9 Details You Missed after 9 Years of the Witcher 3. 

Ok, i might get emotional on this one but here we go. This game absolutely got me through most of the important parts in my life. I was 16 when it released, just finished high school and had no of what i was going to do with my life. I was raised by my mother and grandma as my dad had no interest in me, so it was kinda difficult sometimes. I used to find that fitting in was very hard, as i didn't have any friends because i was way too shy to interact with people. Since i played The Witcher 3 for the first time, a lot has changed for me. I can't say if the game had any sort of impact on me that was enough for me to change my personality somehow, all i know is that it has been on my life since this change started. I'm now married, managed to buy a house, got a PS5, gaming PC, a car... I've managed to conquer all of these things whilst playing The Witcher 3 at least once per year. It has been and It will always be my favorite game due to how deep, complex, relaxing and melancholic it is. Also, not only the game has been with me but your channel too. Been a longtime sub and watching your content for years aswell, wich is something that always made me feel like i was part of this community, with people that love The Witcher as much as myself. Anyway, i just want to wrap this up by saying thank you The Witcher, and thank you xLetalis for your content and helping me somehow. PS: i'm Brazilian so commenting in english is tough sometimes, if anyone reads this comment i'm sorry if i made any mistakes 😅

Damn... it's been awhile.

Native Hungarian Here: Pöttöm means really small, in a cute, kinda childish way

I will never get tired of watching you reveal details about my favorite game.

I can confirm that the Chinese text means 'Developer's dog'! The first three characters (kai-fa-zhe) mean developer, the fourth (de) is in this case effectively an apostrophe, and the last two (ai quan) can be translated as 'beloved dog'.

Side note: there are occasional unmarked caches of coins in Velen, specifically near carriages and other signs of conflict; look for logs or fallen trees, they don't glow when sensed but they are lootable. I'll have to go back and verify locations for reference. (it makes perfect sense; theres a war going on and survivors hide their money with plans to find it later. The caches arent tied to any quests)

I swear witcher 4 comes out and this man is still finding details in witcher 3. These videos feel like home

The effigy is from a witcher contract in Skellige. The one where you're supposed to look for a girls groom and you have to kill a siren. The quests name is ''Here comes the groom''. This effigy is some kind of shrine I think inside the sirens cave. Hope this help! :)

Almost a decade when it was released and xLetalis still finding hidden gems inside Witcher 3

2098: Xletalis: 10 more details you missed in Witcher 3

Can’t believe it’s been 9 years 🖤

8:45 Well, the map that comes with the physical edition of TW3 was created by Fabio Sachs himself, It even has his signature on the back of the physical version, so it makes sense that it exist in the game world. Fabio is the young guy who meets Ciri in Gors Velen in Time of contempt. Ciri sees in his future that he would be a famous explorer and would explore all the continent and even that new continent beyond the great sea!

That scar on Vlodimir's head is probably from how he got killed after Olgierd wished that his brother died

The effigy is Melosine, I think from one of the Skelliga quests

As a massive fan of Arthurian Legends, I can tell you- The sword in the stone and Excalibur are not the same blades. The sword in the stone is sometimes called "Caliburn", and is given to the Lady in the Lake after Arthur takes it out of the stone and is recognized for taking it out of the stone by the people. Excalibur also is notably different to Caliburn for the fact it has a scabbard, which itself is also magical and very important in many Arthurian stories. In some stories, Caliburn is just a simple sword with no magical powers, more recognized for its importance, not for any power it may possess. I'd also like the mention that the sword Geralt gets from the Lady of the Lake, Aerondight, is similar in name to the sword "Arondight", being Lancelot's sword.

last time I played the witcher 3 was in 2021. I still wanna go back to this game. I just bought the ps5 version but have to find 200 hours + in my life to play it again.

Less than a year before the 10th anniversary holy f*ck

I've been a member on the channel for almost a third of Witcher 3's life Here's to another decade of Witcher content dude!

That's crazy with the white rose at Anna's death site. Blood and Wine is absolutely colossal. It's breathtakingly beautiful and may as well be called Witcher 4.

The sound of the bells in Novigrad is basically 1:1 as the sound of the bells from Dark Souls 1! I never noticed it earlier, because I haven't played DS1 yet, but now after playing it, I can confirm that the sound is exactly the same. Amazing reference that makes me love the game even more

"The cake is a lie" is indeed from Portal. The villain, during the early stages of the game before outing herself as a villain, repeatedly offers cake as an incentive for completing her tests. At some point you pass through disused back areas where grafitti tells you "The cake is a lie," as a hint that the villain isn't what she appears to be. Regarding the back of Vlodimir's head, I'm pretty sure it's the wound that killed him. He mentions them "crushing his head like an egg."

I have a physical copy of this game, I got it in 2019 for nintendo switch. It came with some nice stickers, the map, and a table of content explaining Gerald's history, main characters, and the races from the witcher continent. it is really cool

Watching your details missed videos is like seeing an old friend, always appreciate the uploads 🫶

Should have done this ages ago. Thanks for all the fantastic Witcher 3 content over the years!

As a hungarian here I can confirm that "pöttöm" means very small, like I am sure you guys heard about the Andersen tale thumbelina. We call her Pöttöm Panna, or hüvelyk (thumb) panna. We use this term on a small child, small whatever living being. So diminutive is definetly the good translation for it.

In terms of the Glagolitic inscriptions reading 'dirty sl*ts' and 'mind the gap' these are commonly reused assets, I've found them throughout the game. I think the sl*ts one is meant to be on triss' house originally and the mind the gap is on sign posts as a reference to the London tube. 'Dirty sl*ts' shows up all sorts of fun places tho. I've seen it on tavern walls, tattoos, and even on the sign post of the Griggs Villiage in the fairytale illusion world. It's pretty comedic that they reuse that asset so often.

Pöttöm means really small in hungarian

@12:00 it's in Ard Skellig, not far from Kaer Trolde, inside a cave near the coast. It's made from ship wreck, if I remember correctly. You can access the cave and see the statue as part of a contract, so is not that hidden.

Witcher 3 is like an old friend you talk to again after ages and its like not a day has passed

The devs need to sneak in a GOAT named xLetalis. It's almost certain that no Witcher player would be upset if it's the Pellar's goat you replace. You're a legend man, thank you for the content.

11:57 Drowners contract in Skellige perhaps?

On the 9th year anniversary, im going for my 40th playthrough 😂🤣 can't get enough of the details.

12:00 Refugee's Camp (Southwest Velen's signpost) [ A guy starts preaching in front of a huge statue, to a "crowd" After a while, can see a peasant praying: "Merciful Verna!". Can't remember if it's this one that I just mentioned or another abadoned site that have this same statue too, though]

XLetalis: "I didn't know this map existed." *T'Challa points to XLetalis:* "Somebody get this man a physical copy of the Witcher 3!"

Thank you so much for all these years !! I never miss one of your videos ! (Won't miss a chance to see how you still find a way to include the "sell Ciri" scene and the lesbomancy one in every single video, legend)

It was probably covered in a previous video, but i found a cool detail in my new playthrough regarding any Ending in which Nilfgaard wins the War. I went back to the Center Army Group Camp in Velen to grab screenshots for Cosplaying reference, and out of curiosity i checked out the notice board because i had collected all notices way earlier in the Game. If you go back after the Game Ending and you went through with "Reason of State", you'll notice that there is a new notice in the Garrison, an express order from Vattier de Rideaux telling all Nilfgaardian troops to avoid engaging Temerian fighters at all cost, and that if any are found ( Temerians ) in combat with Nilfgaardian soldiers, it is an act of self-defence because Temerian Guerilla Fighters will cease conflict with Nilfgaard immediately.

Oh wow Letal, things we didn't know about the Witcher 3? Real original...I remember watching this exact same video about 7 years ag- oh...

i've been playing this game for years and never knew there was a map either til i got gifted the game on the switch, ur not alone bro

It's shocking the level of detail the devs go to in things like that white rose. It's that level of detail that made me spend hours wandering around Temple Isle looking for more content because it feels like it's just so polished for there to be nothing to do...thanks for another great video!

12:00 either when we tryna find Halmar questline, around undergeround big tree of life where the shallow lake melusines nested or big melusine hunt where big melusine nest

16:59 Almost spat out my drink there xD @xLetalis You have probably covered this in one of your previous videos about Blood and Wine, but I think (and hope) I found a secret. When you are in the fairytale land with Syanna, after you defeat the troll high up in the clouds, there is a cave there. A wisp guids you there. At the end of the tunnel you see a dead end, but also a small campfire, not lit. When you cast Igni on it, it changes into a sword in the ground. I immediately thought of that when you talked about the Sword in the stone easter egg. I hope I'm mentioning something new :D

Regarding Heart of stone dlc and musical references. During the start of the heist question, one of the guards Infront of the auction house sings a parody version of "indigo sisters"

Been enjoying your content since Corona virus. Good to hear you again man!

Happy anniversary Letalis, it's been so many years, thanks for everything! We love you!

“Spot” is a common name for dogs, in America at least, so Pöttöm meaning “dot” could also translate to Spot in a way.

Can't wait for the details you missed the movie for the 10 years anniversary of the witcher 3

5:25. THIS! I would never skip this type of a ad. :) Keep up the good work. Greetings from Czech republic

Absolutely crazy to think it's been 5 years since I started following you for the details I might have missed, thank you for keeping us all in the loop on these deets for the last 9 years man!

Steel for humans, silver for monsters... ...Banana for Tiger

another wonderful details you missed witcher 3 video, yay! been watching a good while now and I gotta say I really appreciate the amazing videos you’ve put out over the years... cheers! to the 9th anniversary and to the years full of witcherin times to come!

Man, it seems like yesterday i discovered your channel! Congrats on 9 years man, here's to 9 more!

Happy 9th... Your video's are the best. Thank you for all of the insights and play through ones you have done.

Great video! I’m happy to have found this channel a couple years ago. To many more 🥂

Another excellent work , i missed all those things

Thanks! Love your content. Glad to see you post more W3 vids.

Just started watching your channel recently. The quality is top notch and really cool information

Oh hell yea!!! Just yesterday i was doing a details missed video -binge here since starting a new playthrough and i was wondering when you will post the next time. Generally speaking, I'm usually pretty bad at consuming media when it's new, and I played TW3 for the first time during covid lockdowns. That's also when i found this channel. I gotta say that i'm so so so super happy that i got into the fandom just in time to be a part of your RU-vid community! There's no better feeling than seeing that upload notification pop up in real time and being able to watch the video freshly made! 😎 I know that logically there just must be a point in the future where every single detail has finally been found and covered, but i'm just happy that i got to come along for the ride until that point! And hopefully by then the next Witcher game will be closer to getting released, and we'll get another 9 years of xLetalis content from that! Kudos to you man for keeping the Witcher community alive. We love you! 🖤⚔️

Thank you for all your awesome W3 videos! I have seen most, if not all of them over the last couple years, and have made my last 2 or 3 playthroughs even more rewarding (after so many times through the story, the little things really help keep it fresh)

Thanks for this new video, xLetalis. I wish you and your family all the best.

No way your still doing this series im genuinely shocked your still finding things great videi as always.

Thanks! For another amazing vid!

Thank you for the video! Hope you and your family are well!

Thank you for untold hours of amazing facts and wonderful stories!

what a great video! well done

Amazing video, I'm so happy you still make them even after so many years. I just have a question, have you discovered that little extra piece of dialogue in White Orchard? When doing the quest Devil by the well, if you immediately jump into the well and find the bracelet first, Geralt says something like "I wonder where is the rest of the body". Then, when you find the journal he says "That bracelet must have belonged to Clara." and finally, when you find the body, the two final cut scenes about the body and the bracelet are mushed together. And one more thing, have you found the hidden room in Palace in Vizima? You can find an interesting letter there about the striga.

Great video like always. Thank you for all your work and sharing your passion for this masterpiece with us. Take Care!

I can’t say I’ve watched all 9 years worth, but your videos have always marked the time with such enjoyable and interesting Witcher lore from the game to the books to the media. It’s been a pleasure.

Thank you for your videos. Time flies !

That was an amazing video. I've recently been listening to the audio books and finally playing the second game in preparation to replay the third.

Thank you for all of your videos ❤

I remember getting my pre-order physical copy of the game for PC and reading that thank you letter included in the case. It showed how much they respect each and every of their customers. When I saw that map, I was like, holy crap, there's going to be a LOT to explore. How right I was. The map looked awesome btw and it wasn't on a cheap paper either. I still have it and will treasure it forever. This is my favorite game of all time and I'm definitely going to replay it again from the start. Probably multiple times. I haven't got to it since I finished the Blood and Wine expansion though. I really like your videos and even if you'll put a new Witcher video up in 10 years, I'll watch it. I'll never be not interested in this game (or any Witcher game). The way you present is easy to understand, the video flows naturally and the topics are always interesting to me. Can't wait for the next one!

You never fail to disappoint with these details letalis seriously thank you for the still ongoing content for my all time favorite game!

You’re videos always put a smile on my face

Thanks for all your work!

your videos are awesome, thank you :)

Just replayed the game with new mods. What a coincidence that you post a new video just as I have finished it!

So I've been watching your channel for a while now and just a few months ago actually started playing Witcher 3 for the first time but I didn't realize we share a "birthday" of sorts, that's really cool!

Another oerfect example of why I love your videos so much. Thank you for this and I hope you are doing well.

So proud of you happy to have been if for so long to share the epic journey 😻

Fantastic as always! It’s been a while since I’ve dived in, 9 year anniversary might be a good reason!

I love you, this game and your videos!

Thank you, missed these posts , and l love the reunion opening .

Very good, as always

11:57 I think that's Melusine the ekhidna from Skellige, appearing in the contract "Here comes the groom".

11:57 this is a statue of Melusine’s throne, you can find that throne in her lair in the mountains near the village of Svorlag Island in Skellige. You can also look up Melusine’s Art work from Gwent the witcher card game, the art show’s her sitting on that Throne, one of my best Gwent Artworks tbh ❤️

Love seeing a new video from you. You’ve built a great community around one of the best games of all time. Here’s to many more years of great xLetalis content 🍻

I can't believe you made another video 🎉🎉🎉❤

Man, what a legend... 9 years and you still find amazing stuff. Love your content, thank you!

9 years and its still the best singleplayer game ive ever played by along shot. and you still deliver the best and most interesting videos for hardcore fans of any witcher related content. ive seen others that also have done it, but they lack something you got. I love the simplisity, the no BS approach, its rare on youtube these days. even tho you find the tiniest details we missed, your not pushing content/videos and steching content for to long like most other youtuber does. i really love that about this channel! ofc there are other things, like how i get to see Ciri get sold over and over, something i have never gotten myself to do, ever. And the Zoltan-song! Pls never stop xD ps, babtism of fire is a good book, regis is such a fantastic character in the books, no wonder blood and wine is so good =)

Some very cute detail that i don't remember you covering although i might have just missed it). There is a very cool option in the "Out on your arse" quest if you get to it after doing the ice giant quest in Skellige - you can mention it to the guys in the Crippled Kate's and they will just leave

YESSS I am so stoked for another “what you missed” witcher vid. Thanks XLetalis 💗💗💗

that statue in the vault reminded me of the statue built by the old siren inside the cave

welcome back, miss your videos 😀

Witcher and even Cyberpunk have some Hungarian names, this is due to CDPR have quite a few hungarian developers in the team. "Pöttöm" in this sense means little or small but in a nice way.

xLetalis and The Witcher 3, the gift that keeps on giving. Another one where I didn't know most of those!

Lovely video! Happy birthday to your daughter also

Love your content hope the new witcher will be good i wonder when any sort of details will drop

The lesbomancy dwarf is just great, the way he pauses and delivers the line, perfection.

Yeah, in 3:09 the chinese in the bracket translates into "the developer's beloved dog" and "the developer" is specifically in singular form, so my guess is that it belongs to a specific developer, not the whole team.

Yeeeeees! I cannot explain my excitement seeing a new vid!!!
