Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Today’s video is all about a certain quest in Skellige, The Lord of Undvik - this is the quest where Geralt is sent to Undvik by Crach an Craite to help his son, Hjalmar. Honestly, I may have gone too far with this one - I don’t even want to talk about how many times I had to replay this quest… and the Cerys’ quest that goes with it… and a couple of the quests after it… you know what, let’s just not talk about it.

If you told me there's a 22min video about all the slightest alterations in a single quest from the Witcher 3 I'd say I'm uninterested but you somehow managed to hold my attention for the whole thing. Well done
I'm playing Witcher 3 for the 5th time,but now i'm on difficulty 2 and level 80.And even so i'm level 80 witcher,with 50% of opened synapses,i still can't kill the ice giant.When i was playing Witcher 3 on story difficulty,things was a bit easier in killing ice giant.But now i'm in real trouble becouse i need alies for Kaer Morhen battle,and i can't change difficulty level on my PS4,sombody please help me.
@@slavenarkaimovski3897 you must suck at this game if you have the easier difficulties set on. The combat is easy to get the hangs of. Even easier when you have skills unlocked. But I’m not sure what you can do about allies and your already low difficulty. Just look up some videos of the fight and learn how to do it properly.
@@megaavonaco9954 A week ago i have reached level 100 in Witcher 3,and when Witcher has reached level 100 in the game,others enemies has reached level 100 as well.Beside playing Witcher 3 on story diffculty was stil long and demanding,just all missions in Bloody Baron Story has take 4:40 hrs to complete,and missions with witch kaera 4:05 hrs.And final battle for toussaint has take 4:30hrs,so its not laughing matter.
Press select pause your game, go to options on the list. Then go to gameplay. Its toward the bottom of the list. You should see a slide bar for the difficulty. Its like the last or 2nd last option in the gameplay submenu.
Well said. I just realized the video was 22min long 😂👍
"Lets dive into this quest..."
Said while showing footage of Geralt diving. I love it when content creators make little touches like that, whether intentional or not.
This channel is beautiful, i saw its birth and i will see its rise
I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear car
@@AxxLAfriku Wtf?
@@charlespc it’s a bot
@@Bro1212_ That makes sense
@@AxxLAfriku You drunk?
This just proves again that this game is much more of a masterpeice than we have previously thought! Six years later we are still finding dialog choices!
"Masterpiece" is pushing it. It's a good game at least and a great game at most
@@BenDover-tk3jj If W3 is not a masterpeice then what is my friend? LOL :) The Witcher 3 Has Won More Game of the Year Awards Than Any Other Game - 251 The last of us witch is another masterpeice was second with 249 LOL
@@BenDover-tk3jj To me is the most condecorated game and the only one that can have the highest score right there with ME, simply bc outside everything we already know the game released on PC, console and even Nintendo, no GoW, last of us or whatever goty of the century that the press would masturbate about it would reach that bc is exclusive to certain people only, games are for everyone not exclusive.
Such a masterpiece you needed to mod the game to get a dialogue from not bugging and completely ruining immersion and creating plotholes..... jk yea it’s great, I just dk if I agree with that term either, a masterpiece would be something like Skyrim or Dark Souls, not Witcher, way too much dialogue, hard to follow the story for some, confusing story/quests, buggy as hell roach, etc. okay I’m ranting sorry I’ll shut up
@@jaron788 The Witcher 3 is the most awarded game in history with a total of 251 awards! These are facts! need i say more! LOL
Another thing english speakers might not have realized is that "undvik" literally means "avoid" in swedish. It made me really wanna go there the first time I heard it lol. The pronunciation Geralt is using sound closer to swedish so that's the right one in my book. I always liked how Skellige seemed a bit like vikings had taken over England and together their culture and language sort of mixed and became a hybrid of the two. Not quite Anglo - Saxon and not quite viking either.
That's cool! Also, cool take on Skellige - never thought of it like that.
Well Vikings did take over England and everything that ensued was just like you said 😂 lol but I know what you meant. People don’t realize just how “Nordic/Danish/Swedish” England really was. It would’ve looked much like Skellige. Course not the badass armor especially like Lugos clan wears (my favorite armor in the whole game especially the helmets besides the normal infantry helmets of the Nilfgaardians which look very similar those cool metal looking horns on their Ancient Roman style helmets)
Clan Drommund armor. That’s one thing I LOVE about Skellige if you pay attention. All clans have unique armors and especially unique helmets. Like I said the coolest helmets in the game aside from Nilfgaard. In fact I feel like Clan Drommund probably got their helmets from dead Nilfgaardians during their raids. Because they look really similar to what the Nilfgaardians wear. And not only that, they look more Roman than the Nilfgaardians we see in game. But who knows Nilfgaard is such a huge empire I’d bet the clan Drommund helmets do come from a specific Legion of a specific province.
Its more like viking + scottish/irish than english + viking
Skellige is literally a mix of Viking and Celtic culture. Kinda like Iceland
During my first run of the game. I was wandering around hunting / clearing secret locations to level up when suddenly the cutscene where the ice giant was feeding the harpies near the shipwreck started. I remember spending almost 2 hours trying to finish this quest with no markers or any details. met Hjalmar the first time ever when he was busy fighting this wyvern thingy. and the dialogue between the two made me pause the game and search online to find out that I'm in the middle of a mission that's started by accident.
this exact thing happened to me!! i went to undvik first thing in skellige to get the master armorer's tools. remember thinking what an interesting, unique area it was in comparison to the rest of skellige... until that first cutscene when i realised id started a quest by accident. funny thing is i obviously hadnt even met hjalmar and cerys at that point, so when geralt started saying all that stuff about tailing hjalmars men i had no idea who he was talking about :') think i got all the way through to the giants meat locker for the tools and then left before i ruined the quest too badly lmao
@@ripceridart i have completed the quest blind with no markers. I felt bad though. I felt like this bug made me lose some bits of the story. I'm planning to play a newgame+ for story purposes only with no other distractions on the side.
That's just happend to me
Happened to me as well. I headed straight to Undvik for armorer’s tools once I got to Skellige. I didn’t know that there would be another quest, so everything related to the giant and Hjalmar got me confused as hell. I was running around poking at everything, thinking “What a weirdly designed quest to find some tools, wtf is going on”
They shouldn't have plagued the map with question marks imo. It breaks exploration and leads to events as you described. Also they are not necessary, they are boons not goals. If someone does not want to explore and discover things, why should they be cursed with question marks? They will be most likely disappointed anyway, if they deprecate exploration. "Oh swell some mats, a useless sword and a random line from a random npc."
I played this game so many times and didn't even know who fallen was or saving him was a thing. Love the vids keep it up
me too
Same, im working to the highest dificulty right now and its so much nicer than normal or hard, very souls like :)
@@jamieburn4577 There's no objective for it. If you turn left instead of right as the video shows, you wont ever meet him. It's a bit "easter eggy"
@@jamieburn4577 Yeah how one plays a game differs from person to person. I try to be thorough and not miss cool side quests. But I guess I just missed this one.
Also, It's a quest that's always been buggy for me.
What??? There is 2 tasks after you reach the first hjalmar's camp, then you pick up 2 different trails with Geralt's witcher senses, if you decided to take left and go to the end, wouldn't it bother you guys to not know what you missed if you went right first? I mean usually when I encounter these situations, I try to follow the path where I'm not supposed to go first, to be able to do everything that's possible and not fail anything, of course in 2015 when I first played, I didn't know which path I should take, so I just saved manually at the point before I needed to make a choice, and then follow one path, then come back to the other path and do something about it and keep going back and forth until I realize what I need to do to complete all tasks from one path and then switch to the other path to follow it through to the end properly and correctly, nowadays of course I already know what I can do first before finishing the quest incompletely, so I finish all the side tasks first and then go to the place where you finally meet hjalmar
Even 8 years after it was released, there’s STILL details we are discovering in this phenomenal game! Wow.. Absolutely LOVE this game-so much content and gameplay in it, amazing stories, and their attention to detail is just RIDICULOUS! One of my all time favs!
Dude I literally did this. It;s my first time playing withcer 3 and I just decided to explore Skellige at level 19, and directly found Hjalmar fighting the Sirens like 2 days ago. It did feel like I was doing something out of order but I couldn't help but appreciate the fact that the developers thought of this possibility and still made it fun for me as a player stumbling onto the "quest". So cool that you decided to cover this specific quest
The quality of your videos is astounding, I'm really interested to see how this channel will evolve
This might be a basic question, but what about the mini- quest that the jarl of undvik gives you? The one where you need to collect twine & nails? I don't think I've ever actually found all the required material. Does it actually do anything?
One of the most in- depth Witcher videos I've ever seen, really well made!
It's kind of confusing - there's no actual quest twine you need to find, you just need the common crafting twine you'll definitely already have. The nails are a quest item you have to find, so it's a little weird.
To answer your question, you just get a little XP if you give the items to him before killing the giant. If you wait until after, no XP. It doesn't make a difference in his ending or anything.
@@NeonKnight Right, that's what I thought, thank you!
You can find nails in the abandoned village where you fight the sirens with hjalmar
I went to the boat after finishing the game and the boat was gone
What quest is hat? Never found it.
Man has his channel for less than a month and pumps out quality content from start to finish. Awesome job mate, keep it up!
The amount of effort that you put in editing, playing and explaining the story it's absolutely amazing.
I really love watching these videos. Hope you keep doing them. :)
Awesome work! I love that you did go into so much depth on such a massive quest. No wonder this quest was completed so early in the production.
I love these deep breakdowns, you're basically digging so deep into the core of a quest it gives us a completely different perspective to the whole game, keep it up 👍
Really fantastic video! The Lord of Undvyk is a favourite of mine as it's always felt so unique! Fantastic to see all the different ways that the quest can go! Thanks for the video!
For a new channel, these vids are incredible
The legend still can surprise us all. Thank you for the video and looking forward to seeing more
This is literally a deep dive into topic, great job!
Such a good channel. Even after all these year you can do content like this with this beautiful game.
Keep it up brother :D
This must've been a massive headache to make. Kudos to you. Keep it coming!
I love your channel mate, i thought i knew so much about W3 played over 500+ hours changing the way i did my play through each time. I never went about playing the game in a different order. Thanks for showing this its quite entertaining and i honestly believe you will grow extememly fast.
you started your channel just days after I decided to 100% the witcher 3 for the second time. I'm loving these videos and I never knew that you could go about so many quests in a roundabout way. Keep making the great content!
you have an incredible way of keeping my interest on something that would normally be long and boring, love it man
Love your work! I'm really looking forward to all of your future content. Thank you for sharing!
I didn't know that this was the first side quest designed for the game, that's really cool! And it really does explain why it's so different compared to the rest. Thanks for putting in all the hours to show us every side of it you could, it's so cool to see how many variations the designers created!! I always wondered what happened to the boat guy, good to know he didn't just disappear only for me lol
I enjoy getting all the separate details great vid!
i love your videos man, keep it up king.
This is the first video I've seen on this particular quest and it's variations. So glad to see fresh Witcher content. Seems like we'll never be rid of this masterpiece.
Awesome video dude, hope to see more from you soon!
This was sick, bloody brilliant video. Keep it up!
Keep it up man. These videos are so good!
Magnificently done, you did the great job. Thanks to this video I've got to know some interesting facts about this game. As a huge witcher fan I appreciate it so much.
Thanks for the upload! I'm going to run a new campaign soon thanks to your vids inspiring me!
EDIT: On your final words, this video was definitely interesting start to finish! I enjoy seeing the contrast between the normal sequence of events and the out of order ones.
just wow, so much work on this video. Thanks for good content!
These are amazing, thank you so much for making this.
I can't even imagine how much time you spent testing this
Great video ... just keep it up
that was a really fun watch, love the content!
Congrats on the growth bro the 2021 witchers gotta stay together 💪
Excellent work as always, thank you!
Dudeee You went so deep in this vid great work
Wanted to say this man I really love what you are doing
This channel is great, been here from the beginning and I'll stay :D
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these videos. They are very high quality, and I love it!
thanks! 😎
I mentioned this on your last video, this is so exciting! I did this on my current playthrough.
I remember trying to do this but I couldn't find the way into the cave before the quest, I searched for a few hours for an open entrance because I had gone up to the forge nearby for the master tools, but I never found the entrance, sad to see I almost found this out on my own so I'm happy to be able to experience it here! Keep up the amazing content! 😍
Thank You For Your Videos! You Never Fail to Deliver or Impress.
Jeez.... I thought I've seen all there was to dig, that's this complex and deep in the Witcher 3, but you somehow found something xLetalis hasn't broached yet, Bravo! Also, the fact that you "fixed" dialogue that was meant to happen was just such a nice icing on the cake for me, goes to show how much there can still be found in the game files, and the shackles hint at how much more cut content there is that we'd absolutely love to see in the enhanced edition.
I really love your video’s quality. It’s carefully made and beautiful. I am looking forward on what’s to come from you.
Easily subscribed and turned on notifications.
Good video, keep up the great work.
Also, one thing I found: If you don't visit herbalist in White Orchard, and find lure yourself. And if you come after slaying the griffin, you can still ask about what happened to that girl herbalist was trying to heal, even trough you never saw or heard about her
Similarly, if you go to the griffins nest you can’t investigate anything but you get a marker straight there after talking to the captain. You won’t have to meet Mislav. Also, the undercover Temerian soldier has a camp in the woods
Both of these have happened to me my first play through because I tend to do too much exploring in open world games(if that’s even possible), so I had already found both the griffin nest and some buckthorn. Because I had unintentionally completely skipped most of the Contract quest, I never realized there had even been a herbalist merchant in White Orchard until my second game. 😑
Great vid! Keep up the great work, thank you.
I really like how much time and effort you spend digging to come up with such small but cool details
Respect ♥️
You and Xletalis are the kings of Witcher 3 content. Keep up the awesome work
This channel is amazing! Feel priviliged seeing the beginning of it, and will definitely see it grow!
Lol i was just thinking about this as i had just played and finished the lord of undvik last night. I love your content and superb editing.
Love this game. Loving the content! Thank you.
I am happy to hear you started this channel only this year, because only this year I got around to playing the game (finally). And since I am late to the party, I love that there is still fresh content being produced, so I can participate in discussions without having to answer to age-old comments :) thank you for doing that and good luck. I am signed up to you, but I won't watch all of your videos right away, since I plan to play through some parts myself that I haven't experienced yet, and I don't want it to be spoiled :)
Love the channel man. Great work!
cant wait for watch the videos about hearts of stone, keep the good job bro
great job, this is exactly what I was thinking about while playing the game these days
This channel is absolutely brilliant! Excellent narration and content, you're going to very well in the future! Good luck!
thanks man! 😎
Keep it up Neon!!
I want to say ! thank you for your efforts and dedication. You just earned a subscriber🤗
Another interesting video I will have a blast watching when I have the time! (It's currently 12 am so I'm going to sleep)
Just wanted to say that the channel is amazing and I can't wait for more content! Keep it up

Another great video, keep it up man
Another banger video much love from the land down Under

Awesome as always 💛
Brilliant work mate :)
As a min maxing perfectionist in most video games im really glad you made this channel. I would love to find out all these things by myself but i simply dont have the time. Thank you for doing this.
Absolutely amazing
Aw man, a 22 minutes video? We are in for a treat. Nice job, mate. Your channel has been growing so fast, you deserve it!
Neon knight! Just when i was starting to miss you
Man I have played through this game at least 12 times and I still learn cool shit from you. Thanks so much and keep the videos coming.
Great details i learned today thanks to you, good job.
really enjoying the videos guy, keep up the good work
Nice to see you dude it cheered me up :D
Brilliant mate, keep it up 👌
The amount of detail in this mission is nuts.
my new fav channel
Great video, great channel! Keep up the good work!
Love your content! Keep at it!
I really like your videos man.
keep up the good work 👍🏼🕺
I seriously can’t believe there are things still being discovered about this game!! Great work!
Dude is making waves, he's just started up with not very many videos but already has over a dozen thousand followers, keep it up🤟🤟
Great video man I love your channel.
Making me wanna replay again 🥴 great video!
i was taking a break from studying and found this video great job
Wow, never try this before. Thank you for the information.
I was literally checking your channel everyday to see if the bell has bugged and missed to show me a notification for your video , but nah its working xd.
Another awesome Witcher 3 video!!! Thanks 🙏
Oh shit didn't notice your last video. Gotta go back and watch it, love the content you make amazing videos
Another great and interesting video!! Keep em coming. I’m interested to know what videos you’ll bring out in the future when you’ve exhausted all the Witcher 3 content. I’d love to see more from you!
Well done on the video! It's quite amazing -- earned my subscribe. Real VaatiVidya level engagement and story telling here!
10:31 that transition was sick man, good job
Great video 🔥
This is my favorite questline, thanks for reminding me of it in these hard times (last year of high school) when i don't even have the time to play the game.
Great content as always, man. I've spent over 200 hours in this game and still didn't know who Folan and The Jar of Unvik were until I saw this video
Your chanell is perfect proov that the change to hide like/dislike ratio isnt to protect small and new chanells, great vid
Carry on with these vids
Thanks for doing the job of breaking the game to find its secrets. I am always interested in discovering something new in this old but still gold game.
This mission is definitely the most complex. Only on my third playthrough I was able to save all of them for Kaer Morhan. Very well explained. Keep up the good work.
