In case you didn't know this: Zdenek is actually a character from the previous two games. He's the last opponent in fist fighting in, I believe, the swamp in witcher 1 and Loredo's arena in Witcher 2

[@TheCrayonMaster]

Yup! You're 💯 right 😊

Man, these games are truly incredible. Even a Z-tier NPC that has the most minor role imaginable has a consistent story throughout all 3 games of doing fighting of some kind for coin. Best games ever

I had no idea at all you could go into the casino or arena without going full out with your swords at them, that's some very interesting encounters I missed.

[@bakinglycalm]

SAME Although I've come across Zdenek and the bandits fighting in one of my playthroughs, which is funny bc I've never even TRIED going to the casino and just playing gwent for a while. I tried to fight the bandits, and they started attacking me, but I couldn't damage them no matter how many hits I got in. At some point I died. Didn't try it again but I wish I'd recorded it now!

I’ve gotten the Zdenek option every time. That’s so insane to me that other people have never seen him dead

[@thedarkemissary]

Probably because the waypoint pathing doesn't take you past him, but close enough to trigger the radiant event. So, for those players, he dies a few screens away without them knowing.

Same, including in a play through a couple of months ago, so it wasn't broken in a patch, so guess it must be one of xlentil's mods 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hate this video already :) Had to keep reuploading it with various changes for a couple of days before it stopped getting demonetized/age-restricted...

[@bittendonut5186]

You can actually get into his estate before finding out where he is even without broken commands by jumping over the wall from the wooden railing on the stairs to the right of the usual entrance, sadly there are no enemies there and even though you can expect the bodies of dead women Geralt just doesn't react at all. You can also get in there the same way during the quest, but the only thing you gain from it is not having to fight 2 dudes at the entrance, which I feel like is a bit irrelevant since you need to kill a dozen more inside the estate anyway.

[@brittanygilbert7843]

Lol I am pretty sure this is how I did it, because I was watching this video and very confused because I knew I did this quest, but I knew I didnt help Cleaver and I knew I didnt go through the sewers or to the casino lol. But me jumping over random walls is my favorite way to get around, and now that you mentioned stairs, I think I was doing something entirely unrelated, jumped the wall and it updated the quest, so I just went with it rofl.

[@vasilisroussis757]

These videos are never getting boring. Great job as always

[@xLetalis]

thank you ;]

[@Wladeex123]

I'm a completionist at heart, so it pains me to see the red "quest failed" in my journal when doing this without contacting Cleaver, which is what Geralt would do, in my opinion, especially after visiting Junior's ransacked house and seeing the destruction there. Kind of wish there was an option to persuade Cleaver to back off, like a way to "finish" the quest without finishing it and without failing.

[@YARGGG_GG]

it bothered me so much i always do the arena with him. there's actually a unique dialogue for that where he's like "you didn't do what we agreed, but you did half a job, so you get half pay" and it marks the quest complete

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

i was like this in my first few playthroughs of the game, but then i found out that i could skip lots of missions that i feel are boring and annoying, this game is unlike most other games out there where you can skip quests like this. like i just started a playthrough where i skipped every mission in white orchard except the one that needs to be done to progress the story into the next map.

[@RedStar_N7]

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w What do you mean? All Geralt ever cares about at the start is finding Yennefer so if you already have buckthorn and know where the griffin nest is, you can head straight there after speaking with the captain to complete Lilac and Gooseberry. All other quests in that area are completely optional like any other game that has side quests. The difference is Witcher 3 has deadlines for completing most of them, which is why some players feel obligated to do them

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

@@RedStar_N7 in my first playthrough i did started a few of the optional quests and didn't finish them but i went on to complete the main quest to progress the story, but when i did this i got the message that said i would fail these quests if i continued the main quest, so the game didn't like that i switched back to the main quest and gave me a warning. so after that message i felt obligated to finish these other quests as at the time i felt like it was mandatory. but a few playthroughs later i noticed it didn't really matter so instead i just jumped onto the main quest and ignored all the other quests. it's funny because i used to feel a sort of anxiety when i failed quests in this game as i felt like i had no idea why i failed or how i could remedy the failure besides loading back and figuring out which quest needed to be completed in order to not fail. sometimes i wish this game had some kind of indication that you could just quick view to know that a quest was tied to another so that wouldn't happen. but as you said, it's all optional and depends on how i want to play the game, this game also doesn't do optional quests like other games do, other games you can tell it's a radiant quest, the quests in this game are so well made, that at first glance you can't tell they are side quests because they did their questing right where other games you know full well your doing some stupid fetch quest that means nothing to the full plot of the game.

[@RedStar_N7]

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Oh, I understand now. I was taking your comment literally and thought that you somehow found a way to skip some mandatory quests too I really do like that even though these are all out of the way. Some of them may or may not tie into other events of the main story. Its like the goal was to make them all compelling on their own, rather than simply giving every task a completion percentage The consequences of that freedom mean you will often miss out on good content by progressing other questlines but I think it really helps the world feel less like a collection of code and more like a functioning fantasy setting I remember failing a quest once when I let a certain NPC die in a battle and rather than forcing me to load a checkpoint. The game commits to letting you deal with whatever consequences/benefits you'll encounter later The world continues to live on whether you participate in it or not and that's been pretty rare in the games I've played, so I appreciate it a lot

[@Buccher0]

I’ve played the game multiple times and in three of my playthoughs Zdenek always fights immortal bandits. I’ve tried to help him in this fight but nothing happend.

[@Witcherino]

I always take Cleaver's offer because I don't like to have failed quests in my journal, however I just let the dwarves outside and deal with everything peacefully. The casino and the arena can be completed peacefully that way and Cleaver's quest doesn't fail. I don't remember which line Geralt says though but considering the guards don't recognise him and that you can just get in saying you're there for the new girls I guess he get the paceful option, even when the dwarves attack the arena because that always happens.

Never thought there would be a living Zdenek to begin with, not just a corpse always at the same spot.

This bunch of quests is actually one of the hardest (if not *the* hardest) in the entire game to get completed without a single failed objective... but it can be done, and I have done so in the past. Just can't remember the exact order of things off the top of my head. I actually wanted to go for a "perfect" run - meaning, not a single failed objective overall - but alas, there's two quests that auto-fail stages and have to be "fixed" or altered via mod. Anyways, it's just how a completionist like me gets by on his spare time :D and thanks to you and videos like these, I'm never really running out of things to check off the list. :D

My moral code for Geralt always involves bloody mayhem. Whoreson has to meet his demise. I don't understand how Geralt could let him live after his twisted urges left so many women tortured, debased and dead. Geralt kills him quickly and cleanly which is far better than he deserves.

[@AndreyAndreev-Narf]

Yeah, Zdenek is really buggy. Luckily, I managed to find him dead in my last playthrough when I was trying some weird workarounds for a few mission objectives failing (notably, you can't have it all green and do The Gangs of Novigrad simultaneously), but every previous time I remember him actually fighting Whoreson's henchmen forever, as if he was immortal. I don't remember being able to go through the secret passage just because I know it though. But, here's a bonus - you can actually enter his house without talking to the two guards or going through the passage. It is tricky, but possible to jump over the walls in at least one spot. :)

I've had the same problems with Zdenek, though I've also noticed that sometimes zdenek and the badits are invincible and just continune fighting forever. 1 fix for this was trying to intervene and killing the bandits, and then (for god knows what reason) Zdenek just dies. I didn't attack him, but after killing the badits Zdenek just falls over and dies. (this has happened several times for me, over many different playthroughs) thought you might be interested!

one major issue with the witcher 3 in general that annoys me to this day are the red X on objectives when you decide to go with the alternative or explore the , some red X marks are even impossible to avoid legit unless you use some glitch, Junior's long boring mission comes in mind when it comes to this issue

[@katearcher8514]

You won't believe it, but my friend (who, incidentally, introduced me to the Witcher in general, but a looong time ago) asked me just the other day: how do you accept the Cleaver's quest and don't fail it, and yet do some parts on your own, because those are less boring :) and I tried to answer using my usual all-over-the-place style. But if you cleared this part up, I think, it would be very helpful, even for people who have already been through this once or twice :)

[@gqqggq7127]

I did this recently because I wanted to do 100% run without failed quests, and basically what you do is you talk to the dwarves so that they go to the alley. Then go into the casino without them, get to the top where the guy is tied/gagged up, kill the bandits but don't untie or talk to him at all. Go back downstairs, and leave at least 1 thug alive by luring them into the top floor, freeze them or use axii, and then run outside the casino. Then talk to the dwarves in the alley. You'll go back to the casino, and all the thugs will be respawned to kill, and after that you won't fail either part.

[@BeautyIsJustAMask]

@@gqqggq7127 you don't need to do that. All you need to do is talk to cleaver to activate the quest, do the casino the peaceful way then tell the dwarves you've already done it and don't need them, do the same again with the arena. Go to cleaver and he won't pay you anything but the quest is complete not failed.

[@xLetalis]

you know, i'm not entirely sure... what you can try is using his men's help for 1 location and do the other yourself, or try to leave the casino before you've talked to Rico and then talk to the dwarves

@@xLetalis what I did was clear the casino with the dwarves (never knew there was a peaceful way, so thanks for this video), then talk to Rico and do the arena on my own.

"Where's the entertainment?" "I am," said the white-haired, 6'+, heavily scarred dude with cat's eyes and two swords on his back. I'd pay for that - well, technically I did when I bought the game, but I'd pay again! Get Junior is one of my absolute favourite quests, aside from the Gangs of Novigrad confusion. There's so many different ways to play, things to do, details to figure, I love it! My only complaint is that, although Geralt will ask about Rico when meeting his dad and brothers later, it doesn't work the other way round, with Geralt getting Rico up to speed with the family business and urging him to leave Novigrad's underworld and go back to harvesting honey.

As always, a fun dive into the Witcher.

We can enter from the sewers???? I always entered the villa like a gentleman from the front door with blades full of blood. The things you teach us man !

Every single time I’ve done the quest, Zdenek is killed as I walk up and the bandits flee. Every single time. I’ve never seen anything else happen

[@ralymsmorel7069]

With Zdenek I had a playthrough where they just kept fighting and never figured out why or how that happened

[@slabbyfatback2272]

Heh-Nice to actually see what Zdenek actually looks like-I've played more playthroughs than I can count and never seen him alive-always just a pile of loot to get (not even a body) and of course the bandits to deal with-very interesting-Long time watcher, 1st time commenting though-u r the man Letails

The one where you fight in the arena was the way I went without knowing it was the most peaceful one lol

I just started playing this game and love it. Coincidentally, I just played this part yesterday. Had no idea about this option.
