Enjoy the first of many #Witchmas treats! /EO5qinveQX Then, in December, Netflix brought forth two new clips during the show’s Witchmas event. Season 2 First Look Clip: Geralt & Ciri | The Witcher It’s apparent that she only has two modes: Completely Off and ALL THE WAY ON. This lady jumps straight to taking his knowledge, his memories and his “very being,” with the end goal of trapping him in the “eternal darkness” of his own mind. When he refuses to tell her what Nilfgaard wants, she doesn’t just magically pull the information from his brain. And speaking of chaos, Tissaia scores some alone time with their Nilfgaardian prisoner and she gives him the absolute business. * The Brotherhood is currently operating under the belief that Yennefer is dead, and that Fringilla is as good as dead for abandoning all rules of Chaos. At this point, I’m thinking she might want to consider loosening Yennefer’s chains, because they’re back on the same team whether they like it or not. Of course, their entire argument becomes moot in the final moments of the premiere when an unseen enemy surrounds the group and quickly kills off Fringilla’s travel companions. Yennefer instead asks Fringilla to rejoin the Brotherhood, whom she believes will welcome her back with open robes, but that also gets a hard pass. They assume that their leaders will accept Yennefer as a sorry-for-losing-the-battle peace offering, but she rightfully theorizes that they’ll probably be killed anyway. * Yennefer awakens in the forest, now in the custody of Fringilla and a handful of surviving Nilfgaardian soldiers. “We’re not ready to get to it yet,” Hissrich says. Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich recently told IGN that the show is deliberately building hype around the Wild Hunt - she’s fully aware of what it means to longtime Witcher fans - but that we shouldn’t expect it anytime soon. Geralt dismisses this as mere horse s–t, and he’s not entirely wrong. He claims to have seen “the Wild Hunt … riding their skeletal horses across the southern sky” just last week, prompting more apocalyptic fears: “The North and South at war, monsters roaming when they should be hibernating, pestilence sweeping the land - maybe it’s the end of days.” But Geralt, who was already out of f–ks before this episode even began, cuts their reunion short by swiping Vereena’s head clean off her body.Īs one last, not-at-all-haunting move, Vereena’s disembodied head looks directly at Ciri and delivers this chilling warning: “He’ll come for you, too.” That’s never good to hear from any head, whether it’s connected to a body or not.Īnd while we’re dissecting prophecies here, we can’t forget about that “portent of doom” Nivellen mentions before s–t hits the fan. “I love you,” she tells him as she pulls herself towards him through the metal lodged in her stomach. Vereena then goes full Exorcist, rotating her head a 180 degrees to look Nivellen in the eyes. The battle takes a surprisingly heartbreaking turn when Vereena threatens to rip out Ciri’s throat, prompting Nivellen (definitely thought he was dead!) to stab her from behind. I mean, Geralt literally stabs this beast through the damn wall at one point. What ensues is a phenomenal first battle to kick off The Witcher‘s second season. Her beautiful features twist into a ghoulish face with a gnarly set of teeth, and she uses her powerful wind breath to make the first move against Geralt. One in particular, a seemingly lovely young lady named Vereena who challenges Ciri’s conception of what makes a “monster.” As she reminds the runaway royal, Ciri’s ability to see the future makes her a monster to some - not to mention that with Geralt as her new guardian, she’s pretty much guaranteed to veer down a dark path eventually.īut when Geralt catches Vereena feeding on Nivellen, her true nature as a bruxa is revealed. Not only is he rocking a fugly new face (those tusks!) and a flowy pirate shirt, but he also gets to post up in a magical mansion where warm baths and roasted chickens seem to fall from the ceiling.Īnd monsters! There are also monsters in the ceiling. Where to even begin with this guy? Recently cursed by a priestess for desecrating her temple whilst high on mushrooms, Geralt’s pal is basically living the full Beauty and the Beast fantasy. But when their first destination turns out to be empty and unguarded (suspicious!), they chart a new course for Geralt’s “old friend” Nivellen. So, where to next for this monster-killing mutant and his lawfully acquired princess? The plan is to hit up Geralt’s hidden hometown of Kaer Morhen (aka Witcher HQ), stopping at a quaint little village along the way.
