O'Dimm literally made a normal person immortal. He stops time. He can see through time. Nothing can come close.

[@Skillpointer10]

awfulinternet ciri is stronger

[@braedenconti36]

When he says it’s out of his reach I assume it implies that he cannot access other worlds like ciri. Since it is implied that the isle of mist isn’t on the same plane of existence, he cannot access it.

[@karltimmer2733]

Braeden Conti don’t think so he did see ciri future and knows a lot he probably have limit but if ciri can go through other world he def can

I think that Gaunter O'Dimm doesn't just take what he wants by force is because he enjoys the game. He plays by rules because it's the only way he can lose and without the risk of losing where's the fun in anything?

[@Tishbite731]

@@HomerAndRoe Well, it's heavily implied that Gaunter O'Dimm is either Satan or some kind of really powerful demonic figure, and demons take sadistic pleasure in causing suffering to humans because it is against their nature not to be. Gaunter, much like Satan, isn't very overt with his power and rather is a figure of temptation who gives people power because they want to play God, this always of course comes at enormous expense of the fool who agrees to their deals.

IIRC Devils are bound to contracts to harvest souls. They need to play by the rules or they are themself sent to a hell even fiends fear. Also Devils and creatures from the Abyss feeds on the suffering on others and it's obviously shown through the DLC.

I think O'Dimm is Witcher's version of Loki

[@teste-yh5df]

@David -01 if you look at the bar, everyone Odimm is killing is happy people, mostly because they made a contract with him, if you look properly he could've kill more boring people or people from the scenario, but he just choose to kill certain people on the bar. He isn't that powerful, all he use is magic, when you see him flying you can see that he put "block air" under his foot, that means he can't literally fly, but place magic objects under his feet to simulate fly, which means he is just a magic creature, nothing exceptional. A easy battle is just teleport him to an place that there's no magic, like ciri did. Ciri is actually more powerful than people think, I think she can even win against odimm as her time control is waaay more powerful

O'Dimm could defeat the Elder by just talking him to death.

[@_ElisDTrailz]

I think by far the coolest power of O'Dimm is knowing when someone is studying or thinking about him. The professor just started doing basic research on O'Dimm - somehow O'Dimm became alerted to that. It shows he may have some level of omniscience.

[@MrRey007]

That is very true. This game was very well made even after 5 years its great to play it all over. Odimm does that because he likes to trick people, yet he follow the rules of his own games, just that he doesnt want you to know how to beat him.

[@zrider100z]

How exactly could you prove that? Maybe the name is cursed with a tabu like the Banshee in the theatre in Blood and Wine? Maybe the name itself is a spell of sorts that requires only strong will and no training like the curses caused by evil deeds? Maybe the books that contain the name have been cursed to inform him who's reading them? There are many possibilities

[@chadglazier3102]

Well, in the Witcher a lot of creatures brought into the human world by the conjunction were the source of many beliefs and legends, or they were interpreted as the manifestation of those legends. E.g., drowners were thought to be reanimated corpses of those drowned at sea, but in reality they're an entirely different creature. There's also multiple instances of creatures being worshipped as deities, like the lady of the lake (who is actually just an ancient nymph). The scholar at Oxenfurt explains that O'Dimm has been interpreted by many cultures, over thousands of years, and in all prior cultures he's seen as something along the lines of "evil incarnate". He also always makes deals at crossroads, and always takes the souls of those he makes pacts with (excluding Geralt and one other unknown person). It's pretty clear that, regardless of wherever he truly came from, in the human world he's the basis for the capital-D Devil. As to what he actually is? Well, he's certainly one-of-a-kind. He explicitly told Geralt that he's neither a demon nor a djinn. His control over time is something never-before-seen in the Witcher (books or otherwise). As you pointed out, he has also has some kind of omniscience. So he's special, and he's on a level far above any other entity described in the Witcher, but not much else is clear.

[@XarkoCZ]

"Speak of the devil and he doth appear" Perhaps it works for reading as well

[@breakmanradio2530]

Into the thoughts of human beings. We don't know if he has the same ability with other forms of life. Vampires are entirely different species. And I assume, having lived since ancient times, they'd be familiar with both ancient and modern magic, and would have countermeasures in place at their "homes" given that they wouldn't want to leave themselves vulnerable to some human being wishing for one of their deaths.

[@LSmallCatL]

O'Dimms "playful" nature suggests limitlessness as he's seemingly making his own rules to play by for no other reason than to not bore himself to death.

[@Veladus]

Indeed. Gaunter reminds me of an evil version of Mr. Mxyzptlk. If you're not familiar, he's a Superman "villain" from another dimension that's basically omnipotent. He can rewrite the laws of physics or reality as he pleases, create or destroy anything, he's basically God. He shows up, does some pranks, and generally makes a pest of himself. Supes can only beat him by tricking him into saying his name backwards (hard to even say it forwards...) which banishes him for a decent period of time. But he's also revealed the name backwards thing is just another game to him, and he doesn't have to honor it. He does because it's fun for him. Gaunter reminds me of the same sort of thing, except instead of looking to just amuse himself, he seems disgusted with the rotten bastards of the Witcher world (and really, aren't you?) and likes to punish them.

I find the Unseen Elder a very good concept because of that, not all of us, but some of us do have conditions where it actually pains us (physically even!

[@damianich4824]

@The Ivan His depiction is consistent with depictions of the devil in folk lore and other literature. He's also evil af. He's the devil, not God.

[@peterclarke7240]

Not strictly true. Loki isn't the devil, but behaves very similarly to gaunter. In fact I'd argue that applying our concepts of "good" and "evil" to higher powers is entirely subjective. Most pantheonic religions and mythologies don't have "good" gods and "bad" devils. You tend to only find this concept in the monotheistic religions that came after them. Given the the Witcher universe draws very heavily from pre-christian pantheonic mythologies, I think it more likely that there are simply gods, of which gaunter is one. Which begs the question, are there more powerful deities than gaunter? Most likely. Are they "good?" well, no. Not really, in the same way Zeus or Odin weren't "good."

So the rules of the game are he can pretty much do whatever he wants to make people choose their destiny but if he fails he gotta go so it eventualy got boring using plain old fear and bully so deceits and jokes toying with people makes the fun in it even more so when theres prospect of him failing to "win", tho he always wins because what human consider wining is another thursday for him.

O’Dimm is referred to as “evil incarnate”. He can literally bring suffering to a ghost and if Geralt fails to solve his riddle, O’Dimm will just appear behind him and turn him into dust. I think he could easily tear the elder apart if he wanted to.

[@plgrn8r683]

Yeah. Like, he causes a ghost-an incorporeal, non-physical being-to writhe and scream in agony, seemingly with no effort, significant motion or real 'trick' to it. He just.... *willed* him to suffer, and he did. What in the HELL is the Unseen Elder gonna do? Even if we assume the UE moves fast enough to stab/slash at O'Dimm's body-which he doesn't, because O'Dimm can control the flow of time-we have absolutely 0 reason to believe this would even BEGIN the process of harming O'Dimm. The scholar says G.O'D has records of encounters going back *thousands* of years. That strongly indicates he's a Pre-Conjunction entity, which is terrifying in its own right. At bare minimum, he's able to teleport, stop time, walk on air/manipulate gravity, and control the weather at will, and this isn't even accounting for his ability to grant wishes or inflict curses, seemingly of limitless complexity and flexibility, at will. This isn't even a question of "Who would win", it's a question of "How long would O'Dimm torment the Elder before he gets bored?" Try to tell me O'Dimm wouldn't *DELIGHT* in making something that thinks itself virtually invincible feel completely helpless.

It's a bit like a well-fed housecat playing with a mouse before eventually killing it. Unseen elder or a peasant, I don't personally see it making much of a difference.

The whole (or the most of it) Heart of Stone story line is based on "The wedding" by Stanisław Wyspiański (1901) a polish drama describing the wedding of a noble man with a peasant girl in Bronowice, a part of today Kraków (Cracov). Thats the wedding part. Second inspiration was old folk tale about Twardowski, a man who fools a devil and make him his servant. Twardowski promises that he would meet the devil in Rome to pay for his service but he never intended to travel to Rome but after years, he was in travel. In the dark night he saw a light. It was an Inn. Then devil came back. And asked for his soul. He refused, but then he ask about the Inn name. Twardowski looked at the inscription on the door. The Inn was called Rome. Then devil took his soul and leaved his body on the moon. This expansion was very familiar to the polish community because we know the original story and then we saw the CDP adaptation.

[@_Woody_]

Ah, there you go. Just made a comment about O'Dimm and I couldn't remember the name of this piece of folklore. But he was also inspired by another fairytale which was very familiar to the German community. The power to know his true name and his obsession with spoons is basically the character of Rumplestilskin. A miller claims his daughter could spin gold out of straw. So the King takes her and orders her to spin the gold overnight, or else she would die the next morning. There comes the devil, in some versions he flies in on a spoon, and offers her to do so for her if he gets her bracelet in return. Ofc they agree and the king encounters a room full of gold. He promises to marry the girl if she can pull it off a second time. So the next night the devil returns but this time, he demands her first child. She agrees. Years came and went but someday the devil returned to claim her eldest child. The royal family offers him any riches in the land but he wants the thing he is owed, the child. Seeing her tears he smirks and offers a new deal. If she can outwit him and guess his true name, then she can keep her child. She has 3 days to accomplish it. Later she sends her subjects to spy on the devil in his cave, where spoons hang everywhere from the ceiling, and the devil dances around a fire. As he dances, he sings about his true name, "how good is it, that no one knows, that my name is truly Rumplestilskin". Then they banish him by calling him out. Oh and the name comes from Stephen King's the dark tower.

[@dukeofnuke2446]

The story with the heart made out of stone is also inspired by the german folk "Das kalte Herz" (1827)

[@marlonjames2000]

o´Dimm draws from too many legends, myths and characters to be truly pinned down, some inpsirations are more clear then others, his name coming down to God, o´Dimm is astoundingly close to Odin, who also frequently appears as a beggar among men to judge on their behaviour without them knowing and seal their fate based upon it, basically somewhat playing with them, while his demeanor is close to Loki (mischief and games that only he understands). The tongues he speaks and the way the books talked about him imply a Demon from any sort of Abrahamic religion, or possibly even the Devil himself. Twardowski btw. also drew from Gothes Faust. Its just a big tangly knot, which makes it all that easier to make him somewhat understandable yet deeply abstract. He just is Evil incarnate, cold, somewhat reasonable, yet also capable of the most random outbursts of senseless violence, sometimes even more so psychological then physical. There just is no absolute outplaying him, since he invented the game, cause in the end even his loss against geralt is barely one move on the chessboard of a match thats been going on for millenia.

[@strider8662]

Chances are O'Dimm is just a very powerfull demon, not the devil. He mentions in his first encounter with Geralt that he is not omnicient and since we know O'Dimm never lies, its safe to assume he has limits when it comes to his powers. So yeah, this situation is likely far close than you think. I would guess its a post-conjuction demon who doesnt have a actual manifestation in our world, he isnt killable but he isnt that powerfull either.

The unseen elder hissed his defiance as gaunter o'dimm strolled through the entrance to his lair. In a blur of motion the elder rushed at o'dimm to strike him down, and as he swipes at where o'dimm's throat should be, he stares at his bloodless claws in confusion. "My my, you are very fast I see" says gaunter as he admires the lair several feet behind where the elder is now standing. The elder commands his brethren to his lair. "One as powerful as you must want for nothing" said o'dimm cheerfully, "you have total command over other vampires, strong enough to over power anyone who gets in your way. I bet there is nothing you could possibly want". The elders brethren formed a cautious circle around o'dimm, hissing and snarling, some appearing in clouds of smoke. "Just my peace" snarled the elder. "You have intruded on my solitude". A mischievous grin forms on gaunter's face and as he stares directly into the elders eyes, the circling vampires freeze. Some mid snarl, some still floating as puffs of smoke, all motionless. As gaunter begins to casually walk towards the elder, the immediate area around them darkens and the background fades away. "Well then" says o'dimm, as the background begins to form again, replaced by a misty, desolate terrain that the elder doesn't recognise. "I may have a proposition for you". The elder attacks, swiping furiously at where o'dimm stands, but for some reason this does nothing. Gaunter stands there as substantial as the mists around him, and chuckles as if at a personal joke when the elder stops. "I'm a man of many skills, the mirror man some call me, and I have a proposition for you. What if I could give you all the peace and solitude that you could ever want? Asks gaunter. And again with his mischievous grin gaunter glances toward the moon, "or make you more powerful than you could ever imagine. I can make it a reality... for a small price"

Deal!" *Unseen Elder Proceeds to Sign* *Olgierd is warped into the Cave clueless of whats going on* GOD:"Oh and by the way, if you see a White-haired man with a Scar on his face kill him for me now, would ya?" *Unseen doesn't even hear his request as he is already sipping from Olgierd's blood* Hope you've enjoyed my fanfic xD

So in the end, Gaunter would not even fight Unseen, killing him would probably give him nothing anyway.

[@thefinalroman]

O'Dimm is just a trickster who burns up and gets banished for losing a bet and can only get souls from scamming people. The Elder is unbeatable and ends Geralt instantly. His army of undead would find him and lock him in a jar or something like a Djinn.

@@thefinalroman Why is Unseen Elder defeating Geralt something that proves he's stronger than G.O.D? Gaunter sucked an immortal man's soul in seconds and he manipulates time and reality.

[@thefinalroman]

@@leoortiiiz no actually he didn't do that only if you let him. He has a bunch of stupid parlor tricks and wasn't able to get the soul without going through a bunch of stupid process and he ends up losing anyways and then burning up like an idiot. Why don't you go step in the elders cave and see what happens to you....

@@thefinalroman Just because he placed limits on himself doesn't mean his is weak. Given that for Gunther, a bet with the possibility of you winning is part of the fun.

[@Gemmlarsen]

It's not that O'dimm can't take your soul on a whim. But being all powerfull with life eternal must be a boring existance. Thus he creates rules for himself, as some sort of game. He makes contracts with mortals and observe them for entertainment. O'dimm simply craves to be entertained, if he wished for the destruction or domination for the world he would have done so long ago.

[@xxabcMichelle123xx]

O’Dimm is definitely an equivalent of our depiction of the devil cause his charakter & the whole dynamics between him and Olgierd is heavily inspired by the Polish legend about Pan Twardowski, in which a noble man sold his soul to the devil in exchange for magical powers. Thanks for all your work, really enjoying it!

[@Ryudon13]

Picture the Unseen elder as the big fish in a fish tank with all those tiny feeders, O'dimm is the naughty kid tapping on the glass and swirling the water with a spoon

[@josefodium8888]

The Elder is something physical. O'Dimm is a concept. Who would win? It is like asking if a stone can fight time.

[@hyperion303]

Dear xLetalis, since Heart Of Stone expansion is based on themes from a Polish legend called "Pan Twardowski" or "A Legend Of Pan Twardowski", I would definitely classify Gunter O'Dim as the devil himself. The source material deals with a character of Pan Twardowski who made a deal with the devil and does everything in his power not to fulfil it as doing this would mean his death. There is even a moment when they meet in a tavern called "The Moon" to finalise the contract - this is reminiscent of what''s going on in the game.

[@notsus6956]

The final piece of the puzzle for me was the professor referring to odimm as evil incarnate. As in he’s literally the devil not just a demon. In that sense he’d definitely be able to win any battle even thought he has the rules he’s has to follow for some reason

O’Dimm could freeze time and push a spoon through the elders eye... not that they’d ever be in a violent confrontation, Gaunter literally has god like abilities.

[@GreatOldOne999]

O dimm is the literal devil. He is a cosmic entity, probably fully immortal and immune to any kind of damage. He is also a master of time. The elder is fucked.

[@Alexander99602]

"Force him to socialise with people" It just sounds too light coming from the devil

[@jamesgarry112]

This is just not even close. There is nothing unseen elder and an army of vampires could ever do to o'dimm

[@jamquijano4402]

"Instead, may just choose to torment him somehow, by forcing him to socialize, perhaps?" Oh, I can't think of worse torture than that.

"I'm gonna put some wooden spoons in your eyes." -Gaunter O'Dimm, probably

[@AugustoCabreraC]

Gaunter O Dimm, would play with him first... then after some torture and laughs, he would dispose him. Gaunter O Dimm is basically inmortal.

[@Drew_Peacock]

It would be extremely interesting to see the ways O Dimm would interact (I.e. make a deal) with somebody like the unseen elder.

[@1millioncicades183]

I am guessing that for O'Dimm Unseen Elder would be too boring to interact with, but probably he would do that with the same class and modesty as with Geralt. Even with all his powers and strength, vampire is suffering all the time anyway, hell, we don't know if he even has drive other than sleep to exist at this point. He is in kind of immortality trap - rules over other vampires, but he clearly is not interested in anything around him thanks to his own suffering. I think that for Gaunter this kind of situation would be hilarious enough to not waste his own time. But thinking about, if Master of Mirrors would want to, he probably could irritate him using innocent people to the point, where Elder would just sign the deal to have some peace to sleep or to make all the pain disappear. Other than that, Unseen Elder probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with O'Dimm if he somehow knew what O'Dimm represents.

[@goharjudge8458]

It's very easy to make deal with elder he wants to go home.

[@ScarlettSunday]

3:50 - you also meet Go'D at a crossroads which is the usual place to make a pact/deal with a demon or devil :)

[@kjvail]

The elder is just a really tough monster. O’Dimm is something else entirely. I don’t think he would bother to fight something, he would never need to. O’Dimm just waves his hand and reality becomes whatever he likes.

[@MiiMagus93]

Gaunter is honestly just going to make grandpa jokes at the elder then probably skull poke him with a spoon lol.

[@yuletide1281]

The extent of the Unseen vampire is never fully explained they say ultimately only a vampire can kill another higher vampire and Regis says something about them not really existing in a corporeal state to begin with but probably Guanter if you can check off all his abilities it’s easier to just write down yes to all

[@WhiterunGuard001]

Dude.... Gaunter is the incarnation of Evil.... He's a concept... He CANNOT die. The game explicitly says that vampires can't die either, but there are limits to that ability... Geralts friend he's also a vampire, but after being blown to smithereens, he was trapped in a state of regeneration where he couldn't. He was forced to get help from another vampire.... So vampires can die, and same thing with the trailer where Geralt killed that vampire that was killing children. She was a bruja and not a full vampire, but she was still killed.

[@Mincho1994]

If a simple Yrden works on higher vampires, there's no way O'dimm's global selective time stop wouldn't work on the Unseen

[@patriot459]

I’m like gaunter is like a demon and the unseen is an actual creature. Might be very old but still just a creature. Gaunter can literally defy death and change reality at will...

[@rpsnider85]

O'Dimm. Hes got to be some form of Deity in the Witcher universe. A lot like the Devil actually. Making bargains/deals, eternal existence, strict adherence to his word (usually to his own benefit, but refuses to cheat). He's either the Devil of that universe or just another Deity being.
