HEY THERE DEMONS (Possession) || The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Part 61 (First Playthrough)

[@nyxandchill]

Hi everyone 🖤 both an Craite's helped now, and what an emotional rollercoaster of an ending!! Happy holidays to those who celebrate, and happy Wednesday to those who don't! Hope you enjoy the video, whenever you have a chance to watch 😁 take care, and I'll see you on Sunday for a certain creepy tower 👀 (Or on Friday for early access members!!) As always, a gentle reminder to refrain from backseating and be careful with spoilers!

[@PabloBarros1]

"Put the baby in the oven" is definitely among the most bizarre choices I've ever selected on a video game.

[@nyxandchill]

YOU'RE NOT WRONG 😭😂

[@therealnmsis]

Nilfgaard excels in drawn-out gwent games, simply because you have the most amount of spy cards, meaning great draw and enough minions to control the board early game. It can also counter decks that can put out many cards in a short amount of time, like monsters and scoiatael can. I'm not surprised you like it :) Also, Roach always appears behind your back (meaning where you are not looking) due to her appearing out of thin air. If you want her to spawn in front, look back and call her. Merry Christmas to everyone reading!

[@nyxandchill]

I'm curious whether I'll enjoy Scoiatael and Monsters, considering the variability and more of a need for luck as well as skill 🤔 I'll check them out soon too but I want to enjoy the Nilfgaard deck for a bit longer first!! Roach also seems to appear from behind trees a lot 😂 and off bridges sometimes too 👀 Merry Christmas to you too!!

[@paulspl2581]

Actually, NF excels here not because of the amount of spies (which is the same as Northern Realms) but because of the amount of medics, as well as the superior leader cards (specifically, the one that lets you draw a card from the opponent's discard pile and the one that allows you to look at 3 cards from their hand)

[@therealnmsis]

@@paulspl2581 I meant their number as a whole, counting the heals from the medics and including the take from discarded ability with which I was playing most of my Nilfgaard games, but yes I was imprecise, my bad.

[@paulspl2581]

@@therealnmsis I didn't mean this in an offensive way, sorry. I just wanted to avoid people being led to confusion.

[@therealnmsis]

@@paulspl2581 no worries, no offence taken. You pointed a correct overlook on my part

[@gig2238]

Im so glad this series continues! Out of the many witcher 3 playthroughs i watched over the past few years yours is one of if not the best as ur playstyle and attention to detail is just very refreshing and entertaining

[@nyxandchill]

Thankyou!! I just thoroughly enjoy the game, I'm glad it comes through properly in the videos 😁

[@gurra8621]

8:15 That's worrying my guy😟 8:17 Oo look😇🥰

[@lukazivkovic4099]

That first gwent game was beatifull haha. Dragon burning 5 cards... just awesome.

[@nyxandchill]

It was such a perfect moment, I'm glad I waited for it 👌🏻

[@keyser5555]

This game has a lot of kid cooking in it.

[@nyxandchill]

I was about to ask for another example and then I remembered the crones 😭

[@anotherhappylanding4746]

Theres also the grave hag witcher contract​ where geralt finds a childs femur in a cauldron @nyxandchill

[@nyxandchill]

You're right, apparently I tucked it all away in the "what the hell" box 😂😂

[@Dare_to_be_stalk_of_bad_people]

​@@anotherhappylanding4746+ The 'some' Witch . she didn' cooked but she wanted and it was spoiled little child too.

[@jasondetilly5647]

Loving your playthrough! "Put the baby in the oven" is definitely up there in Witcher 3 memes haha Happy belated holidays!

[@SchwaWasHere]

27:08 lol! That's why we love Nyx 😂 1:00:24 ...think it's just her way of flirting or being cheeky, prodding Geralt, teasing him

[@alexmckee4683]

That's how I read Cerys's behaviour too - she's attracted to Geralt, he beat her in the footrace and she finds him intriguing.

[@JawadBhuiyan]

Happy Holidays everyone! I didn't know the curse of the black sun also affected gwent cards 😂

[@markkettlewell7441]

It’s not surprising people thought toothache was worms in the teeth, with the nerve endings firing it can feel like that.

[@jazzx251]

Yes - I trusted her as well You're right - that locked room you tried to go in had the back of the oven in it - an open hole that the baby was simply passed through Merry Xmas! (babies being put in ovens - almost as festive as the Eastenders xmas special ...)

[@nyxandchill]

Yeah I certainly chose the day for it 😭😂

[@Acer0980]

Really glad you chose to side with Cerys here, I know some who refused to put the baby in the oven and that honestly just makes the whole quest feel useless if you get what I mean? This is her moment to prove herself and trusting her judgement is part of the process, if you decide to just simply fight it off instead it renders her entire storyline moot. Geralt might have done the legwork but it was ultimately she who formulated the plan that outwitted the demon and drove it off. Nothing quite beats the feeling of doing it though, it's been years since I first played it and I still remember the emotional rollercoaster of shock, horror, regret and finally relief.

[@nyxandchill]

Yeahh I can see that making the quest feel pointless, but its still a full on decision 😭 I didn't cry during filming but I shed a couple tiers editing because of the relief after the fact, its a powerful quest and I'm glad Cerys was able to prove herself but hoo boy what a rollercoaster

[@markkettlewell7441]

Did anyone notice the Hym run past Geralt 54:56

[@katazi_]

I just noticed that after geralt puts the baby in the oven, he casts quen on it right before he fights the jarl's men

[@emmanuel1337]

Yeah, it's a very weird use of Quen that has no precedent in the books or games and never happens again as far as I remember. I'm sure something like that would've been useful in many ways if it was an actual functionality of that sign in CDPR's canon and appear at other points, so I think it isn't really supposed to be a thing and the developers might've just been pressed for time for a way to effectively lock the furnace door in this quest and used it for convenience.

[@nyxandchill]

I feel like Aard would have worked better, maybe as an attempt to mess up the lock so it wasn't possible to reopen. I think during the moment I assumed it was Aard as quen felt a bit disjointed with Udalryk trying to open the door moments later

[@markkettlewell7441]

Shroëdinger’s Cat, that is so cool! I have a joke about that. Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schroëdinger are stopped by a cop on the highway. The cop goes to Heisenberg (the driver) and says, “Did you realise you ere doing 60mph in a 40mph zone?” Heisenberg slaps his head, “Damn! Now I don’t know where I am.” The cop opens the boot and pulls out a box. After a few moments he comes back and says, “Do you realise you have a dead cat in a box in your car?” Shroëdinger winces and says, “Well, it is now!” 😂

[@JawadBhuiyan]

Random but still lol

[@GrahamOrme-u2o]

Hi Nyx new member here, tho been a big fan of your content for a long time now. Love the Witcher 3, and especially this quest, been looking forward to this vid for a couple of weeks now. Have always loved Cerys especially her snipey comments about Yen and Geralt

[@nyxandchill]

Thankyou for joining!!! 😁 Cerys is such a character, and this quest was so enjoyable and interesting for that reason! Hope you enjoyed this video and the ones to come next 😊

[@ikarikaoka]

Yen is grumpy, arrogant, authoritarian and inflexible, so the relationship needs to be based on a hierarchy and her "Majesty" cannot be challenged or contradicted. Everything is an excuse for discussion or a scowl. I have nothing against occasional sarcasm or debate, but I fear that Geralt will have to choose between preserving his mental health and his autonomy or continuing to be with Yennefer. She offers a definition of a toxic and unstable relationship.

[@RyansFiles]

Somehow I read the schedule 3 times and am still surprised. I adore this quest and Cerys!

[@nyxandchill]

Honestly fair, I posted the schedule and have alrrady forgotten what I said 😂 Cerys is such a character, and its a rollercoaster of a quest but absolutely one of the best so far

[@Gearsme]

uterly destroying your opponent in gwent is the right way to play :D

[@alexmckee4683]

Regarding "treerminsulby" there's been various theories advanced that CDPR QA left it in because they found it funny, but I think it's actually an Yggdrasil reference. An Irminsul is a "great pillar", often or even usually a great tree that was left in place even after it died. Irmin is one of the names of Odin, it's a Saxon variant of Jǫrmunr ("mighty one"). Ygg, "terrible", is another name of Odin. Yggdrasil, the world tree of Norse and Germanic mythology, is literally "terrible steed" and thus "Irminsul" is equivalent "mighty steed" and is supposed to have been euphemistically applied to hanging trees because Odin was hanged in Yggdrasil by one leg to attain his otherwordly knowledge. If you put some spaces in "treerminsulby" it becomes "tree [e]rminsul by", which I think is just a CDPR-style altered spelling of "Irminsul" to "Erminsul". The lack of space between "tree" and "erminsul" may also be deliberate, pointing out the compound nature of Germanic words "tree-mighty-steed", but it may just as easily be a typo given the lack of a space between "[e/i]rminsul" and "by". But basically it's an Odin and Yggdrasil reference with some deliberate or accidental typos.

[@neon-rust]

I always thought that the trick was a bit risky, in that it hinged on Geralt feeling (strong) remorse and guilt although he's a witcher that (supposedly) has no emotions. And after "the deed", he didn't seem particularly upset about it unlike Udalryk who seem to have quite strong feelings about it... So the (failed) trick could've made the Hym's bond stronger, or something. And great to see you continuing the play-through! 😄👍

[@nyxandchill]

That's entirely fair!! I definitely felt a bit too aware that it was a trick, but the rollercoaster of emotions at the end with the pure relief from both Geralt and Udalryk was arguably enough to banish the Hym 🤔 Thanks!! I'm glad I took a moment away but very glad to be back to it 😊

[@juppjames9635]

lol, you were so worried about the baby when you saw him first, then threw him into the oven! 😆 Cerys trolling Team Yen is so funny, especially if you play this quest after the Last Wish. 😉Cerys clearly has a point. Sadly, the conversation about Yen is the same, even if you already broke up with Yen. Oh well... Team Neither ftw! 😉

[@Blaueswunder_]

Yes, one of my favourite quests of the Skellige Isles. Although, I have to admit, I forgot how haunted the house was. Seems to be your speciality by now, though ^^

[@nyxandchill]

I truly do love me a haunted house 🥹 they're so well done in this game 🤌🏻

[@trustmenow.]

Cerys is just jealous of Yennefer, that's all

[@BerishStarr]

Hej Nyx 👋Thank you very much for the video. Merry Christmas ❤🙏

[@nyxandchill]

Hi!! Thanks for watching 😁 merry christmas to you too 🎄

[@markkettlewell7441]

The only tree I know in Norse mythology is Yggdrasil the world tree that Odin was hanged from

[@kyrosv1289]

Well done Nyx!! Very grateful that you have shared your experience with this quest and thoughts!

[@nyxandchill]

It was a solid quest, and so emotional even while editing 🥲 loved it though

[@kyrosv1289]

[@Waleedo_1]

I think most of us chosen Cerys after this quest

[@arturkrol2907]

Probably my favourite quest from Wild Hunt (excluding DLCs). I'm sprawled out in front of the monitor - armed with a glass of kefir impossibly curious to see how you got through it.

[@nyxandchill]

It's easily become one of my favourites too, for Cerys and the emotional rollercoaster at the end!!

[@kenshinPH]

been waiting for this!

[@nyxandchill]

Ahh hey thanks for joining!! I hope you enjoyed the video 😁

[@paulspl2581]

This one quest I found really great besides the trick part. It felt too obvious that it's a trick for the hym. How would Geralt not know and thus how would the hym actually switch hosts ? Maybe I'm too nitpicky but if you just planned to trick a hym your brain kind of automatically assumes that everything out of the ordinary is a trick ? Idk

You can take all those boats without anyone complaining because it's like a free boat scheme, like the old Amsterdam "White Bikes" or "White Cars" scheme. 😉 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2quaa1qgd2opq8)

[@nyxandchill]

I love the idea that throughout the wartorn continent and factured isles, there's an overarching agreement that boats are a shared commodity 😭 that might be my favourite canon ever 😂

[@xtremerage1749]

Hey Nyx, any Chance you have a Witcher 4 Reaction?

[@nyxandchill]

Unfortunately not yet!! I'm waiting until I've finished the main story of TW3 so I don't spoil anything accidentally 😭 I'll be doing a reaction video as soon as I'm done though!!

[@lethalchocobo1886]

Stumbled on your playthrough and saw that you started the game two years ago. Now you ain't even halfway through the game. Yeah, no. There's chilling and then there's you.

[@nyxandchill]

Yep, thats what happens when a creator is doing a very timeconsuming degree alongside their hobby. Only recently has KZbin become a focus for me. I'm constantly thankful for the people who have continued watching my playthrough even after long breaks while I focused on assessments and my dissertation! I really hope you consider the possible reasons behind slow uploads before you next comment something this unnecessary :)

[@alexmckee4683]

What exactly is the rush? The game is 10 years old. It's an amazing game, well worth taking time over. I'm glad that @nyxandchill is taking her time and balancing it with living her life instead of rushing the game. I just don't understand why some people seem to need creators to rush through things, I much prefer that creators take their time and actually enjoy the game.

[@Dare_to_be_stalk_of_bad_people]

Hey Nyx,That girl Weronika~Wera.Avoid her last video least,Scoop she throws Spoiler Haymakers. Nuclear Explosive spoils☢️, was like wdf. I remember someone mentioned and if you want but it will harm your Experience. We don't want destroyed experience for you. Ooof Ooof OOF ooff oof, Oofalumpas

[@nyxandchill]

I'll make sure to avoid her vids until I've finished the game 🫡
