This isn’t quite enough, and Yennefer, who knows she feeds on pain, cuts her wrists to draw Voleth Meir out. Geralt and the other Witchers realize-with an assist from Jaskier and Yennefer-that they need to remind Ciri of the importance of being a part of their world, rather than the imagined, utopian one Voleth Meir has placed into her mind. Ergo, there’s no need for that battle-a different tactic is clearly necessary. It sidesteps it instead, by forcing Geralt out of the scene via basilisk, and when Vesemir does go to hurt the possessed Ciri, she heals almost instantly. The show hints at a Vesemir-Geralt battle, as both try to protect their wards. The battle with the basilisks goes badly for the Witchers, and it draws even more ire out of Vesemir. In a season as serialized as this had been, it seems odd to drop such a plot point that was only introduced in episode 7, and wasn’t strictly needed there either. They would have been both useful and interesting as a separate faction in Kaer Morhen. They were supposed to deliver Ciri to Kaer Morhen, and they did so between the end of episode 7 and the beginning of episode 8. I also wondered, during this fight scene, where Yarpin Zigrin and his dwarves vanished to. This is just a risk: everyone’s suspension of disbelief will come at a different time. The hidden monolith is another one of those things about The Witcher that ignores logic in favour of drama. She shrieks and breaks open the medallion tree, which has a monolith inside it, and from it burst forth several basilisks for the Witchers to fight. I understand the impulse, but given the ever-growing list of people trying to get or kill Ciri, and the amount of power she wields without understanding, Voleth Meir had no real reason to even consider it. Geralt tries to bargain with Voleth Meir to take him instead of Ciri. She sees a chance to redo the events of the first episode, where she keeps her grandmother Queen Calanthe waiting, but everything is brighter and more vibrant than it was in that episode, a nice use of colour and lighting. She kills a few in their sleep, and then they’re onto her.Ĭiri is trapped within her own memories, but the memories are pleasant ones, keeping her distracted so she doesn’t try to force her way out. Luckily, there’s no retread of the Eskel plotline where the Witchers are unaware of the possession. Voleth Meir, the Deathless Mother, has possessed Ciri. Ciri enters the woods close by after hearing the explosion, and Geralt follows.And now we come to the end of season 2 with episode 8, Family. But she's nowhere to be found after, disappearing into thin air. Mustering up all her strength, Yennefer burns the Nilfgaardian forces in the surrounding area, which forces a retreat. The last sequence sees Tissaia, who had seemingly been mortally wounded by Nilfgaard’s mage (and former Chapter protégé) Fringilla, return to the battlefield in one last stand alongside Yennefer. Triss is also seen possibly dying in a man’s arms after a large explosion rocks the castle. In the battle against Nilfgaard, Yen protects the keep but is turned on by Sabrina, a corrupted mage who helps turn the tide of battle in Nilfgaard’s favour, and slaughters the citizens of the keep. In a hallucinatory dream sequence, she tells him, “People linked by destiny will always find each other,” which gives Geralt the drive to go off and find Ciri. The final half of the episode sees Geralt recover from his wounds thanks to a mysterious sorceress named Visenna.
