“King foltest trophy: 5% bonus gold”
Thats Demavend
Hahah
Haha nice
Ealdorman: "Yer back. Does that mean...?"
Letho: "The king won't be taxing you any further. Pay up."
Ealdorman: "Oy, me purse is a bit meager. If ye comes back in a fortnight, I'll pay every coper."
Im gonna need someone like him. I already have Geralt, but Letho is on the same strength as me
I didn't notice until now that letho casted quen before throwing the vial.
I thought that was kind of activation of nothern wind
omfg, really!
Yeah I forgot Quen was originally blue
@@PaperEater_ Actully it was yellow from the start. In witcher 1 Queen is yellow, then in witcher 2 they changed it for blue but apparently ppl didn't like it so they back to yellow in witcher 3
Xalex021 oh thanks, I didn't know because I've seen basically nothing relating to to the original witcher
Gotta hand it to that archer guy. I think he was just there as the hired entertainment, but he still tried his best. Good for him.
Not good for him (because he died), but to me he was the biggest hero. He wasn't paid for this shit and when everything went to hell and a mutant freak charged him and the ground collapsed around him, he still stood still and took his time to aim... rather than jumping off the ship.
Well, he was hired for this shit. He has the colours of Aedirn and is probably member of kings personal guard/elite archer unit. The fact that he was asked to show of as entertainement does not make him a civilian.
He's a member of the elite Black archers.
czcams.com/video/c1Ds8TVjJG4/video.html
His name was Tybalt of Vengerberg. He was a member of the armed guard, he wasn't hired but merely participated in the entertainment. It's why he was allowed to stand near the King while the rest of the entertainment began because he was there to guard him. He was paid for this shit. but his resolve, and commitment didn't wane and still deserves to be commended. CD Project Red doesn't fuck around when it comes to characters, the two schmoe guardsmen also had names (Himsbach and Anselm). The Mage's name was Abelard of Hagge.
holy shit.. that assassination was masterful. Gotta give props to the mage though, his reaction time was on point. Even saw in a split second that it was an ice explosion and countered with a fire shield.
Raza who was the mage
nelson lagunas Albricht, a pyromancer in service to ehmyr var ehmreis
Yeah right, spare the most dangerous person on the ship out of honor :P
It was Abelard of Hagge.
Probably he was not. A mage in service to ehmyr var ehmreis would not try to defend Demavend.
3:01 That attention to detail on the arrow flight. Incredible.
@sbcontt YT also how he stabbed through the chain mail of the archer with his bowie... Sure, the clippoint would go through, but it wouldn't go all in and even less he'd be able to rip it out like he did...
Edit: it wasn't a bowie, but that doesn't change my point.
indeed the cinematic is flawless even form a physics stand point
a witcher CAN stab through plate of the weapon can take the stress
@sbcontt YT shield wall would've been realistic but maybe this was just too sudden and caught them off guard
Edit: they also might not have known he was a witcher and thought they could handle him. It seems like only the mage was keen in this scene.
The strange part is how many regular humans in the Witcher universe are so cocky when it comes to conflict with a witcher. It seems like only other superhuman beings like mages, higher vampires, dragons, some relicts, and the few magical races (such as the Wild Hunt) would have any sense in showing such confidence.
Impressive how fast Letho can move for someone his size. Among all the Witchers seen so far, Letho's the swolest - yet his speed is on par with Geralt's.
Viper witchers are trained to be the fastest, considering they're made to fight the hunt, fast attacks in the weakpoint of the wraiths, is the idea.
Cat school are the fastest
There is literally no definitive statements from the games saying which school is fastest tf are you guys on 💀
@@professorparadox795 You can judge certain schools by the armor they give. School of the bear vs school of the cat have wildly different armor types favoring different speeds. Although Viper never got one but I'd imagine it to be similar to cat
11 years ago and this is still better than cinematics today.
Letho speculates in W3 that the the Viper school were founded specifically to fight the Wild Hunt. This scene actually shows why, the use of Cold inducing magic, knife techniques targeting weak points in armour, swift but distracting assassination techniques better for taking down sentient humanoids than instinct driven monsters.
Good point
Why should cold magic be good against the Hunt? i think it's the opposite
@@celacanto2404 Not that cold magic is good against the Hunt. They probably studied the technique, created their own alchemy induced version, then found it effective against other targets.
@@celacanto2404 To effectively fight an enemy, you should first learn all their tricks.
@@celacanto2404 He used spell protecting him from the cold, isn't that good for Wild Hunt? Unless, Quen in the second game was blue in colour and not yellow like third one.
Geralt: What's the plan?
Letho: Improvise
letho defenetly didn't improvise here
Thats not how improvisation works lmao
An amazing scene and incredible music. That video was a piece of art.
+Sun God Ra
Tomek Baginski rulz. You should also check out his trailer for the European Space Agency mission Rosetta called "Ambition" and his Kafka-esque horror comedy animation "Fallen Art".
Sun God Ra this video is From Poland
It sounds like mozarts lacrimosa
Letho is awesome legend.
Anyone know the name of the music
I love the clothes in the witcher. Makes medieval europe actually look colorful and interesting and not like everyone just wears dirty rags and basic rusty armor.
well, colour was one of more important parts of a medieval city, in clothing, decoration and buildings
This isn't Europe you moron
Not really medieval europe considering the Witcher is a fantasy series taking place in a world/planet that is colonized by Earth humans most likely thousands of years ago. But it is refreshing to see how CDPR have done their best to make the medieval aesthetic as colorful as it is back then unlike the Hollywood take where everything is gray and mud.
@@michaeltariga5285 I thought it implied that it took place in the future because it stated that humans destroyed there original world
@@hackergaming6372 The "ancient civilization" trope is not something new in fantasy genre. Witcher world dedicate entirely to the fantasy medieval style, with kings, empire, primitive weapons and magic, witchcraft. It has its own lore and It doesn't have any giant robots or space ships randomly pop up. It is not "real medieval" or "scifi", it is "fantasy", fictional.
I love how assassins in fantasy games are almost always depicted as slim, graceful, almost effeminate... And Letho is a brute. Reminds me of Malazan BotF where some of the best assassins and spies are large men that often use strength to get the job done.
Kalam ! 😎
He also reminds me of the Darth Bane who also always striked me as a massive brute of a man who had wits sharp as a knife.
@@chillax319 DARTH BANE!!!
Letho isn't your average dumb brute, he's extremely intelligent and that's why a lot of his adversaries underestimated him.
@@muhammadnursyahmi9440 yeah, he mentioned that he likes to use his "big dumb guy" looks to catch people off guard and aid in subterfuge and deception
gives me chills every time... Still one of the best cinematic trailers ever made.
I geddit, chills
Not even close
best ever made? you should watch World of warcraft trailers then
@@rayenabdrabbah8697 this one better
lima249 please master tell me what’s better than this? I need it, the unknown information that no one knows, but you might help right?
Tell me
“Not even close”
Bruh ok boomer
7 years later this level of CG is achievable in real time engine.
Errrr maybe god of war comes close but definitely not there yet...
no its not
Real time cinematics as good as this are certainly now achievable in-engine in quite a few games today (as a PlayStation guy I can only speak from my point of view). The aforementioned God of War engine can render this cinematic just as beautifully, Naughty Dog’s proprietary engine can also do it, but most of all the Decima engine that powered Death Stranding can absolutely achieve this, just take one glance at the cinematic brilliance Kojima was able to achieve with that game and you’ll see what I’m saying. All that said tho, all credit to CDPR for this awesome trailer, it’s really stood the test of time.
Devil may cry 5 has already done it
@@Tobi_237 It's not the engine that's the problem, it's the ridiculous amount of processing power needed to simulate all the physics that's involved in the frozen ship breaking apart in real time, we are not even close to achieving any of that at a stable framerate. They could probably make a close approximation tho with some clever use of particle effects and whatnot. At any rate, looking forward to what games will look like on next gen consoles and what they can achieve.
Letho, Kingslaying Before it was cool.
MidnighWolf what?
Game of Thrones reference.
To be fair, Jamie wasn't really trying to kill the king as much as he was trying to save millions of people from burning alive. Letho makes killing kings his job
For real tho. Lmao
Dankest Memes Makes no difference.
This man just sank an entire ship, killed an obviously very skilled archer, a masterly mage and a king and went off as if nothing happened.
And then you meet 3 stupid thugs at an inn who think they can kill a witcher
@Osiedlony The whole thing took place in seconds, its just slowed down for dramatic effect.
@@Bendetoma exactly, thats why archer kinda failed, probably 5-7 seconds at most
skilled enough 2 miss 2 shots
@@landlockedcroat1554 ship was shaking, and definitely he wasn't prepared and panicked
@@landlockedcroat1554 Not only was it extremely understandable for him to miss like others have said, he would have hit with that second shot if his target was anyone without a witcher's supernatural reflexes.
I always pitty the archer. He seemed as a cool guy and tried his best against cold bloody killer.
That's the last time he ever does parties for sure
@@SirDamned 😂💀
This is by far the best intro in video game so far - fuckin hell - what an awesome cut scene!
Agreed.
djmocok awesome!!
djmocok who the mage ?
nelson lagunas The mage in the video? It's Albrich, a mage in service to Emhyr.
Period.
21st of December 2019 and this is still one of the best game trailers ever. Long live the white wolf geralt of rivia.
Long live the white wolf geralt of rivia.!!!!!!
Yeah this is also my all time favorite trailer next to wotlk
Long live Letho he is second my favorite witcher after Lambert.
@@joons3374 than you going to like this
czcams.com/video/5GLtk2cLRu4/video.html
Praise the wolf admist beast!
I like how the guards appeared to be fairly competent actually, especially that mage. Letho really was just that dangerous.
I fucking love how they made the mage notice the freeze vial immediately. That's exactly what I would see the sorcerer do.
Give letho his own goddam dlc or his own game
A game with Dishonored/Hitman style gameplay in the Witcher setting. I would buy that
but isn't he dEaD
letho not dead if u choose to let him live on Witcher 2
I mean, in that TW3 side-quest line? IIRC, it's a long time since I did it
You only get that sude quest if you transferred your progress from TW2 over to TW3 where you let him live, or you said in the interrogation at the start of the game in the castle that you let Letho live
I love the super fast mages reaction of and raising of fiery shield to stop the ice, and little details for example how arrogant king Demavend is relaxed and still takes a sip of wine after rest of the ship is frozen, how he still feels unteachable behind his mage and shield like nothing can hurt him, and Letho's charge and speed and dodging skill, and badass last moment with jumping of with a head on his waist.. awesome scene. and the second Foltest assassination was also amazing and more emotional...
Those 360 era commercials went HARD. Halo 3, Halo ODST, all of the original Assassin Creed games . . . they were all in a league of their own, and I miss those days.
This is an example of poor party formation in MMO: Archer up front, tanks in the middle, and no one protects your support. God damn noobs.
I chuckled
same in mobile legends
@@helcurt2509MOBA KOK ANALOG :V
lmao
They should've gone with the scissor formation
Letho is an incredible character, enormous/but agile, pretty dumb face/ very intelligent and cunning maybe more than geralt, and he came for a died breed of witcher (viper) which doesn't exist in the books? So he became an soldier of fortune. A great antagonist.
i really liked the character as soon as i saw the first trailers, together with Iorveth
his face looks cunning to me, especially his eyes
Not really. Letho was extremely stupid to trust Emhyr to rebuild witcher schools, then he got betrayed by the cunning emperor as expected. He is pretty much the entire reason how Nilfgaard managed to invade the entire continent easily. The kings' death cause the kingdoms to descend into chaos.
@@johnnychan04 as far as i remember emyr threatened to absolutely destroy thr viper school and its witchers if letho sosnt comply
@@johnnychan04 everyone's got a weakness. His is bringing back the school that made him who he is today. Don't blame him in the slightest
Letho deserves a game of his own
@@Insider887 Sounds Cool
Wish
or at least a DLC where we play as him or smth
That's how witchers from the viper school get the job done.
Isn't he a bear?
I tought him as a cat
All witchers have puss peepers
full savage god that lady annoyed me, still did the job though
witchers' piss is stored in their balls (it's canon, from the books)
This trailer and letho in general sold me 1000% on "big guys with daggers" aesthetic. It's still my favorite character archetype.
The fact that he assassinated them at broad daylight and swimming across a narrow sea makes him 2x bad-ass. Most assassins goes at night and this dude doesnt give shits if people can see him.
Not the sea, the Pontar river, it even says so in the video
0:50 I feel the pain. He is like: This guy is royalty and I'm just a steward. Fuck you universe
Love how the ship stands perfectly still for a while until someone (the archer) breaks the balance and everything falls apart like a house of cards.
Oh boy here i go killing again -letho
Ah a man of culture!
They grow up so fast!
An accurate portrayal of how a Witcher would cope in the Harry Potter universe.
I'm pretty sure the sorcerers and more powerful in the Witcher universe
@@MetalCharlo someone like Voldemort or Dumbledor can go against viltfortz
@@MetalCharlo given time you would be right but in a head on fight I say a Harry Potter wizard would win
@@M4xon_ ??? Did you see the fight between dumbledore and voldemort?
@@bryankennel730 Didn't Yenefer create a firestorm that wiped out an entire army? A sorceress in the witcher 2 did the same thing but wiped out TWO armies. I don't think anyone in the HP universe is on that level.
One of the greatest intro scenes to a video game ever.
7 years after this still looks great
I think there should be a DLC where you play as Letho as he kills the kings and takes their heads. It should lead up to when he kills Foltest.
He killed only two. That would be a very short dlc.
only demavend and foltest? Thatd be too short imo
@@ItsMrConnor could still be very long because of the things leading up to them
Letho, the ancestor of agent 47
i wouldn't mind playing as letho tbh
Playing as serrit and auckes was cool in vernon roche's chapter. Imagine playing with letho
S3DisBored that fat Basterd?
Your embarassing yourself😆
@@TheMrGasparus pretty sure this a joke but Letho is the definition of buff
Letho biggest badass in rpg universe.
+GladX the Illusive man is bigger)
+JustRussianGameChannel He got manipulated/indoctrinated from the start and almost ended up destroying that which he wanted to protect. That doesnt sound like a bad-ass to me.
+UchihaDualStorm and letho got manipulated and betrayed and forced on the run by the time of witcher 3, not much better tbh.
dah0heavy Except he didnt almost doom the entire Milky Way galaxy.
+UchihaDualStorm well going by scale he plunged his entire continent into war and chaos, which to him is basically his entire world. He also had a stupid reason for doing it, the re-institution of his school was not worth all those lives lost when Nilfgaard invaded the north.
10 years later and still an incredible trailer
11 years later and still is
1:03 the guy on the left raises his left arm first then realizes he is doing the same thing then fist bump's him with the other hand
well spotted!
Not only is he a big badass he's a very quick assassin
This is why i let him go in the end.
BellCross Wolfstein your comment made no sense, he killed a king a distablelized an entire country.
John did you play the game to the end? he explains why he did it (Emhyr var Emreis promised Letho to rebuild his witcher school) witchers help each others their don't care if it means political instability and chaos in some land
Its all about YOU PLAYING Witcher 1. Where Foltest is your king. I killed Leto cos of this
I let him go because it felt wrong to kill a member of a dying masterrace.
I let him go because on our first battle I tried more than 30 times to take him down and I didn't have the courage to face him one more time.
I believe we all agree that the Witcher Games and especially the Witcher 2 have the best opening cinematics
I love how the King finished his drink before the fight began.
Ten times I watched this intro and in twenty-twenty do I notice that detail. Never waste a drink even in the most dire of situations I guess. Good thing too. It was his last.
@@Wolf10media that's how Demawend was. In the Netflix show when they first showed Foltest as he was eating I thought wtf? That guy would be a great choice for Demawend.
@@republic0_032 yeah I tilt my head on the casting choice of Foltest. Maybe Luke Evans or Ed skeireen (correction citation on the last name is welcomed) would have been a fit. But I also thought about it some more . Is this how he was depicted in the books than the games?
@@Wolf10media no, Foltest was depicted as quite handsome in the books, while Demawend was literally called "bearded like a brigand" and also fond of food and drinks.
@@republic0_032 thanks for clarifying that for me.
Odrin...Here boy... ODRINNNN!!!
@@IoiniEverson I swear to god I thought he was a freaking dog.
He won't shut up
I hope the next Witcher installment could be about Letho.. he's a badass
One of the best intros in gaming history
Tomasz Bagiński made it
@@karolinakuc4783 a kilka lat później ten sam Tomasz Baginski współtworzy największą profanację jeżeli chodzi o adaptowanie książek w historii.
Geralt: - You're a big guy
Letho: - For you
Turning the speed to 2 for the part where he's running across the ship until he kills the mage adviser as it breaks gives a great impression of how quick this all takes places, it really adds to it.
Seriously still one of the best cinematics ever
jestes jeszcze bardzo mlodziutki wiec nie wiesz co to najlepszy film w historii
one of the best trailers ever made for a game, I keep coming back to it every once in a while.
anyone still watching this bad ass trailer in 2017
Yep such an awesome cinematic
looking for the nice music. the metal one.
Nope 2018 😋
Dishonored 4 Taxi try 2018
Dishonored 4 Taxi 2018 now
3:53 Letho's all like "They're playin my jam"
Should have that archer shoot that flask, would be a compliment on his skills
This cinematic better than The Witcher from Netflix
Simply incredible. Can't wait for TW3.
Bad Math I hope we see him again, even tough he said he wanted to stay away from Geralt.
Or even better: Letho as a playable character!!!
"Eredin's a king, ain't he?" XD
Im from future, TW3 is great
He is not lying^
The one in my opinion.
music kinda reminds me of Lacrimosa from Requiem in D-moll by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart :)
Letho of Gulet pulling out one of the sickest assassinations of all the time. I love how he's not like the average archetype of a fantasy assassin. He's a big bulky dude and very brutish.
A prepared witcher is basically medieval batman.
Letho the badass.
Gehrman The archer was too. No superhuman, but he did not panic. Not from the collapsing ship not from the charging muscle monster. He steadied and took aim and shot...
Still one of my fav cinematics. The music synchronization is just beautiful
Stilll better than Netflix's production.
All these years later and this trailer is still one of the best intro cinematics to date!
3:17 Beautiful Counter OMG!!💥
Such a stunning cinematic!🔥
I fucking love Letho
Still to this day, it's the greatest opening to any video game I've played. Honorable mention is Lost Odyssey intro.
Greetings from 2019!
Almost forgot to rewatch this masterpiece today👀
one of my favorite videogame trailers of all time
to be honest, there is no fucked-up-unwanted-stuff-to-uphold-the-game things in this trailer... thats why witcher is best! nothing more nothing less.. state the point and slay some monsters!
Mighty EVILOSERUN Mhm, I wouls have liked a recipe for a liquid nitrogen bomb for Geralt.
And it would be cool if that was possible in real life
Kitsune Youkai yep
@@kitsuneyoukai5560 You got something similar yet less powerful in witcher 3 called the Northern Bomb, not sure if it appears in witcher 2 as well
Its 2021 and this is still the best cinematic I have seen for a game.
Letho is fucking OP
the first time you fight him in the Witcher 2... holy shit that fight took me all night and an insane amount of attempts to beat. Then I chose to fight him again at the end and it was awesome because he was the exact same, while Geralt had regained a lot of his memory back and skills, so I basically raped Letho. It was awesome. Even though I actually kind of liked Letho
damn im still rewatching it from time to time admiring the ditails and quailty of this vid
No one else wondering what the king of a landlocked area was doing out at sea?!
At the start it does say that this happens on the pontar which is a river. So he may have just went on a short cruise with entertainment.
Letho, doing bodybuilding before fitness became famous on Instagram and CZcams.
2:58: Pirouette like a butterfly, bite like a viper.
I really enjoy and love it too much! Thank you very much for your video! 10/10
2:11
"Ok get into a funny position so when they uncover our bodies, they'll have a good laugh"
WOW 2019 December and this trailer is crazy.
They should make an entire series like this , would be great
if only the frost bomb was this strong in the games
i was 13 yrs old when i saw this and i was like holy fuck this the best cinematic i ever,even until this day
Back when games were brutal
They still are lol
Feel bad for the Mage. He was sitting in the beginning like "Guh, can't believe I have to protect a man that finds THIS entertaining" and then is beaten with a clean slash across his face.
I hope he survived his wounds.
It's a gritty low fantasy world, so no, you dont survive getting your throat sliced in such a fashion.
He didn’t.
You could show this on 2023 E3 and everybody would cheer for it
4 minutes long yet 400x better than the TV Series.
It's really not that bad. Definitely not the games or books but c'mon, chill tf out.
shut your corny trap. you're always hating on everything
Geralt - School of the Wolf
Letho - School of the Gains
School of the Wolf - Uncle Vesemir
School of the Gains - Daddy Noel
Let's be honest,this is not 1st time your watching this trailer.
This is the best Cinematic of a game ever made!!! every detail was well thought like for example the 2 boxers when doing fist in fist ...one of them first wanted to use his left hand then changed hand to right hand ...the arrows after collision with the coconut ...the way the freezing human gets hit by the arrow the cracking of the ship ...every detail is perfect and i would probably vote this cinematic ..to be the best cinematic of 2012 ..gratz from me ...spectacular work
EVERY MOMENT i watch this i always wanted to play as Letho the Kingslayer
I remember watching this years ago, way before I even knew what The Witcher was. Now, coming hack to it after beating The Witcher 3 and knowing Letho's backstory, this is badass, but in another light. Letho was ordered to ensue chaos in the North by killing kings. And he did so. With complete ruthlessness and lethal prejudice.
One of the best trailers ever made and doesn't even have the protagonist on it! That's truly amazing.
Absolutely brilliant fun too watch....so much so I watched it again.
I watch this every single time I start up the game... I love it!
One of the greatest game intro's of all time
jaime lannister could have taken some notes from this.
2019, still looks great!
Over seven years later and it is still one of the best trailers I have ever scene...
