Although The Witcher series is inspired by the novel series of the same name by writer Andrzej Sapkowski, Netflix has not forgotten to install a lot of details, easter eggs are related to CD Projekt RED’s version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game. . And the second season, released on December 17, 2021, is no exception.
Of course, most of these details are quite minor, usually don’t affect the script too much, and can easily be missed if the audience is not paying attention. However, it is such easter eggs that make this series more attractive and well-received, especially for fans who have “plowed” the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Bruxa loves roses
Geralt’s first opponent in season 2 is a bruxa vampire named Vereena. She secretly lives with Nivellen, an old friend of the witcher, and the mastermind behind a massacre in a nearby village. After a fierce fight, Geralt destroyed the bruxa by beheading and burning her body.
The name Vereena was once mentioned in the game The Witcher 3, but specifically in the quest Skellige’s Most Wanted, when Geralt was trapped by a group of monsters to take his life for killing too many of their kind. In it, they mention Vereena, forcing the witcher to explain that she is dangerous and must be destroyed. They call Vereena a bruxa that loves roses, a special flower that Nivellen grows in his garden.
Geralt doesn’t like magic portals
In order to get to Istredd’s office and learn about the origin of the outer stone of Cintra, Geralt passed through a magical teleportation portal created by Triss. Before that, he had intended to move in the more traditional and familiar way, that of riding on the back of his faithful Roach. However, because of the urgency of the time, Geralt had to resort to the portal, even though he himself did not like it one bit.
For gamers who love The Witcher 3, this detail is probably not strange at all, and Geralt himself has repeatedly said the sentence: “I hate portals”, even covering his face with his hands. when using them. If you remember, in the early game, when Yennefer proposed to rush Geralt to Velen to track Ciri, the witcher refused and decided to travel by horse.
Gaunter O’Dimm
Gaunter O’Dimm is one of the most interesting and terrifying villains of The Witcher 3. In the role of a powerful and equally mysterious demon, he often makes blood contracts with others, help them fulfill their wishes and then take their souls. Some fans believe that Voleth Meir, the main antagonist of season 2 of The Witcher series, was also inspired by this character.
The Easter egg about Gaunter O’Dimm is already obvious, because it’s one of the most impressive scenes of the last season: Fringilla Vigo uses poison to paralyze General Nilfgaard and uses a sharp stick to pierce his eye. him, like when Gaunter O’Dimm froze time, then stabbed the eye with a wooden spoon of someone who dared to interrupt his earlier conversation. And of course, both victims suffer the same end, which is death.
Yennefer’s favorite item
During a conversation with Geralt and Ciri at the temple of Melitele, Yennefer said she used to use a stuffed unicorn until it broke down to the point of being unusable. Fans of The Witcher series understand how much this unicorn means to the mage-monster hunter couple. Yennefer even later modifies it, and depending on the player’s choice, Geralt and her will use it one more time immediately after obtaining the Uroboros Mask.
The dual swords of the Viper-class witcher
Kaer Morhen plays a big role in the second season of The Witcher, and is also one of the locations fans look forward to seeing on the smallest screen. Most of Geralt and Ciri’s time in this season is spent here, with many important events occurring such as Eskel’s death, Ciri’s training, or the final battle with Voleth Meir.
In the scene where Vesemir takes Ciri on a tour around Kaer Morhen’s armory, the audience can see two swords of the witcher school Viper, once included in The Witcher 3 game. This is a glimpse and very easy to miss, in the same way that many players miss the silver Viper against Gaunter O’Dimm.
Wolf head medallion
The medallion is an important item for witchers, helping them to discern signs of nearby magic and monsters. In the TV version, the medals are designed like medals, with a circular texture with a wolf head motif printed on top.
However, in the scene where Vesemir hangs Eskel’s medallion on a tree branch in Kaer Morhen’s hall, we can see another medallion with a more fancy wolf head design, like in the CD Projekt series of games. That’s RED.
The rock troll is too friendly
Ciri has gone through a lot of upheaval in a short period of time. So it’s not surprising that the little girl kept having nightmares during her journey to Kaer Morhen. Instead of comforting his destined daughter, Geralt shared about a time he himself had a nightmare related to an outrageously friendly stone troll.
In the game The Witcher 3, Geralt also met many such stone trolls, and if chosen wisely, players can completely spare their lives.
