[@wickedcrayon6022]

I loved the combat in Wither 3 so much that I always excitedly chased down whatever monsters I saw. All except for the Wraiths that is. Whenever I encountered wraiths I’d immediately start to panic, slap on specter oil, equip my crappy base level Yerden and a crap-ton of food and water. I would then proceed to flail about like a lunatic while yelling at both Geralt and the wraith for not staying in the stupid circle... God I love this game lol ;)

[@patrykkozubik6051]

The Moondust bomb is far better in my opinion, you can still materialise them without wasting the energy you need for the Quen shield.

[@CMTechnica]

I hate wraiths. First time I stumbled across one in White Orchid I threw my controller

[@freekottbullar6776]

Wraiths are fine imo. (Playing on deathmarch mode, 1st playthrough) but those goddam water-hags and rotfiends....

[@Bladeki]

imo, wraiths (noon or night) are the easiest foe to encounter, but are the scariest. second scariest would be fiends and leshen (the wendigo looking creatures). now for those guys, I slap on a lot of oil and pack up lots of food xD

[@sammyshehole]

I like fighting the wraiths. The noon/moon wraiths, that is. The common green ones can be a bit annoying. Especially in groups.

[@2KXMKR]

Love that real life version. Lay down and wait for her to pass. Basically saying simply lay down and rest. I've suffered heat stroke and can tell you it is not fun at all. I drank four liters of water within twenty minutes and then slept uninterrupted for over twenty hours. The worst head ache you could possibly imagine and intense pain in the neck and shoulders. It feels like you're dying.

[@bxmully]

The neck and head pain is probably from electrolyte imbalance. Consider using an oral rehydration solution. I forget the exact ratio but it's a specific amount of sugar and salt mixed into a liter of water. This is also used to rehydrate ppl with dysentery which kills millions every year.

[@ironwolg]

Honestly the idea of noon wraiths is pretty horrifying. Them and their “real” counterparts. The thing you mentioned about seeing her before she sees you and lying down very still. The idea of waiting for her to pass and hoping she doesn’t find you gives me severe anxiety lol excellent video. You do a great job explaining the lore.

[@some_Rando_watching]

When I was in primary school, watching something scary will give me paranoia; and when a friend told me that some ghosts can appear a day as well, needless to say I couldn't do anyything peacefully

Noonwraiths are definitely a surprise to me, as in most fantasy, incorporeal undead are often only seen coming out at night or lurking in dark places. A farm field at high noon is the last place I would expect to meet a specter.

[@Derivity]

I'm really glad you're putting out lore for the Witcher 3. After playing thoroughly and getting all the achievements I noticed no one really delved into how deep this game really is besides Proper Bird. Glad to see it getting more recognition.

[@micoalfonsop.goloran7242]

in the Philippines we have creaturels like noonwraiths, they are called "white ladies". White Ladies, indigenously known as kaperosa, are popular ghost story topics in the Philippines. White Ladies are often used to convey horror and mystery to young children for storytelling. Sightings of White Ladies are common around the country. The most prominent one is the White Lady of Balete Drive in Quezon City. It is said that it is the ghost of a long-haired woman in a white dress who, according to legend, died in a car accident while driving along Balete Drive. Most stories about her were told by taxi drivers doing the graveyard shift, such as when a taxi crosses Balete Drive, and a stunning woman is asking for a ride. The cabbie then looks behind and sees the woman's face was full of blood and bruises, causing him to abandon his taxi in terror. In other instances, it is said that when solitary people drive on that street in the early morning, they briefly see the face of a white-clad woman in the rear-view mirror before she quickly disappears. Some accidents on this road are blamed on apparitions of the White Lady. Many sources have said a reporter manufactured this legend in the 1950s as a combination of multiple stories from the area. When me and my siblings were young, our parents constantly scare us about White Ladies to scare us so that we run back home, they keep tellig us not to play during "midday" and "midnight" or the white lady might get us.

[@algoshosdigitalplayground2226]

yes. I also noticed the types of wraiths similar to what we have in the archipelago. especially those who appear at certain times of the day. although i cant remember anything like the pesta.

[@arbiter-]

This is the thing I love most about the Witcher - the story is just as much about Geralt & Co. as it is about the monsters of the world. There's so much detail and information about what you're fighting that makes the experience just amazing. It's not just another typical video game enemy, they all have extensive lore that's worked straight into the quests.

[@Hristo1999]

Man growing up in a village my parents always gave me shit for playing in the fields during noon and they always made me come home before 10pm any other slavs had that when you were young?

[@kakerei]

I'm a Slav, and no. No slavic parent or any other person would believe in this nonsense. Your parents just didn't want you to get sunstroke, or a sunburn and this would be the same in any other part of the world.

[@Hristo1999]

Ka Kerei I grew up in a village near the countryside where people there are very superstitious all year around we do all kinds of weird holidays. I asked if anyone else grew up in a similar way.

honestly mate your lore video's on the witcher are the best ones out there. You have actual original dialogue and custom footage, you really make it entertaining instead of just listing facts. Just wanted to let you know its appreciated, really cool!

[@YABBAHEY1]

Must've played Jenny O' the Woods 25 times. I wasn't prepared & got caught in a last save => Die loop. Just the name scares Geralt & I now. Roach was off somewhere eating a peasant's roof so she thinks I'm over reacting . Stupid horse.

[@follyventures3230]

I’m loving these Witcher videos! It’s my favourite game and book series of all time!! And you do such a good job on these!

[@theWanderer521]

by the way...already played Witcher 3 multiple times...there are a couple of noonwraiths and nightwraiths outside Novigrad...one near seven cat's inn and the other near the ballista near Carsten...I wonder if they have a quest or just random wraiths

"Disliking to being seen, they force anyone caught watching them to join them until the drop." Could that be a reference to the dancing plague of 1518?

Wow, i really should ply the witcher 3 or 2 one of these days. This video already shows me how deep the lore of this whole world is. I legitly felt sorrow for them throughout the video I even almost burst into tears. If they really existed i wouldn't be able to strike them down because of the flood of sorrow they would release upon resurrection.

[@KestralKuthule]

the night-wraith reminds me a little of the grey lady in its origin story being the ghost of a bride although they usually haunt the place the wedding would have taken place. There's one said to haunt the Halls of Alvaston Hall as well as several cathedrals and churches throughout Britain

I saw two noonwraiths roaming a field twice. Didn't even bother to find out why. Damn :(

[@Peakock-0]

[@OpnWrldgmng]

Love your videos. Informative and intriguing

[@navilluscire2567]

I know this is replying to an old(ish) video but... I just loved your summary of how the witcher world creates a perfect contrast between the mundane and supernatural worlds. Often many fantasy worlds either intentionally or unintentionally completely ignore the mundane in favor of the magical even though it is the mundane that gave inspiration to it! I REALLY wish more fantasy worldbuilders would pay more attention and care to the mundane, to add bits of intrigue to the lives of the not so magically adept, peasants and commoners. (to name a few) Many worldbuilders strangely assume that there's a hard stop between magicless peasants and high wizards of bla bla bla lightning bolts. (you get the idea..) When in reality it was believed that ALL manner of spirits and supernatural beings that lived among comman folk; in fact it seems most sprites, brownies and fey prefeed the rural fields and quite hamlets to the grand palaces or cold stone castles of lords and the kings. Imagen that a mere peasant farmer had more access to the magically inklind than his Lord! (though alot of it was unwanted attention..) Causally conversing with a local spirit or being viciously tormented by a malignant specter, these are things that I feel that more fantasy settings SHOULD take advantage of. This can make for some more engaging experiences; Not to mention that everyone loves a good ghost tale and some good ole'fey shenanigans. (when not on the receiving end of such pranks..) But anyway...I've always loved seeing pleasant and otherwise "no names" getting tied up in intrigue especially of the supernatural variety. Brings life to the world outside of the elite of society, a world that is more than just kings and important such and suchs. (which is usually the case in many stories but not all) And I think it's at it's best when said peasants were the cause (directly or indirectly) of the hauntings and angry nature spirits.

[@SeaDog337]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these rooted in slavic mythology? I seem to remember something about it being in russian folklore.

[@davidmazula8637]

That's very likely the crones are based on a Slavic legend so it seems likely that a lot of other creatures would be

[@gangstaflamingo]

Its literally in the vid after minute 9 or so

[@locolectrix]

Would be cool if you also included the reallife mythological inspiration of the witcher creatures in your videos. These wraiths are clearly inspired by the slavic Wili. Spirits of Brides who died before the Wedding. The Ballet "Giselle" is a story about Wili.

I first played The Witcher 3 probably five years ago, and I was terrible at it! I don't know, I guess it just didn't click for me. I loved the world, characters, and lore of it, I just could not, for the life of me, successfully play it. Yesterday, the gold version (DLC and everything) popped up in the Playstation store for $10, so I said "what the hell" and got it. For some reason, it's way easier than I remember. The Devil by the Well was impossible for me to beat before, and I had to get a friend to beat the griffin for me. I beat the wraith in about a minute and the griffin in two this time around, before the need for sleep ultimately beat me. I'm having way more fun, now, and I really look forward to exploring all this game has to offer!
