For instance, if you’re using silver swords to fight a human hostile, Geralt will switch to his steel sword. The game automatically makes Geralt switch swords if you’re using the wrong one. You will also not have to worry too much about pulling out the right sword. In the game, both these swords have separate slots, so you won’t have to manually swap between the two mid-combat. The silver sword is said to be extremely fragile and wouldn’t be able to survive sword-to-sword combat. According to the lore, these swords are made from meteoric iron which is coated in silver and inscribed with magical runes. The silver sword, on the other hand, is used by Geralt to kill supernatural creatures. The steel sword is the more mainstream weapon to be used on humans and non-magical creatures like bears. Traditionally, a witcher carries two swords: a silver and steel sword. But the same destiny that Geralt didn’t believe in, caused their paths to cross multiple times before Geralt finally accepted Ciri as her own and took her in. Geralt didn’t take her since women cannot become witchers. The firstborn of the couple turned out to be a female, Cirilla. Geralt unintentionally invoked the Law of Surprise. He unknowingly asked for the firstborn of Pavetta and Duny for his services as a witcher. The start of the game revolves around Yennefer who ran away and Geralt, the lady’s man he is, chases Yennefer and attempts to find her through a series of clues.Īnother interesting aspect of the Witcher series would be the ‘daughter’ of Geralt, Cirilla. Yennefer had a habit of breaking the rules on more than a few occasions both in the game and the TV series. Geralt’s story becomes interesting after he falls in love with the sorceress Yennefer, a female who’s known for her charming yet mysterious character.

He was the first witcher to survive these mutations and as a result of these experiments, he lost all pigmentations in hid body hence, the pale skin and white hair. Due to his spectacular performance, the witchers at Kaer Morhen decided to put him through even more dangerous mutations. He survived the mutations from the Trial of the Grasses which helped him gain a high resistance to poison and disease. What made Geralt special was his unusual tolerance to mutagens. He was trained by Vesemir, the last of the masters. He’s the son of the sorceress Visenna who left him at Kaer Morhen, the training ground for witchers. Geralt of Rivia is a witcher also known as the White Wolf because of his pale white hair and extremely impressive track record against monsters.
