comment |
The sequel to The Witcher video game and second RPG to be set in The 'Verse of The Witcher franchise. Released on May 17, 2011, it brought with it a brand new game engine with shinier graphics and new game mechanics.The story opens with the assassination of Geralt the Witcher's current employer, King Foltest, and Geralt being pegged as the prime suspect. Now Geralt must clear his name by bringing the real Kingslayer to justice. However, Geralt soon realizes there is far more at stake than simply hunting down an assassin of kings, as he is once again drawn into the political scheming of those who wish to seize power for themselves. To complete his quest, Geralt must join forces with one of two potential allies; Vernon Roche, the noble, but hotheaded and impulsive leader of the Blue Stripes, an elite Temerian Army special forces outfit; or Iorveth, a cynical and violent, but well intentioned elf who leads the last remnants of the Scoia'tael.The game was originally released on PC, on May 17, 2011. On April 17, 2012, the game was released on Xbox 360 as The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition, with approximately four hours of additional content and 33 minutes of extra cutscenes. The Enhanced Edition content was also made available to PC owners of the game through a free patch.Followed by the final entry in The Witcher game trilogy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. |

Our Elves Are Different: An interesting case. Aen Seidhe consider themselves to fit the old High and Wood Elf archetypes of being extremely beautiful long-lived creators of music and poetry who once ruled during an enlightened golden age, while many humans are presented as ugly, vicious brutes. Of course, the truth is each elf has the potential to be just as much a cruel bastard as any human, if not more so. |

Kirk Summation: The Temerian lord on the Council of Regents, Baron Kimbolt, has at Geralt with a Hannibal Lecture, chiding him for being a "thug for hire" and such, saying that Geralt enjoys the bloodshed. Geralt tells all about how "valiant" knights reveled in the bedlam in the siege in the prologue, and that the one thing Geralt likes most about being a witcher is that he never has to draw his sword on another's command. |

His goal is to destabilize the Northern Kingdoms by putting the blame of the Kingslayers' regicides on the Lodge of Sorceresses, thus getting rid of many powerful northern monarchs as well as sorceresses, which will make it easier for Nilfgaard to invade the weakened kingdoms. |

Multiple Endings: When the game launched, there were 16 endings. The Enhanced Edition reduced them by half and changed a couple variants. Both the "Spare/Kill Aryan LaValette" and "Spare/Lynch Prince Stennis" decisions no longer have any influence on your ending. Originally, the "Henselt Live/Dies" decision influenced your ending concerning Anais, but this has been changed to whether you send her to John Natalis or Radovid. |

Chekhov's Gun: In Chapter 2 of the Iorveth path, the Rose of Remembrance Triss took in Chapter 1 is used to help cure Saskia of her poisoning. Or rather, to put her under the control of Phillippa. Also in Chapter 1, there's a throwaway line from Sile about her having contracted Zoltan for crafting a crystal focus for a bit of magicking equipment, noting that it has to be very precise to work properly. This comes up again at the end of the game when Letho swapped out Sile's good focus for one with a hard-to-detect flaw. |

What Did I Do Last Night?: Chapter 1 sidequest "Hung Over" starts with Geralt partying with the Blue Strips in their headquarters. Then he blacks out and awakens naked near Floatsam Harbor, with a tatoo on the neck and no memory about what happened later during the night. After a bit of investigating, Geralt discovers that he went to the brothel with the Blue Strips soldiers and they hired the prostitutes to attempt to cross the river by riding them (it didn't work). The tatoo is a Blue Strips' emblem. Geralt's stuff had been dumped by him during his drunken antics and had been gathered by Ves in a chest inside the headquarters. |

Bag of Spilling: Pretty much averted; Geralt starts off knowing all his Signs and equipped with plenty of basic Alchemy formulas. He doesn't have any of the combat style changing from the previous game, but that's just because the combat engine is different. If you imported a save, you can even bring in artifacts from Witcher 1 like Raven's Armor or Aerondight, giving you better starting equipment for the prologue (they are nerfed from literally legendary items made using Lost Technology to just barely better than standard issue, though). You don't get to keep those 8000 orens, though. |

This action has likely to do with Emhyr's close friendship with Geralt in the past, and Shilard even mentions earlier that Emhyr was moved to find out that Geralt had returned. |

Kick The Son Of A Bitch: King Radovid has Philippa captured and blinded out of suspicion of conspiring against him. This could have qualified as a potential Moral Event Horizon if not for the fact that she had previously taken control of Saskia and conspired to set up a sorceress oligarchy in Upper Aedirn. Letho's killing of Demavend. The event causes a lot of problems throughout the Northern Kingdoms, but admittedly, the guy was a cruel and unjust ruler who was especially guilty of persecuting nonhumans. |

comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Many of your decisions are between whether Geralt will support an idealistic (but uncertain) vision for the future based on inter-species cooperation and egalitarianism ("Iorveth's Path"), or defend the oppressive but relatively stable status quo political order ("Roche's Path"). There's no "correct" option- both approaches have serious, often negative repercussions. |

Batman Gambit: Letho's plan to kill Foltest as revealed in the epilogue relied on him knowing that Foltest would try to reclaim his illegitimate children as well as the fact that children would be withdrawn to the chapel for sanctuary in case of a siege, which would naturally make Foltest go there to reclaim the children. Harpy traps are such, in a manner of speaking. Successful use of them depends on their magpie-like tendencies, bringing the bomb to their nest where it explodes. |

Literally Shattered Lives: The Enhanced Edition starts off with a massive dose of this in the new intro movie. The titular kingslayer sneaks onto a ship where a king is having a private festival with jesters, strongmen and so on. He tosses a magic ice bomb at the center of the ship and freezes about 75% of it, including almost all the people, who get crunched to bits in the ensuing fight. Of course, since the freezing was probably not the harmless variety they were dead already. Geralt can do this in-game with a similar bomb, or enchanting your weapon with an Ysgith Rune. Killing a frozen enemy results in them bursting into a million pieces. |

Ungrateful Bastard: Malena will set an ambush for Geralt right after he willingly covered her against legit charge of being a spy. Geralt's death in a pogrom in Rivia is shown in an early cutscene, where he stays his hand against a fearful peasant, only for that peasant to stab him through the chest with a pitchfork. Prince Stennis is not only unwilling to help Geralt or Saskia in their endeavors despite saving his life at the beginning of Chapter 2, but he also implicitly tries to poison the latter. This can be quite jarring if you took the nice options in the bit where you play as Stennis |

Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Letho. Your first encounter with him in Chapter 1 is just about the toughest fight in the game, as he can kill you in 2 hits (on Hard difficulty), uses unavoidable/unblockable attacks, and spams a personal shield which absorbs damage. In the finale, however, he's something of a pushover (assuming you have half-decent gear and skills). Though lore wise it makes sense. Letho was at the top of his game during their first encounter, but Geralt was still regaining his skill along with his memory. At his peak, Geralt was a much better fighter than Letho was, and by the end of the game, he is back at his peak. Thus he can wipe the floor with Letho by then. |

Magic Versus Science |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_511728ae |
comment |
Magic Versus Science: It is contemplated in a conversation that humans and elves are not indigenous of the world they live in but that during a convergence of spheres event humans arrived on metal ships and elves arrived on white ships (some non supernatural monsters apparently arrived in similar fashion hence why they have no real place in the ecosystem) hinting at the fact that, while magic exists in this universe, there are some remnants of a higher tech left behind. Coincidentally, Witchers are mutants, genetically mutated humans to be precise (notice the double Helix symbol in the mutagens menu and the distinctly cellular look of the mutagens themselves which some fans disliked for their sciencey look) created to deal with things normal humans could not (the supernatural) and a lot of well read individuals in the game know an awful lot about mutations and evolution. Sounds like the Witchers might be the earliest attempt of the newly arrived humans to fight back the hostile, unknowable forces of this universe using their own technology. |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Geralt has a group finisher where he kills three human enemies by throwing his steel sword at the first, his silver sword at the second, and killing the third one in close combat. He also has a finisher against harpies where he throws his silver sword into its chest in mid-air. Roche also manages to kill an enemy soldier via throwing his zweihander in a cutscene. Geralt can also do this in the first chapter, when he decides to pirate the prison ship with Iorveth. Because our dear freedom fighter is a pragmatic type, he pulls the sword from the still standing guard. |

Affably Evil: The Nilfgaardian ambassador Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen is very polite around various influential people and has civil conversations with them which show how well educated he really is on matters about the Northern Kingdoms. However, he is also very crafty, tricking people into revealing crucial information simply by asking them a few seemingly trivial questions. He even has the guts to subtly taunt Geralt in King Henselt's camp about Triss while talking about a statue with beauty trapped within, the significance of which becomes clear to Geralt only later in the story. Letho is surprisingly soft-spoken and polite compared to his thuggish, brutal appearance. He keeps reminding that he has no personal grudge with Geralt, and that he can avoid any conflict between them just by walking away. |

Happy Ending Override |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e |
comment |
Happy Ending Override: The Witcher ended on a somewhat victorious note, with Geralt restoring order to the Temerian captial of Vizima and helping it forge an alliance with Redania in the process. Not too long in the sequel, though, Foltest is killed and all of Temeria falls into chaos. By the end, it either gets divided up, breaks into Civil War, or effectively becomes absorbed by Redania. And that's before Nilfgaard invades the Northern Kingdoms in the third game. Only one of the endings kind of subverts this leaving one of the royal children on the throne, with Roche acting as mentor. However the invasion of Nilfgaard will happen regardless of your choices |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The depiction of the Kaedweni in the game, at least in the English dub, is an obvious analogue of the Scots without delving at all into the common kilts-and-bagpipes cliche. The common troops encountered on Roche's route have Scottish accents, and King Henselt's royal line is called the line of the unicorn—the unicorn being also the national animal of Scotland. |

Nintendo Hard: Many players find this game extremely difficult compared to the first, particularly early on. The enemy AI actively attempts to flank you and damage dealt from behind does double damage, it takes practice to avoid being trapped in a bad situation by enemies. This makes the prologue one of the toughest areas of the game, making the game have a reverse difficulty curve. Thankfully, this got reversed just slightly in the 2.0 patch - you can no longer get interrupted mid-swing by an enemy hitting you from the side, which would generally knock you over for a few seconds prior to 2.0. |

Gameplay and Story Segregation |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_6320eced |
comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Sometimes Geralt can't use his Axii sign in situations where it would make perfect sense. For example, he has to search a sedative to calm a hysterical man in a haunted ruins of a mental hospital, rather than just use the sign meant to calm and influence people's minds. Also, he forgets how to parry arrows in the Nonstandard Game Over examples below. On the other hand, he can use Axii in certain conversations, provided he practices enough to level up using it as a speech ability (alongside Intimidate and Persuade). Geralt can also use some of his other signs in non-standard contexts; one of his sword finishers is toasting an enemy with a little fire, and he can use Igni to light or extinguish torches like a light switch. In the prologue of Chapter Two, even if Stennis has taken no damage from Henselt, the ensuing cutscene shows Henselt getting Stennis on the ropes before everything goes to hell. |

Triss is always saved by Letho if Geralt decides to save someone else and Roche can secure Anaïs alone, but this seriously affects the Modular Epilogue. |

comment |
Guide Dang It!: It's not possible to completely finish the quest "From a Bygone Era" in Act 3, unless you decide to search a certain unassuming wooden shack near the Kaedweni camp in Chapter 2, and even then you need to know that the barrels behind it hide a cellar entrance. This is especially difficult to those who choose Iorveth's path, since this is the only thing of any interest on the other side of the wraith-mist apart from the main quest, and is possible to completely miss even if you take your time looking around the area you can never return to after completing your objective there. |

Not Quite the Right Thing |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b |
comment |
Not Quite the Right Thing: If you follow a traditional video-game Light Sided playthrough (by defending your allies, rescuing girls instead of chasing the villain, and serving the greater good by helping others) you may end up seriously screwing up the world. For example, saving Saskia over Triss results in a bloody pogrom against Witches across the North. Likewise, the two biggest jerks of kings will gain control over much of the country with Loredo getting away with his crimes. Saskia ruling over her little principality is the only bright spot. That said, none of the endings resolve on a fully (or even mostly) happy note. See Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism below. |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_7c862b8a |
comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Malena. First of all, she lured those soldiers into a trap. When she's captured, Geralt may interfere and investigate her case. He can either cover for her, which will earn him her betrayal or tell the truth, but then go with her claim, visit the spot with soldiers and get betrayed again. While the latter is justifiable, covering for her only to get into an ambush is really ungrateful. One would think Letho will rest after betraying both Iorveth and Sile, and settle with his alliance with The Nilfgaardian Empire... until the ending, when in one variation he fights through an entire Nilfgaardian military camp to secure Triss. Though this is justified by Wild Hunt, where it is revealed no matter the outcome if Letho survives Emhyr goes back on his word and tries to have Letho killed, thus in this ending Letho is breaking a deal he likely already knew someone like the Emperor wasn't going to keep anyways. Especially given he is a highly intelligent and cunning southerner who would know Emhyr's reputation and character better than most, and he and his fellow Vipers were strong armed into the entire arrangement by Emhyr's Nilfgaardian Secret Police in the first place. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Geralt fails to protect Foltest in the prologue. If Geralt chooses to help Iorveth instead of Roche prior to the first duel with Letho in chapter 1, Loredo's men and the townsfolk start a pogrom against non-humans in Flotsam. If Geralt chooses to believe the three wraiths during the Little Sisters quest in chapter 2, he allows an evil spirit to grow in strength, causes the death of an innocent man, and barely escapes with his life. Roche screws things up in Chapter 1 when he attacks the Scoi'tael while they and Geralt have Letho cornered, which gives the Kingslayer a chance to escape. |

Old Save Bonus |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_87ce64a0 |
comment |
Old Save Bonus: Importing a save from first game can give you better starting equipment, and various characters will reference choices you made in the last game (the decisions carried on from the previous game are whether you romanced Triss or Shani, the faction — or lack of — you supported in the late part of the game, and the death/survival of Vincent Meis, Thaler, princess Adda, Siegfried, and Yaevinn). For instance, if you supported the Order of the Flaming Rose in Witcher 1, you can have a brief, but friendly conversation with Grand Master Siegfried in The Witcher II, chapter 3. If you romanced Shani in the first game, you'll start the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher II with a journal entry telling about Geralt and Shani's short lived relationship and eventual break-up (to justify Geralt dating Triss anyway at the start of The Witcher II). |

Non-Standard Game Over |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab |
comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: Depending on what you say or do in various situation, it's possible to watch Geralt get killed: If Geralt tries to attack Roche at the end of his interrogation during the prologue, Ves shoots him dead with a crossbow. Likewise, being too rude to Iorveth during the meeting in the Arachas lair gets Geralt shot dead. Getting caught sneaking through the Kaedweni Camp in Iorveth's path results in Geralt getting shot with a crapload of arrows. If you cause too much trouble in Flotsam or Loc Muinne, a guard will come up to you and demand a fine from you. If you refuse to pay it, then Geralt gets gunned down by the soldiers. If you lose a fistfight with a guard while trying to save Dandelion from the gallows, Geralt will be hanged as well. |

comment |
Sadistic Choice: At one point, you have to choose between saving Triss or a major political figure... either Anais in Roche's path or Saskia in Iorveth's. Luckily, Letho saves Triss if you fail to do so. On the other hand, not going to save Triss and choosing Anais or Saskia can result in a vicious uprising against all magic-users in the North, with frequent burnings at the stake. Witchers aren't safe from it either, since they're perceived as magical, and ultimately in the end the mass-burning causes a vast amount of unrest that will only contribute to the fallout from other events. No matter which one you choose to save, there will be repercussions. One can come up in Chapter 1 if you side with Iorveth. Loredo attempts to burn some Elven women to death to prevent Geralt and the Scoia'tael from sailing away. You only have enough time to save them, or kill him to prevent any future nonhuman persecution and his eventual selling of Flotsam to Kaedwen. |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: One of three will happen in Chapter 3. If you save Triss on the Roche path, Roche singlehandedly storms the Kaedweni camp, killing many soldiers in the process. He fails to kill Dethmold or extricate Anais in time to salvage Temeria, but he nevertheless succeeds in rescuing Annais. Or on the Iorveth path, despite having little to no experience in undoing magical seals, Iorveth still succeeds in opening the sealed chest in Philippa's quarters and acquiring the dagger that could lift the spell on Saskia... just not in time to use it to free Saskia. Finally, if you choose to not save Triss on either path, then Letho will fight his way through the Nilfgaardian camp in order to rescue her for you... just not in time to mitigate the mage pogrom. |

Also, if you pirated the game, the sex scene is with an old woman. |

| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |

Shout-Out: After Saskia is poisoned, Iorveth and Geralt ask what they need to brew an antidote. Phillipa tells them, among other things, a great source of magical power is needed, possibly through one of the twenty rings of power. Iorveth drawls out, "One ring to rule them all..." and Geralt says "Let me guess, then I run barefoot up the side of a volcano." The same chapter features Geralt finding Balin's journal (curiously, split into parts found on three separate dead dwarves) in the rotfiend-infested mines under Vergen. It's a brief chronicle of what occurred in the mine, and ends abruptly with a mention of "Durin's Bane". Joan of Lukomorye mentioned is an linguistic pun on Joan d'Arc and a reference to Alexander Pushkin's Ruslan and Ludmila). One of the books that SÃle de Tanserville is mentioned to have bought from a dwarven merchant in Flotsam is called De Vermiis Mysteriis. Also, Geralt asks if Ves joined the army by pretending to be a man, so her old father wouldn't have to go. The final quest in the game is called "Enter the Dragon". You can win a "Princess Xenitha's Sword", a steel sword off a dwarven dice poker sharper in Vergen. It belonged to a "Warrior Princess" before at one point. If you play with the same guy for a plot relevant spear and lose, he'll mention that a guy named Blazkowich tried to get the spear from him earlier. The fist fighting tournament in flotsam has one opponent called "Fliparse." The journal reveals his real name to be Kcorb Ransel, or Brock Lesnar backwards. The guards' conversation in Flotsam: "Some day, all the whores and politicians, wallowing in dirt, will look up and cry, 'Save us!'. And we'll say: 'All right'." The achievement for killing the Kayran is titled "Oh My God! You Killed The Kayran! You Bastards!" |

Hypocrite: Many of the human peasants in Vergen. They claim that they want a land without kings and where all people are equal. All people, that is, except for nonhumans, who should just get their own "nonhuman land." Even after you hear those racist comments it's still the most tolerant city you'll see in the Witcher 2, which goes a long way in showing how bad things are elsewhere. Also applies to those Elves who claim the world was a utopian paradise before those filthy humans showed up. Other nonhuman races remember the history a bit differently... In particular, from the Enhanced Edition, the Vran that originally inhabited Loc Muinne, who succumbed to a mutagenic plague unleashed on them by the Aen Siedhe. |

Public Execution |
| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Video Game) / int_dc0ca62a |
comment |
Public Execution: One mission involves a number of people about to be hanged, including Dandelion- whereas most of the condemned were being executed for collusion with the Scoia’tael, Dandelion is on the gallows for debauchery. Geralt’s goal is to save Dandelion from the rope, getting into a fistfight with the guard in the process. Should he beat the guard, Dandelion will be set free, but the rest will dangle. But if the player should somehow lose the fistfight, the result is a Non-Standard Game Over, in which Geralt will be strung up as well. |

Talking the Monster to Death: In the Enhanced Edition, a new quest involves you encountering a golem. You can fight it out, or you can literally invoke this trope by way of Logic Bomb. It's possible to bluff the ghost of Dun Banner's standard bearer into giving up the standard if you remember key points about the both battle of Brenna and Henselt's prior campaign against Aedirn. |

Walking Armory: Averted compared to the first game. Geralt only equips a steel sword and a silver sword, but has several pockets for bombs and traps (likely due to complaints that the optional weapons were completely useless beyond torches for light). Roche is always seen with two types of swords and a mace. |

comment |
The Kingslayer: It's called Assassins of Kings for a reason. Geralt is framed for regicide, which makes him a wanted man throughout the Northern Kingdoms, and he spends the majority of the game chasing the real assassins, a group led by Letho who all happen to be witchers who've hung up their silver swords to kill kings instead. Depending on what choices the player makes, Roche could end up a kingslayer as well, with Geralt complicit in the affair when the former murders Henselt. |

One would think Letho will rest after betraying both Iorveth and Sile, and settle with his alliance with The Nilfgaardian Empire... until the ending, when in one variation he fights through an entire Nilfgaardian military camp to secure Triss. Though this is justified by Wild Hunt, where it is revealed no matter the outcome if Letho survives Emhyr goes back on his word and tries to have Letho killed, thus in this ending Letho is breaking a deal he likely already knew someone like the Emperor wasn't going to keep anyways. Especially given he is a highly intelligent and cunning southerner who would know Emhyr's reputation and character better than most, and he and his fellow Vipers were strong armed into the entire arrangement by Emhyr's Nilfgaardian Secret Police in the first place. |

Jerkass: Prince Stennis. He's quite willing to give his ally, Saskia, to Henselt during the summit with Kaedwen, threatens and constantly demeans Geralt in all their conversations, and refuses to give up some blood in order to save Saskia from being poisoned. Of course, the fact that he's one of those possibly responsible for it probably had something to do with it. |

Cutscene Power to the Max: Combat Acumen adds this as a gameplay mechanic. Building up the adrenaline bar to its maximum level allows Geralt to perform One Hit Kills on groups of enemies at the press of a button. While it doesn't work on bosses, it does work on certain larger monsters, which can turn the fights into walkovers. |
