Depending on your actions in the game, the likes of Cerys and Crach an Craite, Letho, Emhyr, and Dijkstra will show up at the School of the Wolf’s stronghold to help Geralt take on the Wild Hunt. However, it seems that all these permutations and combinations weren’t easy to put together for CD Projekt Red devs, especially since they depended on player choices.
It All Came Together In The End
This comes directly from Paweł Sasko, who worked on The Witcher 3 and is currently working on the sequel of Cyberpunk 2077. He replied to a post on Twitter that praised the Battle of Kaer Morhen as the best mission in the main story of the game. However, he also revealed that the mission was very hard to design and gave him sleepless nights (thanks, GamesRadar+).
The hardest quest I have ever designed and implemented. Especially the technical part kicked my ass, so many custom solutions and branches. I was losing my mind and my sleep, when trying to put it together. Happy you enjoy it 🥰 — PaweÅ‚ Sasko (@PaweSasko) January 21, 2025
I’ll admit, I didn’t know this was the case during my first playthrough. It was only during my second playthrough that I noticed Letho sharpening his sword in the background of some scenes and fighting off some baddies later on. It was quite a surprise having the Viper school Witcher show up, as I thought it was going to be the same bunch of people as last time.
