There has been a slight update in the Next-Gen edition, the tapestry and the swallow are now much easier to spot, further confirming their significance! ruclips.net/video/n9YtdCYuigk/видео.html
Here's what I don't get. They double the money GOD gives you, they double the money you get for selling Ciri. When, in this game, do you ever need money? I'm sure it's to just rub salt in the wound for making a dumb decision, since you're playing a game for the content in it, not to get a few hundreds runes worth of gold being an asshole. I dunno how others even accept money for the griffin contract in white orchard. It's so incredibly easy to amass funds in this game even if you're just walking around aimlessly, picking flowers, and selling them. And if they indeed made it more apparent that Ciri is alive when you do make obviously stupid choices and chooses to not come back to Geralt, I guess that's maybe what they are doing. Pointing out that making the bad decisions is fucking stupid even with more reward. Anyway, who cares. If Geralt isn't the protag in the Witcher 4, at least I know what the devs look like and where they are... and all that implies.
at 6:22 there is a scene with everyone in the house of Corvo Bianco? Is this achievable or is this a mod of some sort? Whould appreciate if you were to tell me a bit more about it.
@@matro2Found out after some search after. I thought it was soome content I may have missed since it was my first time playing through entire Witcher 3 + dlcs . But thanks anywways :)
@@xLetalis I was read the theory once, that all endings are one long by the days they are happening. First Geralt come to die, but ciri rescue him then she became witcher after taking lessons from the geralt and at the end she came back to Nilfgaard to became the empress. So it's maybe this that ciri survived.
Yeah, but without the guy who found out what was actually on that tapestry no one would have figured anything else out. There was quite a few people who contributed to this.
He's become an awesome "voice" of the game. I could easily pick him out of a crowd just by his voice, I'd have to stifle the desire to hug him for his work. Hurry up witcher 3 update!!! and HUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY UPPPPPPP Witcher 4, THIS MAN HAS work to do! Seriously, I love this content, I love this world, this game and story are so great, only made better by channels like this. Also, props to NeonNight, also must see content.
A viewer found the actual texture of the tapestry, where the bird is more clearly visible, and it is definitely a swallow, you can see the signature tail if you zoom in: pbs.twimg.com/media/FYhYRYIXkAcvpTx?format=jpg&name=large
if that bird is Ciri... it is flying away... so 'The Worst of the Worst Endings' is Ciri defeating the White Frost but then leaving The Witcher World yet again for another multiverse vacation... but this time Ciri is never coming back. this is why i think that. Ciri has nothing to return to. both Triss and Yen hate and dump Geralt for being unable to choose either one. Geralt sold Ciri off to Emrys. etc. etc. if Ciri went back to live with Triss as a 'lil sister' or with Yen as a 'daughter' and Geralt actually died... both ladies would be sad or bitter or angry at Geralt for dying like that. those feelings would eventually (both are sorceresses and would live for many many years, perhaps even Ciri would too) poison Ciri's relationship(s) with the Sorceress(es). Ciri would also have to face off with her father Emrys at some point, or whatever form of government/heir the Nilfs chose after her daddy gets assassinated or abdicates or whatever. so, some royalists or some faction would see Ciri as some obstacle or figurehead or something for Nilfgaardian domination or something. if she goes 'world-hopping' i bet Ciri ends up someplace warm, with beaches, scantily clad boys and girls to frolic with, lots of good food, good sex, and good booze... and she just lays around and indulges herself in all the fun things she didn't get to do due to her 'destiny and lineage etc.' because she's done with all of that. her story is over and she didn't get to live happily ever after. well, except for leaving all her previous cares behind and enjoying herself for the rest of her life.
Shame on me. I just wanted to say that i would love some of your favourite parts as a director's cut playthrough, but i didnt know you have the whole playthrough up as well 🤦♂️..which will be my main playlist for the next time when i have time to binge it :D 😘
Head Canon: the white frost emanates from a fissure in a distant world. Throughout the game, your choices are affecting ciris mood and emotions, or rather what she remembers in the final moments of the campaign. These moments are important, because Ciris emotional state affects how she stops the white frost. When ciri goes to the frost, she is setting her elder blood aflame to burn the fissure where the white frost originates from. If Ciri is happy, (i.e good ending), her positive emotions catalyzes her elder blood, burning the white frost without damaging her at all. If you choose the bad ending, Ciri has memories of strife and anger in her final moments, and when she burns the white frost, it consumes her. Thats how I interpreted it.
@@stianberg5645 for me now this is the biggest mystery in this ending If he saw tapestry he would pick his sword and makes his way out but he won't search for ciri he will leave her alone and even he won't tell anybody what he knew like in b&w When Regis asked him about ciri he never mentioned what happened after defeating the wild hunt Like in b&w when Regis asked him
i know that is truly a bad ending! so if somehow citi and geralt are somehow involved in witcher 4 and they meet, assuming there both still alive i wonder how this would play out
@@xLetalis I was sure she survived !! Honestly, I hope this is the "secret", because in my both playthroughs, I always ended up getting the "bad" ending... But it may be the sad, it never said she died in the White Frost ! What a relief, 7 years after ! Thank you very much for you research !! 👍🏿👍🏿
The best ending for the main game in my opinion. It is implied that Ciri and Geralt died but left ambiguous. However, you don't have to be a bad Geralt to get the ending. All you have to do is have a drink with Ciri, go with her to the Lodge's meeting, and not trash the elf's lab.
its quite interesting how in the worst ending, both characters who we presume are dead (Geralt and Ciri) survive however like you said there's a very good chance their relationship is completely shattered, also incredible work as always, genuinely incredible how much work you have put in for not only making the videos but also finding a bunch of hard to find secrets :) you can find out Geralt does survive the worst ending btw because you can still use a worst ending save on Blood and Wine and you get extra dialogue with Dandelion about it :)
@@carlogiurizzato2441 You're right, there certainly seem to be more than one swallow. Hopefully it doesn't matter. You know when Geralt killed Weaves, some kind of birds(ravens I think), came flying out of her. I really doubt it, but could it be that Ciri found her end in the tower after all and swallows came flying out of her?? Hopefully not, but that's the only thing I can think of. Tell me what you think.
@@menpower1 course he does. There's a potential ending to B&W where if you achieved the framed "Worst ending" dandelion shows up at the end of the main quest when you visit corvo bianco after your very last conversation with Regis. This only happens if you cheated on both Yennefer and Triss and Ciri isn't avaliable a.k.a the worst ending so yes. You think a few lousy monsters can take Geralt out for good lmao.
@@aerondightlit6014 Ah right, that's true. I guess CDPR wanted to be ambiguous about Gerald's fate in the worst ending up till they realized that it would jeopardize their plan for the B&W expansion
@@aerondightlit6014 The only reason the worst ending had an impact on one of the Blood & Wine ending's is so the player could have something to look forward to in the end. CDPR wanted every player to be treated equally and never left out. So I don't think it's meant to be taking literally. I still think the worst ending is still relaying the message that Geralt died & Ciri left. The story of Blood & Wine is meant to follow up on the first two endings, that's just my opinion. I think the fans would be irritated or enraged if they found out that they couldn't access the b&w expansion cause they got the bad ending. CDPR wanted everyone to be treated fairly for a happily ever after but I still don't think Dandelion appearing is the follow-up continuity of the worst ending, but an alternative.
Not going to lie, I started to tear up at the thought of Ciri still surviving. This would be a great intro for the new game. Opening up with a scene of her flying away and then starting her own Witcher school. But your journey isn't over and there will be more secrets to find. Thank You for this incredible channel and all the hard work you've done over the past years xLetalis. Hope you and your family are doing well and until the next time...
Hearing that Kaer Morhen really brings out emotions of beautiful nostalgia and loss at the same time. Kinda of like the idea of a last secret to be found. I wish a remaster for all three games could be made into another edition. This is the best game ever made. Hands down. Thanks for keeping it so alive
I know it is never going to happen, but I would love to be able to restore Kaer Morhen to it's full beauty in the next game, and maybe even rebuild the School of the Wolf there too.
@@marcosscorzoni3465 Yeah I did so to, but deep down I know that the 1st playthrough is always the real one because that one was from the heart. Anyways, I hope this is confimred, because then I know I'm not a shitty father lol
Your determination and eagle eyed (or should I say “falcon eyed” to stay on theme with the video 😉) dedication will never not astound and delight me!! Well done!!
Hey man, I wanted to say thank you, not just for all the work you put into your videos, but something personal as well. My dad passed from cancer only 2 months ago, and your content has been keeping some interest in TW3 for me that I would have lost otherwise to depression. More importantly to me though, the screencap at 3:48 about the symbolism of swallows. I’ve noticed them more ever since I lost my grandmother over 10 years ago. What I’m trying to say I guess, is that the world has a funny way of showing us the things we need to see. I’ve had a few especially rough days lately, but I’ve noticed a swallow flying near me a lot of the time when I’m outside. I hadn’t quite realised there could be a bit more to it than coincidence. It’s given me a sense of peace, to see that wherever he was going next, he got there safely. Thank you for sharing the info in this video. Much love, and I can’t thank you enough. 💛
Her weaving of a tapestry may also mean something like changing fate. In Greek and Norse mythologies (the Nornir in Norse, and the Fates in Greek mythology) are often depicted quite literally weaving fate. When a person's fate is altered or a new chapter in their life is being written. So, Weavess (like come on, weave is even in her name) making a tapestry about Ciri shows that something has indeed been altered in Ciri's life. The sisters in both these mythologies are always three, like the witches themselves; let's be honest, they altered many lives around them. I'm guessing that Weavess is supposed to be Clotho from Greek mythology, the one who spins the tread, Whispess may be Lachesis, the one who dispenses the thread and Brewess might be Atropos, the one who cuts the thread, ending the life of a person. But this last bit is just my little theory. I do strongly believe in the weaving of the tapestry though, the fact that she was still making it, means Ciri's life hasn't ended and that it's left unfinished means that anything can happen now since all the sisters are dead. But... what's sad is that Ciri didn't come back to Geralt. Is she disappointed? Sad?
Thank you for your comment. But still I have no clue why the Weavess would weave a tapestry about Ciri to begin with. What's the purpose and use for her?
@@oliver.n278 Ciri is probably the most important being in the witcher universe if not one of the most important. She is the only person alive with Lara Dorren's blood and she was the only one who could stop the white frost, the literal end of the world. I'd say she's quite important. Also, she killed Weavess' sisters so she means something to her anyhow.
@@oliver.n278 I'm not sure, perhaps she was compelled to make it? Like you know how witches go looney when they get a vision? She doesn't seem like the most stable woman. Haha, just a theory though.
@@GnaedigerJupp Nor does geralt treating her the way you have to to cause the worst ending; what's your point?? "If geralt acts terribly out of character to her she responds in a way she normally wouldn't to him because he's not himself anymore" is the most non-statement ever dude.
@@gallavanting2041on my first play through I wasn’t bad to her but I was over protective. I didn’t take the coin either, her abandoning Geralt is so teenager-esque
Me squinting at the tiny white 9 pixel smudge ive never noticed before: "Ah, yes. Clearly. A sparrow. Of the Lincoln variety, it seems. Spizella Brewery to be specific. Around 2 years of age, clear weathering on the feathers, depicting a hard life."
One of the things I've thought about a lot is a passage in the books that talks about how the seas have really rough water when Pavetta, Calanthe, and Adalia die - and that's how Crach an Craite knew Calanthe had passed. I always wondered if the seas would act the same if you have gotten the bad ending...
As someone who got the "worst" ending on my first attempt, I have to say I didnt realize that it was the worst one until I googled the other possible endings. To me it was clear as day that Ciri was gone but not dead. I mean, I was still sad but she was never dead to me. Oh, I also reloaded a couple hours back and decided on the Witcher ending for Ciri.
Ciri being alive in all the endings makes it possible for her to be in the next Witcher game regardless of the world state you had at the end of The Witcher 3, which is pretty cool.
I don't think so. Witcher 4 could take place long before the events of Geralt which I think could be likely, because it gives CDPR lots of freedom for stories.
I always thought in the worst eding, Ciri travels worlds with Avallach and discovers her power even more. It even makes more sense now that Ciri being alive is a stronger arguament than before. Also her losing trust against Geralt is a supporting fact for this arguament. Since she had no one left to trust that has no ties with Geralt other than Avallach this is the most strong theory for me.
I have a few quotes you may find interesting, from the book The Swallow Tower, which I'm currently reading. I've translated from Dutch. When Ciri is staying with the hermit Vysogota, and is telling of the time she was in the custody of Bonhart, she shows Vysogota her sword (a gnomish /gwyhyr/), which was given to her by Bonhart. She says: '[...] Look at what is engraved in the blade.' 'An elven mandala,' Vysogota said a little later. He looked up. 'A so-called /blathan caerme/, a garland of fate. The stylized inflorescence of oak, spirea, and broom. The tower in which the lightning strikes is, for the Old Race, a symbol of chaos and destruction... And above the tower...' 'A swallow,' Ciri completed his sentence. 'Zireael. My name.' Then, the blacksmith Esterhazy, who sells the sword, or rather is the one to actually gift the sword to Ciri, explains: 'I give it to you for free, Bonhart,' he eventually said, toneless. 'As a gift. So that what must be fulfilled may be fulfilled.' 'Thank you,' Bonhart answered, visibly surprised. 'Thank you, Esterhazy. A royal gift, truly royal... I gladly accept it. And I owe you.' 'No, you do not. The sword is for her, not for you. Come here, you girl with your dog collar. Look at the markings engraved on the blade. You, of course, do not understand these markings. But I will explain them to you. Look. The line of fate is tortuous but eventually leads to this tower here. To downfall, to the destruction of existing values, the existing order. And there above that tower, do you see that? A swallow. The symbol of hope. Take this sword. As I said: so that what must be fulfilled may be fulfilled.' Esterhazy then urges Ciri to take the blade, but Bonhart roughly intervenes, preventing her from drawing the blade. Perhaps out of fear? That would be uncharacteristic of him. But there is a definite sense of foreboding in these final lines. All in all, it reminds me a lot of the myth of Pandora's box: with the opening of the box, all bad things are released into the world, but also hope. So that humanity may know, no matter how bad things get, it will always get better, in the end. Not that the world of the Witcher lacks bad things, but perhaps it does lack something else: hope. I'll share more, if I come across anything relevant. It does seem plausible, at least, that this scene inspired the tapestry.
Man, your the greatest Witcher RUclipsr out here. I remember wehn I first played the Witcher 3 like 4 years ago, my first interaction with this beautiful world and I discovered your channel shortly after that and since then I followed your content. Since then I got more into this world, played all games, read the books and your channel always was by my side. It has to be that, they wouldn't kill ciri, never ever. Much love bro keep it up 💪👍👌
Amazing as always! Now this opens up a new question. If Ciri is the main character of Witcher 4, and knowing the tone of the books and games, will the bad ending be the Canon ending? Or will they more likely just have a small section acknowledging whichever ending you use?
for Witcher4 CDPR will do the exact same thing they did with the opening of W3 and ask you a few questions about how you finished W2. why you may ask? for the following reasons: 1 some people, total noobs to The Witcher World games... won't have every played W3 so how would a 'PC/GameConsole' scan of your saved games tell W4 which endings you got or which paths you took? 2 if i'm not mistaken ALL the game-saves, DLC, etc. for the new Xbox platform are or will be CLOUD BASED data. so CDPR would have to ask for your permission to access that data for W4 to read it and decide how you ended W3. 3 if you're like me and a member of The PC Master Race (and Letalis) and saved all your W3 data on separate External Hard-Drives (where all my saves are) or uploaded those saves to a Cloud Save... etc. etc. just like an Xbox with their Cloud Saves. then CDPR would have to code W4 to be able to scan your EHD(s) and find those saves. or W4 would REQUIRE you to connect them to your PC and so on. 4 CDPR did NOT make infinite logic tree branch changes between the various paths in W3 due to the few questions W3 asked you about how you played/made choices in W2. there weren't even five changes in the W3 quest/story paths. if you think about HOW MANY PATHS W3 Complete Edition had... Main Game, Heart of Stone, and Blood and Wine... if CDPR in W4 made separate logic tree diagrams for EVERYTHING in W3 Complete Edition? you'd need around an hour-long question and answer session IN-GAME! to ferret out all your choices. THEN CDPR would HAVE to make those different diagrams of the paths in W4 individually tailored to EACH OF THOSE PATHS you chose in W3. that would mean basically? W4 would have around 100 versions! no game studio is EVER going to be able to finish that project EVER!
For me the bird's silhouette looks definitely like a swallow, not a falcon, although obviously not in scale. Real bird would be perhaps just a point in this perspective, if visible at all (depending how far away it is but it's pretty high anyway).
Bro I have thought that Ciri survived ever since I saw the bad ending. It just didn't make sense to me that she could stop the White Frost and live in the good ending, but die in the bad one. Also I think the next game will be about Ciri so I doubted that they would have actually killed her. This is sick.
@@Adam-mx6yh How isnt there lmfao, the actions of people that you love can easily impact your performance when you´re to stay focused and dig deep to fulfill a crucial task on a deadline.
@@krishp1104 Yeah, maybe something with Cirilla but not as a main character. Drwal Rębajło have an excellent video about "Witcher 4" but sadly its not in english :( (Maybe subtitles idk)
Discussing the secret with people over at your Discord servers and then double checking the ideas in the game proper was the most fun I've had with the series in years regardless of how incorrect we were with our initial assumptions. Cheers for establishing a great community!
Saw the bird a few hours after you dropped the last video about the tapestry. Also think it may be a way to have Girl potentially alive. Really happy about it.
This was a wonderful video that took a lot of investigating into minute details to make, and thank you so much for doing this for us! On a related note (but not at all addressed to this creator, you are so awesome and have always made everyone feel welcome on your page) I’d like to remind everyone watching this to be kind to one another. I played this game for the first time about 4 years ago, and my initial impression was that Ciri survived the worst ending. Because why would Geralt’s actions have any effect on her ability to defeat the White Frost? This was all about their father-daughter relationship, and whether Ciri determines this world to be one worth living in. As seen before, she could go literally anywhere. So why return? For her family. That was my conclusion based on playing the game and reading the books. However, when I dared to voice this opinion on online forums years ago, you would struggle to believe the vile and disgusting things people said to me. Some of the ones that have stuck with me are “this is what happens when we let females play games, ever notice that these bitches always have the dumbest takes?” “no one asked also you’re wrong, step into traffic.” Endless “repeal the 19th” jokes, sexual comments, rape jokes, rape threats, death threats and general awful behavior in response to an opinion on a video game. It’s still mind blowing to me how anyone could justify saying that to a stranger, especially a kid. Watching this video now and seeing everyone celebrating and affirming this interpretation is super validating but also bittersweet. It has me reflecting on how poorly people often behave online, and specifically how people are willing to treat people from different backgrounds as if they don’t matter. Please keep in mind that the person with an opinion that you may think is silly, may one day be proven right. (it happened to me!) Most importantly, please take this as a reminder that no matter what, at the end of the day, it’s fiction. Being kind to other humans is more important than which ending you got. It would really be fantastic to enter into the era of Witcher 4 with a non-toxic fanbase that is excited to welcome anyone and everyone who loves these games, and is generally civil, no matter how braindead you may think some interpretations are lol. Peace and love, and have a wonderful day 💙
you commitment is so much appreciated! thank you for your interpretation(s). This game is an absolute masterpiece and you're a connaisseur! but I doubt it's the last last laaast secret (and hope so..)
I actually never doubted that ciri survives the worst ending. I don't see how your choices as a player could lead to her death, but I can see how she would decide to just not return if you let her down too much. She can go anywhere and is definitely an emotional enough person to make such a drastic decision. It's nice to have some confirmation though, excellent job!
I think this solves the mystery. Hard to find another interpretation for the swallow flying away from the tower. I don't like that Geralt, the crone and the game deceive us though. They all suggested Ciri's death. Why would the Weavess create such tapestry with her alive?.. But, as other people say, the destiny of the child of the Elder blood should not depend on small decisions of a witcher. This makes sense, and this I like. It is a bit a pity that one can't probably see this detail unless using a mod to view at the right angle and a large zoom. I bought a 4k monitor and built my PC specially for TW3, but could not see this detail in game (and even on my screenshot). But if one from the community does it, this is still fine! I am a longtime fan of the Witcher universe and your and other people's videos on that, so it is a great joy and honour for me to be a part of the last game secret finding!
7 years on and there are still things to discover. I doubt we will ever see a second game like TW3. Great video, as always. As soon as you are around, there won't be undiscovered secrets in this game.
Damn, right now I found out that you are still recording! I was watching your Witcher 3 videos like 5-6 years ago and RUclips recommended me this vid. Good job man, you are a absolute legend
Five years I thought she was dead but Sh!t man that’s so dark; “she left him for being bad to her and he died while searching for the medallion” This game really teaches you a thing or two
If this is IT your theory, that all endings could take place after another could be more realistic than it seems back then. Maby they reveal it now because it is actually important for the next Witcher Game and Ciri will be part of it. In this way they could make that happen without choosing one of the endigs to be canon becouse Ciri even survives the worst ending. And by the way I don’t believe that Geralt dies in the worst ending as well, because he can tell Regis that Ciri would be dead in Blod and Wine.
@@xLetalis by the way does Geralt really dies in the worst ending? When you speak with Regis in Blood and Wine dlc about Ciri in the campfire in the end Geralt mentions her supposed death so he survived all the monsters that ambushed him, isht that right?
That's great! It's actually important to the story as well and not just a small detail. And you even managed to add the Sell Ciri scene in a way that adds to what you're explaining XD
Here's what I think about the patched secret coming in the Complete Edition: At some point after getting the bad ending, we'll probably see an unusually bright coloured swallow sitting somewhere and as we get near her, she flies away. The question will be: Where do we look for her? Where does she fly to after escaping from the tower?
Tbh, i preffer the idea that she dies if you get the bad ending. And if you wanna know why, i think it makes it way more emotional. The fact that Ciri can't leave the frozen world because her memories with you were painfull? That's really sad, and makes it different than just letting her live everytime, also being of big consequence...
That's so cool! I didn't know that. I have heard that she theoretically survived the worst ending. She just didn't want to come back to her life. I've played thru the game 6 times and I never noticed any of that stuff with Weavess. Super cool.
Well, about the bad ending for a some time I was quite sure Ciri has survived and simply did not wanted to come back to Geralt etc. Yet I thought her death would be more fit to "the worst ending". Now it seems theory saying all endings are the same become more possible. And that's interesting. And I wonder what if devs are keeping add new secrets to the game all the time without any notifications? Maybe this is why they couldn't focus enough on polishing Cyberpunk?
I really like that; thinking Ciri survived by was so hurt by Geralt's attitude she just never returned. I'll never get the worst ending again but it's amazing from a story telling standpoint. You really are amazing man.
It may very well be the final secret even if the devs never confirm it. It will maintain the uncertainty all the way up to the potential appearance from Ciri in the next Witcher game.
Here’s what I think it maybe… she lived she will be the lead in w4 and here’s why I believe so. In the “bad” ending it’s “assumed garelt dies correct? Ok so what if he DOES die and in W4 ceri returns to find out what happen to him… strapped with guilt she opens her own school to keep his memory and deeds alive… just a thought.
Congrats!! I’ve never been so excited following a series of detective-y videos like this, and I think the whole community here is super proud and thankful to you Letalis for all your devotion and work! Fantastic stuff.
Wait so this means if Witcher 4 has Ciri as the protagonist... All 3 endings CAN be canon. Or maybe the theory of all three endings happening consecutively is true.
Bravo! I knew you would find it. It makes sense....CDPR did say it was related to the main storyline. So it was never going to be some minor character or detail
HELLZ YEAHHH X!!!! You're DA MAN!!!!!! ALSO............after this they can quite easily make Ciri teleport there at the last second to save him in this ending and this way both would be alive at the end and could be there in the next game without really retconning anything!
YOu sir are genius I cant believe you got this. Not sure what is more amazing attention to details in this game, or all work you put into this game and youtube channel.
I still remember my first play through of the Witcher 3 all those years ago and I got the worst ending, but honestly I always felt that Ciri was alive somewhere
I must make another comment. Its really mind blowing how majority of players dont even realise how much attention to details developers put into this game. I think only gamers that follow this channel can truly understand that.
These videos show how much you love The Witcher 3. Finding all the small details and showing it to us. As many have said before inthe coments section: You are a Legend. Thank you so much for all these facts and details :)
I mean if you think about it the Ithlinne's prophecy was completed, The world died to the White Cold, and was reborn from the elden Blood, except Its not the world we play in, and where Geralt lives, Its the world where Ciri teleports in the ending.

Hurry up witcher 3 update!!! and HUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY UPPPPPPP Witcher 4, THIS MAN HAS work to do! Seriously, I love this content, I love this world, this game and story are so great, only made better by channels like this. Also, props to NeonNight, also must see content.
We know it is still not the final final final secret
Ps: Xletalis an absolute freakin legend
He is my favorite pimp!
Actually, this time I really think it's the final final secret. But is it the final final final secret? Definitely not.
As long as he keeps finding them, CDPR will keep adding them. :D
A viewer found the actual texture of the tapestry, where the bird is more clearly visible, and it is definitely a swallow, you can see the signature tail if you zoom in:
pbs.twimg.com/media/FYhYRYIXkAcvpTx?format=jpg&name=large
That’s class
Dood u are crazy
if that bird is Ciri... it is flying away... so 'The Worst of the Worst Endings' is Ciri defeating the White Frost but then leaving The Witcher World yet again for another multiverse vacation... but this time Ciri is never coming back.
this is why i think that. Ciri has nothing to return to. both Triss and Yen hate and dump Geralt for being unable to choose either one. Geralt sold Ciri off to Emrys. etc. etc. if Ciri went back to live with Triss as a 'lil sister' or with Yen as a 'daughter' and Geralt actually died... both ladies would be sad or bitter or angry at Geralt for dying like that. those feelings would eventually (both are sorceresses and would live for many many years, perhaps even Ciri would too) poison Ciri's relationship(s) with the Sorceress(es).
Ciri would also have to face off with her father Emrys at some point, or whatever form of government/heir the Nilfs chose after her daddy gets assassinated or abdicates or whatever. so, some royalists or some faction would see Ciri as some obstacle or figurehead or something for Nilfgaardian domination or something.
if she goes 'world-hopping' i bet Ciri ends up someplace warm, with beaches, scantily clad boys and girls to frolic with, lots of good food, good sex, and good booze... and she just lays around and indulges herself in all the fun things she didn't get to do due to her 'destiny and lineage etc.' because she's done with all of that. her story is over and she didn't get to live happily ever after. well, except for leaving all her previous cares behind and enjoying herself for the rest of her life.
It's a bird ! It's a plane ! No, it's symbolism for Ciri not dying in the worst ending !
Shame on me. I just wanted to say that i would love some of your favourite parts as a director's cut playthrough, but i didnt know you have the whole playthrough up as well 🤦♂️..which will be my main playlist for the next time when i have time to binge it :D
😘
imagine they're just dangling secrets just to drive letalis mad
Well I did replay all parts involving the crones about 34 times over the past 3 days so... it's working
Head Canon: the white frost emanates from a fissure in a distant world. Throughout the game, your choices are affecting ciris mood and emotions, or rather what she remembers in the final moments of the campaign. These moments are important, because Ciris emotional state affects how she stops the white frost. When ciri goes to the frost, she is setting her elder blood aflame to burn the fissure where the white frost originates from. If Ciri is happy, (i.e good ending), her positive emotions catalyzes her elder blood, burning the white frost without damaging her at all. If you choose the bad ending, Ciri has memories of strife and anger in her final moments, and when she burns the white frost, it consumes her. Thats how I interpreted it.
Damn this ending is even darker considering Ciri abandons Geralt. I find that even worse for him personally, that he really ends up abandoned.
Can't help but let my imagination run off now. What if Geralt sees the tapestry at the end?
@@stianberg5645 for me now this is the biggest mystery in this ending
If he saw tapestry he would pick his sword and makes his way out but he won't search for ciri he will leave her alone and even he won't tell anybody what he knew like in b&w When Regis asked him about ciri he never mentioned what happened after defeating the wild hunt
Like in b&w when Regis asked him
Not necessarily even abandoned. Maybe Ciri needed some alone time instead of going straight back to Geralt!
i know that is truly a bad ending! so if somehow citi and geralt are somehow involved in witcher 4 and they meet, assuming there both still alive i wonder how this would play out
I guess this means Ciri possesses polymorphism.
If only she used that ability fleeing the hunt and finding Geralt.
You are a legend.
Well done, yet again
I hope so ;]
@@xLetalis I was sure she survived !! Honestly, I hope this is the "secret", because in my both playthroughs, I always ended up getting the "bad" ending... But it may be the sad, it never said she died in the White Frost ! What a relief, 7 years after ! Thank you very much for you research !! 👍🏿👍🏿
I'm so glad this community exists, especially this channel. Cheers for all the videos.
The best ending for the main game in my opinion. It is implied that Ciri and Geralt died but left ambiguous. However, you don't have to be a bad Geralt to get the ending. All you have to do is have a drink with Ciri, go with her to the Lodge's meeting, and not trash the elf's lab.
Exactly what i did! I hate the ending because of this. Couldnt understand ciros final reaction at all, stupid rebellious kid
But Geralt would never make all those shitty decisions that require you to get this ending either way
@@paradigmshift7907 read my comment again. Those are decisions anyone could make.
@@jessel3621 I get it I’m just saying it’s unrealistic in terms of Geralt’s character
@@paradigmshift7907 I mean, unless Yennefer tells him to. :'D
its quite interesting how in the worst ending, both characters who we presume are dead (Geralt and Ciri) survive however like you said there's a very good chance their relationship is completely shattered, also incredible work as always, genuinely incredible how much work you have put in for not only making the videos but also finding a bunch of hard to find secrets :)
you can find out Geralt does survive the worst ending btw because you can still use a worst ending save on Blood and Wine and you get extra dialogue with Dandelion about it :)
Does Geralt survive?
@@carlogiurizzato2441 You're right, there certainly seem to be more than one swallow. Hopefully it doesn't matter. You know when Geralt killed Weaves, some kind of birds(ravens I think), came flying out of her. I really doubt it, but could it be that Ciri found her end in the tower after all and swallows came flying out of her?? Hopefully not, but that's the only thing I can think of. Tell me what you think.
@@menpower1 course he does. There's a potential ending to B&W where if you achieved the framed "Worst ending" dandelion shows up at the end of the main quest when you visit corvo bianco after your very last conversation with Regis. This only happens if you cheated on both Yennefer and Triss and Ciri isn't avaliable a.k.a the worst ending so yes.
You think a few lousy monsters can take Geralt out for good lmao.
@@aerondightlit6014 Ah right, that's true. I guess CDPR wanted to be ambiguous about Gerald's fate in the worst ending up till they realized that it would jeopardize their plan for the B&W expansion
@@aerondightlit6014 The only reason the worst ending had an impact on one of the Blood & Wine ending's is so the player could have something to look forward to in the end. CDPR wanted every player to be treated equally and never left out. So I don't think it's meant to be taking literally. I still think the worst ending is still relaying the message that Geralt died & Ciri left. The story of Blood & Wine is meant to follow up on the first two endings, that's just my opinion. I think the fans would be irritated or enraged if they found out that they couldn't access the b&w expansion cause they got the bad ending. CDPR wanted everyone to be treated fairly for a happily ever after but I still don't think Dandelion appearing is the follow-up continuity of the worst ending, but an alternative.
Not going to lie, I started to tear up at the thought of Ciri still surviving. This would be a great intro for the new game. Opening up with a scene of her flying away and then starting her own Witcher school. But your journey isn't over and there will be more secrets to find. Thank You for this incredible channel and all the hard work you've done over the past years xLetalis. Hope you and your family are doing well and until the next time...
Awsome work my man ! Damn the bad endings is even more painfull now. Even more motivation to try and get the good endings.
The next witcher better have this kinds of secerts so we can enjoy more of your great videos for years to come.
Hearing that Kaer Morhen really brings out emotions of beautiful nostalgia and loss at the same time. Kinda of like the idea of a last secret to be found. I wish a remaster for all three games could be made into another edition. This is the best game ever made. Hands down. Thanks for keeping it so alive
I know it is never going to happen, but I would love to be able to restore Kaer Morhen to it's full beauty in the next game, and maybe even rebuild the School of the Wolf there too.
This is huge, my first playthrough was the "bad" ending. I felt so bad thinking she's dead, now I feel better
Me too. I felt like a family member died, Had to play through again.
@@marcosscorzoni3465 Yeah I did so to, but deep down I know that the 1st playthrough is always the real one because that one was from the heart. Anyways, I hope this is confimred, because then I know I'm not a shitty father lol
Your determination and eagle eyed (or should I say “falcon eyed” to stay on theme with the video 😉) dedication will never not astound and delight me!! Well done!!
Hey man, I wanted to say thank you, not just for all the work you put into your videos, but something personal as well.
My dad passed from cancer only 2 months ago, and your content has been keeping some interest in TW3 for me that I would have lost otherwise to depression.
More importantly to me though, the screencap at 3:48 about the symbolism of swallows. I’ve noticed them more ever since I lost my grandmother over 10 years ago.
What I’m trying to say I guess, is that the world has a funny way of showing us the things we need to see.
I’ve had a few especially rough days lately, but I’ve noticed a swallow flying near me a lot of the time when I’m outside. I hadn’t quite realised there could be a bit more to it than coincidence.
It’s given me a sense of peace, to see that wherever he was going next, he got there safely. Thank you for sharing the info in this video. Much love, and I can’t thank you enough. 💛
so sorry for your losses. that chance at rebirth and happiness is also yours to seize. much love to you.
💛💛💛
Her weaving of a tapestry may also mean something like changing fate. In Greek and Norse mythologies (the Nornir in Norse, and the Fates in Greek mythology) are often depicted quite literally weaving fate. When a person's fate is altered or a new chapter in their life is being written. So, Weavess (like come on, weave is even in her name) making a tapestry about Ciri shows that something has indeed been altered in Ciri's life. The sisters in both these mythologies are always three, like the witches themselves; let's be honest, they altered many lives around them. I'm guessing that Weavess is supposed to be Clotho from Greek mythology, the one who spins the tread, Whispess may be Lachesis, the one who dispenses the thread and Brewess might be Atropos, the one who cuts the thread, ending the life of a person. But this last bit is just my little theory. I do strongly believe in the weaving of the tapestry though, the fact that she was still making it, means Ciri's life hasn't ended and that it's left unfinished means that anything can happen now since all the sisters are dead. But... what's sad is that Ciri didn't come back to Geralt. Is she disappointed? Sad?
Thank you for your comment. But still I have no clue why the Weavess would weave a tapestry about Ciri to begin with. What's the purpose and use for her?
@@oliver.n278 Ciri is probably the most important being in the witcher universe if not one of the most important. She is the only person alive with Lara Dorren's blood and she was the only one who could stop the white frost, the literal end of the world. I'd say she's quite important. Also, she killed Weavess' sisters so she means something to her anyhow.
interesting!
@@bigppisha All true. But what is the tapestry then useful for the weavess?
@@oliver.n278 I'm not sure, perhaps she was compelled to make it? Like you know how witches go looney when they get a vision? She doesn't seem like the most stable woman. Haha, just a theory though.
His outro always gets to me. Shows how genuine he is.
The thought of Ciri surviving the worst ending and not returning to Geralt breaks my heart in more ways than one
exactly!
But it doesn't fit her character at all.
@@GnaedigerJupp Nor does geralt treating her the way you have to to cause the worst ending; what's your point?? "If geralt acts terribly out of character to her she responds in a way she normally wouldn't to him because he's not himself anymore" is the most non-statement ever dude.
@@gallavanting2041on my first play through I wasn’t bad to her but I was over protective. I didn’t take the coin either, her abandoning Geralt is so teenager-esque
@@rigajykra3159 which she is.
Jesus, this is like the most significant secret of the game and nobody found out for so many years. Amazing job dude
Me squinting at the tiny white 9 pixel smudge ive never noticed before: "Ah, yes. Clearly. A sparrow. Of the Lincoln variety, it seems. Spizella Brewery to be specific. Around 2 years of age, clear weathering on the feathers, depicting a hard life."
One of the things I've thought about a lot is a passage in the books that talks about how the seas have really rough water when Pavetta, Calanthe, and Adalia die - and that's how Crach an Craite knew Calanthe had passed. I always wondered if the seas would act the same if you have gotten the bad ending...
And also if it was that Ciri took on the alyas of Falka it would work with the phrasing "Zirael is dead" swallow is dead and now she is Falka
As someone who got the "worst" ending on my first attempt, I have to say I didnt realize that it was the worst one until I googled the other possible endings. To me it was clear as day that Ciri was gone but not dead. I mean, I was still sad but she was never dead to me. Oh, I also reloaded a couple hours back and decided on the Witcher ending for Ciri.
I got the worst one during my first play through
Ciri being alive in all the endings makes it possible for her to be in the next Witcher game regardless of the world state you had at the end of The Witcher 3, which is pretty cool.
I don't think so. Witcher 4 could take place long before the events of Geralt which I think could be likely, because it gives CDPR lots of freedom for stories.
I always thought in the worst eding, Ciri travels worlds with Avallach and discovers her power even more. It even makes more sense now that Ciri being alive is a stronger arguament than before. Also her losing trust against Geralt is a supporting fact for this arguament. Since she had no one left to trust that has no ties with Geralt other than Avallach this is the most strong theory for me.
4:55 it‘s not a letalis video without ciri getting sold
I have a few quotes you may find interesting, from the book The Swallow Tower, which I'm currently reading. I've translated from Dutch.
When Ciri is staying with the hermit Vysogota, and is telling of the time she was in the custody of Bonhart, she shows Vysogota her sword (a gnomish /gwyhyr/), which was given to her by Bonhart. She says:
'[...] Look at what is engraved in the blade.'
'An elven mandala,' Vysogota said a little later. He looked up. 'A so-called /blathan caerme/, a garland of fate. The stylized inflorescence of oak, spirea, and broom. The tower in which the lightning strikes is, for the Old Race, a symbol of chaos and destruction... And above the tower...'
'A swallow,' Ciri completed his sentence. 'Zireael. My name.'
Then, the blacksmith Esterhazy, who sells the sword, or rather is the one to actually gift the sword to Ciri, explains:
'I give it to you for free, Bonhart,' he eventually said, toneless. 'As a gift. So that what must be fulfilled may be fulfilled.'
'Thank you,' Bonhart answered, visibly surprised. 'Thank you, Esterhazy. A royal gift, truly royal... I gladly accept it. And I owe you.'
'No, you do not. The sword is for her, not for you. Come here, you girl with your dog collar. Look at the markings engraved on the blade. You, of course, do not understand these markings. But I will explain them to you. Look. The line of fate is tortuous but eventually leads to this tower here. To downfall, to the destruction of existing values, the existing order. And there above that tower, do you see that? A swallow. The symbol of hope. Take this sword. As I said: so that what must be fulfilled may be fulfilled.'
Esterhazy then urges Ciri to take the blade, but Bonhart roughly intervenes, preventing her from drawing the blade. Perhaps out of fear? That would be uncharacteristic of him. But there is a definite sense of foreboding in these final lines.
All in all, it reminds me a lot of the myth of Pandora's box: with the opening of the box, all bad things are released into the world, but also hope. So that humanity may know, no matter how bad things get, it will always get better, in the end. Not that the world of the Witcher lacks bad things, but perhaps it does lack something else: hope.
I'll share more, if I come across anything relevant. It does seem plausible, at least, that this scene inspired the tapestry.
Man, your the greatest Witcher RUclipsr out here. I remember wehn I first played the Witcher 3 like 4 years ago, my first interaction with this beautiful world and I discovered your channel shortly after that and since then I followed your content. Since then I got more into this world, played all games, read the books and your channel always was by my side. It has to be that, they wouldn't kill ciri, never ever. Much love bro keep it up 💪👍👌
Amazing as always! Now this opens up a new question. If Ciri is the main character of Witcher 4, and knowing the tone of the books and games, will the bad ending be the Canon ending? Or will they more likely just have a small section acknowledging whichever ending you use?
for Witcher4 CDPR will do the exact same thing they did with the opening of W3 and ask you a few questions about how you finished W2.
why you may ask? for the following reasons:
1 some people, total noobs to The Witcher World games... won't have every played W3 so how would a 'PC/GameConsole' scan of your saved games tell W4 which endings you got or which paths you took?
2 if i'm not mistaken ALL the game-saves, DLC, etc. for the new Xbox platform are or will be CLOUD BASED data. so CDPR would have to ask for your permission to access that data for W4 to read it and decide how you ended W3.
3 if you're like me and a member of The PC Master Race (and Letalis) and saved all your W3 data on separate External Hard-Drives (where all my saves are) or uploaded those saves to a Cloud Save... etc. etc. just like an Xbox with their Cloud Saves. then CDPR would have to code W4 to be able to scan your EHD(s) and find those saves. or W4 would REQUIRE you to connect them to your PC and so on.
4 CDPR did NOT make infinite logic tree branch changes between the various paths in W3 due to the few questions W3 asked you about how you played/made choices in W2. there weren't even five changes in the W3 quest/story paths. if you think about HOW MANY PATHS W3 Complete Edition had... Main Game, Heart of Stone, and Blood and Wine... if CDPR in W4 made separate logic tree diagrams for EVERYTHING in W3 Complete Edition? you'd need around an hour-long question and answer session IN-GAME! to ferret out all your choices. THEN CDPR would HAVE to make those different diagrams of the paths in W4 individually tailored to EACH OF THOSE PATHS you chose in W3. that would mean basically? W4 would have around 100 versions! no game studio is EVER going to be able to finish that project EVER!
such a devotion, sticking with this game for such a long time
Maybe he should have kept the location a secret and just said there was one mystery left. Just to keep us going until complete edition lol.
Birds, birds... 4:10 The way Vivienne is moving her hips is fantastic.
For me the bird's silhouette looks definitely like a swallow, not a falcon, although obviously not in scale. Real bird would be perhaps just a point in this perspective, if visible at all (depending how far away it is but it's pretty high anyway).
Crazy that something this significant hasn't been found for 7 years
Bro I have thought that Ciri survived ever since I saw the bad ending. It just didn't make sense to me that she could stop the White Frost and live in the good ending, but die in the bad one. Also I think the next game will be about Ciri so I doubted that they would have actually killed her. This is sick.
Next game is confirmed to be about lynx school witcher so can't be Ciri
@@Adam-mx6yh How isnt there lmfao, the actions of people that you love can easily impact your performance when you´re to stay focused and dig deep to fulfill a crucial task on a deadline.
@@krishp1104 is it tho? yes, the teaser depicted the lynx medalion, but ciri had one in the books and ingame. You can't be really sure
@@rami8896 I mean B&W is set after the main game, there is a part where Geralt talks to Regis about how Ciri and he stopped the white frost
@@krishp1104 Yeah, maybe something with Cirilla but not as a main character. Drwal Rębajło have an excellent video about "Witcher 4" but sadly its not in english :( (Maybe subtitles idk)
Discussing the secret with people over at your Discord servers and then double checking the ideas in the game proper was the most fun I've had with the series in years regardless of how incorrect we were with our initial assumptions.
Cheers for establishing a great community!
Hello there :) It is largely thanks to people like you
@@xLetalis Given such a nice response you are free to imagine Alex Jones in my avatar blushing.
This was nice timing for me, i just finished a play through where i got this ending for the first time, and got to watch this good video.
So we're about to get annoucment about next game soon!
Amazing find XLetalis!!!
Saw the bird a few hours after you dropped the last video about the tapestry.
Also think it may be a way to have Girl potentially alive.
Really happy about it.
I cant believe this, somehow the last secret is related to selling out Ciri, xLetails was onto it this whole time.
a polish gaming website wrote about this easter egg and your video! congrats on that!❤️
thank you
This was a wonderful video that took a lot of investigating into minute details to make, and thank you so much for doing this for us! On a related note (but not at all addressed to this creator, you are so awesome and have always made everyone feel welcome on your page)
I’d like to remind everyone watching this to be kind to one another. I played this game for the first time about 4 years ago, and my initial impression was that Ciri survived the worst ending. Because why would Geralt’s actions have any effect on her ability to defeat the White Frost? This was all about their father-daughter relationship, and whether Ciri determines this world to be one worth living in. As seen before, she could go literally anywhere. So why return? For her family. That was my conclusion based on playing the game and reading the books.
However, when I dared to voice this opinion on online forums years ago, you would struggle to believe the vile and disgusting things people said to me. Some of the ones that have stuck with me are “this is what happens when we let females play games, ever notice that these bitches always have the dumbest takes?” “no one asked also you’re wrong, step into traffic.” Endless “repeal the 19th” jokes, sexual comments, rape jokes, rape threats, death threats and general awful behavior in response to an opinion on a video game.
It’s still mind blowing to me how anyone could justify saying that to a stranger, especially a kid. Watching this video now and seeing everyone celebrating and affirming this interpretation is super validating but also bittersweet. It has me reflecting on how poorly people often behave online, and specifically how people are willing to treat people from different backgrounds as if they don’t matter. Please keep in mind that the person with an opinion that you may think is silly, may one day be proven right. (it happened to me!) Most importantly, please take this as a reminder that no matter what, at the end of the day, it’s fiction. Being kind to other humans is more important than which ending you got.
It would really be fantastic to enter into the era of Witcher 4 with a non-toxic fanbase that is excited to welcome anyone and everyone who loves these games, and is generally civil, no matter how braindead you may think some interpretations are lol. Peace and love, and have a wonderful day 💙
5:00 of course you HAD to include that once again!!! I should've known...
By far my favorite game and you are by far the best person to talk about it
you commitment is so much appreciated! thank you for your interpretation(s). This game is an absolute masterpiece and you're a connaisseur! but I doubt it's the last last laaast secret (and hope so..)
I actually never doubted that ciri survives the worst ending. I don't see how your choices as a player could lead to her death, but I can see how she would decide to just not return if you let her down too much. She can go anywhere and is definitely an emotional enough person to make such a drastic decision.
It's nice to have some confirmation though, excellent job!
I think this solves the mystery. Hard to find another interpretation for the swallow flying away from the tower.
I don't like that Geralt, the crone and the game deceive us though. They all suggested Ciri's death. Why would the Weavess create such tapestry with her alive?..
But, as other people say, the destiny of the child of the Elder blood should not depend on small decisions of a witcher. This makes sense, and this I like.
It is a bit a pity that one can't probably see this detail unless using a mod to view at the right angle and a large zoom. I bought a 4k monitor and built my PC specially for TW3, but could not see this detail in game (and even on my screenshot). But if one from the community does it, this is still fine!
I am a longtime fan of the Witcher universe and your and other people's videos on that, so it is a great joy and honour for me to be a part of the last game secret finding!
Thank you for being here, helping and giving ideas
7 years on and there are still things to discover. I doubt we will ever see a second game like TW3. Great video, as always. As soon as you are around, there won't be undiscovered secrets in this game.
Love your content man ❤️
Thank you for all of your Witcher videos! This was amazing and heart clinching.
What did i say that day? Final FINAL SECRET
and it will keep coming.
Damn, right now I found out that you are still recording! I was watching your Witcher 3 videos like 5-6 years ago and RUclips recommended me this vid. Good job man, you are a absolute legend
Five years I thought she was dead but
Sh!t man that’s so dark; “she left him for being bad to her and he died while searching for the medallion”
This game really teaches you a thing or two
Congratulations to you and your friend . After all those years. Great work :)
If this is IT your theory, that all endings could take place after another could be more realistic than it seems back then. Maby they reveal it now because it is actually important for the next Witcher Game and Ciri will be part of it. In this way they could make that happen without choosing one of the endigs to be canon becouse Ciri even survives the worst ending. And by the way I don’t believe that Geralt dies in the worst ending as well, because he can tell Regis that Ciri would be dead in Blod and Wine.
I knew when I saw that tapestry in my first playthrough that it had to mean something. Now we know.
It's always a good day when xLetalis releases another Witcher 3 video. Thank you for all the Witcher 3 videos you've put out these past 7 years.
I'm really glad I found your channel years ago. Absolute golden content as always 💙
So is this really the end of your Witcher videos? I think it seems not, we all know you will never stop finding the secrets of "The Path"
unlikely ;]
@@xLetalis by the way does Geralt really dies in the worst ending? When you speak with Regis in Blood and Wine dlc about Ciri in the campfire in the end Geralt mentions her supposed death so he survived all the monsters that ambushed him, isht that right?
@@MutantCyborg001 Does he mention it? It won't be a surprise if he does I guess
That's great! It's actually important to the story as well and not just a small detail. And you even managed to add the Sell Ciri scene in a way that adds to what you're explaining XD
Another banger from xLetalis! Thank you for this
MY GOD YOU ABSOLUTE MADLAD. YOU'RE A REAL LEGEND FOR THIS GAME XLETALIS
Here's what I think about the patched secret coming in the Complete Edition: At some point after getting the bad ending, we'll probably see an unusually bright coloured swallow sitting somewhere and as we get near her, she flies away. The question will be: Where do we look for her? Where does she fly to after escaping from the tower?
That is really awesome! As you said, quite a tragic detail for the ending - never would have guessed!
Wao you really make it!!!! Lots of congrats!!! Awesome video as always!👏
Tbh, i preffer the idea that she dies if you get the bad ending. And if you wanna know why, i think it makes it way more emotional.
The fact that Ciri can't leave the frozen world because her memories with you were painfull? That's really sad, and makes it different than just letting her live everytime, also being of big consequence...
I can relate, yes
@@xLetalis That's pretty cool to hear ngl
I think Ciri not dying is even sadder. That means she voluntarily chose not to return to Geralt.
That's so cool! I didn't know that. I have heard that she theoretically survived the worst ending. She just didn't want to come back to her life. I've played thru the game 6 times and I never noticed any of that stuff with Weavess. Super cool.
Well, about the bad ending for a some time I was quite sure Ciri has survived and simply did not wanted to come back to Geralt etc. Yet I thought her death would be more fit to "the worst ending". Now it seems theory saying all endings are the same become more possible. And that's interesting.
And I wonder what if devs are keeping add new secrets to the game all the time without any notifications? Maybe this is why they couldn't focus enough on polishing Cyberpunk?
This game continue to amaze me even after 7 years ! But it wouldn't have been possible without you and the community congrats !!!
I really like that; thinking Ciri survived by was so hurt by Geralt's attitude she just never returned. I'll never get the worst ending again but it's amazing from a story telling standpoint.
You really are amazing man.
I subbed a long time ago for SWTOR videos, very cool that I get some closure for getting the bad ending on my first playthrough
I knew it and I have always said it, she survived but just didnt want to be with Geralt
It may very well be the final secret even if the devs never confirm it. It will maintain the uncertainty all the way up to the potential appearance from Ciri in the next Witcher game.
mad respect for you, I'm so proud being one of ur follower since so many years, thank you
Congrats on the find, bro!
Here’s what I think it maybe… she lived she will be the lead in w4 and here’s why I believe so.
In the “bad” ending it’s “assumed garelt dies correct? Ok so what if he DOES die and in W4 ceri returns to find out what happen to him… strapped with guilt she opens her own school to keep his memory and deeds alive… just a thought.
Congrats!! I’ve never been so excited following a series of detective-y videos like this, and I think the whole community here is super proud and thankful to you Letalis for all your devotion and work! Fantastic stuff.
Awesome work, knew you could do it! Only other thing I can think of is that Ciri is indeed alive but left for our world to meet up Galahad again
Another great work from the witcher detective xLetalis
Hope to see confirmation in the next-gen upgrade maybe an entire new quest 😄
Wait so this means if Witcher 4 has Ciri as the protagonist... All 3 endings CAN be canon. Or maybe the theory of all three endings happening consecutively is true.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that the consecutively part is true, but all can be canon now I suppose
What’s the theory…
That coin counting got me again but great video man u are a legend
I won‘t believe you until Witcher 4 is out 😂 and even then you will find more Witcher 3 secrets bet?
Bravo! I knew you would find it. It makes sense....CDPR did say it was related to the main storyline. So it was never going to be some minor character or detail
Xletalis, thanks for everything.. you are an absolute legend among this community, whom you have contributed greatly!
Wow, that was so fast! Well done!!!!
HELLZ YEAHHH X!!!! You're DA MAN!!!!!!
ALSO............after this they can quite easily make Ciri teleport there at the last second to save him in this ending and this way both would be alive at the end and could be there in the next game without really retconning anything!
YOu sir are genius I cant believe you got this.
Not sure what is more amazing attention to details in this game, or all work you put into this game and youtube channel.
Liked before it even started cause I knew this would be another banger
You are legendary bro. I would very much like to meet you one day. Thank you for making these videos and keeping this game alive after so many years.
I still remember my first play through of the Witcher 3 all those years ago and I got the worst ending, but honestly I always felt that Ciri was alive somewhere
I must make another comment. Its really mind blowing how majority of players dont even realise how much attention to details developers put into this game. I think only gamers that follow this channel can truly understand that.
These videos show how much you love The Witcher 3. Finding all the small details and showing it to us. As many have said before inthe coments section: You are a Legend.
Thank you so much for all these facts and details :)
OMG I'M early in this historical moment.
You're awesome my man.
amazing! i thought, maybe we could find some birds near the tower and try to talk to them, but the news that Ciri is alive after all is huge!
I mean if you think about it the Ithlinne's prophecy was completed, The world died to the White Cold, and was reborn from the elden Blood, except Its not the world we play in, and where Geralt lives, Its the world where Ciri teleports in the ending.
