10 Details You Probably Missed in Novigrad | THE WITCHER 3 

*Talking about romance theme suddenly plays Geralt: *NOT SO FAST, ROACH*

Random mage: Tells you his life's story Geralt: LETS PLAY GWENT

In Carnal Sins, while looking for the right body in the morgue, there is another dwarf body you can look at. Gerald will say something along the line of "This must be him" and Gratz will say "This one's female actually... Remember, beards are no indication of gender among dwarves." That cracked me up!

In Novigrad I went to the very end of the docks, and a bandit yelled at me "your mother is a hamster and your father smells like elderberries" .. just this one bandit.

It's incredible how there are still things we missed years later.

Near the village that you help both Roche and Vess in Velen, there is a tree in wich you can find a hanged corpse, if you examine it you can find a note of some newly made book, about the war between Redania and Nilfgaard, in which is implied that the hanged corpse is indeed the scholar from Oxenfurt that introduces the basics of Gwent for Geralt at the tavern from White Orchard.

Never has a game given so much for so little.

"i hate to go from romance to burning people alive..but i must" - best line ever haha lmao

“They said I could work for them, or they’d break my legs” Geralt: “oh cool wanna play cards”

During the quest "A Walk on the Waterfront" when you have to escort and act as a bodyguard to Ginter de Lavirac, when you get to the meeting place with the fisstech dealers, one of them asks who Geralt is, and Ginter says "He's my gardener". It reminds me of when in The Two Towers, Frodo introduces Sam to Faramir and he asks if Sam his is bodyguard, and Sam says he's his gardener.

witcher 3 is still the GOAT after 4 years..... Best game ever

Here's another thing people are likely to miss: During the "Without a trace" quest, you can find the halfling dead and half-eaten by the cannibals couple in Erde. If you kill them, then return later, there will be a bunch of alghouls near their corpses. Geralt will then remark how much of a poetic justice it is that they should be gnawed upon by necrophages.

I found the bench on my third playthrough right as the sun was setting. Blew me away that such beautiful detail was so hidden in the game.

9:50 I was actually surprised they didn’t include Iorveth OR even Yaevinn, Considering the scoia'tael no longer pose a proper threat to the north or even nilfgaard, just having them disappear from the story has left an empty space for people especially who’ve played the entire series... I loved how they included Roche and even Thaler into the story, rather short but very sweet also loved how you could invite Roche to kaer morhen... Would’ve loved something like that for the scoia'tael side of things...

"Clearly you find gonads fascinating." The look on Geralt's face at that moment.... LMFAO

In Novigrad you can also find hookers saying "This is a material world and I am a material girl", which is a line in Madonnas song "Material Girl". Aswell you can find drunk people saying "To puke or not to puke, that is the question", which is a referance to the quote "To be or not to be, that is the question" from Shakespeares Hamlet.

In witcher 1 when geralt wakes up in triss’s house he can catch a conversation between triss and another sorceress, where she will ask triss about “her witcher” and will give an advice to triss: “never let the witcher know what you have done to him” - i think its about triss didnt mentioned yennefer, tried to use geralt amnesia to get him on her side, so she was already despaired in witcher 1.

People: *searching for interesting moments in the game* Me: *trying to jump upon dwarves*

The level of commitment in the making of this game will never cease to amaze me. Hats off.

1:46 when Geralt shoots a quick glance at the player for choosing "genitals" a second time XD. though it could be an eye tracking bug, the times he does this throughout the game its almost always appropriate to break the 4th wall "like seriously?"

In count reuven's treasure quest, you could help triss to burn menge's "shack" down by igni-ing it. And triss will respond "thank you for your help geralt" with a few brief dialogue. Just found it today, neat.

fun fact, in my country, Croatia, we have an actual city called Novigrad here! So it was so funny seeing that in the game I was like "what?? Our Novigrad???" and it's also medieval city on the Mediterranean coast with walls around just like in the game. There's also a city called Maribor in Slovenia, country next to us, that is also mentioned in the game. we had many Polish tourists for decades here I'm convinced the writer was once in Croatia or was inspired by our coast at least to use that name. some of the locations in the game like Novigrad and parts of Toussaint look really familiar and close to home to me, and so do the Slavic names, culture and lore... so things game is special to me :)))

Iorveth was supposed to be in the witcher 3 but was cut due to Issues with the main story. The developers said something along the lines of "We could've probably crammed him in to the final product but thats not how we do things. If we are going to have him in the game then we must do the character justice and not just half ass it"

Great video! One more detail, in case it wasn't already mentioned in the comments: When you walk through the village at Glory Gate and Portside Gate you can overhear several women complaining about a woman named Julia and her many cats and that she was part of a band that raided elven ruins and that she is in the possession of some treasure. Julia lives in a hut near Portside Gate with ten (?) cats. Unfortunately, you can't talk to her, but she seemed to have lost her mind. Inside her hut, you can find a note that explains why.

ok lets play this game one more time

"I made a hole other video... About me stalking her all around the place" That just sounds extremely wrong.

hi there i'm Polish :) want just to make something clear XD czarodziejki - sorceresses, wiedźmy - witches (in Polish "czarodziejki" have a good meaning while "witches" is kinda negative, depends on story.)

The level of detail in this game is insane. I’m constantly marvelling at everything I see and hear.

Strongly agree! Iorveth SHOULD be in the game. I miss his snarky elven butt lol!

Dammit mate, stop making these videos you’ll end up making me go for a 5th run through the game!:(

12:25 Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Yeah, this Game is blessed with Love to Details. The Team of CDPR will forever have my Gratitude!

Before Blood and Wine, Novigrad was my favorite haunt. It’s the one place that really took me back to the books.

That tree detail explains the title for the romance song, “The tree we sat once.”

During the quest now or never, when you choose to save Berthold and Anisse, after defeating the witch hunters there and before leaving the house, Geralt can talk to the people near the door before leaving the house for the dialogue of turning those two in the witch hunters.

I saved the guy, realized he is meritz, reload saved file and watch him burn on stake 😏😏

Man i waited for a long time for this!! better get my snacks

Just a small one, but if you follow the thief just after having visited Triss's house in Navigrad, he will lead you through the mummer's theatre area and into the area of the statue carving business of the two dwarf brothers, one of whom is later murdered just before the attack on Priscilla. After you see him briefly after passing by the two brothers, the next time you will see him is in the morgue.

hey man!, i found a detail you didnt mention on your video maybe you know it and decide not to include it anyway here it is; There is a quest called "Out On Your Arse!" where you find a woman crying outside of a brother and tells you there are men inside from skellige causing problems. when you go inside to deal with it, if you havent finished the skellige part of the story your options will be either use magic to convince them to leave or kill them. but if you did the skellige quest and killed the ice giant, another option will apper where you can say something like " i've killed the ice giant, i dont think killing you will be a problem for me" after choosing this option skellige men will say " oh you are the geralt of rivia who killed the ice giant?! a friend of skellige is friend of us everywhere" and then they'll leave the brother in peace. its a minor detail maye you thought its so little that you dont need to include to your video but i wanted to let you know anyway. love your videos! keep up the good work mate!

After 435+ hours and several playthroughs, I still discovered a new quest by accident today: the one about the spies' deaddrops around the city and their (rather uninteresting) chest in the sewers. I remembered hearing Geralt whisper "Strange..." while passing by a certain place in the city but until today I was never able to find the particular brick in the wall and thus start the mini quest. Which lead me to check online if many people know about it and find another one I missed while doing so, the "Tome entombed", while I was also quite certain I had extensively explored the whole sewers. This attention to detail still has to find its match in any other game and unfortunately, Cyberpunk is still far from that, yet. Oh, and while I'm at it, your videos are really fun and interesting to watch so, thanks for your hard work!

With more videos I watch i question myself if I even played Witcher 3.

"You clearly find gonads fascinating" Damn CDPR, savage!

Cd pro: All right voice actor, today I need you to voice this line involving gonads which will probably be seen by like 1 person on planet. Voice actor: O_o

I found another quite interesting thing that's easy to miss: between Bowdon and Garin estate there is a really powerful golem for you to fight. Once it's dead, have a look at the corpse there and loot it to find a book. It's called "Igor de Sade's journal", and apparently the dead man was a fan of elemental creatures. In the book, he makes a reference to finding a destroyed golem in the swamp outside Vizima, and he is outraged that someone took it upon themselves to destroy such a creation. He also says who's done it: "... the vandalism was perpetrated by some white-haired witcher..." This is of course a direct reference to the golem fight in The Witcher 1. :)

There's probably I lot I left out but I do hope you enjoy it! Sorry for taking so long with this one!

Forever my favorite game

At the part where you first find triss's home, one of the looters mentions going through the sewers to find the king of beggers. When you leave her house, it automatically starts the quest where you follow a thief there, but you can find a sewer in the south part of the city to get there and skip that quest.

Always went with Iorveth in 2, I just like his character more, and his quest line is so much more interesting, there's major character development for him, where as Roche stays pretty much the same as when you meet him

Haha i played over 10000 hours of the witcher and i thought i found and discovered everything but still you always amaze me by the small things I've missed!!.. I'm starting to think that you might be an actual witcher

Similair to number 3 (may actually be the same but i couldn't free him) At that exact spot but way later into the game. I also found a dude getting burned alive. When I walked past it I heard him scream something like: 'That Witcher over there is the one who killed your hunters at the ball at vegelbuds, not me!' Pretty sure he was talking about those three guys who thought you were the alchemist and started attacking at that party. :)

A detail that I have recently discovered about Rosa var Attre in the "Broken Flowers" : if you tell the guard that you are a cook, he will not let you in and you will have to find the backyard of the Attre residence. There is a cave there, I think and outside of the garden wall there is a dead body with a love letter, addressed to Rosa. Also, you will be discovered by a guard who wants to throw you out, but Rosa finds you, tells you that she knows who you are and sends you in. Once you are in the basement of the house you meet Rosa again, who doesn't recognise you. There is a line of dialogue about it, when Geralt is confused about it and reminds Rosa that they have just met. Rosa then reveals that it was her twin in the garden, who promptly shows up. Also, ever wondered why the var Attre residence is right next door or accross The Passiflora? It is strange that a high-class official with two daughters lives so close to a brothel.

"czarodziejka" means "enchantress/ sorceress". The good/ beautiful kind.

Are u gonna make content like this for cyberpunk 2077?

I just noticed that during the quest "Pyers of Novigrad", when following the thief to the Putrid Grove, you can come across Fabian Meyer and his brother standing in front of one of their statues bantering about it. I love this game

"Some of them dance, rather provocatively" 😂😂 that killed me

OK - On my first playthrough there was a scene just south of Novigrad where some witch hunters were harassing some elves in the suburbs, and Geralt has the option of intervening and taking them out, then advising the Elves to leave town, as more are likely to come around. I don't know exactly HOW I triggered this scene (it was daytime, and it was in the same area as the Lady cleaning the hide who gives you the knife for the "White Lady" quest), but I haven't been able to trigger it again....I'm on my 3rd playthrough, and just can't figure out what I did to get it.

Great video. There were a few here I hadn’t seen before, like the bench outside Novigrad, and finding Dandelion’s things. Amazing that this game is still “giving” us so much enjoyment. Thank you for continuing to make Witcher videos. As long as you keep making them, I’ll keep watching them. Cheers!

Can't believe I actually missed almost all of these tiny details lol. Thanks for the video man. 😁

I usually spare the Scoia'Tael in 'Woodland Beast' quest. I thought about it a lot, but killing them also makes sense. Even though it is not up for Geralt to judge, since there is no monster involved (Witcher Codex), you would still playing into their hands if you agreed to let them live. If you spare them, than they will continue with their raids on everyone. Look closely at the victims they attacked you'll see that the victims were definitely no soldiers. Unfortunately, if you did decide to kill them straight away, Geralt will tell the captain that the Scoia'Tael was behind the attacks. Therefore the redanians will most likely focus on exterminating innocent non-humans as well, which is the developer's way to make the situation that much harder, which is kind of silly because you should have still the option not to mention the Scoia'tael. Still sparing the Scoia'Tael is definitely not an easy decision, the developers really did a splendid job to create situations where both options seems to be as equally gray. Many will still spare the Scoia'Tael out of ethical reasons, even though they all deserve death after what they did or what they have it in their power to harm innocents in the future. The same goes for sparing Gaetan, Karadin, the cannibal people in Erde and even Dettlaff. But these situations are made up so complex that every option seems neither right nor wrong. This is therefore one of the best games I ever played.

Seriously - the best game ever. Third time through it to discover the Ciri/Queen ending and there is so much more to discover.

10 things missed in Touissant? I feel I was very superficial during that DLC

Seriously awesome that years later people are still finding references and notable details in this game.

I actually met Moritz again: I saved it from fire after Triss was shipped, and than somewhere in Novigrad i found him again, asking help knocking at someone's house while guards where chasing him. After saving him, Geralt just told him to hide better or something like that. Sadly i don't rembember anything else.

After playing the The Witcher 3 " including HoS and BaW " 6 times on PS4.. I am definitely planning on playing it again when I have the budget to build a powerful PC to experience this Masterful game in its full potential.

the notification got me hyped, never clicked on anything faster

Here is detail I found but cannot prove, maybe you can try it: In the quest "Of Dairy and Darkness" when you make it through the cheese maze Geralt will talk about how he can't wait to tell the story to Vesimir about his "Trial of Cheese". However the other day I was playing on the expansions + (BW or HOS only, with main quest done) he does not say that line. Maybe this is because Vesimir is dead? I don't know if this is true because I've only ever done that quest before Kaer Morhen. He also says a line later about he needs to tell Lambert that foglets are immune to smell of old cheese. Maybe if Lambert died in your playthrough he won't say that either? Who knows, try it out!

The line from the mage in the crematorium is the same as the apothicary's line when you play him in Thronebreaker. lovin' it.

The kind of dedication you put into exploring the game is really great, thanks! I also think the Witcher 3 is easily the best game that was ever made. There is so much to find and explore, the story has so many details, the voice acting is brilliant. It will be a great game even in ten years from now.

I saw the King of Beggers, Francis Bedlam during the Pricilla's song at the Kingfisher

Don’t know if you’re doing Skellige soon, but if you do, I noticed something yesterday I haven’t seen anyone mention anywhere just yet, which I thought you might be interested in. It’s when you leave Crach an Craite, just after he’s told you about the things each of his children need help with and not to worry about Ermion being an obstacle. If you wait in the entrance hallway, you’ll see a servant knock some things over on a shelf, so I kept watching him. Youll then see him pour smoking green, poison-looking liquid into the containers - long before the scene with the bears at the party. I found that pretty impressive. - he’s even rude to you if you try to talk to him during this, and says something to shrug you off, though I can’t remember the exact line.

So thankful for your content. Witcher 3 is a major part of my life for 5 months straight.. not close to putting it aside

There is a VERY subtle book reference I quite literally lucked into when I was leaving the hospital after finishing Carnal Sins, and one of the dudes outside on the porch quotes Rusty, the halfling surgeon from LotL and I had to double back wait until he repeated the line. "Red to red. Yelow to yellow. White to white..." A nice throwback but REALLY hard to find.

Wow. Your dedication in this game is crazy

Four years since it's release and this game still keeps on giving!

I like those little humorous points you put into your videos, makes them more lively!

Don’t know if this should count as novigrad, but there’s a little story bit after you complete the doors slamming shut contract that I don’t see anyone talking about. after you complete the contract, if you revisit the mansion outside of novigrad where you kill the elemental in the basement, the entrance to the basement is caved in and a servant at the front gate will tell you that the master walked into the basement and it caved in on top of him

"Wouldn't mind a few round of cards?" My favourite line

I still wonder why Geralt, Vesemir and especcially Yennefer looks so diferent ingame compared to the Intro of the Game and the trailers...

I have more than 300+ hours into the game and still discovering new stuff!!... Great video xLetalis, and what a LEGENDARY game!!!

You're one of the only youtubers I've heard who can be so clearly unscripted and yet be so entertaining. I love these videos, great work as always!

The merchant with all the bottles also buys items for full price. One of the only ones that I’ve found. He only ever has like 600 crowns but still nice early game if your tight on money

Iorveth was going to be in the game.It seems CD PR had a whole 'nother quest in mind but didn't carry it through. He's in a cave in the Devils Pit. You can't get to him as the gate is locked. But there is a mod at Nexus Mods "The Devils Pit" mod that allows you to open the gate up and explore the caves where you find Iorveth and Saskia. Although they do not interact.

These vids are awesome. I'm a detail oriented person (actually diagnosed OCD) and so I love it when people find things I didn't. Granted, I've played the game only once. Awesome catches! Also like how you use the name pronunciation tool 👍

Love it brother! Enjoy your work, keep it up

During the Scoia'tael quest, if you choose to fight the elves and use your fists to beat them instead of your swords, the leader and her lieutenant will get up and walk back to their tent a few minutes after the fight. They will be hostile and attack Geralt on sight, but you can leave them alive even after you have taken the loot from their bodies.

You remember the pen thing that erase memory in MIB movies ... I need one since i had finish this game , just to forget everything and redo it again ... and again ... and again ...

Just rewatching this again and I feel the need to thank you for inadvertently giving me an answer to something I've been wondering for a while. I somehow never saw the fire spitter in Hierarch Square before the next gen update - and by that point, I'd already played through the game at least 5 times and watched my partner play it several times before that, so it's not like I was new to Novigrad - so I wondered if he was new or if I'd just missed him. Now that I saw him in the background of your footage, I now know I just somehow missed the dude spitting fire into the air across multiple playthroughs. 😂 I love the conversation the two kids in front of him have about trying the act for themselves. Fingers crossed they either chicken out or someone responsible stops them before they can actually go through with it but I thought the dialogue had a very real feel to it. Kids have such a tendency to believe they can do anything. It's adorable and inspiring but also in scenarios like these, when they're sure to end up hurting themselves, downright terrifying.

dude this is awesome, so many things i have missed :D. Nice vid!

I enjoy your witcher video letalis, keep up the good work.

Do do was mentioned at the Doppler burning in pires of novigrad. He’s a book character btw who I misspelled.

I wish i could subscribe to a specific playlist or something. I like your witcher videos, but don't much care for any of the other stuff you make. I like keeping my sub feed neat.I still watch every one of these and press like on all of them. Keep it up man :)

This is so awesome man,i have about 500 - 600h in this game and i almost missed all of these, Thanks, this was a very enjoyable watch, keep at it!

Indeed one of the games I will remember for a very long time.

About Scoia'tael and their leader. Just leave the price for the beast and tell that soldier you didn't find anything. Later in the game, when you play Gwent, you can get really cool card from one of those Scoia'tael in the woods

I played through the game like 5 times, and never found some of these things. Thanks for sharing them, I'll try them out on my next playthrough.

very nice video! By the way, in case you may have missed it, there is a quest near oxenfurt called Spooked Mare. I encountered it on my 5th playthrough. It is about Scoiatel stealing horses. A nice detail I noticed is when you take 2 horses instead of the 1 they allowed you, they will attack. You will also get more reward when you take the wrong horse.

Find such precise and delicate details that actually matter in AC Odessey. That's right, they don't excist. Can't believe people compare the two.

Off topic but I love how you went through and read every comment that was posted and replied if need be. You have just earned a sub :)

Hey Letalis, I found your channel from the older swtor stuff, years later and still watching your videos ^_^ love the content bud

Fun fact: Odrin has made his way into Meve's army as well in Thronebreaker. When you click on the innkeeper in the mess tent, he'll mention he racked up quite the drinking tab the night before. What an absolute unit.
