05.12.2023Hi everyone 🖤 general reminder for no spoilers or backseating! Enjoy 😁

13.10.2023👋😄 nice rhymes, mc nyx&chill

13.10.2023Fun fact: the Emmentaler can be dismantled into cheese

13.10.20234:07 First npc that runs as fast as Geralt? Haha, I think there's been some others but good luck trying to hurry up Yen or Triss 😀
One of the rare situations where Axii would've been juust fine – but no, Geralt had to kill (evil) peasants and now needs to cope for both Nyx and Rosa…
"Those humans died because of you" Oh, oh really? And what was the fuss about if we're immediately letting her walk alone back to the city walls all the way from the Seven Cats? As much as love this game the writing sometimes is 🤫😂

13.10.2023Tip for fighting foglets: they can be pushed out hiding in the fog by Aard sign.

13.10.202321:07 – that part is my favourite too. There's something about that music and countryside atmosphere that's so laid back and idyllic, especially in contrast with Velen after you first cross the Pontar.
Also the Hydragenum, Vitriol etc are craftable ingredients in the "Alchemy Substances" section of the Alchemy tab.
Matteo Brunello
13.10.2023Yay! Another great video from Nyx! Always interesting to watch. Loved it! 😄

13.10.202329:00 Velen music <3, also you dont need to equip a potion to use it in case you did not know;)
TheRealNemesis
13.10.2023A friendly reminder, there is a photo mode in the game since the next-gen update. You can always make screenshots of sights like the one at 19:53 to your hearts content 🙂

12.10.2023I think the situation with Rosa is a good example of Geralts overall views on war and its participants. Yes, the drunkards are wrong for acting like they are, but Geralt understands they are simple peasants "facing the invader" (again, yes, in the worst way possible) so they are going to act badly and ignorantly. Not taking sides, it is worth remembering that this is the third unprovoked invasion of the North by Nilfgaard. With your comments through the playthrough I can't wait for you to get to Skellige (my favorite region of the game, including the DLCs), but there are so many other great things to happen before that that I'm not even in a hurry lol. Also, thanks for "extending" the video at the end, it is much appreciated and I am excited for the next parts!

12.10.2023Coral, also known as Lytta Neid (full name: Astrid Lyttneyd Ásgeirrfinnbjornsdottir) was a sorceress from Skellige. She died in the battle of Sodden Hill during the first war with Nilfgaard.
(No, you would not know about her from before, if this game is your first experience with the Witcher world.)

12.10.2023Hydragenum and other special alchemy ingrediences can be looted sometimes, though you must craft most of them yourself (in the base game that is). They make crafting superior alchemy really tedious, and you need the craft A LOT of white gull to get everything. The diagrams and recipes can be found everywhere, especially in dungeons, caves and castles you go to during main quests, don't worry about them.
And to get the monster ingrediences, well, you have to kill the monsters for that, lol. 😉
Speaking of Gwent, I'm wondering when you will finaly start to play the real game Gwent, instead of playing the side game The Witcher 3 all the time! Team Gwent FTW! 😉🤣
I have to warn you about one Gwent thing, though: During a non-Gwent-related side quest in Novigrad (that you probally will do), you have the chance to play a few rounds of Gwent, and win some cards. The problem is, that if you do NOT win the cards there and then, you will NOT get a second chance, and the 'Collect-All-Cards'- side quest will fail. The opponents have decent Novigrad level decks, and are tough to beat if you go there completely unprepared. At least you can play them as often as you need to beat them, though.
I recommend to play against the vendors and smiths in Velen (and Oxenfurt) to prepare for that, buy all the cards you can, finish the Velen and Innkeepers Gwent quests before you go there. Maybe even play against a few opponents in Novigrad to get used to decks similar to what you can expect.

12.10.2023I was waiting for her to do the Rosa mission

12.10.2023I was really hoping you would stumble across the cheese-maze shortly after you read the entry about tyromancy in the last video. Luckily you did.😊
TeKla
12.10.2023Each time Nyx looses her way around Novigrad, she miraculously finds her way into the sewers 🤣 "Well, hopefully…" Me: "Yes, hopefully"🤞😂
D kartoos
12.10.2023the rage management skill is absolutely crucial for me in every play through with every build. it basically means that if you can use the three slots beside the health bar to cast signs. try it some time 👍
BellatorMedicus
12.10.2023Gerald didn’t want to kill those drunkards because he believes in lessor evils. He doesn’t believe in “good” choices just the choice with the least bad. But I always kill those drumkards because I never level signs.
Роман Куражев
12.10.2023About "a lot of money to spend" – I'd be a bit careful with that – later levels withcer gear is expensivbe to craft, and you may not have all the components – also expensive)
No need to be Scrooge, but not throw it around)
P.S. we can't see how much you have behind a camera 🙂

11.10.2023If you are looking for witcher gear maps in Velen, there is one village I didn't see you visit (that has some):
(SPOILER)

11.10.2023Fun fact : you can put runes inside sword or equipment!

11.10.202313:30 stroll around the titled building and listen to the carpenters working outside, they'll explain why its tilted.
16:57 Coral is a major character in the novel "Season of Storms", doesn't show up in any of the games. Pity, she's a pretty interesting character.
37:43 this is a good skill to have. It'll make decoctions a lot easier to manage-they're more toxic (and have a different game mechanic) than potions. The echidna and ekimmara ones are esp. handy, IMO.
Dan Gilboa
11.10.2023You see? If you’d read the book you’d know where the Temple Bridge is eh? 😉
But on a more serious note, I think that this time you got it wrong: Rosa is a spoiled rich bored brat who is looking for trouble for the fun of it, knowing very well that the people she picks on will be punished and probably killed and knowing very well that her mere presence in such area is likely to provoke someone. She knew very well how this would end and she got a free show of a Witcher killing two simpletons for her amusement, what a wonderful day it was.
Speaking of the books, this was also a very common display of Nilfgaardian attitude, considering all other nations to be inferior human beings.
Now, since you bothered to notice Triss’s house being sideways here is a rather unknown fun fact: if you step away from the house to look at it this “sideways” shows very clearly, no other house is like that except for the house next to it.
If you go around the house you will find some carpenters raising scaffolds at the house’s wall, listen to them talk and you’ll, know why the house is tilted. Everything has a reason.
Yes, Triss was talking about Yen, don’t want to spoil on which team I am but Yen is a manipulative vindictive and heartless witch!
Someone already commented on Coral 🙂
Note that the Emmentaler, besides of being funny, has three rune slots which make it rather useful. I like using it for the meme.

11.10.2023Yey, Nyx has an idea for gwent! A hour long video of gwent games perhaps? Ending with epic gwent tournament in Novigrad. It would be awesome. I don't remember if you collected a special card from the baron, if not, you can still get it from barons room
Anti Woke
11.10.2023Coral is another sorceress and one of the main characters of the first novel 'Season of Storms' (before the five main sequence books of Ciri's saga). Incidentally, in 'Blood of Elves' Triss says sorceresses find Geralt, and witchers in general, so attractive because they are sensitive to magic, while witchers' mutations make them genetically slightly magical. The effect is a whole-body tingle for a sorceress when she is with a witcher. [Had to cut half this comment out to remove book spoilers. It's hard to give you lore without them!]
FaerieDust
11.10.202349:26 he's selling something with a yellow exclamation mark, quest related – though I can't for the life of me remember what quest it's supposed to be 😅 (EDIT: never mind, I looked it up. No need to get it now, it's not a quest starter, the game will guide you as needed)
Rosa is definitely a spoiled, sheltered nepo brat – but that doesn't mean she deserves what those men had planned for her. I can't be too sad that they die tbh, not when they choose to attack Geralt instead of walking away 🤷
TeKla
11.10.2023"Oh places… where I managed to get by without your help, too." 🙄 Oh Triss… you are such a bi— in this game, honestly… 16:22 Triss is being overdramatic? No way!!
32:51 Sounds like he was getting high as a kite off that cheese… and really wanted to share the experience with others? All the bodies… geez
45:33 That jump would've been a death sentence for Geralt before he got next-gen ankles… but "In life you gotta take risks" – random Novigrad citizen
52:07 Yeah?? Don't you wanna just punch him, Nyx 😂 56:42 All the question marks! Those right there would be a perfect time to test out upscaling. Also noticed that auto-oils are putting in work on humans especially, Novigrad's bandits are asking for a death march, seriously 😉 Foglets hit like a truck tho :O

11.10.2023Your being silly today thinking we would not finish the video just bc your going shopping for herbs ,lol. I stand behind the 100% playthrough and exploring everything. I will watch it all.
Jawad Bhuiyan
10.10.20234:06 Most NPCs do this. You just have to trust the ai and keep running. They'll catch up with you.
And it's ok to do the main quest in Novigrad. Some of the bigger side quests open up after you finish it.
EmmaDelamare
10.10.2023It seems the shops are still buggy, I think they are supposed to stay on the map once you find them. The biggest herbalist in Novigrad is along the canal you stumbled on him a few episodes ago but he's not on your map any more.
jeannick guerin
10.10.2023I'm not sure if it was a coincidence but at the end of the Cheese quest , I got an add for Castello cheese …🤔

10.10.2023Pls play cyberpunk 2077 after tw3

10.10.2023Love Novigrad. Cant say it often enough 😀

10.10.2023Did you break their house Nyx?!? : )
General Penultimo
10.10.2023There actually is a very interesting switch in the second floor of the burnt down mansion which you saw two times but where to distracted to notice by the pungent smell of the cheeses 😀
TeKla
10.10.2023Situation from the "Killing monsters" trailer is exactly the same as the one with Rosa – only difference being – it's not a young woman accused of cannibalism and facing death by hanging. Here we have a spoiled rich brat, who clearly enjoys the suffering of others, accused of being an invader in a foreign land and facing being lynched. Yet somehow I'm expected to treat those situations just the same and in both cases go – "lesser evil, folks", yolo? Go Geralt! Kill the baddies. I just don't get it!
1) Geralt doesn't hide his choice behind "the lesser evil" like y'all do, he just states – I am "killing monsters" 2) Peasants attack you so you don't feel bad about YOUR choice and it gives you something to say for yourself afterwards, get over it 🙂 "Well at least they were stupid enough to attack me", yeah sure…
p.s. when I say "you" I mean the player, not you, Nyx 😂

10.10.2023I'm noticing longer periods between uploads and I hope that It's only because you've been busy. stay healthy stay safe 👍
