Welcome back everyone, Toss a coin to your witcher this is going to be my new Witcher
season 2 teaser trailer for geralt you're brand-new to the channel, be sure to subscribe
to get all the videos there's a whole bunch of Easter eggs here, they'll go over and as
you probably guess they have is big plan for dropping even more footage that I'll explain
Netflix is doing a special Witcher convention that is calling it which are con on July night.
And it's good to be combined with the Witcher video game to be a bunch of video game stuff
going on hand-in-hand with the Netflix Witcher season 2 stuff and based on what they've done the last week.
Like last Friday they dropped the ciri teaser trailer another dropping a geralt teaser trailer
this past Friday the pie drop a yennefer one this coming Friday the pie drop the Witcher
season 2 trailer the bigger trailer at this big convention July 9 to be in a big video
game reveals because CD Project red that it's going to be a long time before they drop a
new AAA Witcher game.
But the geralt trailer footage here starts with him inside a dark mansion, that seems
like it based on the other footage it's Nivellen's mansion from the grain of truth short story
from the last wish so even though most of the story of the Witcher season two is taken
from blood of elves because they said they're doing blood of elves for season two is the
next book in the timeline of the Witcher book series after last wish and sword of destiny,
which they did for most of season one.
As you can see based on some of the casting announcements they're pulling some of the
stuff they cut from season one in the last wish forward to season two so that also goes
hand-in-hand with this other image of the zoetrope the lantern here depicting the two
lovers on the wall also inside that same big mansion.
And when Geralt or someone else seemingly uses an igni sign or magic to light the fire
in the fireplace.
And you see geralt's silver sword which we didn't really see him use that much during season 1.
All those are things that come from.
Nivellen story during the books Nivellen section being played by none other than tormund giantsbane
from game of thrones.
During season three before they climbed the wall he boasted about bedding a bear witch
Ygritte shut down hard core, like hell no you didn't sleep with a bear then during game
of thrones season eight he told that epic story about the she bear thinking him one
of her cubs and nursing him through winter so the even funnier thing here in the Witcher
season two is that he's kind of playing a bear of sorts he is playing a monster.
But I human who's turn into a monster the story of nivellen the character that he's
playing is like a really really dark witchers style twist on beauty and the beast most of
you all remember the story because the Disney versions where a woman is forced to live with
a man that turns into a monster because he's been cursed something terrible that he did.
But slowly she eventually falls in love with him and lifts the curse and they live happily
ever after the story of nivellen in the Witcher books is a way darker and there is kind of
a happy ending but a really dark happy ending like there no real super happy fun time endings
in the Witcher.
It's always some sad spin on a happy ending the reason why the short story that that comes
from is called a grain of truth is because geralt learns part of nivellen's story at
first and makes his own judgments about the nature of his curse and what's going on.
But then later learns the whole story and it winds up being so much crazier than he
expected when geralt happens upon his mansion.
He finds Nivellen who tells him about this curse that he has and how he came to accept
it because he thinks it's permanent any just live with it for a long time without giving
too much away about the story he did something really really terrible to a woman a long time
ago in feels like he deserves the curse so he just accepted it as a woman living with
him who seems like she's either forced to live there, but it's very mysterious she doesn't
talk her name is vereena geralt starts learning about her starts questioning her and things
don't add up.
So he's her to get really suspicious of her thinking that she's a monster to she doesn't
eat human food so eventually geralt the suspect her a being a bruxa, which is a type of vampire
in the witchers series the take the form of human women.
So eventually he figures out that she's sort of the parasite of the situation instead of
it being the other way around.
Like the beauty and the beast story thing he that she's just using nivellen's curse
energy to sort of feed around the area of his mansion.
She winds up attacking geralt once he learns her secret but he slashes her with his silver sword.
Like us silver sword for special kinds of monsters like vampires that's why normally
you see him using his regular sword.
Because the silver sword is really effective against humans.
But eventually she does reveal the truth to geralt telepathically that after Nivellen
gets involved in the battle, geralt still tries to kill her because he thinks that she's
the villain of the situation until he learns that she was in love with nivellen and he
was in love with her but she's been mortally wounded so as she lay dying so that nivellen
won't have to live without her.
She tries to mercy kill him also because he is the curse she is one \f1\endash to live
with the curse without her it without completely giving away everything else about what's going
on with the story.
It has this really kind of sad but happy ending at the same time is very dark in in the tone
of what you would expect from the Witcher inserted highlights how the going way darker
with the season two tone if you didn't feel like the Witcher season one was dark enough
but that's what you say the story is a very dark twist on beauty and the beast.
This is a scene of geralt and ciri walking through the courtyard at Kaer Moren with them
framing the shot through the monster bones.
Just to illustrate what it is that they do here at the school the wolf we teach people
how to kill monsters Ciri is eventually trained as a Witcher.
So she kind of becomes a Witcher and acts like a wager but she does undergo the trial
the grasses of the Witcher mutations, so technically she is not a Witcher.
She might wind up getting her sword at the end of season two.
Maybe season three.
It depends on how fast her go to speedrun the plot she really doesn't get it till much
later in the story like it doesn't happen right away when she just starts out training,
but her sword is called Zireael.
Because that's her name in the elder speech.
It translates to swallow.
So that's why her emblem on the series like when you see them do the emblems of the beginning
of the intros is a swallow.
So basically the sword is named after her.
But nobody that she knows none of her friends year or geralt or yennefer call her zireael
they'll call her Ciri speaking of which this is someone getting out of the bath at the
keep, everyone post your geralt tub memes.
This is probably Ciri though just guessing by the dainty looking foot they did say there
will be more gratuitous geralt tub scenes during season two.
This is geralt just sharpening regular sword looking like he's getting ready to train are
getting ready for a fight.
These are actually a very special kind of purple flower that only grow where elder blood
has been spilled.
So you can assume what's happening here in the courtyard this is probably Ciri training
in the practice yard and just gets cut bad enough to spill some blood on the ground.
Revealing her true nature as someone of the elder blood.
Although Geralt doesn't really keep any big secrets from Vesimir about Ciri or the other
witchers like Coen, Lambert and Eskel because during this part of the story they're all
at the keep with geralt and help train ciri in different ways.
Along with uncle Vesimir, Triss is also their this seems like her hand reaching out to grab
someone she's mostly there to provide some magical guidance because ciri is a source
she has great affinity for magical power.
Like she could become a more powerful mage than the other regular mages on the TV show
and in the books Ciri has all kinds of crazy powers that they'll probably unlock and reveal
through future seasons the show.
Like she can teleport, she can even travel through time, although none of the time travel
stuff happens to little bit later in the story.
So not expecting any crazy time travel anytime soon.
That doesn't even get into her battle with the white frost that was happening with the
wild hunt all talk about them a second to this is someone just holding a Witcher medallion,
you see a bunch of them hanging up behind geralt at the keep in the light here.
These all belong to dead witchers though from the school the wolf's was kind of like a memorial
another sad reminder about how their order is dying out slowly because they can't make
any new witchers.
Because they lost the ability to create new witchers this is them just preparing a meal
at the keep, this seems like it might be our first look at Vesimir in the background here
is being played by Kim Bodnia from killing eve.
I would've loved to see mark Hamill is Vesimir there was so much fan art of that, it sounds
like it almost happened, but for scheduling issues or whatever wound up not working out
there was also a bit of a virus situation last year which made everybody shut down filming
several times in the Witcher was no exception then to shut down filming a couple times this
is geralt and ciri just preparing for another fight this painting on the wall here actually
looks like it's meant to depict the conjunction of the spheres with the planets coming into
proximity with each other depicting the crossing or people and monsters are able to more easily
travel between worlds of the multiverse.
There are special unicorns in the world of the Witcher.
that are like extradimensional beings that can freely travel the multiverse any time that they want.
They become a big part of the wild hunt storyline later on what you learn about the origin of
the wild hunt in the origin of ciri's elder blood and the race that created it.
Eredin the leader of the wild hunt comes from that race of elves that created the elder
blood and it does seem like they filmed scenes with the wild hunt for Witcher season two
see the writing on the beach year so they do make a brief appearance I believe during
blood of elves when people are mentioning them, but they don't actually become real
big characters in the story till much later on sweep I won't see a ton of them during season 2.
And are really sure with this goal is supposed to be.
But like I said, there's a whole bunch of other footage we're probably going to get this Friday with
Yennefer's version this teaser like you see someone with hands in shackles here.
This is yennefer piping captured by the Nilfgaard, he is being forced to serve in the court of
emperor emhyr I don't think Hassan actor to play him yet.
We might ask you see him on screen till season three her future season.
Once he shows up.
They'll be all kinds of stuff that will need to talk about.
But don't want to get too far ahead of the story.
He spotted any other Easter eggs during this teaser trailer that I didn't talk about during
the video though just right them blown the comments and I will do a new teaser trailer
video when they release the yennefer teaser this Friday presumably big reminder that a
really big trailer reply becoming on July 9 my full Loki episode 3 video is get post
next week.
Just like normal and rick and Morty season 5 is starting so I rick and Morty season 5
episode 1 video will post Monday morning what you wafer everything.
