The Witcher Explained | Part 3 | Witcher Lore

[@ingloriousday8811]

Witcher lore seems super interesting! I’ve never read any of the books or played the games but I still really enjoy these videos

[@TheLorebrarians]

So happy to hear you like them! I like covering some topics beyond the realm of MTG and the Witcher Universe is quite exciting

[@sanduiche2801]

If you will like to play the games, there's a big discount on Steam. It's like 11.22 dollars for the trilogy!

[@truffelnootje]

Buy the witcher 3! Its worth it!

[@markolukac6280]

If you buy witcher 3 goty edition you will get 100+ hours of pure joy. Game came out in 2015 but I played it couple months ago for the first time. Although its 6 years old it is the best game I have ever played. I played the game 3 times in couple of months. Second playthrough was the best experience.

[@TK8204]

Witcher 3 is one of the best RPGs of this decade, but highly recommend buying it all the trilogy. It is worth it for just a pure story.

[@luccamartinelli5652]

I felt like you missed mentioning that the kids which displayed outstanding performance on the witcher trials were subjected to a consecutive experiment in order to improve their skills even further and Geralt was the only known to ever survive this final trial, which is the mutation that gave him his white hair and supposedly decreased the suppression of his human emotions. Nonetheless, amazing videos!

Geralt and Vessimir

@@Sunflower_Cats No Vessimir is just old.

[@roybenari]

The potion ingested is Black Blood (as referenced in-game by CDPR), revealed by the drop of blood that drips from his nose, and turns black before sizzling on the ground. I'm pretty certain the grenade he throws is Moon Dust, which contains silver fragments to hinder a creature's transformative abilities. That's why the bruxa reveals itself.

[@nenadlazarevic2919]

WOW. Please continue these. Read all of the books, and looking forward to playing the games (well, watching the first game story, it didn't age well) and your videos cover the lore so well!

[@winstonchurchill7822]

witcher 1 aged way better than witcher 2. you just need to understand that its not an action game with rpg elements,but rather rpg game with action elements. if you cannot play it. i recommend Joseph anderson for a critique/analysis of witcher 1. he also talks about the story from start to end so you will learn about it there.

[@xmariekhd]

Otherwise start with The Witcher 3 and If you get hooked you can add Part 1&2 afterwards 😉

[@henryesquivel5669]

I just got into the Witcher I never thought anything of it but lately I started getting into lore of all kinds and came across the Witcher and your channel. I’m so happy I found it!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy the content and your time exploring the Witcher. Most of my videos are around Magic: The Gathering but I will be branching into other games soon

[@benjohnstone3581]

Just wanted to say I’ve just come across your channel, but this is some of the highest quality lore videos I’ve seen on KZbin. You definitely deserve more views and subs. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks and welcome to the channel! I'll keep working on the content for you to enjoy, steady growth will come

[@CoolGuyJ84]

Thanks for the Witcher series. Just watched all parts 1 till 3, and I must say, your narration is very soothing and you have a talent for this. As someone who's read the books and played through all the games I loved it. As for video suggestions, I'd be interested in the following: - the history of the Scoia'tael - more in-depth monster lore - Witcher Signs (I know you talk about them a bit in both parts 2 & 3, but I'd love for you to go more in depth with them. For instance, in addition to Aard, Quen, and Igni, there are others like Yrden & Axii as well. On top of them, there are ones like Heliotrop & Somne, both which are used in The Season of Storms book)

[@TheLorebrarians]

Awesome and thanks for the suggestions! In the middle of writing a script diving deeper into the elder races, but I'd love to get around to some of those topics

[@Spaceman7391]

Dude, great video! At this point, I've seen pretty much all there is to the witcher lore, but everytime I'm bored I keep coming back. I think i may have a problem... Still, I think you've done an amazing job so far (all three videos are 10/10) and can't wait for the next part. Hopefully, more in depth on monster lore? The variety of monsters are one, if not the most, interesting aspect of the universe in my opinion. Great job again, my dude!!! :)

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I'd love to do a deeper dive on some of the monsters, they are very interesting. Perhaps after the next part in the series which is focusing on the races of the continent

[@Nathan_Coley]

I'm an avid enjoyer of things Witcher, this series is stellar!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@evren-zt2ej]

Just stumbled across your channel recently - your Witcher series is amazing. I can't wait for the one. Amazing job, dude!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks and glad you found the channel!

[@TheFos88]

Man I'm loving this series. Awesome coverage of awesome lore.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Appreciate it, glad you enjoy!

[@kayrosantos1802]

Loved this video it’s absolutely perfect I feel like I’m watching a lecture lol it’s so well put from your beautiful explanation to the final little in-depth look of the video at the end You deserve more Subscribers.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks for the kind words and happy you enjoyed. The subs will come, I'll just focus on making the best content I can for you all!

[@Siilk70]

I like when Geralt says in the books that the steel sword was never made to kill humans, but rather for certain monsters

[@Something-New-]

Your channel hit my homepage, so you’re doing something right! I listen to TW2/3 soundtracks a lot, that maybe why. Subscribed! Keep up the good work!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel!

[@Sometuy11A]

I decided to plunge into the lore of other series here, and man, you do not disappoint. I recommend looking into fear and hunger too; I am 99% sure you'll enjoy the lore of that game.

[@TheLorebrarians]

I've not heard of it, but will definitely check it out! Getting ready for a Lies of P series for the channel right now and have been enjoying the game immensely

[@Sometuy11A]

@@TheLorebrarians Be aware that it's pretty dark, haha, but it has such an excellent grim dark world with a very grueling yet interesting mythology that it's definitely up there with the Lords of the Fallen; it's surprisingly popular too. I haven't played Lies of P yet, as I've been hooked on LOTF, but I picked up the game last week, and I'm super excited to play it and see you cover it. Don't mind me indulging in the rest of the series you covered in the meantime.

[@soonerbutte1813]

These are great and an awesome backdrop to a witcher 3 play through

[@kormakrtv]

We made it to Part 3 we are loving it! Thank you once again for this content!

[@TheLorebrarians]

You bet, so glad you are enjoying!

[@nicolaezenoaga9756]

So TL;DR those who become Witchers or who grow up into it (like Ciri) have a two choices: be the hero that you choose were raised to be and live a pretty terrible life or work for shady people and help further their shady agendas but get paid well. I really like this whole set up. Now we truly get to see witch of this people are truly good of hart and who will become a victim of their circumstances and become a killer for hire (understandable but still morally bankrupt).

[@StyggeOrd]

There was arc like that in books. Witchers hunting monsters were called anachronistic, now they should hunt mother****ers, new monsters preying on simple folk.

[@roybenari]

More on the Witcher lore please!!! I subbed to your channel just for that!

[@TheLorebrarians]

Working on the next part, script just finished! This one is on the elder races

[@roybenari]

@@TheLorebrarians excited to see it!

[@TheMrShoebox]

I really like your Witcher videos and was excited that you uploaded a new one! Only thing is Witchers don’t constantly have both silver and steel swords sheathed on their backs. There was only one instance in the book Season of Storms that Geralt had both swords on him at one time, and he was checking them into the guardhouse for safekeeping. In the books one is always stored on the Witcher’s, Geralt in this case, horse. There’s no need for it until a contract to hunt a monster is accepted. This is actually one of the few things the show gets right and the games gets wrong. To be fair to the games, having both swords is a practical thing as running into monsters is much more frequent that it was in the books. If I remember correctly Geralt only used a silver sword in the books a handful of times while most of the fight scenes he used his Sihil, a Dwarven steel sword given to him by Zoltan in the book Baptism of Fire.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Awesome, and good catch thanks for the clarification!

[@TheMxsuperfly]

Loving your videos very excited for the next one

[@YourBroTekk]

never stop making videos thank you!!!!!!

[@mancamiatipoola]

TY for making these great lore videos. I have always been interested in the Witcher lore more than the video games per se because i love a good story. Also because i am from eastern Europe and a few of the monsters from polish lore are common with romanian lore. It was great that the author of the books drew inspiration from real folklore. Now that season 2 of the tv show is out i am rewatching it whole and there were a few details that i did not understand and your videos helped a lot. Time to immerse myself in deep witcher lore for a week or two. :)

[@TheLorebrarians]

Glad you like the content, the Witcher is a great fantasy setting to explore. I'm also partial to the books over the games, and now with the show there is one more source to add. It's interesting to see how they differ

[@celladoor_uk]

This channel is awesome. Thank you!

[@xmariekhd]

Such an amazing series! Keep going 💪🏻😃

[@armorygunner6594]

Fun fact a Witchers steel sword is crafted from meteorite iron and was originally used against monsters with a weakness to iron as not all can be dispatched with silver it was later used for dealing with the likes of men. (Pretty sure this explanation was in sword of destiny. Could be wrong though but I know it’s in one of the first 3 books.)

[@kingt0295]

Yeah not every monster is sensitive to silver the steel sword isn’t just for men

[@shaylenwayne9284]

I'm curious how moss, mushrooms, and herbs are enough to sustain a Witcher ( in training or otherwise) wouldn't they need more?

[@Thechezbailey]

Woah! You used "myriad" correctly. Subscribed.

[@RK-eo2le]

Wohaw I don't usually comment on vidéos but it was amazing, thank you !

awesome video

[@gigatanz15]

Keep up the good work bro

[@ianmorin8017]

Witchers are basically medieval fantasy versions of Jedi. They are usually recruited against their will for having more mental and physical aptitude, they are very mysterious to the general population even sometimes scolded, and use abilities with alchemy and magic that have parallels to abilities Jedi use. The only main difference is that Witchers are monster slayers and Jedi… well I guess they just serve as good main characters and reinforce the plot armour around them letting the story run smoothly but that’s also kinda how Witchers are, or one Witchers being Geralt of Rivia.

[@FrozenSpector]

Will you cover the Lore of Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath for around Halloween please? He’s my original Commander and a favorite in human form for his bloodlust and ruthless conquering of worlds. “The first world is the hardest…” is a great MtG story I’ve yet to find told on KZbin.

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!

[@ItzBerg]

I love this series, its very informative and accurate to the books/game lore. Great job. 👍 Would love to see another part to the series detailing the different races of people that live in the Witcherverse and the history of conflict between them. (Eradication of Elves and Dryads of Brokilon etc.)

[@TheLorebrarians]

Thanks for the suggestion! Planning on continuing the series in the next couple weeks

[@tohrukobayashi4446]

so.. in events of the games and series, as a present days sort of speak. the major amount of monsters has descreased enough to humans stablish their kingdoms , but still has monsters lurking on the continent (problably legions of monsters beyond the continent) , but as witchers numbers got decreased too, if the monsters manage to increase their numbers again (by life cicle OR more of them coming from somewhere else) , the humans could be in war again but without the witchers numbers to fight at their side .. ?

[@Beyond_Adventure]

I wish you'd kept the part number in the thumbnail. Would make it easier to follow in order

[@nicolaezenoaga9756]

Thanks and ohohoo I'm excited!

@@TheLorebrarians Yes I do!

[@jericpoyaoan5531]

How physically strong are witchers compared to regular humans?

[@luccamartinelli5652]

I dont think there is a clear comparison in the books. They are not strong as superman (hehe) but stronger and faster enough to take out 7 to 8 skilled warriors at the same time and even deflect arrows with their swords

[@Tennek90]

Are there any sources that non-human witchers were made? (dwarves, elves,...?). Love your series btw !

[@jasonzaragoza9413]

not in the actual lore

would have loved a full chapter dedicated to monsters... but that's just me. 😅
