Of course the loners who live in the woods are going to be a little strange so it’d be weirder if he boring and “normal” (whatever that really means). The Nilfgaardian had mentioned Mislav was a little peculiar, something I didn’t think much of given it was the opinion of an invading officer. While Tomira has her own part to play in the region’s recent history (which I may come back to), we’ll assume Geralt rode off first to talk to Mislav in his quest to slay the griffin. Taking him up on his offer, Geralt is directed to two locals for help in tracking down and defeating the griffin: Tomira the Herbalist and - if you couldn’t guess - Mislav the Hunter. With that information, Geralt goes to find this commander of garrisons who has a lot on his plate in this newly occupied territory: Temerian resistance to quash, peasants to assimilate, and a rowdy griffin that’s been terrorizing everyone it can get its talons on.Īs witchers are known for their monster-slaying proficiency, the commander makes Geralt a deal: kill the griffin and get paid (in gold as well as Yen’s whereabouts). Upon entering White Orchard, the pair of witchers visit the inn where they learn Yen had talked to the garrison commander before continuing on her way. Geralt and Vesemir are in pursuit of Yennefer, having traipsed around the Northern Realms looking for her during the Nilfgaardian incursion. Source: The Witcher 3 Wikia A Short Story of Love and Lossīefore I get into Mislav’s tale, you might want to know how Geralt crosses his path to begin with (in case you haven’t played the first half hour of the game - or at least, managed to stay on task, what with everything there is to do). Bearing that in mind, let me tell you the tragic (yet hopeful) story of Mislav the Hunter.
What makes him important, however, is that he is serves as both an example of CD Projekt Red‘s storytelling talent as well as their understanding of creating diverse characters without being cliché. While he might be an outlier in Geralt’s tale during The Witcher 3, he’s a central character in the downfall of the local lord’s family in a way most people wouldn’t suspect. But with those scant conversations, Mislav’s story paints the backdrop for most of the region of White Orchard. Geralt and him only exchange a few lines of dialogue throughout the entire game. No, today I’d like to talk about Mislav the Hunter, a minor character who inhabits White Orchard and helps you in your preparations to slay the griffin in the game’s prologue. But we’re not talking about Geralt today… we’re not even talking about Triss, Yen, Dandelion, or Ciri.
Honestly, I’d never thought I’d say that Geralt of Rivia ranks higher than Corvo Attano, Max Payne, or Adam Jensen as one of my favorite characters. It wouldn’t be a good day unless I talked about The Witcher 3 in some capacity.
