5+ Details You Missed About Orianna | 5th WITCHER 3 Anniversary 

Thank you all for being with me for the past 5 years... I wouldn't be here without you.

Witcher 3 aged like a fine blood.... and wine

XLetalis *spots a ledge* XLetalis' brain "do it"

I never noticed the parallels between the game and the trailer in how Orianna moves, that's so much attention to detail!

Drunk Regis was once killed by angry peasants, staked through the heart, IIRC, even head cut off. Took him some 50 years to heal, dig himself out and become a recovering bloodaholic. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Geralt "killed" Oriana as a temporary punishment for exploiting the children.

isn't the launch trailer the Geralt's final battle with Orianna? he did say he was coming back for her, and we never got the fight in the game, so i think the trailer for the game was the battle that Geralt wanted. CDPR did a good job completing the entire arc and not leaving anything loose.

orianna gives children to the unseen elder, thats why shes "special" and thats why she has the key, so she can just bring him chiidren any time

Oriannas song give me goosebumps all this years

TBH Orianna was never explicitly shown to be a higher vampire in the game...we know she is very ancient and she can easily shapeshift and pass as a human, but we know those traits to be common among bruxae....so nothing forbids that she is a bruxa (meaning a "higher kind of lesser vampire"), but so old and skilled that she can easily pass off as a higher vampire. This would also explain why she was so fierce in protecting her orphanage: unlike higher vampires that see blood as a narcotic substance, lesser vampires actually require blood to survive, and thus she treated the orphanage not like a "wine cellar" to occasionally drink in order to pass time, but (as stated by Geralt) as a "larder for provisions" in order to feed herself

We all be here at the 50th anniversary "things you missed about the npc that coughs #200"

Orianna being a bruxae in the trailer is probs just the result of the initial story draft. She probably was one before in game but as development progressed she became a higher vampire as a character instead and so was changed.

"You know how Orianna starts singing to the scared boy, that same song which she sings during the witcher 3 launch trailer?" Yeah as if I would ever be able to forget that. Making a launch trailer that tells the finale to the story not only before the expansion pack came out, but even the main game. And hardly anyone knew it untill she started singing. And I didn't even see the trailer before first playing that scene. I cannot even imagine the feels of realizing it in that very moment. For these reasons she is among my absolute favourite characters or should I rather say, best written ones. About Orianna beeing a bruxa or a higher vampire....I always asumed that CDPR wasn't entirely sure when they made that trailer and B&W and the vampires were still a work in process. She is a bruxa in the trailer without the slightest doupt (Yet no one ever seems to mention the swarm of birds flying off when Geralts rides for Beauclair). I personally consider her to be a "higher bruxa", if that makes any sense. In a way that she is just a very old bruxa. What you mentioned about the risk of her, as the guardian to the key, dying...well I don't think it is too serious. The vampire codex is extremly strict when it comes to turning against your own kind (As we saw with Regis) so I don't think there is really any threat from their own side. The only serious danger to them would be witchers or mages. And I am pretty sure that 99% of witchers are not gonna mess up with a strong bruxa. Not on purpose and full intention to start a war against them. Mages on the other hand...we don't really have enough canon in that regard to be honest. I would say that most either don't know enough about vampires in the first place, are to weak to challenge them or to scared to take the risks?

CDPR's work is so deep. 5 years later witcher 3 is still going on fantastically. I doubt everyone knows everything about the game. Can't wait for Cyberpunk2077.

It's true that Orianna may seem like a bruxa in the trailer but remember that she is the only female (possible) higher vampire so, since it has never been shown someone like her, there could be a possibility that female higher vampires look similar to bruxae or alps. Who knows? Another strange story that goes in the (already very long) list of higher vampire inconsistencies 😂

Its year 2050 Another video on witcher 3 about 10 details you missed about lambert poem

I realized something about the crones, when you completed the about the whispering Hillock quest the Crones will say something like "now you shall chase shadows and wander midst fog" and "each time you see her, she shall be a mirage" they are speaking the truth, you will wander midst fog on the isle of mists and if you do the hym quest for Cerys you will find a mirage of Ciri.

I think Orianna is definitely a Higher vampire, but that's she's maybe able to take on the form of a bruxa, like Regis can turn into a giant bat. Also, because she follows the exact method of humans as 'cattle', like is described in those letters you find at Tesham Mutna. Just not as extreme, by letting the children live and focus on the blood "quality". Which makes them a perminent source of 'food', and less likely to get human mobs trying to expose and drive her off.

Plz do one with details you may have missed in The Witcher 3's 5th Anniversary video

Major spoilers below: My theory is, ever since I finished the dlc, I have started seeing the blood and wine menu in a new light. It's Geralt preparing for a fight with Orianna because she has, yes, killed Regis because Regis killed Detlaff. In witcher 2 (and maybe 1 as well , I haven't played it), Geralt had to meditate before fights to drink potions etc. They removed it in 3 for utility sake but *that is* the conventional way of a witcher preparing for a fight. So that's why he's sitting and meditating outside the shed. And orianna knows he's coming for her, hence she's pacing in the background awaiting the fight. It's almost like she low key respects him. She knows he fought Detlaff to point of death even if Regis dealt the final blow. He can defeat her too. And then ensues what we see in the DLC teaser. Maybe she killed Regis under the command of the unseen elder or by mistake while fighting with him; vampires are uncontrollable when they're angry. So the timeline goes like this: Geralt and Regis choose to kill Detlaff (DLC), Orianna kills Regis (post DLC), Geralt learns of it and prepares to fight her (DLC menu), and then he fights and kills her (DLC teaser). Another thing that leads me to believe that Orianna killed Regis is because in the teaser, this was pointed out by my sister, she picks up the doll that Regis carries with himself and now she has it, classic symbolism for someone's death/murder. Yes, there is definitely an inconsistency with the bruxa and higher vampire thing. Maybe they didn't plan on making her a higher vampire when the teaser was made or released and then they decided to do it since it fit the story arc more. It could also be that they hadn't modeled or designed higher vampires during battle at the time.

hey, I hope u didn't already had that Detail, but in White Orchard there's a quest where u have to find a missing brother close to a battlefield, so if u go directly to the missing brother u get some sort of another dialog. then he sent's u to his brother and his dog, if u then speak's to his brother ,the quest is finished and u doesn't have to follow him. Later u can then find the body from the dead nilgaardian soldier

I knew the song was the same in the trailer, but the “nice tune” was a “nice touch”

Orianna can be both a bruxa and a higher vampire if the term "higher vampire" is a tautonym when applied to the name of the genus and species, which is not uncommon in real life for animals that are (or were previously thought to be) the only species in their genus. So in this context, that would mean that the genus higher vampire includes the species bruxae(Orianna), alps, katakans(Hubert) and the "true" higher vampires like Regis, Detlaff and the Elder. As for why she doesn't go along with Detlaff's command to raze the city, I have three possible theories: -She's under the authority of the Unseen Elder and thus under no obligations to follow a different higher vampire's orders. -Detlaff's "influence" isn't direct mind control and the vampires attacking Beauclair are doing so of their own free will because they agree with him and/or peer pressure from fellow vampires who do. -She may just be too old and powerful for him to boss even with the difference in species/rank. Alternatively: Bruxae and Katakans call themselves higher vampires to make themselves seem impressive, even though they're biologically not. What are humans going to do about it, run to a real higher vampire and tattle on them for trademark infringement?

It’s year 2077 “10 missed details about Witcher 3 main menu screen”

I always though that it was a bit weird that she was supposed to be just a Bruxa. For one Geralt seems to have way too many problems with her in the trailer while in the game they don't pose much of a threat. Even more perculiar is Orianna saying that in times past no witcher dared to hunt her, which is weird since Bruxae are tough, but not as tough as to deterr a witcher

"wolf asleep...." Constant goosebumps for the next 10 minutes

I didn't think of this as much of a detail but since you mentioned Orianna in the starting screen… there is the caretaker in another one

“Man this game has too many details” -Nobody ever

My theory on Orianna being a Bruxa is that, well we know that each Higher Vampire has a unique ability/talent that only he or she has. While playing the game and seeing how she was portrayed and making the parallel with the trailer I just assumed that Orianna’s ability is to transform to a Bruxa.

This game was one of the best games I’ve ever played, me being of Polish roots it’s amazing to play through one of my most beloved book series. Happy Anniversary Witcher!!

Played the Witcher3 in 2022, the graphics and details are still good. Amazing game.

there's one of those vampire marks near the place where we find the grandmaster griffin gear(I don't remember which piece), you are attacked by a garkain and a fleder if you go there

nearly five years of these videos and every single one still has something in them that i didn’t know before about the witcher 3. much respect

Love your witcher content man

Just found your channel after my first ever playthrough and I am LOVING your awesome content. Keep up the good work!

I been changing it up with my game play. I go to novigrad first or skelligde. I am not velen because you get the mysterious passager quest. Plus you can get kinda information about Gaunter O Dimm as the merchant. Different dialogue with baron and his daughter if you see her first before velen about menga and witch hunters. Great video as always.

Orianna is my absolute favourite character. I love everything about her, from the way she holds herself to just her facial features. She has this fantastic aura of mystery around her, yet her character is so natural, so easy to understand.

If anyone is looking for orianna's song, it's called "lullaby of woe" .....although I'm not really sure who the original maker and singer of the song is.... It's either Marcin Przybylowicz or Ashley serena (i personally prefer the Ashley serena version)

10:35 buddy. Most of us did as soon as we opened the video. I really love you and All the content you made. I think you started about a year ago with these 'what you missed' vids and they really helped me get my mind off of things. A year ago i was dealing with alot. Was going trough alot of shit and dark times. It where among these video's that i Could find some lights of joy and distraction. What im saying is, we love you and apreciate the hard work. And shoutout to all who help in spotting the details

Wow! I missed SO MUCH! Thanks! :) Happy 5th Anniversary! 🍷

I just found out your channel after i started to play witcher 3 for a second time . You are amazing ! You do so much research and effort on the videos . Huge respect !

Absolutely outstanding! I agree, this game has aged fantastic and you Letails definitely have a hand in keeping it fresh. The video content keeps getting better, no pressure lol. I super enjoy your content like everyone here I'm sure and just want to say thank you for all you do. You are appreciated my friend 🙏🏾

All these times, "The Night to Remember" is a spoiler. Under our nose. They played us like a damn fiddle! 😤😤😤

I didn't expect the "Nice tune" one, that's really a nice detail. Good video as always, thanks for the content and be good too !

I missed a couple of them. Didn't do the Unseen Elder on the first playthru so that is always new. I like the last one with the boy under the wagon, don't recall that at all and it is a nice touch. Well done!

I love all of your videos about the witcher 3, hope you will keep up the good work on cyperpunk 2077.

That boy-under-the-wagon dialogue is brought on the stage after 5 years? Is CDPR working with aliens to make games?

The attention to detail is so admirable and much appreciated. I don’t know a lot of games who pay that much attention to detail.

Thank you for all these films.Keep up the good work

Even though I've known most of those details watching TW3 scenes makes me want to play it again. What will this be my.... **10**th odd time lol. I've literally lost count. Either way xLetalis great work as ever mate.

Happy anniversary to one of my favorite games of all time. I still remember my first playthrough when I saw Orianna for the first time. I kept thinking to myself "she looks so familiar...who is she?" The feeling I had when I realized later was fantastic....

Witcher 3 is 5 years old!! Incredible. Still looking to replay the game. And I think you are the best WT3-RU-vidr I have ever seen. Your videos should be airing on Netflix! Keep doing such amazing job!!!

I always enjoy watching your videos, thanks for still making them!!

Hey, there is a reference to Pablo Picasso painting in the main game, when you go to speak with Avallac'h to the general of eredin, the painting looks like a picasso. The quest is Through Time and Space

I also noticed a detail about Gretka in the base game. When you first find her while playing as Ciri and ask her what she is doing in the woods, she will tell you her parents sent her out to find and follow a trail of treats. Later in the game you find out the trail of treats leads to the crones and that parents with misbehaving childeren send their kids out on the trail meaning Gretka was supposed to find the crones, but didnt. P.S: The whole story actually relies on Gretka, since she leads Ciri to The Wolf King where she saves the guy that leads her to the Baron.

Your sound is soothing and calming 🙂

I have been watching your videos lately and I decided to play the game again (for a second time) cuz you reminded me how great this game is :)

Wow, 5 years. Getting the feeling Witcher 3 will stand the test of time, whether it is 10 years or 20 years (or more). Just an amazing game that's great to get back into every now and then. It seems there's still a lot of secrets that I didn't know about. Ones which surprised me most were Geralt's "Nice tune" response after Orianna finishes her song, and Geralt saving and talking with the boy after killing the garkain. Probably because both of them I was basically rushing towards the next objective. Regarding the vampire cult, kinda surprised that there isn't someone like those fanatic priests we saw preaching in Novigrad.

give this guy a job in cd project damn

Nice catch!

Nice little video. It's been a pleasure to watch this series from you, even after making 100% on the game and having hundreds of hours in it.

Any chance you will do "things you may have missed in the Witcher 2" one day?

I know its common knowledge, but many people dont know that you can actually go for Orianna, pick the key to the Unseen Elder lair, and still go save Syanna in the fairy tail land after that. So, in the end of the campain, after saving Syanna, you can still go to the Unseen elder lair and visit some areas, grabbing some of the Han Geith set pieces, but not all of it, cause if you got too close of the Elder, he will kill Geralt on sight.

The level of detail is really something else. The same reaction to both the first time she sings and much much later in the trailer, my god. Bloody amazing!

Thanks for the vids as always really entertaining

Regis is the MVP of Blood and Wine no doubt and his voice actor is incredible

If a game makes me read 8 books it has to be the best game ever happy Birthday Witcher3

Can't believe I'm still missing something when I watch your video dude...very good job ^^

I hope you never stop making Witcher 3 videos thank you so much they're fantastic

Orianna is definitely a higher vampire. I think higher vampires each have a form of a lesser vampire they can transform to during a fight or whatever, so Orianna would have the form of a bruxa.

My own headcanon for both Orianna and the Hubert was that they sort of evolved with age, although considering the link between the Unseen and Orianna this kind of falls off. I liked to think that since both seem to enjoy mingling with humans they had to develop something that would help them stay hidden in plain sight so to speak and this was a unique trait to them that made them "evolve" from other lesser vampires.

Literally been watching your channel since I’ve gotten the game, always increasing my playtime on Witcher 3 you’re at like 1000 hours and I‘m at like 850. Thank you for these videos always makes the experience better. That praying cult thing blew my mind

You the goat bro keep grinding

This may be the Mandela effect, but the first time I watched the anniversary trailer, I swear it had the Red Baron standing with his wife! Now she's gone! Spooky! Where the local people almost worship vampires, is a pleasant surprise! I'm loading up the game to find this right now! & I still applaud CDPR for using the DLC as their launch trailer, Kudos to them.

I still think that higher vampires are less a race and more of an elite. Maybe, some Bruxa do have the potential to become higher vampires, if they get old enough...

Incredible that you keep making these vids man 5 years after the game was released. That you are still able to keep the ‘things you’ve mist’ list growing shows what an incredible game this is and a big shoutout to you that keep entertaining us with these video’s.

So many things i learned through witcher 3.. and i know i am not the only one :) When i was 19 i learned so much. When i was 23 (now) i learned even more. And if I didn't look at or discover anything about secrets or anything like that in Witcher 3, you were always there, thank you, Letalis

- After all this time? - Always.

Luckily all the vampires in Witcher franchise are tolerants and reserved, if they want, they're able wipe out every kingdom and empire, only with a thousand of vampires of any kind. And more luckily the unseen elder didn't have any interest to do that.... especially in field.

Thanks for your awesome Witcher Videos =) ( i've watched the playlist many many times )

How this guy can find so much details like this with such precision, keep the good work bro

I thought the "yeah I figured it out" scene was actually pretty funny. I realized Orianna was already a vampire when she said that her and Detlaff had been friends for ages. And I had anticipated that to be some sort of large story reveal and was rolling my eyes because they made it too obvious, then, lo and behold, they just casually mention it and move on, and make me feel like an idiot for thinking that I was being clever. Also, I feel like it's pretty well established that Bruxae cannot hide their physicality very well. That's why, whenever you see them in public, they're in large cloaks and hiding their hands. It seems more likely to me that Bruxae basically just look and act like Higher vampires, but they cannot blend in well with humans. Like, I bet a male Bruxa would look a lot like Regis or Detlaff. It's just that Higher Vampires can have more evolved forms than the one that looks like Bruxae.

This expansion can be sold standalone and still be GOTY and beat many AAA games !

great video, I think it would be a cool idea to make a video on all the things that can be easily missed in the land of a thousand fables and there are so many cool easter eggs and references

Another great video. Keep it up

10:51 LMAO

The best detail is that the trailer is the end of the game.

Nice, thank you for the video mate

@5:37 - thank you man - that's my avatar and actual desktop wallpaper at the moment! You surely know how to make me happy ! ^^

My theory is this: Maybe Orianna is indeed a Bruxa, but is packing with the Unseen Elder, that is why she knew exactly whe the Unseen Elder is. Moreover, a Bruxa under the Elder's command could be much stronger (or could be more respectable) that why she didn't give a sh*t about the two higher vampires or everything around her (the city on fire part) she only answer to the Elder.

I've found some small details on the brothel in Toussaint. First, there's the painting of naked Geralt in there! Haha (I think it only shows up if you complete the quest "A Portrait of the Witcher as an Old Man", of course.) And second, I liked how you can see the difference of how sexuality is seen between Toussaint and Novigrad. While in the Passiflora brothel the men prostitute treats Geralt in a very rude way and curses you, but in The Belles of Beauclair the men prostitute treats Geralt very well, and they actually flirt with you.

Ohh I love your videos!!! Especially about vampires, thank you sooo much.

Thank you very much for this video. I have always found the Witcher trailer very haunting and wondered more about the woman. Now I know a lot more about her. Thank you.

It's possible Orianna is a Bruxa, she's just not part of Dettlaff's "pack" so to speak. She has no ties to him, she holds no loyalty to him, and she's not compelled to answer his call. Just because you're a Higher Vampire, it doesn't mean you hold absolute dominion over the lesser types. Otherwise, Regis wouldn't have needed to put down the Bruxae that attacked him in the epilogue; he could have just uttered a word, and they'd be gone just like that. And besides, if Orianna is aligned with anyone, it would be the Unseen Elder.

I really hate this topic about higher or lesser vampire.. It just brings more questions, i saw ur vid where u talked about it.. I would Like to share my point of view.. So in my opinion.. Regardless of what u have said about it, i think that every vampire who can think and speak like a human is higher vampire.. Others are just Like beasts (lesser vampires), but there are more types of higher vampires.. For example regis and dettlaff they are both higher vampires but not on the same level.. This is how i see it and it makes sense in my understanding

Thank you for the upload sir, and the dedication.

Yet another gem from your channel! Thank you Got any ideas for your next video?

Literally no one: xLetalis in 2020: 26 things you might have missed about Odrin (Part 1 or 7)

I’ve played the game so many times but never came across the Orianna orphanage.. But I never pick the unseen elder route

Congratulations to Witcher 3 and to you for keeping up and doing such a great job informing us of all these missed details

Still love your work, your content is extremely interesting to me, keep on doing it friend!
