Witcher Schools: School of The Viper - Witcher Lore - Witcher Mythology - Witcher 3 lore 

Geralt was a full blown emo looking dude in the first 2 games

1.6 Million views! You should do more Letho/Viper school videos.

Best intro to a game ever

aha

Nah nah, school of the swole fam

@n a :(

"a mountain of meat- never seen anyone bigger"

A lot of Gainz

Lol TRUE

That's what i was thinking when i play the witcher 2 for the first time lmao

Yet, he has the most refined communication skills from Fallout New Vegas.

Haha

Accurate.

Jim Setinbocci and stealth

Dimes災冬 true

i'd just like us to take a moment to focus on the fact that the biggest most roided out man in The Witcher also happens to be one of the best with daggers

Always loved brute styled rogues

And the archer who fired calmly while the ship fell apart under his feet, that king had some grade A bodygaurds.

@@atomosvrial1708 Except he did not aim right duh.

@@b3nisrael he actually did aim right. The problem is those fuckers can dodge and deflect projectiles 😂😂

@@atomosvrial1708 Also since everything was in slow motion that archer got those arrows off in a matter of seconds.

really really fast that I'll get shot before I finish typi

Actualy, Sile or Philipa made the bomb for him.

@@leonardosulczinski2001 oof

All the traps Letho placed at his ambush site was bad ess, pity they did not continue with Geralt using this ability!

They downplay shit for the game, it would be too easy if you could just hit someone with that bomb and they shatter in 1 hit, even though they are a higher level than you. In actual lore, they would shatter, but they don't make it that easy in the game for a reason.

Witcher 2 had much cooler alchemy/actual witcher mechanics than 3 to begin with.

Good on him aha

as oppose to grabbing the idiot king and teleporting away?

@@TheMeta141 bruh all ts happened so fast tbh. It probably was 5-10 seconds at the most. That's how long it probably took you to read half of this.

Munozl360 Swole is the goal size is the prize its Gainz o clock

aye.

Fun fact: the company that made that cutscene - Platige Image is now coworking in Witcher serier for Netflix

Adam Żarowski ugghh Netflix better not ruin the Witcher

Ikr? Of all the witcher cinematics, i think that's my favorite. Badass letho slaying an archer, mage and king in succession is somehow satisfying. Not to mention the visuals are beaut af

Yeah, I was taken aback at how good how resolution that cinematic was. Such a cool cinematic. Adam Żarowski Damn, that is awesome! Hopefully as Trivial Goose has said, Netflix doesn't screw things up.

34th time ain many times

My man, Dbol isn't gonna cut it. They're on some trenbolone

They are on that Bull Shark Testosterone

@@CryonicArrow Hahahahaha good one :D

You mean on chicken and brown rice ?

Anavar, dbol. The usual stuff

Joshua Olsen that’s actually a really valid question lol.

Genes and mutations did the work. I can say, these mutations are not kinda regular like School of Wolf has. Probably some side effect/genes gave him 2 unconnectable things - huge mass and agility.

Push ups, sit ups and plenty of juice

“He just do cardio with out hand”

Letho devourer of gods

The mage as well. That king knew how tpick body guards

Did the viper school give their students Steroids?

The earth rotates arround Letho's gravitational force, the absolute unit of a man

NotMadDog I dont think he can close his arm

FU

The witcher online

I wouldn't play a Witcher online

@@futalordv3138 The Witcher "Online" is first step in the direction of monetizing the franchise, EA/Activision style. Why the FUCK would you want that with one of the last remaining franchises that doesn't financially rape it's consumers?

I wouldn't mind a possible sequel or standalone "based on Witcher series" game where creating a character and choosing a school is a thing. Each school has its own specialty like Wolf is your balanced class, Griffin is the magic/alchemy-strong class, Cat is the melee combat specialty, Viper is obviously the assassin specialty, and Bear is your standard tank. All classes have the same signs and bombs and whatnot but the class affects their behaviors. For Viper, something like Yrden is a straight up trap for all enemies and it lasts longer; critical hit chance is increased by 50% with an extended cool down or something. And Bears would have something equal in specialty with Quen, like when hit while active, the explosion radius is larger and more powerful, knocks all enemies back or can be struck several times with an explosion on each hit before Quen is dispelled. Shit like that I think would be cool to explore. Just leave the online shit out of it. Keep it 100% single player like it is now. Online is where monetization finds its home, which is also the end of quality video game development. I don't want to see that happen with Witcher.

@@jackbuchanan6441 I really would trust CDPR to not milk the game to much, I just don't think the witcher world and theme would fit in an online ambiance, like, it would ruin the outcast vibe that they make for the witchers if there were a lot of them

Nice point

Abserd O ikr.

Its because Witcher’s die for gold.....

1 thing people never expect in a fight is gold thrown at their face

I..I dont get it XD

Avi Kohl the best villains are barely on screen, look at the Dinos in the first Jurassic Park, the joker, etc.

I killed him, so zero screen time.

@@nickdiaz4837 The Joker had a lot of screen time though lel

Farcry 3 villain

Lol he died. None for me.

Don't mess with them cauliflower ears ....

It is def cauli ear. It would make sense for the school of sneks to do some "constricting" aka ground fighting.

Or Shrek

I was thunking the same

And forwards in rugby union

I wonder what it'd be like hunting monsters as him lol

@@Blittsplitt5 Seriously, dude is awesome. I doubt they will use him moving forward but, damn, it would be extremely cool to play as him and try to rebuild the School of the Viper.

​​@@Blittsplitt5god of war style QTE after fighting a (big) monster enough.

100% agree! Pure awesomeness

I think Eskel fighting Caranthir was just unadulterated badassery. He only lost because CDPR had to set it up for Ciri’s intervention. Given his skills shown, I think he could’ve handily beat Caranthir and his escorts.

Agreed!!

@@Engine33Truck have to disagree sure Eskel might have been a better fighter but Caranthir was a mage who used teleporting in battle he would have used magic and teleporting to beat Eskel rather than rely solely on base combat

@@TheMeta141 and here comes dimeritium bomb, and magic is useless

Yeah, I don't know much about letho since I didn't play W3 with a Witcher 2 save file start -but I acquired the viper set and when I envisioned someone from the viper school being a nimble assassin I did not envision a guy looking like Letho... the dudes traps go to the top of his neck... Regardless that cutscene was awesome. I don't get how that mage didn't do anything to save himself or the king at the end. Lol but made a good cinematic scene

Ben McReynolds it's because letho was born a genetic freak like Geralt and the mutations for witchers just enhanced them

That would be awesome!

Being a witcher, and a Assasin? Hmmm hell yeah

I still agree with this as well! It would make CD proj. Make stealth the main thing for Letho's gameplay and adding a different way to slaying monsters

Letho as a playable character would be like putting Doom guy against a drowner.

Sean Kallas well that’s true, would be fun though being that op

Berengar was school of the wolf. He stole the mutagens from them.

It is a viper school witcher, dual wielding swords, assasinating Kings and also he appears in one of the memories of geralt in witcher 2.

also quality content m8

Thank you, it took a long time to render haha

Then re-release Witcher 2 on newer consoles with 60 fps support and stuff so that PS4 owners and Xbone owners can play the 2 games that are often forgotten about

@Leo Hernandez PS4 and XBONE owners

Technically the witcher 2 is backwards compatable so the 360 version is available for Xbone but I get what ya mean

I could not even understand how to play witcher 1 god damn the giant mantist keeps kicking my ass i barely played witcher 1 for 2 hours

Ayoo

rayjinflo yeah. I thought that he sort of activating the bomb

that sign made a blue effect, quen is yellowish

Quen is yellowish in witcher 3, the colors are different in the other witcher games

DonPatrono usually big muscle bound men are slower but there are cases irl where they're as nimble and quick as some leaner men. We had a guy who was 6'2" weighed 240 pounds ran a 4.4 40, was insanely flexible when we did grappling, and while not nearly as agile on plyometrics still had insane explosion when doing plyometrics and rolls.

Both my brothers are over 6', and rather muscular. They move quickly, and are known to be the more quicker fencing students of the cities fencing club. So yeah, big and muscular guys can be fast and nimble

Witcher Anabolic Potion 😉

Snakes are not lanky or lean. Snakes are pure muscle, 90% of a snakes body is just muscle. Letho is the perfect viper. Probably has 200 years of powerlifting too.

Don't underestimate the human body. If you don't follow rugby then you haven't seen the type of athleticism those athletes train for. Imagine big bodies that can move quickly and nimbly, with a lot of explosive power and speed and being able to play at that pace for two 40 min halves. Outside of rugby (esp New Zealand rugby) people tend to think big people are strong but are slow and unfit. However this isn't the case, rugby legends like Tongan born Jonah Lomu who was 6'5, 265 lbs, ran 100m at 10.6 sec proves to us the human body is stronger than we think. Heaps of others like Julian savea (120 kg, 6'5, 100m-10.4) Ben lam (115 kg, 6'4, 100m- 10.3sec) Senita Taumanivalu (6'6, 120 kg, 100m - 10.5sec) Nemani Nadolo (6'5, 125 kg, 100m- 10.6 sec) and plenty more big yet fit fast and explosive athletes in this brand of sport. So nothing wrong with this fella in the vid being the way he is despite his size, especially with those witcher enhancements. From what I know is that their training must be different from other witcher schools and each school has their own unique training methods, like how the athletes of New Zealand rugby has a different training method than to those from other brands of sport.

haha I'd love to own a Griffin Medallion.

@@Aranred1 I think he meant irl

manticore?

They are the forgers wepons,armors they make the best And they hunt iof curse

witcher 4 school of the dragon

next witcher should be mmorpg and your school is your class ;)

​@Matthew Sosnicki It's written in the wiki that the viper school is the most secretive. Another interesting thing is that among witcher schools, Vipers are the one who have studied the Wild Hunt extensively. Cat schools are considered an outcast among witcher schools since they're known to break witcher's code of neutrality by taking on political assassination contracts. Griffins are one of the most successful sects, and one of the most regal, and knightly among witchers. a griffin witcher specializes in magic as their gear suggests. Coen, The witcher who trained Ciri hailed from Griffin school. Bear schools favor overpowering their opponents, as their gear suggest, through strengthening Quen. Wolf school I don't know. their gear focus on hunting monsters more than any other gear, a nod to the fact that they hated other witcher schools for getting involved in politics. They were the most dedicated to hunting monsters.

Yessss bear school sounds so badass.

Always thought the School of the Bear would have been amazing if the had a larger use of axes too. Kinda like how Letho had the twin daggers we get to see him use, maybe they liked to brand more axe based weaponry and have even learned to apply an oil to it. (One thing that always made me sad in Witcher 3. Can't apply oil to another type of weapon)

Far as I know not much is know about the bear school.

Kicktugo55 why?

Mainly because it's not in the books but was first introduced in the third game (correct me if im wrong)

He's long lost brother of Vin Diesel

The Mike Ehrmantrout of the Witcher world.

ramuel Catibayan the cat school takes that title

FU and F your opinion

@@aaronea2880 same to you kid

@@-general6015 who tf are you

how much to render? Also I totally agree man, hence why I played almost the while thing haha

I can't recall the exact amount, but I remember gametrailers linked some news site that I believe said it was 10,000 dollars to make. It may have been a bit more... It is crazy how much cgi movies cost especially at that caliber.

I have really been enjoying your videos by the way! I only recently came across the channel, and even though I am a heavily devoted fan to the entire series and books. I still find exponential enjoyment from the research you put into your creations! Thank you so much for your time and effort.

thank you man

Me too man haha

Actually they recreated his voice with computers so we can have it forever

Thank you man!

Yeah haha I decided that instead of telling you a brief overview of the characters that they deserve their own individual character videos, My school of the wolf video has basically become a short series of videos, describing characters and other information that deserves it's own video, for example Kaer Morhen.

There really wasn't much time. His whole attack only took seconds.

Dankus Memus but the mage knows that there is a enemy after the bomb appeared. He just stand there and do nothing. He could have teleport himself and the king away after the bomb and before letho charge

Jorge Morgan it's north wind, the mage can still throw fireball. However, you are right, that doesn't matter as long as it looks cool.

Mages can't really teleport in the Witcher. They can open portals. But this is really dangerous and only very skilled people like Yennefer can actually open a safe portal when there is no time to focus. And even then it is not really possible to control where that portal will lead to.

Yannic Held Wait, did u mean the game lie to us?

Did you get to the bit where I talk about it?

Thanks so much man, means a lot.

I wear the Griffin medium armour, 70% combat skills 30% signs and I love it, never bothered with heavy armour

Guys, guys... Manicore armour... allows you about 400 toxcitity...

Thank you mate

WitcherGeorge no problem thanks for content the more the better.

whats your favoritr school?

itz Phantom Wolf school is my number one Griffin school is my three. How about you buddy what are your 3 favourites?

Space Cake's my favoritr is bear school becausse of pure raw strength, second is wolf for me bevause geralt of rivia and third is viper

Ask the average witcher player.

Wine & Blood Dlc is a masterpiece on its on. ❤

Except Letho isn't of tbe Wolf school.

@@MoviesFreeGalore you need to work on reading comprehension

@@Jon_Snowhite probably need to quit drinking as much.

It would've looked cool!

Thank you man!

I will for the next time I do a schools video!

Svalblod...Svalblod!!! We summon thy power!!!

Thank you man!

MLPDethDealr32 enjoy 😉

I wish I could experience this game for the first time again

try to enjoy every second of it

im going to , might do a playthrough when im done. Trying to branch out from my usual content.

Ahhh the first time experiencing the witcher universe

Possibly it would explain why he's very close to Geralt's level

I knew the tv series would fk it up

cecil cooksey dude you could totally be in the witcher universe!

The Witcher world doesn't have an equivalent to Africa as far as we know. You would likely hail from Kovir and there would be no reason you couldn't be a witcher =P

I'm not black but one of the first things I thought when playing the game was how annoying it would be to be playing it as a black person. Talk about fantasy destroying! Still man, it's a fantasy universe.... of course there can be Witchers with black skin!

I mean there is a continent roughly resambling Africa. Zerrikania(don't know how to spell it in english) from which Azar Javed from W1 hailed from.

Hunter Henderson what are you talking about me saying i probably wouldnt be witcher has nothing to do with my skin pigment its the location

Thanks man! I hope you enjoy it!

Technically Geralt can then defeat letho later in the witcher 2!

WitcherGeorge true they can defeat eachother better to say

Rick_Genest_fangirl #IAmNotAMonsterSCHIZOPHRENIA he already defeated geralt though of course he can beat him lol letho won the first fight geralt won the second

Geralt had amnesia though. Not exactly his peak.

Very true, but that's only because of the emperor ordering them to kill the northern kings, Geralt has also done his fair share of human killings as well. But I definitely see where you are coming from.

WitcherGeorge true, though with garalt most of the time when he kills someone it's because they really pissed him off, or just flat out attacked him. Not exactly the same as head hunting, but I see the comparison you're making. Well there was that one time with radavid but he had it coming.

school of the cat had a flaw in their recipe in trial of grasses, which meddled with their witchers' emotions instead of dulling them... so most of cat school witchers came out as impulsive and short tempered - hence the human killings. Vipers were just caught by the balls and ordered what to do... caught between a rock and a hard place

Foltest was by far the best ruler of the Witcher universe. He wasn't perfect by any means (he loved his sister a bit too much lol) but he was just and he was willing to stand alongside his military to fight for the Northern Realms. Oh and he didn't condone slavery, racism, or xenophobia which is a rare trait for Witcher kings.

Best armour ever
