10 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Secrets Many Players Missed

[@AvrgeGamr]

Tax man: Have you ever waltzed into someone's home and took their goods? Me after waltzing into someone's home: nope never.

[@johnhansen4794]

I assumed it was witcher lore that peasants left gifts for nosey witchers to find.

[@donwild50]

Interesting the tax gatherer's name is "Walthemor Mitty." Wonder if this is a flashback to the 1940's story and movie "The Private Life of Walter Mitty" where an employee of a publisher of adventure books and stories constantly flashes into fantasies where he is a dashing hero...swashbuckler, fighter ace, private detective. In a way he could represent all of us...cause we all fantasize about being a near superhuman Witcher named Geralt.

[@Onionbaron]

Tax man, that's a real hero! 😊

"Nope.. just there to blow off their candles"

While at the sky cells I looted a parchment off one of the pirates that name dropped Cthulhu and gave mention to 'The Ancient Gods'. The parchment also said more sacrifices were needed. Wondered if it was meant to be part of a mission that never got developed, but was planned, much like The Devils Pit (glad that did finish that mission and put it in the game). The parchment also said more sacrifices were needed

i love that it came out in 2015, but there’s still things i didn’t know about this game in 2022. after 350+ hours of gameplay. 🐐

Secret 6 : the weeping angels must be a refernce to creatures/monsters of the same name in the Doctor Who sci-fi series.

[@balsaljumovic2042]

I thought the same,i watched the episode😁

[@abstractnonsense3253]

It is. They do exactly what the weeping angels of Doctor Who do. When you're not looking they move. When you look, they freeze.

[@CesarMoura3]

The last secret hits really hard in the feeling, that heartfelt farewell to Geralt and the fans from the devs. That with the "Fanflares and Flowers" from Toussaint playing over... Makes me cry. It really does. No other game does this to you, what an amazing masterpiece. I´d even say this is not a game, it´s a godly experience that everyone should live through.

[@petreavadan3584]

Same thoughts here. Most wonderful game ever made. I always have to skip "Fanfares and Flowers", hits me everytime way to much

[@butternutsquash17]

Bit far

[@Johndoe-ju7ym]

"Godly experience"..you totally ruined your comment with that stupid over exaggeration

[@adamsmith-wi3qg]

One of the most frustrating things about this game is that there are many quests that you can unwittingly miss depending on previous choices. There's one on skellige ("trading in flesh" maybe?) that disappears if you complete "following the thread", which most people complete early. No idea why the devs would do this...

[@nimbupaani6335]

Worst than this is sometimes you fail quest without completing because of choices you make, this is even more frustratiing.

[@adamsmith-wi3qg]

@@nimbupaani6335 yes I've failed gangs of novigrad before bc I didn't feel like working with cleaver. Doesn't affect the overall story but I hate having any "failed quests" on my quest menu.

[@joshdowney9994]

I suspect it’s for replay value and continuity

[@dontworryaboutit5490]

I like it, because just like in real life, the choices you make, can make it to where other choices will not be possible to occur. Plus that’s what new game + is for

[@awsomeboy360]

[@Bacadami]

You just keep rapid firing great content don’t you Fizhy? You’re so underrated it’s crazy

[@ObeyCamp]

Man, this game is just Mind blowing sometimes. Even if someone is aware of every secret on this list, there's almost certainly stuff out there they haven't seen unless they're either some crazy dataminer or they've seen every iteration of the "ten secrets" video. I'm quickly approaching 1000 hours in The Witcher 3 and in my current playthrough I just found a full-on side quest I've never played, AND a loading screen I hadn't ever seen (you know, where Dandelion reads a little blurb about the point youre currently at in the story,) in the SAME DAY. There are just so many places to go, so many missable things and events. The Witcher 3 really is one of the top games of the generation, and I say that as someone who, until playing it on a whim, "wasn't really into monsters and stuff." Now I've read all the books, put close to 1000 hours into TW3, and built a beefy gaming PC just to go back and play the previous games. What a masterfully written universe.

[@TBackpack6987]

These are some good secrets and worth mentioning to everyone that wants to play the game. I want to add though that in the land of fabled in the Blood and Wine dlc, there is a spot near the Witch Hut where you can leave the map and explore all of Toussaint, even see the vampire attack in the city during the day. It's there where you can go see the Witcher developers painting

[@BlueMew92]

I had no idea about the ghost ship and I've done like 6 full runs including dlc, that's awesome 😁

The xLetalis channel has long studied this in detail. For about five years he sorted out the endless hidden details and connections. He then moved on to studying the excised content, which he conducts at the level of Sherlock Holmes. Although this does not prevent dozens of new channels from appearing on KZbin every year, repeating the search for something long ago found in The Witcher 3.

I just started a new playthrough the other day, hadnt played it since i finished in 2018 (put in tons of hours exploring the whole game and trying to find everything, after already taking my sweet time with the story, and the two expansions, which are like a whole nother game in themselves, especially toissant) im legit so happy to be playing this game again, it is hands down my favorite game ive ever played and ive had the good fortune of playing lots of great games since the 90s. Games have always been an important part of my life and i seriously want to thank all the people at cdpr for putting SO MUCH obvious love into such an amazing experience to play for all of us, this game should be a national treasure.. for every nation 😂 its that damn good. Period. I wish things hadnt taken the direction they have of late because even with all the technological advancements im afraid we might never get a great game like this again that just immersed you in a compelling ass story that never shorted you on fun, great story, GREAT story im just gonna say that again, EDIT: And didnt throw annoying stuff in your face like it was their job to do so, just good old fashioned fun and story - end of EDIT. all the connections/consequences and options are seriously mindblowing. The customization, the graphics, the weather, the controls and gameplay it was all so damn dynamic. The mystery and suspense, always wanting to know what happened next, i remember plenty of nights staying up until 5 am because i couldnt stop 😂 and ive waited long enough to FINALLY be able to do it again.

You can get to the developer's photograph without mods if you go tha path of a thousand fables is possible to escape that land and go back to the normal map since the land of the fables is putside the normal map tha game deactivates almost all map borders and you can then go to the mount gorgon. Just stay way from beauclair the borders are a bit tricky there. P.S. you can get the parts of the hen gaidth set that are normally outside the normal map borders during this time.

Another fun secret I was reading about was that SPOILERS: If you cure Vivienne in the Blood and Wine expac you give her only about 7 years to live. She then goes off to Skellige. I am blanking to what town, but there you can wait like 2000 something in game days and you will see her walk into her room and collapse. I gave it a try and it's a real thing. Kind of a fun little detail as well. I also enjoy the extra talking points you get with Triss, Yen, Ciri, and others if you have Gaunter O Dimm tattoo on your face before finishing the main story. You ask about if they can remove it or if it looks bad. So many fun things in this game. There were a few on your list I didn't know (like the tattoo) as I hadn't played Witcher 1 or imported a Witcher 2 file in a long time.
