Vesemir vs. Leshen | The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf 

And a few in Igni too lol

And almost zero in quen

Ard always best

MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE

I gave most points to igni for my first walkthrough... let's say that the results were not great...

He just put all his skill points on aard and few on igni but ignored quen

He melted a whole lake with igni at the end - that's not over powered?

@@BloodAssassin i was talking about this fight specifically, but you right as well

@@BloodAssassin he lvled up after this then put it in igni

is like in the game. xD

But where's the hat?

Speedwagon

Not again, take that hat off

lembert using that goofy ahh hat

Where did that whipper snapper ran off to?

Mam this is witche-

I don't get it

@@Rodrigo-ty2if if I remember correctly, Hector is one of Dracula's forgemasters in the Castlevania animated series. I'm not sure why the OP mentioned him though.

@@daisukehamasaki6626 same voice actor

He was subdued by a slut vamp. there’s no coming back after falling for a hoe.

Yeah aren't leshens supposed to be monsters that are made up of wood and hold magic power?

@@theanimeboy9953 They’re ancient primeval woodland spirits in a lot of cases are guardians of ancient forests

That one was an hybrid askip

In all fairness it is a hybrid.

@@theanimeboy9953 They are spirits born out of stuff from the woods

In slavic mitology they look kind different

​@@srebrybrek4238 in slavic mythology they behave much more like guardians, but in witcher (by cd projekt at least) they behave more like teritorial beasts that adapt into environment they claim and feed like animals.

@@subowicz8255 In the game it's explained that people are expanding more and more so the Leshens become more aggressive do to loosing there territory.

Dude leshens are terrifying, imagine walking around the forest in your backyard and you see a deer skull totem, you break it, only to turn around and see that fucking beast appearing and disappearing behind trees followed by wolves and crows

Haven't they a form of cat too in the Witcher universe or I'm wrong?

Quen is the cowards sign, the game is more fun without quen

@@Chadius_Thundercock what’s the point of ursine witcher gear without quen? Quen is fun to me lol. It’s a defensive strat so yeah

@@Chadius_Thundercock Quen is ridiculously useful in Death March, it has save me countless time

@@Chadius_Thundercock you probably havent played the game in death march to be spouting such nonsense one bite from a lvl 1 wild dog kills geralt

@@Chadius_Thundercock Oh I see u have played on Story difficulty. I understand that, why do u need Quen when u won't even take damage? Play on Death March then u will understand, One hit is gonna take ur 75% of health, Groups of enemies are even a bigger threat, A pack of dogs can kill u in no time

Agree it was awkward and at times cringe. They probably thought it sounded witty and bad ass but he kind of came off as a dolt.

To be fair, Vesemir is 100 years older in the games. He likely got grumpy as the decades passed(and Geralt even says that the old man was a womanizer of sorts when he is drinking with Eskel and Lambert)

@@juanlaise1059 Oh i could totally see young Vesemir being more impulsive like any young lad, its just jarring how they had him talking, even for a cocky young person.

Thats his character being cocky and in the end he becomes a teacher

@@VergilDarkslayer right it makes sense for his personality jm just saying the way they went about it with the dialog was extremely off putting for me

🤩

He really is

Young Vesemir would've wrecked Imlerith

Super dope; I was happy he had some personal growth as well

@@Darkslayers_son All day everyday

The witcher 3 trailers did that good either

This is actually a very bad representation of witchers

@@ElMachoMucho Yeah I know the books portrayed them a lot differently but I like the way the games and the movie portray them physically since in the book their strength wasn't that crazy.

@@dippyfresh5784 the main problem I have with it even though it's cool to watch it's still movie based after a property that it doesn't very well represent. One of the coolest things about the book is that ever battle is a very hard and tasking challenge that the Witcher has to out smart not just out perform.

@@ElMachoMucho bad? bruh witcher kills and hunte vampire and werereolf they by logic need to be super human for even catch the enemy that move a super speed

I don't like it it looks more like a undead what it isnt

this Leshen is a crossbreed iirc

@@someguy-et6pd it's technically not a pure leshen, it's a mix between a leshen and maybe a ghoul or something a kin to it because it bleeds

@@kipras1412 nah I saw it yesterday it's a elven woman infused with leshen dna or something like that

@@someguy-et6pd Deglan wasn’t only fusing monsters with elven children, he was splicing all sorts of monsters, though it did speak elven. It was also being mind controlled by Kitsu

He thought the same about the games if it makes you feel any better

Yeah but we all felt like it for the Netflix serieses ​@@Firestorm422

​@@Firestorm422I wonder if he feels different when they actually massacred his work in the tv show.

@@65firered he loves the tv show

@@rajchandra6913 The irony.

I think that enemy got.. the point!

@@cm9241 CARLOOOSS!!! - magic school bus.

lol i just noticed it now

I was looking for this comment😆

Seeing as the vampires in the witcher are vastly inferiror to the ones in castlevania, i wouldnt hold my breath.

@@bluntlyhonest6803 Dunno dude... the Unseen Elder was certainly no joke.

@@PeteTheGrouch Hes the exhesption and not the rule, we also didn't get a good look at what he can do. He can kill a witcher, Big deal. the whole encounter with the unseen elder was a "tell don't show" moment. sure, he threw Geralt around a bit and could kill him in a flash but what else? Its is a bit of a common trend with vampires in the witcher, their only abilities are their speed and durability and nothing else Castlevanias vampires can do all that and more, they are more rational, capable of using magic, they don't shy away from weaponry such as swords and spears unlike the witcher vampires who all rely on extended claws and a bestial way of fighting to succeed, both lower and higher vampires. I'd even go as far as saying Trevor belmont would beat Geralt in a fight, he might be younger and a drunk but one swing from his flail and geralt would go kaboom. "Geralt isnt a monster", no he is a Mutant and is a such an unholy creation which is what the morningstar slays. Castlevania is a much more deadly world that the witcher. and i stand by that.

@@bluntlyhonest6803 ...M-kaaay; so you have a bit of a hard-on for Castlevania. Hey, not that I'm judging or anything; I like both franchises... still, try to dial it back a notch, eh?

@@PeteTheGrouch Nope, i like the witcher way more. but i'm simply not biased when it comes to the ascesment of the danger each world has.

tbf, Witchers have super human stamina, agility, and he took a potion which could be one of the ones that pushes up his endurance.

What he said ^

Vesemir's 100 years older in the games/books; personalities change when you have that long to live.

from what i can tell about the dialogue in the game, especially during the drinking before the battle that vesimir was a different man when he was young, so im not doubting this version of him. Also it's when you have your young wild days that you mellow out as u get older and wiser.

he was known to be a sexy womanizer back in his younger days. Ppl change

Looks generic as hell. There's even the defenseless kid and the grappling hook... Anime is so clichey

That's kinda some of anime's charm in my opinion, although this is perfectly fine too

@@silverbro13 This is not really an anime afaik

@@Ebony-Bane It takes from Eastern animation styles just like Avatar, I would count it as anime.

@@silverbro13 that means it's anime inspired. Not true anime

@@Ebony-Bane anime was inspired from the west. so west inspired anime which inspired avatar which inspired this

Agreed

I like both designs, but yeah, game was better

Yeah. Game design was more disturbing

That wasn't exactly a normal Leshen, it was a hybrid. Which alludes to the rest of the plot of the movie.

@@cd5sircoupe Your right and I get that. But he did not seem all that surprised by it appearance. Vesemir was only surprised that the leshen spoke. So I'm assuming that all leshens typically look like that.

Well the medallion also shakes around when you enter a fight, at the top left of the screen next to your health bar

@@hansturbela9514 holy shit i finished the witcher 3 4 times but i just noticed it

The medallion's use is much more noticeable in the second game, whereas in Wild Hunt, like what the comment above said, it's very subtle.

I agree with Trevor just on the personality, but I don't see how Lucifer fits into this?

which version of lucifer?

His features and the way he talks

netflix lucifer?

It's not the same creator, but the same studio behind Legend of Korra.

Gliding tool?

Not really comparable since Trevor's morningstar is an actual weapon and this chain that Vesemir uses is just a utility item he used for enhanced mobility. In season 1 of The Witcher, Geralt uses a silvered chain on a striga to temporarily bind it, harming it at the same time. By this deduction, Silvered chains are common for Witchers to use.

That thing looked like vertical maneuvering equipment from AOT

@@amuroray9115 why not? he seems quite agile in airial "combat". Would save his skin if he falls off a big flying beast.

@@1theprince1 but what kind of tool are you talking about specifically?

Yes but 90 years younger

😦

@@VDA19 more like hundreds of years

@@jarlcohnson4738 No, 90 years. Vesemir is around 170 years old in the Netflix Witcher. In this show he's around 70, same as his Love/Childhood friend. Geralt is around 10 here, so add 100 years to Vesemir and he'll be 170 in the show.

@@VDA19 but... In the books and games Vesemir is at least 300 years old. Did Netflix decided to play with the time-line again?

@I urunuo it's the name of the blast he used towards the end. The fire he used is a skill also called Igni.

@I urunuo Witchers are trained in basic alchemy for potions and oils, sword fighting(obviously), and basic magic called signs(that compared to real sorceres and mages, are just little tricks, but they are quite useful), one of them is Aard, that is a blast, like a sudden push.

@I urunuo aard is force sign. igni is fire sign. there's others. quen is shield sign. yrden is trap sign and axii is manipulation sign

If it’s animated the combat definitely won’t be slow paced that would suit a live action series (which we have) better. Any animated fantasy show/movie is gonna always be fast paced when it involves super humans and their abilities

@@Kingsani14 Not exactly, you have movies and animated series with a slow paced combat that is incredible. Look for "Sword of the Stranger"... and you'll see what i mean.

But the thing is that witchers in their natural capabilities, without concoctions, are already far exceeding the natural abilities of humans - add magical potions which exponentially increase their abilities and they go from super soldiers to forces of nature.

@@mamacoloco7285 Disso eu tenho noção. O quero dizer é que eu gostaria de ver uma animação menos "Liga da Justiça" e mais "Dark Souls". Algo mais lento, focado em um combate mais realista mesmo com as piruetas que os bruxos fazem, com um tema sombrio e brutal, menos descontraído, diálogos mais dramáticos... nessa vibe.

@@carlosmachado5532 Justo.

Kek

although the potion is more of a Thunderbolt because of the green color

Netflix brought so much "woke" people to this fandom

Always gets me everytime 😂

Not really. Ofiri & Zangvebari regularly interact with the northern realms through trade. Just say what your actual problem is rather than pretend geography is your issue.

@@mirafloyd5756 So merchants took a little kid to do what? Sell him as a slave? If it was a grown mercenary, mercenary or foreign ambassador It would be more believable If you wanna call people racist just say so. Don't pretend like you actually know anything about the franchise. Especially when Ofiri are more Persian/Middle Eastern and not Nigerian like.

Flipping knew it, had the bugger chasing me for a short while when i went for the Griffin set. Thought he was High level so i just ran out of the Leshen’s range. I’m lv 24 and 16 on two saves in the same run so i could Maybe handle the Leshen, but i don’t really see the point of going after it.

Calling them that from now on

@@-Gilver same

Did you see the movie? If you did, you would know why this one looks like this and why it actually spoke before it died

@@greekjohn1998 they still shouldnt call it a leshen when it isnt one

@@bluntlyhonest6803 K dude

@@scutumfidelis1436 🤦‍♂️

The way Netflix has shown witchers here is just a spit into books! Absolutely disgusting

Agreed. I hated the show and every time they touched the series they just ruined it. I'm honestly surprised Nightmare of the Wolf was so enjoyable to me. If only they made other shows with a passion. But for the love of god Neftlix READ LORE.

​@@chuvits217Ehhhh.. I agree but comparing this to the Netflix show? I say they did okay this time.

Exactly.

Oh Sweetheart, cry more

To be fair, only "canon" Schools are Wolf, Cat, and Griffin.

Griffin arguably has the least show time. Only Coen really is mentioned if i remember and the guy went and got himself killed in a battlefield.

If that was Eskel, he'll have to come back to life.

Aard...

Do we ever see young Vesemir in the games or books? Someone told me we don’t

@@amuroray9115 Don't know about the books but they never showed young Vesemir in the games.

We dont see his backstory in the books. Granted I havent read in the original Polish, nor watched more than a few episodes of that gawd-awful Polish tv series

"vesemire's backstory". Hate to break it to you chief but there was none, unless you count the HOS lady as a backstory lol.

@@Gervaj79 Then why are you talking about his backstory if you haven't read the books? There *isn't* any backstory, bro. All we know is that at some point he was a fencing instructor in Kaer Morhen and that he survived the pogrom.
