Witcher 3: 10 NEW Things Discovered By Fans

[@nyyfandan]

In order to get to Skellige, you have to give a sea captain thousands of gold. After the shipwreck, if you find his body, you can get all your gold back. Definitely something a lot of people don't know about.

[@milosstojanovic4623]

Yeah, if they go straight to mission(s) they would miss that.

For #6. You actually don't even have to aim to shoot Golyat in his eye. All you have to do is back dodge as he goes for his overhead downward smash with the mill wheel and tap R1/RB for a quick shot and Geralt will shoot his eye instantly killing him.

I played the Witcher recently for the first time and I got that crystal skull. Can't believe it was a hidden type thing and I got it the first time that's awesome

[@gameranxTV]

👌🏼👏

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

Don't forget to give it back to Yen when you see her.

[@lightwxrk]

It's not even a new thing found by fans, so I think they just put it in the video for a filler. Just like you, there would've been thousands who found it when exploring the area when the game released in 2015.

[@xXEienKageXx]

When I originally played this year's ago I found it on my first go. But then again, I use Witcher Sense almost constantly when looking around.

[@jclosed2516]

I also found it, because the intro film clearly shows that it's dropped at the same place they go for sleep. Not that hidden to be honest. That a lot of people did not find it is probably because they are impatient and want to rush trough the story. I think it has something to do with a lot of gamers wanting instant gratification. They lack the patience and dedication to search their surroundings. If they do not find stuff right away, they assume there is noting to find and gallop to the next story destination. Or maybe it's a KZbinr's disease? Fact is, that a in LOT of KZbin LP's of RPG and JRPG games, the players barely look around in the environment and often skip through dialogues without noticing they missed something important. I have seen many funny situations where those players skipped important dialogue and rushed to the destination, only to wonder what the hell they are supposed to do there (or missed a important item that they are supposed to use on the destination). Sorry for the rambling. As an oldie that started more seriously gaming somewhere around 1985 with Castle Quest on the BBC-B computer (well - I actually played Asteroids on the Acorn Atom in 1980, but I was not really "serious" about it), I get irritated by that impatience now and then...

[@Krypton_Risen]

I have 100% the game 4 times now. Its absolutely my favorite game of all time, and lowkey ruined other games for me. The level of polish, immersion, and attention to detail/lore The Witcher 3 offers is outstanding! Here’s to The Witcher 4 hopefully being just as good if not better!

I guess everyone has their preference, but I don’t get why a lot of people say this game ruined other games for them. There are multiple games with even bigger maps and more in depth quest lines. Don’t get me wrong I love this game, but there are others just as good. Final Fantasy XI was much bigger and endless. Given it is online only tho. WoW, RuneScape, and other MMO’s are so amazing. If you don’t play online then Skyrim, Borderlands, Fallout, Red Dead, Or for new games try Elden Ring or Tiny Tina’s Wonderland.

[@Astraeus..]

The thing with the Grave Hag isn't new and it wasn't discovered, the game literally tells you that you can do this in the combat tactics description for them. And the boat fast-travel isn't new either. Anybody who opened a map on the boat would have figured this out almost immediately. Also it only let's you travel to docks, not sign-posts.

[@Shalyn-ln9tu]

I definitely knew about the crystal skull the first day of launch. Watching the cutscene, I went to look for it. I'm honestly surprised that it's been missed until now

[@FeaR44444]

I believe the fast travel thing at the end there has been explained right after you unlock/use your first boat. Not an Easter egg, but rather a game mechanic tbh. Kudos to whoever discovered the 7 years one. Imagine being a game designer and knowing that no one ever found out for so long... Would drive me insane xD

i'm convinced that people who actually created Witcher are no the ones who worked on cyberpunk either they left the company or were doing something else

[@Flaggyt]

Tw3 was at launch pretty much a wreck not as bad as cp2077 maybe but a wreck nonetheless. People tend to forget that though.

[@milosstojanovic4623]

@@Flaggyt not true. I played that game long before dlcs and patches. I played it when inventory had a lot less space, before ingredients weighted zero, and other things added later. CP is just mediocre game, with lazy, rushed writing, where they put most important parts in shards. Characters in w3 are a lot more likable and memorable than characters in CP would ever be.

[@milosstojanovic4623]

@vachagan you are right, a lot of people left after w3, the new ones came to work on CP, and entire game is differently composed, the main thing was first person and tricky physics system, plus larger area, densely packed with details. Where in w3 couple of larger areas, but majority of it forest and open spaces. But still w3 felt extremely more lively, where CP felt very disconnected from player.

[@krellin]

@@Flaggyt I played it at launch, and I wouldn't say it was worse than cyberpunk, yes it has issues but the reason I say it's not the same people is because the quests were so carefully crafted. Whicher never had garbage quests that will repeat themselves, cyberpunk was full of them I don't know how is it now. Cyber Frank is pretty much linear story with not much deviation by The Witcher was completely different, cyberpunk is what you would get if you tell your developers to imitate what Witcher did.

the Raven skull, new?! I found it on my first play back in 2015. I found Triss's earring far more obscure of a detail than the skull. Again, David and Golyat is not new, have known about it since my first play of Blood and Wine and did it on my second go. Grave Hag tongue severing is nothing new, it's an achievement. You can parry and counter Nekker attacks. Boat fast travel is not new, I have always used it. Some people have small attention spans and horrible observational skill.
