The Witcher. Gaunter O'Dimm Hidden Secrets 

Is Gaunter O’Dimm a god?

I think it is possible to deduce it without knowing this, but there is an old Polish legend about a noble man who sold his soul to the devil, in exchange for knowledge and power. Trying to outsmart the devil, he added to the contract that his soul would only be devoured if his foot stands in Rome. He obviously never went to Rome, yet after years past he let down his guard and stummbled into a tavern, called "Rome". So Olgierd's story was clearly inspired by this. Wchich would make O'dim the embodiment of the devil int the Witcher's world and explain all of his exploits and him likeing to tempt people into bad decisions. When i first realized it in the game it made me very excited becouse the character went from an evil trickster, maybe a very strong mage, to the most powerfull and evil beeing you ever encountered.

Is Gaunter O'Dimm evil or merely a reflection of the human he's interacting with? Afterall he is a merchant of mirros.

Great video! Gaunter is such an intriguing character probably my favourite character of all time.

I found this dlc to be the best story in the witcher 3 , even more so than the bloody baron

Gotta love the polish Walter O’Dimme.

We've too little information to confirm his character. That's his most striking appeal in my opinion: All we know is hearsay, except for the empirical facts of him being A) powerful, B) engaging in voluntary contracts and C) killing, but not torturing, random individuals who draw his ire (such as the guy at the bar who got his brain ventilated). Only C is ethically condemnable, though nowhere near the cruelty of humans. Aside from that, viewing O'Dimm as either evil or good follows a Christian fallacy: Describing an entity as good does not make it good, and vice-versa. It's merely hearsay, which only a juvenile mind would find convincing. Perhaps the strongest indication of O'Dimm's evil is his use of a childlike riddle to test Geralt. Such a decision can only be a childish whim, as riddles are in no way a meaningful indication of a person's character or effective intelligence. Of course, we can chalk that up to the folklore memes which The Witcher is built upon, but nonetheless it is an indication of a petty and opportunistic character.

God I loved that DLC. It didn't really bring much of anything I hadn't seen before (any deal with the devil tale out there) but there isn't anything wrong with that, it was awesome. I'd never seen THOSE characters in that situation and it was fun to do so.

I'm curious where in the world your from, your accent has a real interesting cadence to it like listening to how you tell this if I replaced the words to ones that rhymed you would be rapping essentially

Thank you for the amazing work you do❤❤❤❤❤

One thing that I miss G.O.D. it would be interesting if among prizes would be option to fight very real illusions of some of the hardest enemies from the books (Vilgefortz for example)

He grants wishes on a crossroad, and in return he takes something from you, he is the devil, no brainer really.

Thanks for the great video!

Could IT be that gaunter IS the reason this Woman in Witcher 2 could Transform into a Dragon?

It’s like he mirror anyone he deals with

What did you he mean when he called the witcher continent the neverland? I hadn't heard it referred to like that

Is Gaunter O'Dimm somehow a pre-conjunction being? Are there any supernatural or preternatural pre-conjunction beings?

I would reallllly like to see him be the main villain or expanded upon in the next Witcher game

I think Gainter O'Dimm is just a crossroad demon

One of Randal Flaggs aliases is Walter Odim

In my opinion Gaunter is a higher demon, more along the lines of Baal or Moloch from ancient Jewish and Christian text. He has every character trait of a demon, negative influences and thoughts, vast knowledge, abilities to grant you whatever you want in exchange for your soul, etc etc. you said it yourself, he can’t directly impact the world like God can, but he can influence it into a negative outcome, like Satan or a demon.

Gaunter O'Dimm is the embodiment of the world after Minecraft was released.

I shall start from here

Is there any new information o dim have or can he take away the witchers mutation and make Gerald human again

Gaunter is not a god, no, or at least, not as we understand god as in the Abrahamic religions. He is neither omniscient nor omnipresent. If he was omniscient, there is no way Geralt could outwit him. And if he was omnipresent, he could break his own contracts without penalty. Gaunter is subject to rules, albeit not many. Mainly, he apparently cannot violate the terms of his own contracts. Secondly, he apparently cannot directly lie to the other party. While he certainly uses legalism and wordplay to fulfill conditions of a contract in a manner they were clearly not intended, he doesn’t actually ever deceive anyone by not fulfilling the terms in some manner. He reminds me of a trickster, including the passing cruelty. Tricksters delighted in causing people to “hoist themselves on their own petard”. Or giving people that the trickster felt was too smug or arrogant their just deserts, or serving people an ironic fate. For example, in Supernatural the Winchester brothers encounter a trickster that would manipulate time and reality to play cruel games on people. The trickster put Sam and Dean in a Groundhog Day situation in which Dean would die each day, only for Sam to wake up the next day with Dean alive and in the same hotel. Sam would remember each day, but Dean wouldn’t, and no matter what Sam did to try and avoid whatever killed Dean the previous day, something else would kill him. Sam would try each day to convince Dean they were in some kind of time loop, only to have Dean die in some convoluted and unlikely method anyway. It only ended after Sam figured out the trickster himself was a guy that was in the diner where they’d eat breakfast, because he ordered something different after all the times of ordering the same thing. The trickster agreed to stop the loop and let the brothers go, only to have Dean get shot and killed the next day. There was no loop, but Sam became so morose and bitter that the trickster lost the fun. The trickster was also passing cruel, for example, throwing a guy into a black hole who claimed they didn’t exist. Just very… familiar.

Everybody called me that since my name is so similar

He’s not God, he’s mocking god.

He's a Leprechaun.........

I wonder how Gaunter compares to She Who Knows

Gaunter is evil bc he feeds on other's misery with glee and pushes them into their worst selves. If a hero is someone who brings out the best in people, a villain brings out the worst and that's why Gaunter is a villain. The whole "I just watch people ruin themselves" is a bullshit excuse so he feels less trivial about himself but he is just a bully. People wouldn't have been ruined if he didn't push them into ruin. We all have potential for good and bad and Gaunter purposefully brings out the worst in people for his own amusement. Definition of evil.

I think hes simply from a higher dimension and this contract thing is a fun hobby to him.
