There's A Witcher 3 Secret That Takes 7 In-Game Years To Uncover
What looks to be one of The Witcher 3's last remaining Easter Eggs has been uncovered, and it takes seven in-game years in order to be revealed.
YouTuber xLetalis discovered the secret following hints from Witcher 3 quest designer Philip Weber that there was more to reveal in regards to the Blood and Wine DLC character Vivienne de Tabris, who plays a central role in the expansion's The Warble of a Smitten Knight quest.
In Blood and Wine, Vivienne is a woman cursed to look like a bird, specifically an oriole. Geralt can aid Vivienne in having the curse removed, of which one solution is to transfer the curse to an oriole egg. The downside of this method is that she would then have the same lifespan as the average oriole bird, seven years at the most.
When asked by fans on a recent charity livestream for Ukraine about the yet-to-be-uncovered Easter egg, Weber said it was «on Skellige» and that it «goes quite a bit further» than players might expect. He wasn't exaggerating. As xLetalis points out, the Easter egg involves either meditating or using PC console commands to move the in-game clock forward seven years to discover Vivienne's fate. Sure enough, Vivienne can be found dead at an inn in Skellige seven years later, bringing her storyline to a close.
