What are Specters? The Witcher 3 Lore - Specters

[@MrGman636]

I love seeing noon/night-wraiths roaming the maps, their ominous sound getting more intense as you get closer.

[@ElBandito]

WHo still remembers their first encounter with a noon wraith?

[@wulfila99]

Oh yes, the Devil by the well... I fucking panicked XD

[@MrSimonmshannon]

@MetalViking not sure if your joking or not but, if you aren't then she was easy just cast yrden at attack thrice.Jenny o the woods though, is just unfair if your not above the recommended.

[@wulfila99]

@@MrSimonmshannon I wasn't. But it was the first boss in my first actual game, so...

[@MrSimonmshannon]

@MetalViking same for me but, I read the entry so I knew what to do.The problem with jenny was that she's one of the only nightwraiths, so you can't get much experience, she also goes incorporeal way to much and on your first play through it gets annoying and even with Specter oil she does so much and can take some damage for any level 5 player.

[@kaitlyn5324]

I got my ass kicked.

[@ForTheGoldenOak]

You really made me smile, when you told that barghest-story so nostalgically, I remembered it as well. You sign off in this video was great, it felt very honest, thank you for you content, it's great :)

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Wow... no, thank you for the comment and your kind words :)

[@jacobfreeman5444]

I would say the Hym is more like the personification of guilt. Whether or not a person has actually done something bad if they feel they have done something wrong the Hym can haunt them. It feeds off their feelings of remorse but also seems to wish to punish the guilty as revealing the target as truly innocent causes the Hym to flee.

[@meetp49]

Wow! This is a really high quality Lore video. The beautiful editing with the cinematic shots really sets the mood and atmosphere in the video. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Will do and thank you very much :)

[@NoNameIsBest89]

Your videos and commentary are of amazing quality dude. No joke. I watch a loooot of youtube content and your work here is on par with some of the best lore/fantasy history channels out there. Keep it up!

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Cheers, I will, please share around the video if you liked it :)

[@craighunsinger2618]

this was another great video but the only wraith you forgot was in my opinion the toughest penitent wraith

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Yeah, I realized that only afterwards, I´ll have to make a separate video on it

[@ioant1295]

Take your time bro , dont rush these epic vids !!! Good job bro :)

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Cheers :D

[@kalebcourville910]

Man I just found your channel, I really like what I see so far, and it helps me quite a bit since me and my friends are playing a dnd session inspired by Witcher. Good show mate, good show :)

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Glad you enjoy them man, more videos will be coming out soon :D

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Also good luck with the session

[@NockLoose]

I just found your channel, this is very cool stuff! thank you for making this lore series its exactly what I was looking for.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Welcome sir, glad you like it :)

[@crylonIV]

Very nice videos, just went through the playlist and am eagerly awaiting more. Thank you for making these!

[@OKAYGUVBear]

More coming soon, normally release one every month

[@unkindled_dreg]

I LOVE THE SHOTS you have in your videos. 09:15 the Barghest shot was terrific. I am sure a lot of work went into making this. Probably being greedy here, even though you do have your interpretations here & there would love to hear that more, along with the bestiary stuff. Keep making the awesome content.

[@jacopoarmini7889]

the specters are an odd bunch in the materialistic and almost atheist universe of the Witcher, I mean, they are a living sign of the existance of something after death, quite in contrast with the hopeless world around them.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

It´s a cool thing to see and to know there´s another realm beneath it all that could exist.

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

Almost atheist? The majority of people in the game believe in something. Eternal Fire, Melitele, Norse Gods, etc. Toussaint is about the Lady of the Lake, but she is not divine. If she is the same from King Arthur (or inspired by), then she is just a spirit (a special one tho). Don't know about Nilfgaard and Ofieri.

[@jacopoarmini7889]

@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 sorry for the misunderstanding, I was referring to how bleak and godless the world of the Witcher is, as humans and the other magical creatures commit atrocities with no deity seemingly stopping them.

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

@@jacopoarmini7889 You mean like in Zelda? The Goddess Hylia chose to reincarnate as a mortal to help the chosen hero. Like that?

[@jacopoarmini7889]

@@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770 it could be an option, I meant more in the "traditional" miracles and angels coming down from the sky sort of way.

[@PalettePC]

I think this is my new favorite lore video. Awesome, thanks.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Glad you liked it man

[@shadow_psych7069]

Yet another great video! Keep em' comin' I love these! :D

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Already starting work on the next one :D

[@messi1010ramirez]

Great vid as always ! You deserve more subs

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I´m getting there slowly, just as long as people enjoy the videos, I´m happy

[@mrpoool1015]

Fantasic content dude I really enjoy watching those high quality lore videos keep it up

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Cheers!

[@dangerdan2592]

What do you play this game on? PC? Some of the gameplay footage in this and your other videos looks amazing, especially when you're fighting the monsters.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Yeah it´s on pc but there is some after editing done

[@craighunsinger2618]

I like the set up of this video more than the others great job

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I keep trying to improve a little on each one, so it should just keep getting better

[@craighunsinger2618]

OKAYGUV Bear insectiods it would be a long video but plenty of content

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Craig Hunsinger that's a good suggestion, I'll think about it :)

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

Who you gonna call? Geralt of Rivia!

[@duke0salt717]

I've noticed something strange, the fact that specters hold lanterns. Poes in Zelda do the same thing I'm wondering were the ghost with a lantern cones from

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Oh that's an interesting idea, maybe it's connected? Or it might just be a way to make them more visibile

[@RushInNinja]

Another awesome video, bravo dude!

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Thanks man :)

[@DumbGarbage]

Amazing content! Great work! Wish this game had a photo mode, I only can play this on console(ps4) and your rotating footage shows me detail I cannot see while playing this game for myself..man I love this game and its lore.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Glad you enjoy it man, and yeah the level of detail up close is pretty amazing :)

[@jflowization]

Great vid, could you perhaps do a vid on the Ogroid class of monsters?

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Perhaps, we´ll see what´s next

[@SimonNZ6969]

I like to think Specters are just the consciousness of a person, kept form by magic. The type of specter is determinded by how much magic is in the "air" at that moment, maybe their own inner magical power or if its mass death then all those combined energies fuse together, like in Witcher 2. Emotions also obviously have an effect on the form, but emotion also seems to work with Magic so it makes sense. Obviously in the games they all look the same, but that I say is a limitation of developers, not an accurate betrayal of what they would actually look like. Party because the Witcher makes it pretty clear Gods and Afterlife aren't really a provable thing, unlike Elder Scrolls. At least in the games.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Outskirts of Vizima at night, you walk through the forest, and than, at the crossroad, these sickly green demon hounds materialize out of thin air, howl and rip you a new asshole :DD Very atmospheric moment, can never forget the music

[@michaelmiller9938]

nothing like walking around and specters spawning in a dark wet cave.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I know right, it´s the good life xD

[@ventusblizzard2041]

I'll be interested in learning more about Draconids in The Witcher universe🐲🐉

[@hassamkkkk5721]

Ventus Blizzard it's one of the few races that appeared in the game but are now officially extinct, the black dragon who appeared in the witcher 2 is said to be the last in the entire world (he was killed by geralt) but we don't officially know if it was actually the last , because in the game you'll find a notebook of a fellow witcher (in one of the gear hunts) who was hunting a green dragon (he actually succeeded in killing the dragon but died while doing so) what a legend

[@josephyounger660]

One you did miss. A pentinent.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Yeah :/ I´ll have to make a separate video on it

[@josephyounger660]

OKAYGUV Bear its all good man. you do well in your videos, you'll get even better with time. :)

[@freddyorlando9275]

OKAYGUV Bear I was looking for more info on the penitent.

[@abdillahazhar1833]

Wobberjackie? Hahaha... 😄😄😄 Anyway, great vid as usual. You keep it interesting with both your narration and editing. And for a "signing off" sentence, just try to keep it simple, like a regular radio announcer. If you repeat it in each post that sentence can be your trademark. 😀

Thanks :D I´ll work on something to sign off with

Where can I find this exact ‘After the Fall’ song. I’m certain this isn’t the Journey song.

Hey just a suggestion maybe u should wait to do any more monster videos until all the new cards come out there are new monsters are being added to the beta such as the imperial golem and so on and so forth keep up the good work brother

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I could but that´s only for Gwent, not the witcher 3 :/
