8:58 The red moss that's on those stones reminds me of that realm Geralt travels to through the quest with Avallac'h. It also has giant stone monoliths around, along with mushrooms creating the unbreathable fog you run through. Perhaps it's an intersection with that sphere.

[@xLetalis]

indeed

[@magean0301]

It's always a pleasure to hear some Thronebreaker OST in your videos. This game never got anything near the credit it deserved, and the soundtrack was top-notch.

[@xLetalis]

[@BahamutBreaker]

The horse kick thing was an awesome find. It truly is beyond crazy how many details were coded into The Witcher 3. At this point, I’m not sure there will ever be a final episode of “things you didn’t know…” . If humanity survives long enough, I can picture XLetalis at age 90, hunched over his keyboard with arthritic fingers, still pumping out “details” videos from The Witcher 3

[@eloeloeheheh8554]

There's a monolith in Kaer Morhen, one in White Orchard and a few in Velen/Novigrad. There's one right outside of Triss' house on Hierarch Square, one near Lurtch, one near the Eternal Fire Chapel checkpoint (check the river there), another one not far from the Bandit's camp checkpoint (check the small islands on the right side) and the last one I found was near the Yantra checkpoint. And there's a house in Oxenfurt - the one with the trap door which leads to the prison and Whoreson Junior's house - which has a symbol on the floor. I couldn't tell whether or not it's the same symbol as the one on the monoliths but there's blood on the floor in front of a door so maybe a witch lived there. Who knows. But I'm so glad you finally noticed the monoliths because I noticed them a few years ago and I've been trying to find them all and those are all I could find. I even have screenshots. Hope this helps. Edit: The one in Kaer Morhen is northwest from the keep.

[@archkys]

4:25 The symbol on the floor is just a Triskel, a Celic symbol while the symbol on Anna hand is probably just the 3 thread and needle from the moires (that's their symbolic)

[@silvananivis9867]

I think they use the triskelion for Melitele and Freya too, no? Threefold goddess, mother/virgin/crone, etc.

[@yar3333]

thanks, I was also thinking about that symbol, because it was used in Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice!

[@celticbabs3105]

7:54 Geralt pirouette attacking Eredin at Corvo Bianco while Ciri nonchalantly walks by without reaction was hilarious. LMAO

[@Gabriela-d7w]

I was just watching a playthrough in Polish and one thing struck me - as I never thought about it before. Wanted to share it. In the quest with Dandelion's girlfriends when you visit the girl who teaches children- I realized there's a strange connection between Marabella and Black Beauty that was "born" when you freed the spirit from the tree. First of all - Marabella would be "Mara - Bella" when in Polish "Mara" is part of the name the horse gets after becoming the spirit's reincarnation - in Polish it is "Czarna MAra" (sort of indirect translation would be black mare which is exactly what it is - a black mare). So for "Mara" in Mara-bella this could come from the "mare" (english) or "mara" (polish, in polish "mara" means... evil ghost and in english mare means a female horse which is basically two coincidences in just one word). For the second part "Bella" is another meaning for "beautiful" (Italian) and the horse is named "Black Beauty" - so basically her name would be a multi-language but rather direct mix of "beautiful + female + black + horse + evil ghost). On top of that Marabella admits to a weird fascination with the horses, adores them and writes poems about them. Not to mention this is the exact place where you will find the kids. Spent 800 hours in that game, always freeing the spirit to save the kids and I just came up with this this very moment. I find that super intriguing and as I usually watch your videos I just had to log in and share it with you!

[@xLetalis]

Hah, this is interesting indeed! I should mention it somewhere, thank you for sharing, I never would've guessed since I don't speak Polish

[@karolinakuc4783]

​@@xLetalis But you Bulgarians also share myths with other Slavs. Mara is a goddess of death in Slavic mythology. Wasn't she at least a bit popular in Bulgaria. Weren't there at least some temples of her cult?

[@xLetalis]

@@karolinakuc4783 We call her Morana in Bulgarian, but I haven't heard of any temples honestly... Most of the pre-Christian stuff here is Roman/Greek or Thracian, and later Christianity was still quite dominant, I don't think there were any major Slavic cults, it's mostly passed on as myths and legends of old.

[@GabrielaB-iw2zq]

@@xLetalis Yeah, I had no idea if the connection is in the other languages too - so just checked German and the "Black Beauty" is translated directly to "Schwarze Schönheit" ("black beauty", duh!) and French (" la beauté noir" - also direct translation) but I guess Polish and English are primary languages for the game so everything was translated either from Polish or English based on how stuff was developed and what was more fitting. Marabella is Marabella in both French and German so not much of a wordplay there.

[@adrien5814]

@@GabrielaB-iw2zq 8 months later but a lot of wordplays aren't translated in French in witcher 3, especially for character names. Dandelion is called Jaskier because it was not translated, otherwise his name would have been Pissenlit (which is ridiculous so that's probably why they never translated it)

[@brookyburak1002]

About the "Hanged Witch" stones there is that same rock just above the village of the cursed pigs (can 't remember the name now) and if you allign your camera with other small stones it leads you to a shrine which has impaled bloody sticks and other ritualistic stuff. İt may be about evil witches or a leshen sacrifice place you should look it up @xLetalis !

[@nusia459]

Oh and about that village I once notice that this peasant guy from this quest was doing magic but I’ve never notice this again

[@Engine33Truck]

Totally didn’t realize you could hang Millie’s painting in Corvo Bianco. Must make a note to do that on my next playthrough

[@jackobn.m.g.4806]

I actually had the pig eat my horn of plenty and it seemed that the only way to complete the quest without losing it is to drop the horn into a chest before the quest. I tried having an apple in inventory apart from the horn but it ate the horn anyway (maybe it was due to the fact that it had the lowest "healing" per bite potential)

[@xLetalis]

[@silvananivis9867]

Hey xLetalis! I'm not sure if you figured this one out already but it's about Filibert von Wittan in BaW... ☺ In his journal (which you can loot in the stronghold) he mentions that he was bested in a duel by a man named Maximus Nonius Macrinus. I found it to be rather odd they went with a name like Nonius if they wanted it to be Latin-y... So I did a bit of digging: - Maximus = the greatest; the best - Nonius = Roman family name related to number 9 - Macrinus = not obvious, but comes from macer + inus. The word macer means skinny or thin and derives from the Proto-Indo-European word *mh₂ḱrós.... Now, from that PIE word, the Irish word méar came, meaning... FINGER. This means that Filibert "Fourfingers" was bested and got his finger cut off, being reduced to only 9 fingers by a man named The Greatest Nine Fingers 💀

[@xLetalis]

Hah interesting :)

[@MastahWu]

Say one things about Logen Nine-Fingers. Say, he fights everybody.

[@W._Langman]

Never noticed Shani's necklace, but have a look at Hubert's brooch and all the medical examiners too, I believe. They have wings but only one snake. Bizarre. Great video as always

Yeah I was thinking maybe he can freecam the areas during that quest and assess the flora there to see if anything matches.

[@Valhallaeiru]

It's always a pleasure to discover something new about this game with you! Makes me want to play it over and over again.

[@AdamFeuerauge]

The magic symbol that you found is called a “triskel“ it’s a very common symbol even in ancient real life mythology and is often associated with things such as magic, power or druids because of the number 3. the trinity of past, present, future ; birth, life, death ; son, father, Holy Spirit ; earth, water, air Is supposed to hold great paranormal strength.

[@codaish]

8:46 Not sure if it was already talked about on this channel but I also encountered similar Henge-like monoliths in Velen. It was at a guarded location with an earth elemental I believe not too far north of the Nilfgaardian camp. I did some digging around on the internet and one person pointed out that it was a possible reference to the quest in the Witcher 1 where you had to free and fight an elemental by completing a puzzle. it's little details containing mysteries like this scattered around Velen that are just part of what makes it my favorite region in The Witcher 3.

[@margo_gin]

There were no elementals in W1, there was a golem (the most frustrating fight of my life TBH), and there's a little reference to it somewhere north of the No Man's Land map. BTW @xLetalis plans to make a video about references to W1 in W3 anytime soon?

[@codaish]

@@margo_gin oh good catch! ik that elementals are from that class but apparently the elemental specification didnt get introduced until TW2... my bad Now that I think about it I do wonder if the monoliths I was talking about in my original comment could have been Elven ruins as well. they had symbols similar to the ones from Wandering in the Dark

[@margo_gin]

@@codaish and have you noticed the same symbols in Skellige? When you're riding to Kaer Trolde for the first time, you'll pass a merchant, and across the road there are several bandits (they usually get killed by bees), and on the mountain next to them, there are the same symbols, the swallow, the horse, the sea monster. Weird, huh?

[@codaish]

@@margo_gin yes!!! The world of the game is so detailed I wouldn't be surprised if there are countless of them to be found elsewhere. I live for little details like that honestly They could very well be remnants of the Aen Seidhe elves who once wandered there. that or the works of druids practicing magic

I am playing Blood and Wine atm.....so in that quest where a couple are fighting in the crypt (Till Death do us part)I decided to inspect the cemetary in the morning....(usually I go at night} and the number of things you find is hilarious like a pair of 'bloomers'. Geralts take on that is really funny. Also (maybe I'm slow) I noticed that if you save the Spotted wight and she becomes your cook, during a conversation with her (Hunger Games) you can hear the Hearts of Stone theme. I know this was always a suspicion that he was involved with that curse......but this kinda confirms it.

The cursed pig symbol is the triskelion which is said to be used by Scot ''druids'' back in 15th century for rituals if I recall correctly. I don`t think it has to do with the crones but could well be something to think about the druids in Skellige?

[@kristianstepancic3440]

i remember noticing shani having the correct necklace and was impressed that the devs knew the difference between the two, but i guess not at first. still, fair enough, most of ppl are mixing the two up and the fact that they corrected it show that they put attention into making details like this right. also fun fact, but in my med school they were telling us it's not actually a snake, but a worm - there's a very old and effective treatment method of guinea worm that pulls the worm out by carefully winding it around a stick over days or weeks. it's really an ingenious method and still used today instead of some massive surgery or toxic meds to kill or remove the worm. i know this origin of the rod of asclepius is considered only a theory, but one i think has a lot of merit. fortunately for shani, the worm likes warmer climate, so she most likely won't have to treat any instances of it, despite being a field medic

The symbol is a triskelein in a summoning circle. It's an extremely old pagan symbol and can refer to threes in nature - mental/physical/spiritual, land/sea/sky, maiden/mother/matron. The hags may use it because it is ancient like them. The pig god thing, with other obvious decoration differences to the hags, makes me think it was once an old diety like them. Maybe they trapped it like the mother, but unlike her, it died.

[@WebertHest]

The story of how the Caduceus (two snakes) got mixed into the symbolism of the rod of Askelpios (one snake, or more likely, one worm), is quite interesting. The two-snake symbol came to be associated with the element of Mercury (and the analogous god), and then mercury got mixed into all kind of "medicine", so then it became associated with pharmaceuticals and medicinals, and then you add on the heavy occultism of the early enlightenment, and presto, you have two snakes on a rod and one snake on a rod, who's to say what is what? And then in modern times you have the US Medical Corps being rural hicks who don't know their mythology. Since the world of the witcher is quite advanced in some scientific fields, and has had, or at least is having its own enlightenment period now, you could easily make the argument that the same mix-up occured there too.

Today I learned about the snakes and Hermes. Always thought it was other way around.

The cool thing about the caduceus still being used in the incorrect context w/ Shani's clinic in Hearts of Stone is that it still does fit in with the DLC thematically, bc it's frequently associated w/ trade, thieves and negotiation which are consistent in Gaunter O'Dimm's character and the story of HoS as a whole. So even if it may be an accident, it still fits in well with Hearts of Stone's narrative and can even serve as a symbol of Gaunter's omnipotence + lingering presence. And there's a statue of a snake by Shani's house in The Witcher 1 too that also appears to have wings at the top which is cool.

You can find the "crowns"' symbol into Blood & Wine on a rock next to the shack of the Pirnatri's Hermitage, where is the funny quest involving Roach and mushrooms. She joined a group of self-floggers, maybe that symbol is linked to that group ?
