Elder with no other motive than to talk? I mean, O' Dimm is exciting and all, but he can't just always be running around left and right, taking souls.. Right?
@ Still a better answer than all of these Know It All's, who just yell "Gaunter O' Dimm is god because of his initials and his power is unlimited". Haha
O dimm: Soooo.. would you like to make a dea- Elder: gods! For the last time no more questions!! How many of your infernal spoons must I throw away before you'll leave me peace?!? O dimm: oh I don't know, how many do you think it will take? Elder: .... I should have taken that favour from the Witcher. O dimm: you know geralt too? Elder: *steals spoon and throws it deeper into cave
Damn I feel terrible for Regis right about now. I know what that place Geralt described would be for me (in fact I'm headed there tomorrow morning... wonderful) and I know that I would go mad within the day if I had to stay there for more then just a few hours. For him to live out his life at that place (which is probably an eternity) and still retaining his full sanity is commendable.
The dialogues are so impressive in TW3, cannot descripe it so well... it is so well done, like two real people talking. Not just voice actors in separate rooms reading a text, more like they did this always together, see their reactions, and they really know what and how they have to talk. Its a bit weird, but i feel often a warm feeling in my chest, because in many conversations i hear and feel a believable sympathy when a person likes Gerald or/and is thankful for his help. This gives me as a player a positive feeling, that i have done somenthing good, i helped someone. I hope my poor english is enough to understand what fascinates me :)
I can safely say that this was the only time I felt scared for Geralt. I had chills running up my spine and an increased heart rate. The upside-down cave was intriguing. I'd like to spend more time there, if and only if, the Unseen Elder went on a long holiday to Kovir or Poviss.
O'Dimm is basically the Witcher world's version of the devil. There is no defeating him except through games of counter-treachery. As badass as this elder vampire is, he wouldn't stand a chance against Gaunter O'Dimm
We cant say anything about both of them.O'dimm might be just some powerfull demon that would explain why he loves human emotions and never cheats.He is barely evil he never cheat never lies and never uses his powers without contracts so he obviously not the devil.Also he said he cant find ciri since his powers has limits.Demons also close to immortal if not completely immortall.
Fun facts: Gaunter O'Dimm => GOD. Also the character is inspired from Randall Flagg (aka Walter O'Dimm, aka The Man in Black) from Stephen King's Dark Tower books (and also The Stand, and some others in King's meta universe), and Leland Gaunt from Needful Things, who is admittedly just another incarnation of Walter O'Dimm's meta character in King's book. It's the trickster god / crossroads demon archetype. The "Devil Came Down to Georgia" poker playing god.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the voice actor of the Unseen Elder? Jesus, his voice is so effective and terrifying I don't even use his skin as a leader in Gwent the Witcher card game.
It's crazy what a reversal of my expectations at that fork in the story wound up being. I thought the Unseen would be badass and impressive (the gate was really cool though) and helping Syanna would be a lame jail break. Regis gave me a second chance at getting Syanna and I'm so damn glad I took it over meeting with this dude. Learning more about the vampires was really cool but Fairy Tale world was so so much fun.
A tiny extra bit of dialogue occurs if you asked about the gate where Geralt includes it in convincing the Unseen Elder to help. "Destroy the gate beyond repair."
The best thing to do is :go to Orianna,help with the orphanage and then change your mind and seek syanna..Profits are: 1. more xp 2. more playtime and missions 3. more looting 4.tousaint armor + vitis sword 5.gesheft sword . 6.hengaidth sword +1 more hen gaidth part(if u go into the cave of unseen elder after the end of blood n wine)
Am I the only one who completely skipped this part by accident because the city was under attack and the quest basically wanted you to get to fantasyland as soon as possible?
This quest reminds me of the daedric princes in the Elder Scrolls Games where this god-like beings could kill anyone with the blink of an eye, are pratticly immortal and the only way to survive them is trick them (like Gauntier O Dimm), make them fight each other using their power struggle (ESO Meridia vs Molag Bal), or with a great sacrifice ES IV Oblivion Martin Menhures Dagon. "But I fear that he will return those like him always returs" The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt dlc Hearts of Stone final entry for the character Master Mirror
This is one of those characters that you WISH had much more story to them but it’s also one that they never would give you the opportunity to fight because there’s no chance you’d beat them…..they’re just that strong….Geralt was even scared too and THATS scary😂
Do not repeat the things seen in this video at home, they're only possible through the magic of video editing ;] Anyway... that gate between words thing... pretty cool, with the gravity bleeding or w/e is happening
is it possible to rescue syanna after going to see the unseen elder? I want to be able to do this quest (cause its cool) but i also want to explore the fairy tale land. Is it one or the other or can i do both?
yes, when you speak with the Unseen Elder, you are only allowed to make one mistake, after that he will kill you, i find that cool :) , here in the video, the witcher makes as many mistakes as he wants with the Unseen Elder
Black blood just makes ur blood toxic like acid but it won't make u smile invincible it will still hurt or kill u if they drink more blood, plus I doubt a high up vampire can die from a little black blood
Thabks for asking this, it was driving me mad how no one thought or asked about the black bloods effect on the scene, considering the detail projektcd put into the game, its odd they didnt consider the another outcome with the blackblood
This is the only time you’ve seen Geralt show true fear. The Wild Hunt nor O’Dimm made him this afraid; this was an opponent he knew he could not beat.
There is a quest in Skellige where you and a group of warriors face your deepest fears. It would be pretty neat if, once the main story is over, Geralt's fear would change based on the DLC. Gerald was visibly unsettled by O'Dimm, the fact that he had absolutely no idea what he is or how he could fight back if needed. The Unseen Elder, well, at least Geralt knows what the fuck he is, what he can do, and that, if shit hits the fan, he either flees or it is no longer his problem
I'm late but Geralt fears O Dimm too. If you let O Dimm take Olgierds soul and starts walking away whistling you can clearly see Geralt backing off with slight but noticable fear in his face.
Krishna N Acharya Sure he feared him but I’m of the opinion that Geralt believed that he could mount SOME kind of fight against O’Dimm if he had to, no matter how feeble. I think that if he thought he had to kill the elder and the elder wanted him dead, he didn’t have much hope that the old tricks would work that well. Either way, both of them were far more terrifying and intimidating villains than the Wild Hunt will ever be.
It must be a certain kind of torture for the Elder Vampire to be in that cave, getting a smell or taste of the vampire home world knowing they'll never be able to go back.
I really hope if there’s a chance for Geralt and Ciri trying to help the vampires return to their world. I mean it seems like most of the higher vampires that’s still alive are pretty much too sad and longing for home that their existence start to become meaningless for them.
Definitely one of my top five missions in the entire game. The sheer intensity and mystique that the Unseen Elder brought to the game gave me the goosebumps like few others did. Right up there in the league of Gaunter and the Ladies. *SPOILER* Too bad this leads to the worst ending of the three. The fairytale path was refreshing and a great concept and fun to play. Not to mention the little bonus at the end. But this... this is just pure badassery.
I love how the game naturally shows you that there are things that are indeed out of your league. This guy, for example, that's the only place in the game where your ass will be instantly killed without even battle music could begin if you try to proceed ASKING THE DAMN QUESTIONS
The scene: Geralt comes face to face with an ancient and terrifying vampire elder, who wields unimaginable power. The music: oh what a fine spring morning!
i was just wondering bout this maybe u guys have an answer coz i havent read the book, im doing a research about these higher vampires of witcher 3. i heard geralt mention during the ride to castell ravelo with the duchess, that a man maybe a witcher managed to defeat a higher vampire before, but was not able to kill it. aside from that, regis mentioned about the cage in tesham mutna which is composed of special alloy. ( "" The cage was made of silver, dalvinite, and meteorite steel """ ) seems that the cage is able to prevent vampires from turning into mist and is also able to withstand the brute force of higher vampires. geralt mentioned that the cage seems to be crumbling already but its still able to restraint regis during his blood lust. ( to my thinking the alloy renders them weak that they cant break it ) another thing thats interesting, there are these mysterious armors and sword that is found in tesham mutna. i was just wondering, are these armor and sword made from the same alloy? are these anti vampire armors? in the game it was never mentioned specifically but maybe you guys know more.
@@jakelappin7969 "MegAThrust vecino the guy who killed a higher vampire was a really powerful mage from a previous game. He blasted Regis to pieces" Er... No. Not from a previous GAME, if you know what I mean. I don't know how to explain that without spoiling anything...
I see so many people triggered by how overpowered the Unseen Elder is... I'm probably one of the few who don't have anything against it and just find it quite interesting. It's an ANCIENT creature, of an incredibly powerful race, an alpha of all vampires of this land, as well as if he seems too OP - then for the Witcher world which he isn't from. We don't know much about THEIR world and how many other powerful creatures might live there. People are being annoyed as if the Elder took part in everything we get involved in and messed with everything. He's just sitting in the cave, not wanting to be bothered, waiting for a chance to return to his world. While an equally dangerous creature, O'Dim, gets involved into way too many events.
Let's face it: the Crones, Gaunter o' Dimm, Detlaff and The Unseen Elder Vampire were more fearsome than the whole Wild Hunt.
Gerard Ferrer bcs they turned out to be elves
O dimm is the best villian hands down
"Turned out to be elves"
That was never a secret
Wild hunt would wreck the crones
very true, especially Gaunter that guy was giving me nightmares, one of if not THE best villian in history of games.
Gaunter O'Dimm is the best villain, because he stalks you right at the beginning of the game, when you ask him at White Orchard for Yennefer. Then you don't encounter him directly until the DLC. And then when you complete the DLC and do Blood and Wine, you pick up references of other stuff that happened in the world because of him.

Unseen Elder: *freezes* Regis with one word.
Geralt: "Rather not hurt you"
yeah :D Wishful thinking
The ignorance of Vikings!
It's the same as the 3 bandits who believed that they could take on someone who just slashed a wyvern to its demise effortlessly.

@Abu Troll al cockroachistan lol liked just for that awesome name. Made my day
Bro, this dude was really powerful
I think this is one of the only times Geralt is actually afraid. Scary
I don't think he was afraid, agitated maybe? I know I wouldn't have been scared in that instance, he simply asked not to ask, but to speak. Simple. I think Geralt realized that the Elder could be reasoned with.
+jacobdot456 I sensed more fear than agitation though I'm referring to the initial attack when it looked the Elder was about to kill him and Geralt let out a desperate "wait..." To no avail. He would have died right there to if not for his Witcher metabolism
jacobdot456
You wouldn't be scared of a millennia old vampire who can move faster than you could blink? And who, based on what we saw with Detlaff fight, also has an even more powerful form?
***** O'Dimm may be far more powerful, but Geralt appeared to have less fear of of him. This might be because O'Dimm can be reasoned with far easier. It was only because Geralt was a witcher that he was even able to speak to the vampire, and that was after him nearly dying.
speaking of Gaunter, who is he exactly, a powerful demon or the devil?
Regis is a good dude

Regis is one of the most philosophical and sympathetic characters I've ever seen he's written so well.
Apart from being a great character..
He has immense potential to make a whole damn show series or a game series.
In the books Yennefer asks Geralt who he was and Geralt answers with the likes of the most human being of all
"Innocents are dying" to this guy lol
How amazing would it have been if the Elder suddenly turned out to be a complete pussy going " ohhh the humanity, will nobody think of the children!?".
Cero Ashura now if it were vampire children then he might act,but anything else just gets on his everlasting nerves
That was a stupid choice in deed
Lolololol
Ketevan is only to show he speaking more

You'd be smug too if you can stop higher vampires with just your thoughts. That dude probably can't even remember the last person that stood a chance at actually killing him.
Well atleast you are right fit for a Witcher
He doesn't sound smug. He sounds like he wants to be left alone. If anything he sounds like every word he's saying comes at great pain, like Regis said.
Doesn't have to kill anyone to approach him.. if he's really that powerful just take them out of the cave
People are assholes. If he only takes them out of the cave, they will keep coming back.. Death is the only solution for his solitude.

Shame you can only do this quest if you don't do the fable world. Both are really interesting but fable world wins hands down for me due to all the characters you meet in there.
I too chose to go to the land of thousand fables ;)
Aniket Maurya Same, I think it is a better quest but a shame you miss the elder
BeautyIsJustAMask yeah and by going to fable land I saved both sisters and killed Detlaff whereas I now think Syanna deserved to die.
+Aniket Maurya huh when I went to the fable land both died.
+Aniket Maurya huh when I went to the fable land both died.
The only thing that bothered me about Witcher 3 was that the Wild Hunt was actually a circus compared to some of the side characters. The Crones creeped me out way more, Detlaff was a much harder foe and Gaunter O'Dimm was much more terrifying, too. And then the elder towered over them all, you just know he could wipe out entire city without much effort and it just doesn't happen because he doesn't give a shit.
I think they should have skipped the whole "demasking of the Wild Hunt" part and kept them mythical figures. Things you don't know are way more scary.
fair enough
I agree with you but Elder is scary but I dont think he will ever top O'dim.
They are very similar in the way that they are so powerful enough to kill you before you blink. But O'dim powers go beyond physical and so he could probably teleport you to a world of suffering and make you immortal so that you can suffer for ever. O'dim can make " death is not the worst thing that can happen " a reality but the most the elder vampire could do it probably kill you. But what makes it scarier is that he doesnt do it but you know he can.
TRUEEEEE
I, on the other hand, think it's perfect. The Wild Hunt is not a tremendous supernatural force, but rather something a very competent witcher with many powerful allies and the support of the world leading's superpower can kill. They aren't even close to the top of the food chain in the Witcher's multiverse. You have ancient creatures a witcher wouldn't go hunting for all the gold in the world, like higher vampires; then you have the guys the higher vampires are scared off, like the Unseen Elders. And finally you have Gaunter O'Dimm, which may as well be a god. And the Crones, which... What the fuck are the Crones anyways?
You don't realise that Eredin Bréacc Glas & The Wild Hunt were already very much established in the books and to a lesser extent in Witcher 1 & 2. So "keeping them as mythical figures" would not make any sense at all.
Geralt: "rather not hurt you"
Elder probably found it such a good joke that he didn't killed him right away
I love that the Unseen Elder gargled Geralt's own blood back at him
You know, you can actually do the fable land AND meet the Elder. Here's how:
You must first tell Regis you will kill Dettlaff, and go do the whole Orianna thing up to the point she gives you the key that opens the Unseen's cave.
Then, you allow Regis to persuade to try the alternative and rescue Syanna, go to fable land, fuck in the clouds etc.. You may later, by yourself locate the Elder's cave on the map and enter it, even get some parts of the red plate armor. But alas, if you enter the chamber with the Elder without Regis, he will fucking kill you. I tried sneaking past him, running in, drinking 5 vials of Black Blood, transforming into Ciri, god mode... *he will kill you*.
God mode ain't shit against the Unseen Elder.
Not even hacking in G O'D in there will save you. What a savage fuck.
Gaunter would bite his Apple and the Elder would incinerate lol
RUclips Hero Only a higher vampire can kill another higher vampire. I imagine the stakes are raised even higher with an elder vampire. Gaunter O'Dimm is powerful, a demon or devil of some sort I'm not sure, but I doubt he could kill him. His ability to suck out souls is limited to humans anyway.
+Spash 1098 More likely that he is "a" Satan of the Witcher universe rather than "the" Satan. I'm sure there are more powerful demons out there. Could be wrong though.
+Spash 1098
Is that an assumption, or do you actually have definitive proof that O'dimm is the only one of his kind?
*There are multiple **_gods_** in the Witcher 3 universe*... why in the world would you assume there is only one kind of O'dimm Higher Demon/Devil/Elemental/?
If you have some definitive proof that explicitly and absolutely states that O'dimm is even more unique than deities, then provide that evidence.
Unseen just lost his greatest chance of opening that gate.
If only he knew CIri, daughter of this "no one" in front of him, could probably open the gate, at least teleport him back to his world...
Witcher 4 material. I mean there are monsters not even witcher as can deal with But ciri is a omnipotent god like being so I’m pretty sure a very pissed of elder vampire would be a good match for her. There are probably more of them somewhere. A invasion of them could be a pretty good reason to be able to play as ciri. Say 5-10 years or more after the events of the witcher 3 when she is much more experianced. Or have her helping the vampire ma get back to their realm is another worthy cause for her.
Yeah but she needs to know where she is going or take a random chance. Randomly finding the vampire world out of all of them is unlikely so she'd need to first go there before teleporting vampires.
So she'd need avallach to find some door for her which he has no reason to do and may not even by able to do. If he can and will do it then they need to survive being there for
long enough for ciri to teleport them out.
Once she's done that then she can teleport the race at least hundreds strong, but possibly thousands, one by one to their world. That is unless the elder only cares about himself but then ciri may want to take them all anyway cos she's nice.
Or she has to have a kid which would be super powerful and able to do it in one but would ruin her witcheress dreams for the next almost 20 years.
I also doubt she'd want a kid after all the trauma she went through as one.
So as cool as 'the witcher 4: ciri helps vampires' would be (I mean that sincerely) it doesn't seem to be possible to me, or at least in the way you suggested.
@@antonhallergren588 Uh no. Ciri's only power is being able to navigate throughout worlds. She doesnt control space/time, only uses it very well. Similar to a captain of a ship thats crossing the ocean. The captain obviously doesnt control the ocean...

Ah yes, one of only two enemies Geralt will never be able to conquer:
-Five foot drops
-Bosses with no health bars
Coincidentally, we found out the Elder's weakness- Trix. I laughed when Geralt held out the glowing trix and the Elder just went dashing past like a cartoon rabbit grabbing his treat.

Despite how monstrous he is, it is difficult not to feel sympathy for the Unseen Elder's plight. The King of the Vampires reduced to a monster wearing rags and squatting in a cave, pained merely by communicating with others, not caring about the rest of the world, remaining in said cavern for many hundreds of years, waiting by the gate back to his world because he is homesick. A gate that may never even open again.
"King of the vampires" lol, he's at most an normal noble class in his world, notice how only an small number of vampires crossed over? I doubt the strongest vampires were among the small number of vampires that got unlucky, I bet the "unseen elders"(at least the 3 of them) are normal level, and the higher vampires are their servants, note how the elders can basically control them
And the only reason he's there is not due to guarding the gate, at some level the Elder understands that it will never open again, but just so he can get a few smells of air from the other side every decade or so.
The Unseen Elder at first looks evil and grumpy but after Regis explanation many people understand him better. He just wants to be with his friends and family again in his world. Its as if a human has a plane accident and is stranded somewhere in the jungle and has to live with animals.
Not even regular animals, but just ants and roaches...
@@ElBanditoit’d be nice to hang around dogs, cats, and wolves, but ants? Only good for occasional viewing and squishing.
Regis really was grossly understating the situation when he said that meeting the Unseen vampire would be dangerous...
indeed
That part where Regis asked you, "Why stay and risk your hide?". The "For you" option is better IMO since Regis becomes sentimental with his response.
Wish I could see it
Yep. This guy is douchebag for chosing the other option. Regis sacrificed a lot for Geralt sake and he wont aknowledge that
I asked the Unseen two questions and I insta died lmao.
cuz he said .. I hate question .. so u must ask only 1 question ! anyway .. u will die many times if u instant to answer your questions x)

Elves on steroids
The worst was not Eredin, but Caranthir, the mage -_-
luckily he had a glitch and was stuck so i could kill him without loosing any health lol
And to think that even this monster could do nothing agains Master Mirror....
In the part where Regis asks Geralt his motives for persuing such an almost impossible contract, if anyone has read the books, then "For you" would definitely be the appropriate answer, since Regis practically died for Geralt at trying to defeat Vylgefortz. Geralt is just paying a big favor for a long (almost) lost friend.
True. Funnily, this also means the ending where Dettlaf kills Syanna and Geralt lets him go is not the worst one, because it's the only one where Regis is not forced to fight and kill his friend and the only one where he leaves Toussant by his own volition.
I was waiting for the player to chose “for you” and then just said “idunno” 😑
@@CGZollars Regarding the angle Geralt is choosing in this playthru it is the most fitting answer. It is likely that they will not convince detlaff once he is summoned without Syanna and the will have to fight and kill him. Something Regis absolutely has no desire to do. So, it is not really (or only) to help his friend. It is again that geralt wants to be a Hero. Something the cynic he has become can´´t admit. He does not want glory anymore. He wants to do the right thing and does not see himself as a hero(something that does not exist in his worldview anymore)
I love that they made Geralt completely helpless against him. Kinda brings him down to a believable level instead of making him an unstoppable hero who can solve the problem every time.
I am sure there is a way to defeat the unseen elder, maybe Geralt doesn't k ow about it
@Dankina , the only way to defeat unseen Elder is with the help of Gaunter O'Dimm. But then Geralt owes Gaunter a service again to fullfill wishes so that Gaunter is able to take a poor persons soul.

It really felt like Geralt was at the mercy of The Elder. Heart of Stone was even more brutal since you’re literally dealing with some sort of God/Devil. This game is such a masterpiece.
15:24 I love Regis' gate analogy. His description resonates with me, especialy when I visit ancient and historical places which where the focal point of powerful and/or emotional events (good or bad). The people and the specific time of this event are long gone, like a door sealed shut, yet standing in these places (especial when you're alone and are not subjected to external distractions); I honestly do sometimes feel the "dust" comming through the cracks... It's very subtle, but it's there.
Whomever wrote Regis' character (as portrayed in the game, I've not gotten around the books yet) should be very interesting to have a talk with.
In the books, Jaskier/Dandelion asked Geralt if he could kill Regis if he had to (they just guessed who he really was). Geralt said "most likely not..."
It tells a lot about the possible power of such Elder Vampire feared by Regis.
These people who compared O'Dimm to Elder literally have no idea what the difference is in power level, he is evil incarnate. He can just think of sending elder vampire into his realm and be attached to some table with torture devices operating on their own for endless torment. He can do ALMOST anything. He is beyond what any vampire/human/monster or whatever exists can even imagine. As he said it himself, those who found out what he really is are dead or even worse then dead. Nothing so far compares to his power. Even if elder keeps slicing him to bits and peaces while he stands still, he would just appear behind him unharmed and laugh at him, just before sending him into a endless nightmare (for example). Nobody that we know of so far can hurt O'Dimm, he can only be banished if you beat him in his own game, if you attempt to fight him, you are done, or even worse then done. You need to learn how to spot different power levels, and what you can compare to what.
Exactly, you can't fight a non physical thing.
O'dimm can torture ghosts at his whimm lol, Vampires aren't any different to him i bet.
Not really, he can't meddle with fate.
Jtrato Gietzsche Learn grammar?Lol
Denam No he can do whatever he wants,he is literally the god of the witcher universe.For those who say that he didn't kniw about ciri's wherabouts should watch that last piece of dialogue between him and geralt a handful of times to finally realize what he was meaning by that.
If he truly didn't know where she was,how come he gives geralt the exact recomended information necessary to save her from her death.That means thayt he knows what the future really holds and he's just making matters hard for geralt.After all,for o'dimm delivering all the answers to geralt would be anti-climactic and not so fun for him to enjoy.
Thing is..he could have indeed done something in return for the Unseen...he could've promised to bring Ciri to him, who could've then used her power to travel to the Unseen's world, basically bringing him back to the home he sorely misses..
I think he would've left that cave and gone to kill Dettlaff himself in a second, under that promise.
well ciri can accidentally go to other worlds shes never seen but not specific ones on purpose. Still, she probably could work with the elder to bring him home. When they talk about how hard it is for the mmonsters to live here and how it physically pains the elder and he lives there just for a scent of home, hoping to get back. its really sad
would he belive him though?
"my daughter can travel to other worlds, she can take you home"
"and i'm secretly the king of tousaint - what do you take me for human? now *die*"
attempt 2: bring proof of some kind
ciri shows up with some otherworldly being, or even Regis to vouch for her
elder: very well, i shall see if this is true of her abiltiies
*ciri tries to take him to his home, but dosent know how to control her powers, accidently takes him to the same place she spent the last few years hiding from the wild hunt*
"well....now you die and i rest in a new place until the gate opens once more" *kills ciri*
attempt 3: trying ciri again
"very well, i belive you. now take me to my home or all of you will die...except you, regis, *sleep*
after that ciri would either take him to his home or he would kill the lot of them except regis who would now sleep down there with him until the gate opens again - wether ciri or geralt would take him up on his threat and send him home or try to bargain "no, thats not the agreement, deal with detlaff first" the eldar made it clear he thinks of none-vampires the same as rats
"i do not negotiate with cattle or swine"
He would have sucked ciri dry the moment he knew about her
@@nickreynoso1329but there was a portal there once that would let out a faint scent of home every so often. Which is why the Elder lives there. In theory Ciri's blood could reawaken the portal long enough to pop the Elder through.
He’d probably still kill them all anyway just for bothering him
When he tells Geralt that he's nothing... damn
Some of you guys are exactly like the people Geralt was talking about lol Can't you just let an elder vampire afk in peace
Soon as I saw the speed on that guy, I knew there was no way in hell any kind of human was going to kill that. He wasn’t just moving fast enough to make it look like teleportation, he was moving so smoothly that he didn’t even disturb the air in his passing. That’s way beyond anyone’s level.
This game improves my vocabulary every time i play it !
indeed I know the feeling
For some reason I kinda respect him, don't bother him and you won't have problems. Fuck with him, blink and it will be the last

I'd like to see a dialogue between Gaunter O'Dim and the unseen elder
@ Or just converse with the Elder with no other motive than to talk? I mean, O' Dimm is exciting and all, but he can't just always be running around left and right, taking souls.. Right?
@ Still a better answer than all of these Know It All's, who just yell "Gaunter O' Dimm is god because of his initials and his power is unlimited". Haha
O dimm: Soooo.. would you like to make a dea-
Elder: gods! For the last time no more questions!! How many of your infernal spoons must I throw away before you'll leave me peace?!?
O dimm: oh I don't know, how many do you think it will take?
Elder: .... I should have taken that favour from the Witcher.
O dimm: you know geralt too?
Elder: *steals spoon and throws it deeper into cave
O'dimm keeps talking ad infinitum while the elder bangs his head on rocks
Damn I feel terrible for Regis right about now. I know what that place Geralt described would be for me (in fact I'm headed there tomorrow morning... wonderful) and I know that I would go mad within the day if I had to stay there for more then just a few hours.
For him to live out his life at that place (which is probably an eternity) and still retaining his full sanity is commendable.
The dialogues are so impressive in TW3, cannot descripe it so well... it is so well done, like two real people talking. Not just voice actors in separate rooms reading a text, more like they did this always together, see their reactions, and they really know what and how they have to talk. Its a bit weird, but i feel often a warm feeling in my chest, because in many conversations i hear and feel a believable sympathy when a person likes Gerald or/and is thankful for his help. This gives me as a player a positive feeling, that i have done somenthing good, i helped someone. I hope my poor english is enough to understand what fascinates me :)
indeed
I can safely say that this was the only time I felt scared for Geralt. I had chills running up my spine and an increased heart rate.
The upside-down cave was intriguing. I'd like to spend more time there, if and only if, the Unseen Elder went on a long holiday to Kovir or Poviss.
Don't forget he can sense you when you are somewhere else so... Doesn't matter if he's home or not.
O'Dimm is basically the Witcher world's version of the devil.
There is no defeating him except through games of counter-treachery.
As badass as this elder vampire is, he wouldn't stand a chance against Gaunter O'Dimm
We cant say anything about both of them.O'dimm might be just some powerfull demon that would explain why he loves human emotions and never cheats.He is barely evil he never cheat never lies and never uses his powers without contracts so he obviously not the devil.Also he said he cant find ciri since his powers has limits.Demons also close to immortal if not completely immortall.
Doga Kupa he drove a socket through a poor fella's eye just for interrupting him. so yeah he can harm without having a contract/good reason
But among those having a physical entity,
The unseen elder is the strongest+fastest.
+Sara Anbarestani You are most welcome
Fun facts: Gaunter O'Dimm => GOD. Also the character is inspired from Randall Flagg (aka Walter O'Dimm, aka The Man in Black) from Stephen King's Dark Tower books (and also The Stand, and some others in King's meta universe), and Leland Gaunt from Needful Things, who is admittedly just another incarnation of Walter O'Dimm's meta character in King's book. It's the trickster god / crossroads demon archetype. The "Devil Came Down to Georgia" poker playing god.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the voice actor of the Unseen Elder? Jesus, his voice is so effective and terrifying I don't even use his skin as a leader in Gwent the Witcher card game.
yeah voice acting in general is top notch
As a character like Geralt it takes brass balls to handle that situation.
It's crazy what a reversal of my expectations at that fork in the story wound up being. I thought the Unseen would be badass and impressive (the gate was really cool though) and helping Syanna would be a lame jail break. Regis gave me a second chance at getting Syanna and I'm so damn glad I took it over meeting with this dude. Learning more about the vampires was really cool but Fairy Tale world was so so much fun.
A tiny extra bit of dialogue occurs if you asked about the gate where Geralt includes it in convincing the Unseen Elder to help. "Destroy the gate beyond repair."

1. more xp 2. more playtime and missions 3. more looting 4.tousaint armor + vitis sword 5.gesheft sword . 6.hengaidth sword +1 more hen gaidth part(if u go into the cave of unseen elder after the end of blood n wine)
Εγω αυτο εκανα αλλα δεν εκανα αυτο με την Orianna. Τωρα που θα το ξαναπαιξω θα το κανω.
Am I the only one who completely skipped this part by accident because the city was under attack and the quest basically wanted you to get to fantasyland as soon as possible?
Well, you either do this or that
i like regis' voice
me too, could be my favorite from the entire game ;]
On my playthrough it was like:
Geralt: *Asks 2 questions*
Unseen Elder: Omae wa mou shindeiru
Geralt: Nani?!
💀 YOU ARE DEAD 💀
Lol this unseen elder guy is an extreme introvert, "interacting with others, it seems it causes him physical pain"
LOL that calm Toussaint music in the background though
This quest reminds me of the daedric princes in the Elder Scrolls Games where this god-like beings could kill anyone with the blink of an eye, are pratticly immortal and the only way to survive them is trick them (like Gauntier O Dimm), make them fight each other using their power struggle (ESO Meridia vs Molag Bal), or with a great sacrifice ES IV Oblivion Martin Menhures Dagon. "But I fear that he will return those like him always returs" The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt dlc Hearts of Stone final entry for the character Master Mirror
"Innocents are dying" - major lol
This is one of those characters that you WISH had much more story to them but it’s also one that they never would give you the opportunity to fight because there’s no chance you’d beat them…..they’re just that strong….Geralt was even scared too and THATS scary😂
4:01 why i love geralt he's mild amusement and curiosity in his voice...
Do not repeat the things seen in this video at home, they're only possible through the magic of video editing ;]
Anyway... that gate between words thing... pretty cool, with the gravity bleeding or w/e is happening
it's darth sidious
more like Dracula, in the form of Count Orlok. With the gravity reversion being inspired by the 1992 Dracula film
is it possible to rescue syanna after going to see the unseen elder? I want to be able to do this quest (cause its cool) but i also want to explore the fairy tale land. Is it one or the other or can i do both?
nope
yes, when you speak with the Unseen Elder, you are only allowed to make one mistake, after that he will kill you, i find that cool :) , here in the video, the witcher makes as many mistakes as he wants with the Unseen Elder
What if you drink the black blood thing before he drinks your blood.
nothing ;[
lame
Just like when Detlaff grabs you and bites you before you land in this... heart thing.
Black blood just makes ur blood toxic like acid but it won't make u smile invincible it will still hurt or kill u if they drink more blood, plus I doubt a high up vampire can die from a little black blood
Thabks for asking this, it was driving me mad how no one thought or asked about the black bloods effect on the scene, considering the detail projektcd put into the game, its odd they didnt consider the another outcome with the blackblood
Gah I feel like a whole other game could have been spun off over the whole gate/portal thing to the vampires home universe.
maybe in the next witcher game, you ll play as regis or another vampire, meet old geralt. etc.
@@syamimshahab1916 That would be awesome!
perhaps the next witcher game will involve the second conjunction that's mentioned here?
The elder vampire reminds me of Peter from "What We Do in the Shadows"
This is the only time you’ve seen Geralt show true fear. The Wild Hunt nor O’Dimm made him this afraid; this was an opponent he knew he could not beat.
There is a quest in Skellige where you and a group of warriors face your deepest fears.
It would be pretty neat if, once the main story is over, Geralt's fear would change based on the DLC.
Gerald was visibly unsettled by O'Dimm, the fact that he had absolutely no idea what he is or how he could fight back if needed.
The Unseen Elder, well, at least Geralt knows what the fuck he is, what he can do, and that, if shit hits the fan, he either flees or it is no longer his problem
I'm late but Geralt fears O Dimm too. If you let O Dimm take Olgierds soul and starts walking away whistling you can clearly see Geralt backing off with slight but noticable fear in his face.
Krishna N Acharya Sure he feared him but I’m of the opinion that Geralt believed that he could mount SOME kind of fight against O’Dimm if he had to, no matter how feeble. I think that if he thought he had to kill the elder and the elder wanted him dead, he didn’t have much hope that the old tricks would work that well.
Either way, both of them were far more terrifying and intimidating villains than the Wild Hunt will ever be.
This elder is probably one of the most powerful creatures in the game and is one of the things you do not want to fuck with.
The elder will shit some blood if he meets gauter.
Gaunter*
+The Comment Sectioner lol I see what you did there
It must be a certain kind of torture for the Elder Vampire to be in that cave, getting a smell or taste of the vampire home world knowing they'll never be able to go back.
Everybody gangsta until they meet an absolute madman that always enters scene from a different side from where he left it
I need to play this game thru so many times to experience all of it. EASILY 10/5 game. Best ever
Blood and Wine as a DLC is better than most modern EA and Ubisoft entire games.
This old timing vampire needs to understand. the gate to their world will NEVER, be opened. He's stuck here. Forever.
what is geralts problem with subjects in a sentence
don't wanna hurt you ...need to find it ....lost some gear
Sebastian Schwärzel In a missiom wherr roach talks he says that it makes him concentrate.
Because he was written to talk like a person lol
I really hope if there’s a chance for Geralt and Ciri trying to help the vampires return to their world. I mean it seems like most of the higher vampires that’s still alive are pretty much too sad and longing for home that their existence start to become meaningless for them.
1:53 the Elder after sipping my Euphoria build Geralt who's on ten different potions at once
Guy keeps asking "for the last time", doesn't he.
I edited that in! If you ask twice he kills u
Definitely one of my top five missions in the entire game. The sheer intensity and mystique that the Unseen Elder brought to the game gave me the goosebumps like few others did. Right up there in the league of Gaunter and the Ladies.
*SPOILER*
Too bad this leads to the worst ending of the three. The fairytale path was refreshing and a great concept and fun to play. Not to mention the little bonus at the end.
But this... this is just pure badassery.
I like how the bestiary entry for higher vampires pretty much just says “Good luck.” 💀
So he's basically the world's most aggressive introvert
yep ;]
I’ve always avoided the unseen elder. But now, since I know it doesn’t end in absolute death. I will address it next playthrough.
I love how the game naturally shows you that there are things that are indeed out of your league. This guy, for example, that's the only place in the game where your ass will be instantly killed without even battle music could begin if you try to proceed ASKING THE DAMN QUESTIONS
The scene: Geralt comes face to face with an ancient and terrifying vampire elder, who wields unimaginable power.
The music: oh what a fine spring morning!
Unseen elder : you have one question
Geralt : how about a round of Gwent ?
Unseen elder : nods
I will never forget this ancient vampire.
i was just wondering bout this maybe u guys have an answer coz i havent read the book, im doing a research about these higher vampires of witcher 3. i heard geralt mention during the ride to castell ravelo with the duchess, that a man maybe a witcher managed to defeat a higher vampire before, but was not able to kill it. aside from that, regis mentioned about the cage in tesham mutna which is composed of special alloy.
( "" The cage was made of silver, dalvinite, and meteorite steel """ )
seems that the cage is able to prevent vampires from turning into mist and is also able to withstand the brute force of higher vampires. geralt mentioned that the cage seems to be crumbling already but its still able to restraint regis during his blood lust. ( to my thinking the alloy renders them weak that they cant break it ) another thing thats interesting, there are these mysterious armors and sword that is found in tesham mutna. i was just wondering, are these armor and sword made from the same alloy? are these anti vampire armors? in the game it was never mentioned specifically but maybe you guys know more.
MegAThrust vecino the guy who killed a higher vampire was a really powerful mage from a previous game. He blasted Regis to pieces
@@jakelappin7969 "MegAThrust vecino the guy who killed a higher vampire was a really powerful mage from a previous game. He blasted Regis to pieces"
Er... No. Not from a previous GAME, if you know what I mean. I don't know how to explain that without spoiling anything...
Thank you so much for making the exact video I was looking for, and especially for not talking over it like so many others do. ❤
I see so many people triggered by how overpowered the Unseen Elder is...
I'm probably one of the few who don't have anything against it and just find it quite interesting. It's an ANCIENT creature, of an incredibly powerful race, an alpha of all vampires of this land, as well as if he seems too OP - then for the Witcher world which he isn't from.
We don't know much about THEIR world and how many other powerful creatures might live there. People are being annoyed as if the Elder took part in everything we get involved in and messed with everything. He's just sitting in the cave, not wanting to be bothered, waiting for a chance to return to his world.
While an equally dangerous creature, O'Dim, gets involved into way too many events.
