Okay, one good thing about being a witcher. You naturally attract magical hoes. Not even kidding. Witchers apparently give sorceresses a pleasant tingly feeling when in close proximity. So it works in your favor if you're trying to score with a hot sorceress.

There are still active Witcher schools making more Witchers, if I remember correctly the Cat school is still active, the Griffin schools' Witchers left to the north where sentiment was more welcoming and the Bear school had some Witchers start trying to revive their school. In one of the epilogues of the books, supposedly sometime in the future "Witchering" started reviving due to a sharp increase of monsters.

Fallout 4? Ew

I personally feel that the trail of the mountains is counter intuitive to creating more witchers. As it sometimes comes down to pure luck to survive. Or facing against a monster no apprentice could hope to defeat If something like a leshen or royal wyvern happened to inhabit the area during the trial then none of the apprentices have a chance against it. It would make much more sense if the trial consisted of pitting them against increasingly difficult monsters that they are likely to face early in their careers. Ghouls, drowned, wyverns and the like. Having them fight common beast in a controlled environment would weed out the weak and reduce the chances of losing an apprentice with high potential to simple bad luck. Thus wasting years of training and resources. Just because an apprentice stumbles on a slick rock near a stream and smashes his head in while dodging the claws of a monster doesn't mean he was weak or defective. How many times has Geralt survived only through luck? And he's considered the strongest Witcher ever. Luck should not be a factor in creating new witchers.

@xanxv1246

11 ай бұрын

surviving is the maximum goal of the trial, an apprentice by that point has already learned everything he needs to know about monsters to know how to evade them. The forest is just next to Kaer Morhen so it's as controled as the witchers there wanted the forest to be, real life are not controled situations like the ones you described, a lot of times a witcher would take on jobs that he has no idea what beast he is going to face since the commonfolk would probably call anything a dragon or a werewolf same way your mother calls all pokemon Pikachu. The trial of the mountain is meant to open the mind of the witchers to the uncertainty of their job and how they cant never give something for granted. Luck is always a factor from the beggining to the end of the trials, and even after all of that, the graduated witcher can die in their first job by a ghoul and that won't mean the witcher was bad, just shows how lethal that life is. Main reason why even with the increased life-span of a witcher most of them won't live more than a regular person.

@@deussalt4479 Another way to look at this is: quality over quantity, plus avoidance of rebellion. Witchers were never supposed to be a veritable army, only a small school of exceptionally gifted and deadly warriors. To therefore ease up on the final trial is counter-intuitive. Having more witchers around isn't really a good idea, as they could become dangerous to their masters. What isn't mentioned in this video, is that witchers weren't born as an independent school of "warrior monks". They were created by mages specifically to be the best possible foil against specifically monsters. They aren't meant to be an army, just a manageable group of efficient experts in their specific field. So having the trials be largely exceptionally deadly, with a sizeable chunk of hardcore training AND arbitrary luck involved, both ensures the amount of witchers at any given point isn't too small to be a waste of resources, and isn't too big in order to be a genuine threat to the faction of mages that created them. This largely contributed to the fact that when kaer morhen was attacked by a band of commoners with pitchforks, the witchers of the wolf were largely wiped out. They were never meant to be sizeable, and always used as a final resort for monsters. If they should ever become rebellious towards their creators, they could then "easily" be taken out.

Not neccesarily. If you look at the schools as basic rpg classes (cat and viper= rogue, bear=tank/warrior, manticore=mage, Wolf = jack of all trades, etc...) Then you could make a case for having a witcher game with a protagonist whose skills are based around a skill tree which you unlock in a similar vein to how classic mmorpg's do it. Now I know absolutely nothing about coding, but given the technology available now or in the near future, and the already existing precedent of mmorpg class builds, I don't think it's entirely undoable.

If they ever make another Witcher game, I'd love for it to be a fully role-play Witcher experience. Going through training, the trial, and picking which school you are a part of. I also feel like there should be very real restrictions based on which school you choose and clear advantages vs disadvantages. Example, the school of the viper would excel at assassinating's monsters inside cities but is worse at fighting in the wilderness than the bear school. They should also increase the lethality of it all, similar to darksouls. Getting raked by claws while wearing armor shouldn't be terrible but getting pounced on by a gryphon the size of a van should be fatal. Put a far greater importance on the alchemy section as well, by greatly buffing the affects of positions/oils/poisons/traps. Regarding signs, according to the book they are actually really a weak rudimentary form of magic, unless maybe your are from a school that specializes in magic.

The next Witcher game should be a prequel about the first Witchers. How they were created, how the Schools were formed, how the Continent first employed them, how they researched monsters and curses, how they exchanged information. You would start the Prologue as a child in training, going through all the Trials and seeing others die around them. And the main Acts would have decades-long timeskips between them, so that you could gain new scars and knowledge, see friends or lovers die of old age, and cities and villages expand. And recruiting and training the next generation of witchers would be an important part of the story.

4 in 10 is not bad.

Basically 2 or 3 out of 10 survive the trail, those that do get an increased life span. Some where between double to triple the life. You become super human with incredible speed strength and reflexes. You are immune to all poisons and diseases. And To top it off you can survive fatal wounds by drinking potions. All together seems worth it. Like how long do people last in the Witcher universe. It’s very common for parents to lose a child and commonplace for them to simply send them off to the woods to die because of to many mouths to feed. Look at it like this. If you have a kid in the Witcher universe, it seems very likely he won’t make it to 50. Due to plague, war, bandits, monsters and everything else. The quality of life isn’t there for 99% of the people it seems. Being a Witcher means never worrying about these things, being able to take on many bandits at once. If I was a kid I think I’d beg to become a Witcher. Better to risk it for a 30% chance at becoming a super powered being then living a miserable full life if farming. That is if the bandits, or monsters or disease don’t get me first.

Which is crazy since even after ALL that, you can still go out and die instantly to said farmers in an ambush armed with nothing but farming tools.

The mutations don't make you invincible though. In Witcher 3 Lambert mentions how some witchers get through the trials only to die in some swamp to a random swarm of drowners. Then of course there's the racism and bigotry you would experience as a mutant, not to mention the shitty pay the monster hunter profession provides. Basically you would have to endure being hated and harassed by the majority of the population while risking your life almost every day, practically living in poverty while working on dangerous contracts that pay you relatively little. So it's still not exactly an ideal life.

0:35 Females cannot survive the mutations, so witchers do not take them to become witchers, with the exception of Geralt, who took Citi for training only.

THANK YOU! There is not one single Female witcher because of the mutation being aimed at boys. They stopped trying to make female witchers when they just got dead bodies. Stop these liberals lore changes everywhere!

Its probably unlikely, but I would love for a Witcher RPG where you make your own Witcher and in the game, you can do like sidequests where you can choose what Witcher school to specialise in!! But mainly I just want a Witcher RPG where I can make my own character, I love Geralt and all but I wanna make my own badass character and not have one given to me

@@benitocamela3502 Oh I agree 100%, we love the characters of Witcher. I'm just saying like a lot of other RPGS, that I thought it would just be cool if they'd make another game set in the Witcher world but you can create your own Witcher. I'm a girl, I don't really have much in common with Geralt and idk man I just wanted to create a badass lady Witcher where every other female NPC isn't necessarily throwing themselves at me

Appreciate it :)

Can’t wait in the Witcher 4 to pass these trials in the school of the lynx during the tutorial

That was awesome. Take my like and subscribe.

Great video!

Just drink the bathroom potion. Y’know the one where you take everything in the cabinet and pour it into the sink? That did the trick for me.

thanks for not taking 45 mins to explain this

Ah, that's an easy choice. The school of the Wolf is always my first choice.

Yeah, with my environmental allergies and appendix surgery at age 12, nah, I wouldn't have even survived the steps to Kaer Morhen. Cool recap of the trials though, explains why Geralt, Eskel and Lambert are traumatized beyond PTSD when Yennefer mentions performing a similar procedure on Uma in Witcher 3.

Thanks this Tutorial was very helpfull

Where did you find your source on the School of the Viper? I believe their purpose is not assassination (that was Letho's own thing) but instead studying the Wild Hunt.

Right, it was the school of the cat that had many members break with their duty and become mercenaries and criminals.

i wonder if those two mages i believe who were making a potion to make witchers fertile again then it could maybe balance out the mutagens or what not making it more stable in their genes creating a new human species who could rival the elves in longevity as i dont know how old dwarfs can be in the witcher.

@efaristi9737

They weren't mages, just scientists. And i think making humans long lived would be a huge mistake, particurlarly in this universe. Dwarves have a long lifespan. They are said to reach maturity at 50 years old and Broover Hoog, the chief of the Eldests, is said to be over 400 years old or something.

Wichters are badass so many cool perks. If you where to combine one with the power of a dragonborn thats a god.

Man i love to become a witcher

The new medallion picture tease for witcher 4 seems like the school of cat, Imagine we get to actually go through all the trials and everything and the franchise makes another legendary protagonist preferably in early times so characters we know and love would still be interactable or even geralt as a side quest.

Great video

I like how in that animated movie the dude who lost his arm still becomes a witcher and shoots magic out of it like a cannon

Man, i feel like i'd wanna go through with becoming a Witcher. I've always been the "Good Student" in school, getting good grades and studying a lot, so i feel like the tests requiring mental skill would be okay for me. But after years of training, i'd wanna stick with it and try to push through it. Being a Witcher just sounds so cool a life in medieval times, being a monster slaying badass. I know the whole "Hating Witcher" thing kinda sucks, but it's not like it's a very pleasent thing living in those times, anyway. The Medieval Era was hard on everyone, but as a Witcher, i'd at least be pretty well off.

Hexer is a term coined by Sapkowski himself. ;) 3:38 These eyes are so turded. And have nothing in common with eyes hexers have. Same with Yennefer's eyes. She has violet eyes. Yes. But in Polish it says: fiołkowe oczy. Which should be translated to: like violets (flowers). Ergo her eyes are blue.

Her eyes are purple. In slavic countries violets are called something like "purple" we just slightly changed the word purple to create name for that flower.

Thank you.

What doesnt kill you simply makes you stronger

If you think about it witchers are a gritty dark fantasy version of Jedi who mutated themselves and Hunt monsters.

Wolf one, because while speed and agility is important, if you don't hear, see, feel or meaby even smell the attack coming, how are you gonna dodge, block or parry it? I know you can anticipate or frosee an attack, but what if you don't have time to think about that? Higher senses borderline give you ultra instinct, with risks im willing to take.

Where's the first clip from? Been looking for that for a while, I'm a fairly new Witcher fan so it's hard to look for

i'd rather have my knees split and forced to walk a few meters than to go through the mutations lmao

As someone who’s survived having their chest ripped open twice, ba**s broken, nearly become infertile, trained to join the marines, survived gang/school violence from 11, and is felt with a physically weakened body as a result, I see becoming a Witcher as an opportunity to regain what is rightfully mine. Great video.

Despite, or maybe because of, a hip deformity I had great balance as a kid so probably Cat for me.

Its the grasses trial thatd get me 😂. Not only will i probably fail on getting the right mutagens, a whole 7 days suffering might break me

I'm in School of the Chair. Just sitting.

What brought me back to this video was someone asking who would you want as your personal trainer and one of the options was Geralt, this video is why I picked him lol

@LoreTours

Well I'm glad we helped you narrow down your choice of fantasy personal trainers! He may be a bit grumpy and you'll have to chase a lot of monsters but he's shown with Ciri he's a good teacher

There is a theory that geralt's additional trials are the reason why he is still emotional (other is that his mother, who is a sorceress somehow helped him remotely and stopped this side-effect)

4:15 Like Zaeed in Mass Effect 2 said after he described his wound in his eye socket by a bullet: "Rage is a hell of an anesthetic"

This is up there with How to become a Space Marine

Bear School for me. Lifting weights with the bros and spending time in the mountains!

I always like the school of the cat. The cat armor is always my favorite and that one cat witcher you meet is kind of a chad.

I myself prefer the Griffon School, just because I love Sign Magic so much.

great video can you make a video on the most dangerous monster in the witcher

Wanna have a go at C&C & Dune games ??? Let's start with the Mammoth Tanks

I really recommend people read the books, they also explained why witchers were all male , if any wokester ever had that question canonically only men can become witchers

Seriously though, enjoyed the video

Where did you take half of the information from? i cant seem to recall lots of stuff. Also, it was kinda hard to watch this with that netflix shit in the background,. aside from that, great video.

Viper school sounds sick

So, as someone with little knowledge of the franchise…so the “grasses” test is just…a flu? Dreams is just…a really bad trip with an ex? Mountain is…yo, a hunting trip? The sword is…a peer review?

Whats the movie/ series at 4:34?

Where are the animated parts from?

Honestly the Trial of the Grasses just sounds like Spring Break in Florida

I remember reading a fanfic that had a nice fanon about this: Griffins are better at magic than other schools, but if they use it too much, they suffer from what’s basically magic-induced aneurysm. Bears are bigger and stronger, but can develop joint-degeneration. Cats, well, we kinda know that from the games: they are more agile, but easily develop and suffer from psychosis. Vipers have better tolerance for potions and poisons, but can get addicted to them. Wolves, I conveniently forgot about.

@@vaclavsoukup7302 thats just pulled out of the ass. They probably just focus more on those specific fighting styles each school is known for. The wolf school for example goes heavy on the good old longswords, while the viper school teaches to fight with 2 daggers and the bear school relies much more on heavy crossbows and therefor trains the apprentices more on the defense and not agility. Also from what you can see in the games the other witcher from the other schools show no other or new mutations which geralt doesnt have, even then geralt has the most abnormal mutations with his magic being far superior than that of any other witcher because his mother was a sorceress

How do i make the potion of grass? I need to become a Witcher ASAP

What was the show at 8:51?

Wolf or bear thats my jam.

I would have survived the Witcher trials but Witchers wouldn’t have survived my childhood.

Cat school, cause walking on tight rope with improved reflexes seems the easiest

could a witcher seek training from all schools and undergo all trials from each school if he was able to convince enough members of each school to let him?

what show is the one from 4:20

I wonder what is the point of dangerous training if you can just go for monsters to train. It's better to die after killing 2 monsters than dying while training.

Wolf or Griffin would be my choose!

Thanks now i am going to becoming witcher
