![]() Saskia is still clinging to life, while I’m busy trying to rescue Geralt’s beloved. Among Geralt’s many talents: Troll marriage counselling Meanwhile, the troll grudgingly agrees to return to her husband and, after a heated argument between the two, she gives Geralt Triss’ bandana and I earn my “Friend of Trolls” achievement. Fearing Geralt’s blade, they stand down and agree to turn themselves over to Saskia instead. I find the wife some distance away fighting off mercenaries, whom I learn have been hired by Silé on behalf of Henselt to kill the kingslaying witchers-including Geralt. Unfortunately, his wife has it and she has gone off in a huff, angry at her husband for fawning all over the stinky human. The troll doesn’t know where they have gone, but magic could trace Triss, if the troll would hand over the bandana she left behind. Unlike the internet trolls, these monsters are just misunderstood and this one explains that he took care of the pretty redhead, who arrived along with a big, bald man, both of whom have since departed. Some drunk dwarf saw a redhead fall from the sky who was then taken by a troll. Meanwhile, Geralt still has another damsel to rescue. They suggest that collecting several rings and dropping them into a volcano might be easier, or perhaps if one of them just kissed the princess better. It is magepain, Philipa informs Geralt and Iorveth, and gives them a list of magical ingredients necessary to save her. Only, Saskia’s drink is poisoned and she collapses. This is enough to silence any dissent and the council raise their mugs as one. But Iorveth’s archers are the best there is and they are willing to fight for Aedirn. There is no discussion about whether or not there will be civil war, but who will help fight is another story as the Scoia’tael are not loved. Safe in the town of Vergen, I try my best not to get too caught up in dice and arm wrestling again (by “best,” I mean I earned another few hundred orens… witcher’s gotta eat … plus some of the gambling yields helpful weapons and quest items.) Then, I head to the war council to discuss retaliation plans. Besides, Geralt’s fancy footwork often sends him flying outside of her shield, which, while elegant, is not conducive to survival. Geralt offers to cover their escape, but, save for the few times Philipa is ensnared, the sorceress can take care of everything. Just as our anti-heroes find themselves cornered, a magical owl-the sorceress Philipa-swoops in and enshrouds them in her shield, attacking enemies as she leads them out of the mist. Wraiths and undead burst forth and Geralt valiantly dances into the fray, silver monster slaying sword in hand, while Iorveth screams for the protection of Saskia, who is doing a damn good job of protecting herself. Henselt and Stennis’ struggle unleashes an old blood curse on the land, enveloping the battlefield in a deadly mist. Before Geralt and his posse can join them, Henselt, with the help of a woman that looks very much like the sorceress Silé, declares war. Henselt is quick to pounce on the recent death of Aedirn’s king–another victim of the kingslaying witchers–but Stennis refuses to concede his lands. ![]() Together with Geralt’s friends Dandy and Zoltan and Iorveth’s Scoia’tael rebels, we sailed to Aedirn in pursuit of Letho, who has kidnapped Triss Merigold, and to find Saskia the dragonslayer whom Iorveth believes is the key to bringing about a new world order where humans and nonhumans can live together in peace.Ĭhapter Two begins with me in control of Prince Stennis, who, accompanied by Saskia, is on his way to meet with King Henselt, ruler of Kaedwen. PREVIOUSLY ON THE WITCHER DIARIES: Roche kept yelling at Geralt so I ended up choosing #TeamIorveth. And pre-downloaded it the day before launch… Even though I pre-ordered said sequel last year. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out last week and I am very excited to play it, having heard wonderful things about Geralt’s beard and his ass kicking horse, Roach, but I made a promise that I would finish Witcher 2 before I get on with the sequel. SPOILER WARNING: These diaries contain spoilers for The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by CD Projekt Red, possibly the books upon which they are based by Andrzej Sapkowski, and the comics from Dark Horse, depending on just how ambitious/obsessive I’m feeling.
