This video, the final episode in the "Things You May Have Missed in The Witcher 3" series, celebrates the game's 10th anniversary by highlighting often-overlooked details, references, and hidden elements. The video covers a range of discoveries, from character-specific items and dialogue options (Geralt's Kama Sutra, Tris's Pretty Woman reference, unique NPC reactions) to combat mechanics (parrying spears), quest outcomes (failing the Arendite trials), and environmental secrets (cave paintings, inscriptions, character appearances based on quest choices). It also touches upon removed content and cut storylines. The creator expresses gratitude to viewers who contributed many of the findings and reflects on the game's impact before concluding the series.
Exploring the World: Hidden Details, Secrets, and Cut Content
0:04 Final Episode & 10th Anniversary: The video marks the special and final episode of the series, coinciding with the game's 10th anniversary.
1:03 Geralt's Kama Sutra: Geralt carries a copy of the Kama Sutra if equipped with the Zerrikanian saddlebags (obtained from Skellige races or Putrid Grove vendor); it can be seen attached to Roach and the title is readable in Glagolic.
1:36 Other Characters with Kama Sutra: Some male sorcerers, including one saved from witch hunters near Novigrad and Carduin (who also had it in The Witcher 2), possess the Kama Sutra.
2:04 Pretty Woman Reference: During Tris's masquerade quest, a drunk guest references the Pretty Woman movie by calling Tris "Vivien" and her previous lover "Baron Edward", mirroring the main characters of the film.
2:59 Funny Tris Dialogue: A humorous dialogue option during the masquerade allows Geralt to tell Tris her followers have no other choice, leading to a slightly awkward exchange before complimenting her eyes.
4:21 Unique NPC Fire Reaction: At least one type of hostile NPC (Iris von Everett's fears/clones) has a unique, almost relishing reaction to being set on fire.
5:15 Spear Parrying & Breaking: It is possible to parry and even break the spears of certain bandit-type enemies by parrying at the last moment; they will then use the broken spear as a wooden stick. Halberds and poleaxes cannot be parried.
6:05 Failing Arendite Trials: The video explores what happens if you fail to acquire all five virtues necessary to obtain the Arendite sword; the sword vanishes, and the spirit expresses disappointment.
6:43 Virtue Failure Bug: There seems to be a bug where the game doesn't properly register failed virtues if the quest route bypasses the virtue-granting choice (e.g., failing to catch Umbra, visiting the unseen elder before Fairy Tale Land).
7:40 Specific Wisdom Failure Steps: The creator outlines six specific actions to fail the Wisdom virtue: incorrect guess about Milton's location, failing to lift curses from the white lady and Daphne, not encouraging Hugo to make peace, incorrect candle order, and losing the Gwent tournament.
9:48 Removed Scenes (Optional Mod): Two unique dialogue scenes, removed from the base game but optionally enabled via mods, are shown:
9:58 Ciri at Skjall's Grave: An exchange between Geralt and Ciri while searching for Skjall's grave, where Ciri expresses aggression towards the villagers despite their hardships, possibly removed due to its length or Ciri's portrayal.
11:04 Plague Victims in Velen: A dialogue option revealing the common belief that Nilfgaardians brought the plague to Velen.
11:53 Cut Storyline Elements: The video briefly mentions a cut storyline involving specific Nilfgaardians, the plague, demonology, the Devil's Pit, and a different version of the "Reason of State" quest that would have included Yorvith and alternative character fates (Roach killing Radovid, Ves killing Thaler).
12:34 Morg Gate Scene: A small, potentially unfinished cutscene is available at the Novigrad morg gate if you visit without Fongrats after Priscilla's attack; Geralt speaks to a guard but requires a pass or morg worker's vouch.
13:42 Cave Drawing Reference: In a cave north of the morg, drawings on the wall and ceiling resemble the prehistoric cave paintings found in the Bhimbetka caves in India.
14:32 Characters Attending Ceremony: Several characters attend the ceremony where Siana kills Anna Henrietta in the Blood and Wine ending if their personal quests were resolved positively (e.g., Guome, Vivien, Jacet & Francois, Gwent tournament organizer, Bridget, the lady who lost her ring).
15:37 Anamorphic Painting: In Beauclair, there's a painting that appears to change shape or orientation depending on the viewing angle.
16:00 CDPR Founder Painting: A painting found in Oriana's place and on city gates potentially depicts Martin Iwiński, one of CD Projekt Red's founders, based on a viewer's speculation and visible resemblance.
16:34 Reavers' Heads: Two inscriptions are found on Reavers' heads: "Rojina" (family) and a longer, more confusing one possibly meaning "I've had enough of these daddies" (based on viewer interpretation).
17:49 Beauclair Buildings: An inscription on Beauclair buildings is upside down and appears to be a Japanese culinary proverb about bean paste.
18:14 Latin Inscription: The shirt of the wine expert summoned by Anna Henrietta has "In venino veras" written on it, meaning "truth in wine" or "in wine there is truth," which is both a common saying and literal in the game's plot revealing the killer.
19:09 Flag Color Change: In Toussaint, the vibrant flags across the city turn pure black if Anna Henrietta dies in the Blood and Wine ending.
19:21 Other Toussaint Details: Mentions Celtic crosses, a French/Belgian rooster depiction, and depictions of the "dance of death" in Toussaint.
19:43 Mystery Initials: Carved initials "C+H" (likely mirrored, so H+C) are found on a wooden beam near the cursed chapel; their meaning is unknown, possibly a developer easter egg.
20:40 Viewer Contributions: The creator thanks specific viewers (Sasha Lemova, Mr. Suspicious N, Uda Prattama, Miss Tiger Laya) for contributing many of the details shared in the series.
21:45 Series Conclusion: The video confirms there are no current plans for future "details missed" videos for The Witcher 3, marking the end of the series.
22:50 Final Dialogue Clip: Ends with a brief clip of Geralt and Ciri discussing the coin flip from the previous video.
