Witcher 3 - Velen - Ambience & Music 

Sounds of depression, loneliness, agony, captured by beautiful yet gloomy and blood-soaked land of No Man's Land... Wish I could erase all of my memories of this game and play like its the first time.

For me, Velen was the most relatable region in Witcher 3. Just people trying to get by, amidst all the darkness and uncertainty. Also, during sundown you would get these absolutely gorgeus views from the plains and small hilltops. Wish I could go back and experience the game again for the first time , not a single game has come even close to Witcher 3 in the way it captured me.

can't believe this game is 8 years old. Still looks fresh to date

The soundtrack is definitely a big part in what makes Witcher 3 one of the best games of all time. My favourite OST ever.

SPOIL: After having "finished" the bloody baron's quest where his daughter no longer wanted to see him and his wife had become a monster, I thought that this story was not finished and that I still had a lot of things to do. So I come back to the Baron to collect my dues, eager to see what happens next. And “reality” caught up with me. Brutally as she likes to do it. It started with a fade to black, announcing the start of a cutscene, then the legs of a body hanging from a tree. I naively told myself that it was the baron who had again taken these nerves out on his people, but no. The next image left no doubt. The barron had hanged himself, unable to accept the consequences of my choices. And there, the avalanche of emotion in my stomach. Denial, shock, sadness, then acceptance. Repeating in different orders. Thus making me understand that I had become attached to a character that I did not appreciate. I experienced it as a little trauma. I sometimes have the image of the Baron's lower body, hanged, which comes to mind at inopportune moments. Then a feeling of oppression. Since then, listening to music number 3 (3:46) is an emotional ordeal, which surprisingly I enjoy experiencing. It totally reflects the Velen region. And every time, at 4:13 I seem to hear the Baron crying and lamenting, in the last seconds before hanging himself. Feeling my own periocular muscles contract, as if to stop me from crying. And it's in these moments that I tell myself that The Witcher 3 had an impact on me like no other game has yet. Nor even like any other non-musical work for that matter. Long live video games, long live The Witcher 3.

My favorite part is the random sounds of drowners, what a beautiful sound to study to 😂

What a masterpiece. Not just a game its an experience one in a lifetime.

The Witcher was the best game of all time for me. Hugs from Brazil, and may this work of art (game and music) never die.

Velen... it's so strange to see how a gloomy, lonely and overall threatening atmosphere can bring so much peace and calm to people... thank you for this new personal study time soundtrack!

Это видео не просто саундтрек из игры,это уже скорее состояние души,будучи большим любителем природы и тем кто прошел ведьмака 3 раза,я уже не могу прогуливаться по лесу,степям,лугам без этой музыки включенной на телефоне

I keep searching for games like the witcher, but honestly... nothing compares. This game is pure art and I am so incredibly happy I got to live in a time where such a game exists. The ambiance, the music, the characters, the scenery... it is all perfect.

Man, this hit home for me right now.

If there is a game that should be called a work of art, it is The Wither 3, for its art, for its music, for its narrative, and much more. a game that if it had 1000 expansions I would play them all.

man the violin plus the background music is groundbreaking 35:03 it slowly gets good, what a mix

That music evokes such an specific feeling, it's hauting, lonely and extremely beautiful. Thanks for posting

Долго игнорировал игру ведьмак. Но вот этим летом наконец начал играть и прошёл, теперь сижу и кайфую от прослушивания саундтреков, и как другие олды мечтаю стереть себе память и пройти заново 😅

This game captured the ambience so well. It set you in the right mood. The amazing soundtrack helped too.❤

As a 40-year old. I almost has a bunch of stuff to say.. but instead. At 40, this is amazing music.

The definition of perfection is the Witcher 3 ❤

17:15 Oh my goodness ❤️😳❤️

33:42 Melancholic and delightful. Underrated track. 💯

Such an immersive ambience the witcher 3 offers... its insanely good =)

the most beutiful place

I envy the people that can listen to this and study. It just makes me think of the amazing journey, world, and characters... and then I must play it again. lol

When I listen to this Velen part of the WItcher soundtrack it takes me back to the bad times I had in my life at the time I was playing it. So much depression, worry, desperation, sadness just like Velen, I survived it! THANK YOU ALL who made this piece of art and for uploading.

13:20 love the voice

Приятно смотреть, и видеоряд, и слушать музыку. Спасибо большое за этот плейлист❤

Greatest game of all time

Thanks for the upload, it brings back good memories of this wonderful game. Velen was a very special place and the story related was very emotional

this is one of the best the witcher's mixes i haver heard in a while, amazing

When I'm playing TW3 i'm always thinking about my childhood memories when i went to my family in small village in Poland on vacation. That games really makes me chills and also I'm really proud as a Polish that The Witcher 3 is worldwide hit and one of the best games ever made! Thank you CD Projekt Red! You make us proud of our roots!!! ⚪🔴

I played this game for the first time this year, stil it hits hard

When i first played this game, i hated Velen so much that I didn’t care to understand what’s going on in it. But after 4 playthroughs It became my favorite area in the main game, yes even better than Skillege. Sure there’s beauty in all areas but Velen was the best, like there’s almost a personality in this area, perhaps it has a personality. There’s a sense of Desperation, loneliness, fear and evil in Velen, truly a No Man's Land. I think all areas are great in their own way but Velen captured these feelings perfectly. My second favorite area is Toussain of course. That area is the exact opposite and i think that’s why i love them.

спасибо, ты помог провести очередной хреновый вечер чуть лучше)

Witcher 3 best game soundtrack ever . With Skyrim

Я не можу описати словами, як я обожнюю 3-ого Відьмака. Це був незабутній досвід, і хоч я не можу відчути його, як уперше, ця музика дозволяє мені зануритися у світ Геральта та відчути знову той вир відчуттів та переживань. (❁´◡`❁)

This video made me want to reinstall the game and play it again. Great video, thanks

My favorite region in the whole game.

I am a very proud owner of this masterpiece and blessing of an experience....right now im in Skyrim via PSVR...some things in life are truly blessings...

I just started reading the Witcher books recently, and this mix always sets the mood while Im reading

some of the best songs in the soundtrack, thanks!

We all love you MASTER!! Every morning I update RU-vid page waiting for your new masterpieces!

Came here expecting a joke, blown away with a masterpiece of all kind of music of the witcher

Часть души навсегда осталась в лесах и лугах Редании

I could listen to this all day!

For those who haven't read it but would like to experience something similar to the atmosphere of Velen, I recommend the short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski, which inspired the Witcher game: "The Last Wish" (7 stories) and "Sword of Destiny" (also 7 stories, I believe). These have been translated into enlish but also other langs.

Few days ago I finished my bike courier shift in a remote location next to a village. I rode home along the river and the weathrr was exactly like in witcher 3. Gray, cloudy sky and the wind was blowing very strongly. All the trees and bushes were wildly flailing and I just rode next to the river. I will never forget that day.

Feels like home. Thank you

So atmospheric!

41:02 🤣🤣 nice throw!!

damn, those guys poured their soul into this game!

Still getting goosebumps after all these years. Best game I've EVER played!

track 03 perfect

*Hope this kind of music never ends*

No Man's Land. Velen undoubtedly stands as the most somber and desolate among the various settings in the Witcher 3, and the music impeccably encapsulates the essence of its melancholic ambiance.

Very nice shots.

Love the new video 🖤

Thanks for this!

Toda vez que escuto instantaneamente tenho vontade de zerar esse jogo 😆❤

Amazing

Played the Witcher 3 for the first time this year, thought it couldn't possibly top the Netflix series. How wrong I was. The game stands head and shoulders above the Netflix series and after many an hour spent reaching the end of the story I jumped straight into New Game+ to start it all over again, that's a testament to the sheer quality of the game, which would lose its vibrance without this amazing soundtrack.

this so good and nostalgie

Vídeo muito bom, relaxante

Velen soundtrack is the best soundscape in witcher. When i think of the witcher I automatically think of this soundtrack here. Easily one of the best soundtracks in gaming if not #1 for me. Its the only one ill listen to irl while driving and stuff.

I kid you not every time I hear the first few seconds of one of those songs it makes me replay the game even though I did it multiple times

I want to play this game for the first time again!

Amazing.

Great!

Top notch buddy ol boiii... top notch

Everyone should play the Witcher! The Story is amazing!

WE SEARCHIN' FOR CIRI IN VELEN WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

this game is something else...

velen reminds me of my first play though

Ok Ok I am gonna play this again

The books are good too! XD

Love Velen.

the track at 33:42 goes so god damn hard. I was pretty high when I first listened to it and I couldn't help myself but replay the last minute of it 5times, hearing the violin get increasingly technical and then the vocals ride in off the climax i nearly climaxed

love this game

nice video

I both hated and loved Velen for that sinking feeling in my chest I got whenever I passed by it and for giving me one of the most unforgettable experiences in a video game. I definitely feel more of the latter now that I haven't touched the game in a year and get to enjoy the music on its own. Also, am I the only one who didn't feel that sorry for the Baron? While I believe in second chances and didn't want him to end up dead, I'd rather choose to give the children a chance at life rather than the man who (if I remember correctly) beat his wife and made his family feel unsafe enough to plan an escape. Maybe it's because I'm a woman myself and I've seen too many real life cases where husband have dealt their wives a lifetime of trauma only to lament about how hurt they are when they face the consequences of their actions. Of course, it's also important to understand how cultures and inherited trauma affect these individuals, but it's never an excuse. Anyways, I'm getting too deep for a RU-vid comment here, but that just goes to show how much life the writers have breathed into these characters to affect us so deeply. I love this game so much!

💜

Does anyone know where to buy or download those ambient tracks? They are not included in official soundtrack added in game files.

❤

Velen was the best part of the game

greeat game

Bloody baron's house -- the best place in Velen

Witcher 3 looks, sounds and plays better than Cyberpunk. Did they capture lightning in a bottle?

Best game ever , for me of course but even in 2024 I've never found a better game

i fw this so hard

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Все нормуль) Я Июль)

This game is a fucking masterpiece

👍

Так люблю музыку из Ведьмака, но найти никак не могу треки эти в яндекс.музыка... Обидно(

No hay sonido que me ayude a concentrarme tanto como este.

what is track 17 called

few things make me as sad as this

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can't help but think fondly on my first play through of this game. The countless hours spent exploring while captivated by the ambience of it's setting. The experience goes beyond an incredible story and timeline, but in my opinion speaks loudly to what is the most important dynamic in a game, or movie, the OST (Original sound track). When days draw gray for me, and my company is the chill of silence, and my countenance is overshadowed by depression, I go back to this game and immerse myself as the wanderer, as the peasant, as the explorer and as The Witcher. Therapy comes in all forms, and certainly the Witcher has provided sound respite from everyday demons. May the Gods praise you all and fill you with healing along the path.

Excellent video, if you could also write the names of the tracks, it would become priceless.
