How badass do you have to be for the monsters to have a song about you.
We frighten our kids with boogie man and boogie man frightens his kids with Geralt of Rivia.
He is the boogyman to the nonhumans
@@sandrinio86 HAHAHAHHA LOL
@@SirToaster9330 that's true haha
I once saw him kill three drowners with a pencil, A fucking peencil....
I just love how they potrayed Geralt, not as an unbeatable superhuman but just a Witcher. He didn't exactly win the "fancy" way, but he gets the job done.
How badly he gets his ass beat is one of the coolest things about the character. Think Spike VS Le Fou (was that his name..?) I love seeing the hero get their ass handed to them, Spike gets lit up like a Christmas tree in that episode... it’s better that way, I mean how many issues Wolverine had him an inch from death on the cover? Skewered on swords or bleeding out etc. it’s make for a more interesting character...
“This world doesn't need heroes, it needs professionals.”
This is one of the reason this is one of the best game ever made, with a proper difficulty you have to balance your gear, potions, bombs, etc. all just to not die again and again, while still allowing mistakes just enough so you don't get overwhelmed and easier tasks that allow gear improvement. This adds depth to game-play and together with a world that has side-quests richer than some other entire AAA games it makes it the best narrative-driven game ever made IMHO
It isn't like he is fighting any ordinary monster.
Mid to high vampires rank the highest among all the post conjunction monsters.
They have the ability to think and apply logic not to forget they are incredibly strong, agile and some can even turn invisible like bruxe while others can turn into fog like higher vampires.
It has even been stated that rarely ever a witcher takes up a contract for higher vampires.
@@necrisro What are you talking about? They talk about the cinematic and how Geralt was not the unbeatable superhuman HE IS in the game. In the game he has feats that are (imo) outright impossible. Dettlaff would wreck him imo with Geralt realizing that he lost only after he would be left nearly dead on the ground and Dettlaff drinking him.
Also, combat in this game is downright pathetic. You dont need oils, bombs or anything like that - its only a luxury. (I walked around with 0% sword and no oil etc. and was handling it just fine. After one round of death march I do all "Just Story!" because the combat just straight up ***** and I wanna get it out of the way asap.)
In the game I probably could take on the entire Toussaint full of knights and come out victorious murdering Anna Henrietta with a quote "You said to bring you the beast, here it is, me." - game Geralt should be much weaker imo.
In reality that crossbow does 3 damage, tops.
Underwater that thing is OP!
Just crafted the explosive bolts not bad at alll
This is after blood and wine, so Geralt has the extra mutations unlocked. He could have the Cat Eyes mutation to massively increase crossbow damage + the combat tree's marksmanship abilities for the crossbow to get massive crit chance, slow aiming, and disable monster abilities. So while unlikely, it could happen.
Are u English?
MWJR ™ Hahahah yes it kills drowners so easily
Geralt: Got other things on their minds.
Orianna: Things like me.
Geralt: No, things like Gwent.
lmao
Priority
Orianna: *Nods in agreement*
lmeo
The Witcher 1 Geralt would've smashed her first and then killed her
Geralt: Nice tune... Wanna play Gwent?
Bruxa: silently nods
best comment ever
Isn't she an alp
king of the hill awa I think she’s an Alp considering they wouldn’t forget the important sign of finding a bruxa
@@mudmanproductions2455 she is neither. She is a vampire, Orianna. You know her from the blood and wine DLC
And Bruxae is the plural form of Bruxa. Bruxaes doesnt exist.
Let it be known I gave you your 500th like! You owe me a round of Gwent boy
Y’all realize if u got the Blood and Wine dlc, the main menu screen is Gerald getting ready for this fight. U can see her walking around in the background, and the background is this location
dude holy shit good eye, thats so cool.
the creepiest was the caretaker main menu screen
And the same tune being played.
First time i laid my eyes in that menu and heard the tune i absolutely fell for it.
OMG thanks!
*Spoiler*
In blood and wine if you pick the "Meet orianna" dialogue and catch her drinking blood. Geralt promises orianna that he will return to kill her. Orianna even sings this lullaby in the menu and in the game itself
*NETFLIX, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. PLEASE DON'T SCREW THIS UP.*
@Dalle Smalhals he'll yeah, maybe next they'll pick Kevin Hart to play Wolverine.
Henry Cavill is to play Geralt.
Too late
@@MrJocko111 NOOOOOOOOOO...
@@MrJocko111 Sigh... Why would they take a winning formula, guaranteed to make money, and intentionally f*ck it up? Why?
I love that all the tools and abilities he uses are actually in the game. He drinks Black Blood to poison her, uses Moon Dust to find her, Quen to protect himself from the cart, and the crossbow to finish her off. Great attention to detail.
And Aard to force her away from him
@@rick1901 Yeah
Moon dust?
Our local grocery sells glitter pound for a buck.
Little sour that Yrden wasn’t casted, yet that one takes a little more time than Quen right?
I was also expecting him to use yrden but didn't, still that's so goddamn cool🤧
Geralt: sees a drowner 300 feet away:

So true 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEEEEEEEEEEEHHEEEEEE HAAAAHAAAHAHAAAA
1504 - The statue of David
1507 - Mona Lisa
1888 - Sunflowers van Gogh
2015 - The Witcher 3
The Mona Lisa is overrated
That good eh?
Almost all the famous paintings are overrated. Giant cathedrals, sculptures, etc. take months, years, 10+ years to make. Those paintings are done in a day. It's not even fair to view them in the same light.
2020 - Cyberpunk 2077
@@iknownothing4661 Its pretty impressive. sfumato and the technique used is pretty cool. But the painting is overhyped. Very overhyped. idk why maybe its the catchy name. Its just a damn painting after all. It was impressive in 1507 but in 2020, no. Times have changed
This Is actually an epilogue,in a way- to when Geralt says to orianna “I’ll come back for you one day you know that right” and orianna says “I’ll be waiting for you” from the blood simple quest in the blood and wine, and it actually all sums up cuz you hear orianna singing the, a night to remember song in the quest, and Geralt says “interesting tune” during the quest and when she’s singing it in this cinematic when Geralt approaches he says “been awhile sense I heard that song” or sum like that just kinda interesting how that’s all related if you put it together
Imagine the Witcher 4. Excited!
@@Filiouss yes that would be awesome, if and when they make it imma be all over it. I want a Witcher 4 so bad. Can’t wait it’ll be sick.
@@jeromesblockk4754 I'm all for a Witcher 4 but I think it should be about either ciri or a prequel or about someone totally different the point that I'm trying to make is geralts story is done and they should leave it at that
@@AnalrightBoah69 yeah man I hear ya. I think a prequel would be cool or in the Witcher 4 they allow you to make your own Witcher and pick your school or sum like that would be interesting fa sure.
@@jeromesblockk4754I personally like the idea of creating your own character and choosing which school he or she will come from e.g the bear school will be better for endurance and heavy builds and the cat school will be lighter armour and more agility focused. Personally I think the possibilitys are endless
I'm starting to think this game has literally bewitched me. It's been almost 5 years since it came out and yet I can't seem to get it out of my head. The world, the characters, the story, the atmosphere, the music, the insane attention to detail... it's so hauntingly beautiful.
The things I would do to play through this for the first time again... where is O'dimm when you need him?
same, man
sadly he’s dead :(
lionfajar gauther o dimm isnt dead, he is just beaten
denncs but i saw him burned after finding the right mirrors
@@wulzey He has been beaten before but he always comes back.
Geralt: "Ill come back for you one day. You realize that, right?"
Orianna: "Hmm. Then I shall keep an eye out for you."
I literally came here because of that one quote I just hear in the DLC
When I heard that song she was singing to that child in the dlc I knew it!
the toussant expansion best dlc ever made. cant believe this trailer even release erlier far away before the dlc
@@MeltedPixels the same bro😂😍
I just finished that expansion. I finally realized that she is the chick in the trailer.
Everyone making jokes at the comments while I'm here wondering how IGN rated Witcher 3 9.3/10 and Fortnite 9.6/10. Like WTF
It's a person's opinion, not a whole company's. I'm not sure if both games were reviewed by the same person but regardless that's how the reviewer(s) felt about the games, not IGN.
noodles :3 how is his coment savage, controversial even?
@Amir Akkady hmmmm
IGN is mostly bs shilling anyway, so who cares?
@@Swifftness1 look up Alanah Pearce on the matter, she reviewed for IGN and has set the record straight.
This may sound weird but after being playing around two months and finishing the main story and the dlcs I feel some kind of void. I miss Geralt, the rest of characters and their dialogues. It's like you spend so much time following their adventures and listening to them that at some point they become very near and once you've finished the game it feels really sad.
God, I love when a videogame is so freaking awesome.
I feel the same exactly....
I just started playing it.
@@allengeorge6924 I hope you enjoy ithe travel!
Don't forget to give a chance to gwent game.
@@rescuerofdreams Yeah trying to figure out how it works. After winning a match I don't know I lose the other 2 automatically.
@@allengeorge6924 That's probably because you spend all your cards in the first round and because in the beginning of the game you have just a few cards.
Don't worry. It's normal and you'll get many good cards during the adventure. Just keep practicing and you'll dominate it very soon! An advice: don't be afraid of loosing a round on purpose to keep some cards for the next one, specially if your opponent hasn't too many cards.
I'd like to explain you how it works but I get really confused because of my English.
Oh, also remember that there are some gwent missions in the game that are easy to miss and you'll be able to play gwent against main characters only at some certain moments in their story. If you win the match, you'll get their rare cards.
Be careful with it if you are interested in accomplishing all quests and trophies :)
When you realize this not a trailer but an epilogue.
Yeah so happy that orianna melted in sun xD. Degenarate vampire.
@@mlg_kaju2321 she doesnt melt into the sun this was cause of the potion, even in the game geralt say light dont affect vampires

This looks like it could have a tv show better than Game of Thrones.
megusta guy Hi I`m from Poland and I beg you DO NOT watch this TV show. It`s not very good, good or even avarge... it`s terrible and my personal opinion is that people who have made it should be hang :). If not yet I suggest you to read books and pray with me for HBO to make tv show as it should be (or CD RED to make CGI) :D Have a nice evening.
Sapkowski's Witcher Saga took away from me many sleepless nights. Totaly worth the efford.
Brendan Bernard The game is better than Game of Thrones.
RicoLen1 If you think the game is better, then check out the books. Sapkowski blows GRRM out of the water!
Brendan Bernard this short video takes months if not years to make depending on the budget, I dont think the average person understands how much time and money it takes to make I'm willing to bet they started making these trailers at the start of development for the game
I hate how good this game is. I now have such high standards for games.
I can't play big RPGs like this anymore because I constantly say to myself "Eh, this was better in The Witcher 3"
You the girl in the vid? Hmm
RUclips comments really make me wonder about the state of humanity...
@@jimpickens1701 you need not worry bout humanity. Worry bout thyself.
Ikr, games like red dead and ac odyssey made me go like "meh", thanks to the witcher
geralt when orianna bit him”CALL AN AMBULANCE!”
“but not for me”
@Madushan Jayawardane Why? What potion does Geralt drink that causes that? Black Blood?
@Madushan Jayawardane Is it meant to make his blood acidic?
@@aaronkenyon7112 Toxic to vampires and necrophages. Maybe acidic.
Yeah it makes his blood acidic so when they bite him it burns them
Does it prevent infection? Is there even infection by undead in this world?
This makes me want an actual Witcher cgi movie all the more.
Yes
Just I am groot
I Am Groot there's an actual witcher movie but it's in polish only and it's kinda old, still worth watching, you can look for english subs if u want
MagicznyGimbus It's awful. It has nothing in common with book. Special effects are poor. And the cast is terrible. Not worth watching.
I Am Groot Watch Beowulf
Almost 5 years later and it's still the best RPG ever made.
Not a RPG
@@ozan5388 Yes it is. You're role playing as Geralt of Rivia. It's a role playing game.
@@ozan5388 Its the most famous RPG of all time.
I wonder if Cyberpunk will beat it or pale in comparison...
It is odd, I have heard this, then I bought the game and it was unplayable due to the insane loading times in dialogs
It's now 2019 and this is still the best game I have played to date!
the same goes for me along with God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2.. and For Honor :D
same here :)
This and Rdr2, equally masterpieces
@rishabh sharma fuck off 😂
rishabh sharma Odyssey doesn’t even come close to touching the Witcher3, coming from someone who has 50+ hours in Odyssey.
Wow, 6 years later and this trailer still gets me wanting to play.
I am currently replaying it. I've loved a lot of games over the years. Donkey Kong Country 2. Mario Kart 64. Shenmue. Outrun 2 (as my channel will atest) and Witcher 3 surpasses them all to be my undisputed favorite game of all time. It's simply a masterpiece.
7 yrs now
Will this monster be seen in the game？
@@mancheonghoho She appears in game but you never actually go after her, Geralt if you decided to go with the option where you find her towards the end of Blood and Wine he will tell her he'll be back for her. Which is what he does in the trailer here. Unfortunately you never get to do it as a playable contract.
Watching this after you finish blood and wine is really satisfying
Yeah
No. It's sad. Because I finished the game. 😭 I miss it so much but it's not the same to replay.
Paleiko0630 try ng+
@@Dxrq-cd5en I'm sorry what's that 🤣😅
No! I like Orianna. It's weird but she's one of the better vampires...
Years have past and even the trailers are still giving people shivvers...pure genius
It's an absolutely incredible trailer. You feel sympathy for both characters. The Witcher, hated by society. The vampire, shedding a tear as she's cut to pieces. Both monsters, both despised, but one mercilessly cutting down the other for a few more days of food and shelter. It's a brilliant setting, and CDPR did it incredible justice.
BigMikeMcBastard she is a wraith not vampire. They are so hard to kill in the game
SMOKESWFT she’s not a wraith tf?
Hell, go back to the Witcher 2 intro trailer with the assasination on the ship. They know how to make incredible trailers!
Don't know why witchers are hated considering they're the only ones that are experienced enough to get rid of the monsters who don't want to co-exist with humans. It's like Skyrim... not everyone likes the Dovahkiin, even though they slay monsters, beasts, and Dragons for the selfish whoresons lol.
"I'll come back for you one day. You realize that, right?"
"Hm...Then I shall keep an eye out for you..."
Geralt's a man of his word
Geralt is the ultimate baddass!
mannnnn
Only a vampire can truly kill a vampire.
+Lev Levinson who said,that she is not a bruxa? all pointet to her and regis just say, that she is a "vampire" not a high one or something :)
Only thing I know is, when you're done talking with Dettlaff, Regis, Orianna and Anna at the art party you walk away with Regis. Geralt asks Regis if he can trust Orianna. Regis keeps his awnser vague and says to Geralt 'You know she's also a....' Geralt interupts him and says 'I figured' . Later you have to ask Orianna about the Unseen Elder and from what Regis has told Geralt, only a higher vampire know about the elders.
3:45 best moment of the whole thing. That’s the Witcher’s Path summarized in a single image.
Hunt until it kills you and die next to the monster in some out-of-the-way place no-one goes anymore.
Ah a man who understands storytelling. Yep that shot coupled with the music is a good representation of a Witcher's life. But so is the trailer as a whole. Add to this that most people wouldn't care if the witcher dies or would even insult him or try to scam/betray/kill him.
Similar detail was in the Netflix series of the Witcher, Geralt gettin bit by what looks like a ghoul and dying next to the one he snapped the neck of
Check out some of my shorts if you interested in witcher 3 content.
Wish I could forget everything about The Witcher III and play it again from the start
So lucky I haven't played any of these
Man me too. I would like to be able to get to know this wonderful story and the world once again
Same man. I've played it so many times that i know what will happen everywhere. I wish there would be a drug that makes me forget everything for a couple of days so i can complete the story like it was the first time...
here's a way to experience the entire story in a new light, assuming you didn't do this at first. read the books, then play 1, 2, and 3. that's what i'm currently doing and it really is a breath of fresh air at material that's already so familiar.
You got cyberpunk
Never go against a Bruxa without a little black blood and some moon dust.
superior versions, especially black blood, since it damages them just for being around you.
Don't forget about the blade oils! Those things were nasty
Anyone else tried to bait the Bruxa to jump them and take a bite out of them while with Black Blood? I was only successful twice, lol. Rest of the time I just killed them the good, old fashion way.
Nah... I just bring a lot of edible stuff and alot of beer and wine 😂
shes a vampire...orianna to be precise
I've watched this an unhealthy amount of times
You're doing it right, man.
Join the club man
Mr that's just your opinion man brooo same here !! Its adictive!
Ah, another addicted individual
same ^^ I love everything about it ^^
Its 2021 and im still coming back to this trailer to relive the memories of this game!
Same brother
Yeah, this is one of my favorite trailers of all time.
I still play this game till this day,this game will never get old its that good tbh.
This game will stay loaded on my PS4 until I die
It's 2021 and I'm back playing it. Played it way more than any other game
This video demonstrates two interesting things;
1) Geralt approaches with his sword already drawn because he knows how fast Bruxae are.
2) Geralt was so quiet he was able to sneak up on a damned Vampire.
1) they already know each other
2) he wanted to kill her on his own agenda
3) Orianna is an Alp
@@danterik9781 Where did you find out she's an Alp?
@@danterik9781 She isn't an alp because she can go invisible
He didn't sneak up on her. She didn't seem surprised at all by his appearance.
@Dakota Odom woah rly? what'd the book say?
And he came back for her. Now that's a well-finished and well thought product when one of the first trailer for the game connects to the last acts of the last dlc
Came looking for this
Wait what u can actually kill her? Thats so awesome. i cant play another game after i finished the witcher 3 seems way too perfect. Now im just here waiting for the release of another witcher themed game series. Rumour said its gonna be played by Ciri which i really loved. Cried my self when i watched their 10th anniv video and geralt thanking everyone for his success. Damn
Nah, you cannot kill her. But she's Oriana from Blood and Wine DLC. It's pretty clear when you connect the dots and listen carefully to what you hear in-game and here :)
@@Shelby1135 yes i also played both the dlcs and figured that out when she said she was gonna sing the boy to calm him down. Its so cool tho they connected everything from the trailer until the last act and also how Geralt and Yennefer can settle down as said in the endings. 😍
I thought she was a higher vampire in the game tho. I guess it's not a big deal.
When I played Blood and Wine this Orianna girl seemed so familiar when I first saw her, but I couldn't quite put my finger on where I saw her. And then comes *that* part in blood and wine as she starts singing this song to the boy and it hit me so god damn hard I got shivers down my spine. One of my best moments in gaming
I don't think it's possible to disagree with you, makes the whole "Nice tune, been awhile since I heard it last" hit way harder.
U got the bad ending then
@Sadik Bin Salauddin You can actually do a very nice path to understand the trailer, head to Orianna's while in the Night of Long Fangs, help her solve her situation (I won't spoil shit for anyone), and when it is all done tell Regis that you'd rather go find Syanna (in this moment you can board a boat and head to you know where). This way you can actually get a good ending, the achievement attached to the Order of Vitis Vinifera, and avoid letting it all go to shit.
Really? Wow that's cool. So it is possible explore both options
so what is your best gaming moment do u reckon?
“I’ll come back for you one day. You realize that, right?”
A moment of silence for people who found the witcher only after watching the show
Milos that’s me.
I'm actually jealous af that they get to experience it for the first time.
Scr3pted Attacks aaayyyyyy thank you. im starting to read the books now
Cian Mulvey right? i was late on everything. i actually knew harry potter when i was 20.
lol ikr?
My medallion is humming. Master of gwent, it gotta be.

"I have one. Hand over the card."
What blows my mind is that a trailer for Witcher 3 was actually the ending to story for the final piece of DLC
yes me too, that was just amazing
That takes some nerve on CDPR's part.
It was...well ... part of it but yeah quite ballsy
Yeah this takes place after everything in the game
@@ArmorFrogEntertainment yea, same with O'Dimm.
You meet him at the start.
200h later
'Wait. Is this the mf that i think the mf is? No f way. NO WAY oh god thats so trippy'
That really really was something unexpected.
It blows my mind that this was one of the first trailers ever released -- and then years later, after Blood & Wine, you realized it's not a prologue but an EPILOGUE to the whole game. This is Geralt fulfilling his promise to come back for Orianna. Also, I always felt a little sad for Orianna.
she abused children...you KNOW she killed many of them along the way probably by accident most of the time but still never stopped her
@@mikepette4422 what can i say, I'm a sucker for a pretty face and a nip slip 😭
but Orianna is supossed to be a higher vampire... on this she is more like a Bruxa , this makes me think that this wasn´t planned at all .. at they did this just for trailer
@@3lmanuuu I think there are the level of high vampire and she not same level as Detlaff or Regis
@@mikepette4422 so what? world have tons of useless people and children. but only one cool beautiful singer vampire. let her eat some useless human. nice trade. humans are breeding like rabbit anyway
I can't describe how perfect this game is. Absolute masterpiece that will take part in gaming history. 11/10 game.
It's really cool that Henry Cavill is a big PC gamer. He played through the Witcher 3 twice and well before the Netflix series was announced. When the series was eventually announced, he wanted the part badly and asked his agent to contact the director for an audition (this was before they even had chosen other actors for a potential casting call). Needless to say Henry impressed them with his Geralt character portrayal and got the part. 😎
Sorry mate
But wrong
11/10 for story telling, graphics, awesome scenes, compelling characters
5/10 for being a good game
The combat is rinse and repeat dogshit (almost as bad as skyrim’s)
And the movement is clunky as hell
Luckily it’s a great piece of work due to the rich lore and cool monsters and all else I mentioned
But you have to be pretty blind if you can’t see that it’s got some serious problems stopping it from being a masterpiece of a “game”
Masterpiece of storytelling and honour to its original work, yeah no doubt but of gaming? Nah it’s pretty standard
@@sbraypaynt Everyone has an opinion. It's one of the highest rated PC games on Steam with user reviews hovering around 97-98% last time I checked. Considering how critical the user reviews can be on Steam, that score is incredible.
@@JCTiggs1 True, but steam reviews are fickle like that, they hate on things that don't deserve it, and overly hype things that don't deserve it. Personally i think the Witcher 3 is one of the best games of the decade, but it does have its problems, repetition being one of them. In a game as long as it is that's bound to happen ofc, but I am playing thru it the past week myself and damn some of the quests, treasure hunts, and witcher contracts are really just rinse and repeat fetch quests. Main arc is great tho.
@@sbraypaynt Honestly the combat is not bad at all, a bit repetitive but substantial enough to make you forget about it. The movement on the other hand may be clunky but you can easily get the hang of it within 2-3 hours in the game. The only horseshit in this game is the fall damage.
This really reminds me of first Witcher and it's intro cinematic, where Geralt fights against Striga...I totally love this
Bunny Girl Thats what came to mind :P yes
Bunny Girl classic monster hunting..as is meant to be
exactly
Bunny Girl
That's a good comparison, especially because it shows how old Geralt's getting. In that cinematic he was energetic, alert and responsive but this he's sluggishly pushing through it.
lulu1night4ever but also keep in mind that, this bruxa is centuries old, really experienced and dangerous one. you can get that hint when she said "time's passed. no amount of coin would convince a witcher to take this contract" so this one is a hard one.
They made a trailer to announce the "end" of the quest of a DLC of a game that wasn't even ready yet, and it all makes sense now damn those guys are a bunch of geniuses
It's nice but genius how?
Gaunter O'Dimm has the same effect for me, pretty nice 😉
@@G8Knight this takes place after dlc
Charaykee Shilla because this trailer was made way bfore the last dlc and it’s funny how the first trailer is acc the end of the last dlc for the game
Tbh, i don't think this was their plan from the start.
The fact that this scene happens after literally the whole game's story is amazing
"I'll come back for you one day,You know that?"
its not a question at the end :D "you know that."
She finally got hers
Frost 65 and she'll never hurt those kids again.
Joe of America she had a mutual agreement with the kids. She’ll provide them with food and a roof in exchange for feeding on them. Nevertheless she was an abomination and needed to be witchered. NEVERMORE.
JAMES LUNE His code is that he does not kill sentient beings
Jeez, no wonder he was having a hard time beating her after Blood and Wine....
.....he’s wearing his level 1 armor!
Could also be the Viper witcher gear
WolfGang Still the lowest level armor.
@@atlasprime6193 its actually one of the highest level armor you can get plus its immune to poison
WolfGang Then I’m assuming it’s the Heart and Stone Viper gear you’re talking about. If that’s the case, then look closely at the armor’s texture in the trailer. It’s clearly the starting set or viper gear from the base game, while the HOS version is black with reptilian scale texture.
@@atlasprime6193 Oooo yeah your right it's the beginning armor
This is why I like the Witcher mythos. You see, Witchers are definitely much stronger than average humans, there is no doubt about that. However against monsters, not so much. Sure their increased physical abilities and keen senses help a lot, but what really matters is their knowledge and tactics.
Take this fight for example.
Geralt has no delusions about this fight. He knows it's not gonna go peachy. He is not cocky cause he know he can't win in a 1v1 situation against that thing. He knows he is gonna get bitten at some point, so what does he do? He literally poisons his own blood to hurt the Vampire. And that is where the Witcher vitality and mutations come handy. A normal human would have died the second he swallowed that potion. But as we see here, Geralt's Witcher powers were just no enough by themselves. If he didn't have the necessary knowledge to make the potion, or to know it would hurt the vampire, he would have died without hurting it at all. If he was cocky about his powers and not use it, he would have died without hurting it again.
Great franchise honestly.
This is the exact point why I dislike superheroes. They generally are just op, no clear challenges that would make much sense (obviously some bad guys win them, but then in the rematch die because of stupidity).
Well Geralt has dismantled A bruxa with quite ease before, i think the reason he takes hits is both to show how smart he is, by tricking the Bruxa, but also simply to show how very, very poisonoues some witcher Potions are- If you'd put Geralt and this bruxa up stats wise.. The bruxa would've been 0- I gonna get rekted. Geralt 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000- Gonna fuck yo face up. Lets also appreciate the fact that He beats a Higher Vampire in one on one combat...
I'd still take Geralt over batman any day.
Niflheim
Batman wins through Plot Armor. The writers just like him. He is shit.
***** yea thats probably right
This cinematic has more value and excellency than the 2 netflix seasons combined
Agreed
come on they are not that bad
I actually like the Witcher on Netflix...
What makes you say this? Netflix did a pretty good job. I think you say this just because "Netflix bad". Games and books are 10/10 but that doesn't make the series bad. There is no shame in being 9/10 or even 8/10, like the serie is.
so true
"I'll come back for you one day. You realize that, right"
“Then I shall keep an eye out for you”
@Delfin Reyes depending on where you live like me you can get it like all other games for free ;)
@Delfin Reyes they've confirmed there won't be a Witcher 4. There will be another game in the universe, but as Witcher 3 blatantly stated for you once you beat it, "Geralt's story has come to an end."
Bob Pickleson I find it a bit weird how much I see people expecting you to play as Geralt in "witcher 4" because of how clearly blood and wine implicated that this is the end for Geralt's story. They gave a satisfying ending to his story.
I mean I don't blame them but it's propably mostly wishful thinking on their part in the end.
how to fight a bruxa checklist
- black blood
- moon dust
- quen
- aard
Fuck quen
Just stab till dead
when fighting vampires don't forget yrden.
I use Ekhimara decoction (using stamina you gain vitality), vampire oil and black blood + quen.
Isnt she a higher vamp??
Who else will be rewatching this 20 times and hoping for a full movie.

Orianna: In times past no amount of coin could convince a Witcher to take this contract
Geralt in Blood and Wine: *She made it personal*
Watching this after knowing who Orianna is, is a whole other experience... thank u cdpr
I saw this went it came out I was lost without cloe now I finished the game and knoe who the woman is 🔥 this video is even better after geralt told her that he was coming later for her
I like to think that this is Geralt's last contract before settling down for good, feeling off about their last encounter and only accepted it because he had a hunch it was her.
Wasn't it confirmed to be a epilogue
Isn't this Orianna from B&W? He had already suspected she was a vampire, but he never went after her.
@@brahmantyoihsan5938 He had a hunch, but Regis confirmed it for him, long story short in one of the quests she did some really fucked up shit and Geralt never got the chance to kill her, there's no contract in game and no way to actually kill her unless you use a mod for it, which is a shame really but at least this cinematic exists
@@IssDiddy Ah yes, I didn't get it because I chose to free Syanna instead. Everything makes sense now that I know what happened if you choose to do Orianna quest.
@@brahmantyoihsan5938 yea you can also start the Orianna side, complete it and then go do the Syanna side instead of continuing to the unseen elder
Orianna: Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing no manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths~ (Song: Lullaby of Woe)
Geralt: Nice tune. Been awhile since I heard it last.
Orianna: Folk have forgotten it.
Geralt: Got... Other things on their mind.
Orianna: Things like me?
Geralt: (Sigh) They paid me for you.
..
Orianna:(Chuckles) Times past, no amount of coin could convince a Witcher to take this contract.
Geralt: Times have changed.
THANK U😇
Here witcher, you dropped this 💰
Thanks a lot!!!
yo someone should make a video of this script! It could be a run-up to a big fight!!
Actually its fearing all manners of ghouls , hags and wraiths
We need an animated series exactly like this trailer. These few minutes are better than anything Netflix produced in 3 seasons.
Its not the game of the year, decade or century. This is the game of our life time. This is art my friends.
Jamison Moeckel Overrated
No. He's right.
Jamison Moeckel well doubt an average "lifetime" is a century so game of the century is more impressive then a lifetime tbh but yh this is by far one of the if not the greatest game ever made
best of the best!
Unless Cyberpunk 2077 comes and blows our minds again.
Four words: Game of the century
Call of duty infinite warfare

Jace-One C. How fucking dare you.
Meh. It's not as well balanced in story, characters and game play as the last of us. That's still the standard for me.

This game has ruined me, I can't find a game that I enjoy playing as much as this.

@@rahulsinha2775 it's good but it's still not quite Witcher good, but definitely good

I'll definitely check them out, hoping for the best
The only game that I'll put above Witcher 3 is Red Dead Redemption 2.. but its pretty close..
Trailer:
Game: Geralt drinks 4 decoctions and kills her in 1 hit
Euphoria build in a nutshell
Better death march that shit dawgy lol
@@timenavigator9643 with euphoria build even death march is quite easy
Except if there is a cutscene when you kill her
Working hard uncle?
It's been a while, but I love the fact that the trailer shows that Geralt is not neccesarily an unbeatable swordmaster and is unmatched in close combat, but he gets the job done with foresight, preparation and thinking one step ahead.
He is this amazing swordmaster and all, its just that this is a very powerful supernatural vampire...
Ingrett I think he actually acted weaker so the Bruxa would drink the black blood
@@theArab__ No, he did not act weaker, bruxa really did overpower him. He is but a witcher, mind you, higher vampires are definitely more powerful at face value.
@@sebastjankrek1744 there is no proof that he didn't act weak, it would actually be more logical to say that he did, this is because he is strong enough to defeat not only eredin but also a "true" higher vampire.
@@bertilvanhauwaert5361 If you really wanna see Geralt as this superman that he really isnt but tw3 tries so hard to paint him as be my guest lol
Watching this after Blood and Wine is fucking genius. Little did we know back then.
i know right? Amazing
Ignorance is blisd
Belydrith u never fought any vampire before the dlc?
- M1StakeS Bruxa weren’t In the base game
Well there were katakans in the base game, they are considered vampires. But they are nowhere near as strong and annoying as alps or bruxae from Blood and Wine.
How is it that I've been playing Witcher 3 for so long and I've only just discovered this incredible cinematic?? lol
im currently at 90 hours gameplay and just saw this today, shame this is the last game (featuring Geralt at least)
Adam Bolton in the original books, that game IS based on, are many fights and stories like this.
Samuel Šplichal I keep meaning to read them. Never find the time. :(
If you have Audible, you can get the audiobooks - they're amazingly read! :)
Ségolène Scheuer you look awsm
9 years later and i'm still coming back to watch this, lol.
This game ruined it for me - how am I even supposed to look other games in the eye, while Witcher 3 placed the bar this high?
Xiyu Yang Still got Cyberpunk 2077 soon
lI_Toasty_Il yea but how long will that take
Xiyu Yang play god of war
Shea McManus its not even close
Movie Night are you honestly serious? To see its not even close is a total lie, to a bias person i wouldn’t mind if they liked the witcher better but god of war has completely changed and revamped the story of kratos, revamped playstation exclusives and changed how every AAA games company will now think. It has been my favourite game ever with the witcher as a second.
Four years later and this is still one of the best trailers I have seen ever.
So fucking cool to watch this again after beating Blood and Wine. You realize the trailer is set in Toussiant, the vampire is Oriana, and this is set after the events of Blood and Wine because you know what Oriana has been doing. So they had legit planned Blood and Wine way back before the game launched, good on you CDPR.
Dragos I don't think CDPR had fully decided what Oriana would be at this point. That's why she acts like a higher vampire but then shifts into a bruxa form. It's still impressive they had planned for her this far back.
the bruxa you fought at the corvo bianco cellar also could converse pretty normally.
Silvers Yeah, but B&W made it pretty clear by Oriana's relation to the Elder that she was in the Higher Vamp category.
Thing is that this trailer isn't set in Toussaint, but in the peripheries of Novigrad. You can also see snow on the ground. There's no real winter season in Toussaint.
+Piotr B I only saw the picture with the woman in dress ... weird magic
I love how, in the end, you almost feel sorry for her. You know she's a merciless, evil monster and her transformation in bruxa shows it clearly. But then she gets mortally wounded and lays on the ground and all you see is a beautiful girl, no older than twenty something, with a scared, confused look on her face, as the light rapidly abandons her green eyes...this trailer is a masterpiece
Oriana is a vampire who is way older than 20. Dont be deceived plus it’s a game.

Around 2 years ago, I was jogging at night, then, there was a girl figure doing stretching while humming this song at a park. I said to her "Nice tune, been a while since I heard it last." After that, I proceeded to run away as fast as I could as my life depends on it. Never ever jogging at night after that.
Why did you run
Can confirm. I was the girl.
@@l8teraligator618 obviously, I'm not a Witcher.

How it feels like: ( Medallion's humming. Must be a place of power nearby. )
LOL this got me,to be precise it humming bcs of powerful magic around(you can see on viviene quest b&w dlc)
I should draw from it.
Hehehe
"Mhm..a Wi-Fi tower, it's gotta be."

Voya series is already happening :)
Pedagogic in Starcitizen yes ^^
Really? All games is ART
Overrated imo
How this fight ties into Blood and Wine, is just so fucking cool man.
Funny that this trailer came out for the base game and the trailer is about Blood & Wine DLC which is coming out 1 year later
@@ozaauliaramadhan1485 you know that like..games take a reaaaaally long time to make. So most likely when witcher 3 was released they were already working on blood and wine and probably had everything planed out.
@@Kuran1986 Still doesn't make sense why they sent out a trailer for the main game if the trailer were based on the DLC portion of it
@@Cruddy129 It's not based on a portion of the dlc. But rather the trailer takes place some time after the events of the dlc...
Wait is this Orianna
Look, Netflix. That's how you make decent monster fighting.
What I like in this trailer - Geralt knew he would loose the fight against vampire and he tricked her. Very professional and cold-blooded.
lastbeer If you pay attention, after the bite: he waits for the potion effect to kick in, without any rush gets up, casts the sign, picks up his sword and slowly coming to finish her off. The whole dramaturge of the video is very cool!
Yeahh this whole fight shows you how badass Geralt is. Such a shame the bruxa fight at Corvo Bianco not as intense as this fight even though bruxa is a powerful beast.
@@assasainscreed786 Played in Death March with combat build. It was quite easy (only Detlaff pushed me a bit hard)
Was the potion in this black blood? I've been trying to figure out what it is
@@casualtroll6653 yes
Damn, i think Geralt just took a bottle of Superior Black Blood...
Probably just the enhanced or normal stuff. Otherwise she'd have started falling apart even before the sun got to her. Silver bolts in her back didn't do her any favors, either. Man planned very carefully for this fight, indeed.
Black blood :P
Alex_Baroudi yeah sorry, i mean Black Blood. Bad Blood is a song by Taylor Swift 😅
Hahahahahaha not much difference at all 😂😂
The potion he drank is actually available in-game. Works pretty much the same as in the video.
THE SONG THAT'S PLAYING DURING THE FIGHT IS 'A HOLE IN THE SUN' BY TWO STEPS FROM HELL
it's been bugging me for the past HOUR
5 mins of searching comments and you just made it worth it. I'd give you another 9 thumbs up if I could
you're a hero, just wanna let you know that

Summer of 2022 and still one of the best game trailers ever made , goosebumps !
facts!!
5 years later if you are watching this, "you are a Legend"
thanks homie. still playing
Yes ❤️
Agreed
Witcher 3 has aged really well. Going to play it with my brother and introduce him to one of the finest stories in video gaming.
why would you quote "you are a Legend"?
Sadly it didn't end with a round of gwent
The video should have started with "Up for a round of Gwent?"
Riftwalker your a bruxa interesting want a game of gwent ?
“Are you familiar with the rules of Gwent?” - Every single NPC in White Orchard
@Agent Galahad
As long as she/it can play gwent, yeah sure, why not?
Would've loved to face Orianna in a gwent match
2:59
Every single time I rewatch this trailer, I get goosebumps after her scream when Geralt uses Aard and the music kicks back in. Haven't seen a movie that does this to me in years.
same
This is how fights should look like in Netflix adaptation.
Few things I learnt form this vid
1. Sometimes, looks are deceiving.
2. Be prepared. Always be prepared.
3. Never give up. Never.
4. Be one tough, badass motherf*cker.
5. The Witcher 3 is the best video game of this generation.
Deuro Ekso you're goddamm right
Damn straight!
You learnt all of that from a fucking vidya trailer?
wat u should've learned is to always drink black blood before fighting a vampire! haha
Elder scrolls 6 has yet to come
if cyberpunk somehow tops this game I’d be mind blown.
I wish it does because it will show they are driven to upgrade experience for the players, I have never met a company as focused on the player as cd project red

And he did
StrikeEntertainment | Gaming Channel I did
Geralt of fucking Rivia No, I DID
Geralt of Rívia I kicked her sexy ass
This quest was art.
Mastermind Gaming like my potato drawing ART
Every thing about this cinematic is just amazing, I've watched it soooo many times.
Can we just take a moment to talk about how fucking amazing of a protagonist Geralt is? He is easily one of the best in videogame history, especially with how the dialogue options work: offering different versions of the same character, depending on your own preference. Even though there's so many dialogue options, no way you take betray his character. That is flawless writing right there.
Really? Geralt is one of the main reasons I dislike the game as I think he such a shitty bland block of wood protagonist. Though in the books I liked him more, Ciri's the worst thing about the books.
@Casey Wollberg Lol, the majority of the women in this game are either prostitutes or literal house wives that are their husband's property just like back in the medieval times, the women you're talking about are most probably the sorceresses which are widely known to be arrogant, manipulative and with ulterior, selfish motives, nothing surprising there.
Mikelo VGS Yeah, all of them are wannabe Morganas. I feel that’s an apt description for them.
Weird little Easter Egg in the blood and wine DLC, if you kill a bruxae or an alp during the Night of Long Fangs quest, it dies in exactly the same way as Orianna in the video, crawling away, crying out and finally dying on their front with one leg cocked
Doesn't have to be this quest. I noticed plenty of them doing it throughout the DLC. But yeah, they do crawl away like this.
Its been 6 years? Cant believe how old i am but i miss the good old days.

So damn underrated, this comment is legendary
That moment in Blood and Wine where you recognize Orianna from this trailer
That was pretty much my fav moment of the entire series!
OMG I know lol. When she started singing to the kid...I was like, "uhuh..." So I guess this trailer takes place after BaW. He said he'd come back for her.
Am I the only one who falls madly in love with her face at "things like me"?
Red hair and freckles , dynamic duo!
Me too I'm in love 😍
You’re not
Pedro Nascimento when she let down her hair and she gives you that cute face😍
She looked 100% like my ex in that scene. In the scene that followed too. In the "morning after scene" too, now that I think about it.
The fact this is an epilogue, is down right perfection.
I just noticed this is Orianna from Blood and Wine, Geralt did say he would come back for her because she was a Bruxa. So they were hinting Blood and Wine for a year and i noticed this now..
I would agree with you if Orianna was a Bruxa, but I am fairly certain she was a higher vampire like Delaff and Regis.
OMG i wish they will make some DLC where we can hunt Orianna....Mam nadzieje że zrobią DLC gdzie będziemy mogli polować na Orianę
But it dos'nt makes sense. Haven't played B&W yet but i've read that this Brouxa is Orionna from B&W but it can't be!
You can notice that Geralt already has the scar due to the brouxa's bite when he meet Emyr for the first time in TW3.
+Philliwolf5 no dude alps can't disappear only bruxas can which she clearly did in the video.
+shadow Ninja yes they can. i literally just fought an alp a few minutes ago when i went to get the black dye recipe
Just finished Blood and Wine DLC and now I understand why they vote CDPR for the best Developer. Salute!
It's not a DLC, it's a game expansion. Completely different thing.
