The Witcher The Most Badass Geralt Of Rivia Quotes
The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia has done and seen almost everything, which makes these quotes from the books, games, and show particularly memorable. For someone who is relatively young and new in the video game industry, 's Geralt of Rivia's journey as one of the most recognizable video game protagonists to date has been rapid. He went from a discount to a household name across many generations of gamers. It did help that Geralt was also a relatable yet neutral blank slate - something that many characters can see themselves in. His character has also done many feats both gallant and polarizing through the players. Regardless of who he kills, threatens, or argues with, Geralt of Rivia is a true badass and his witticism and retorts reflect his character well. So, to remind everyone that Geralt is his own character, we present you with his most stunning quotes, the majority of which are from Updated November 17, 2021, By Sid Natividad: The success of of The Witcher, as well as the boost it has given to sales of the games and novels, means Geralt of Rivia's name is still on everyone's lips. The Witcher himself has become known as a man who gets things done. Also, one who says f**k a lot, at least on TV. As Geralt continues to enjoy more love from fans than from in his world, we've uncovered some more great quotes from the man himself. These words of wisdom are taken from both the books and games and show some different sides to Geralt. With Netflix's The Witcher coming up soon with its second season, it's high time to revisit some of Geralt of Rivia's most profound, vulgar, and even edgiest witcher quotes. Turns out he's quite the philosopher himself regardless of whether it's in the books, games, or in the show. Here are more of his most thought-provoking and clever words. Just make sure to credit him for these Geralt quotes. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY I' ll carry on killing monsters in the ruins of this world until some monster kills me
Full quote: Even if the world lies in ruin-which does not seem likely to me-I'll carry on killing monsters in the ruins of this world until some monster kills me. Geralt in the books just hits differently. He's more stoic, more introspective, and more thoughtful there. That witcher quote above is just one example of just how much he values his work as well as his general attitude towards the world and his life. It's also quite sad. Geralt doesn't seem to value his life at all, since there have been many instances in the books where he rushes headfirst into danger and nearly gets killed. Being a Witcher is all he knows about and it's all he was born into. Nothing else comes close to giving him a sense of purpose. I run into dilemmas all the time This is not one of them You disgust me And deserve to die
Full quote: I run into dilemmas all the time. Situations where it's hard to judge, hard to know what's right, make a decision. This is not one of them. You disgust me. And deserve to die. There are many moments in the games where Geralt adjusts to become more understanding or empathic about his supposed prey. There was one instance though where he truly loathes a monster and that's with the vampire, Orianna from the Blood and Wine expansion. It turns out she was hoarding some orphans for nobody knows what (presumably as a food stockpile) so Geralt blurted out that those harsh words above. He was even ready to combat Orianna on the spot at that very moment. We can only assume that he killed her in a future encounter as was portrayed in one of the cinematic trailers for the game. You know f*ck all Dandelion
That's the full quote. It sounds like regular best bros banter between Geralt and Dandelion but it has a deeper context since Geralt is a mutant and Dandelion is his ever-judgy pal. They had this talk during a desperate witcher job where Dandelion tags along. Not much was happening on the road so Dandelion decided to open up his perception about Geralt. He claims Geralt's biggest problem is that he thinks he's different. To this, Geralt replies a dismissive retort. To be fair, Geralt needs to open up more about his woes so that his friends don't just assume that he's a cantankerous mutant. You' d better pay up or the invisible hand of the market will smack you so hard you won' t sit down for a week
Geralt uses Axii in combat in The Witcher 3 This was a quote from the game, specifically The Witcher 3 which explains the slight 4th wall break where Geralt mentions the basics of capitalism. It also explains a lot of his frequent predicaments with his customers. Some of them, from lowly country folk peasants to even rich fat nobles always try to swindle him. They're quite lucky that Geralt gets rather creative and witty when he's losing his temper. This time around, he seems to have had enough of customers' stinginess so he talks in a language that he will surely remember. Lambert Lambert what a prick
This clever comeback was brought to you by a long boat ride in a placid lake with two witcher bros whose constant tension took a creative turn. Geralt always found Lambert's company too tense so when the two of them went on a witcher errand near Kaer Morhen, Geralt took the opportunity to talk to Lambert about his demeanor and attitude about the witchers. Too bad Lambert doesn't want to drop the bitter bad boy act and continues to be abrasive toward his fellow witchers. So Geralt gave us this heartful and smart limerick about Lambert and his ever-grouchy mood about witchers despite having the freedom to leave anytime. Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young
This is the most badass Geralt quote there is as it sums up his skills and abilities. The job of being a Witcher isn't an easy ride. We're told that many don't survive the training and those that do often don't last much longer. Witchers frequently face monsters of all types and the danger is high. This means an old Witcher is very rare. Just the fact Geralt is still fighting shows that he possesses tremendous skills. This world doesn' t need a hero It needs a professional
Being a hero comes with expectations. Heroes are often perceived as needing to behave in specific ways, set good examples, and be friendly and well heroic. Geralt doesn't consider being a hero, he considers it being a professional and suggests this is better. Witchers aren't liked but they are (usually) respected. They don't take sides or worry about what people think of them. They simply in exchange for coin. Witchers are skilled, trained professional killers and while Geralt does try to cling to his humanity, the main focus is simply to do the jobs that need doing, many of which a hero wouldn't touch. It is easy to kill with a bow girl
The Witcher Ciri Geralt feature Full Quote: "It is easy to kill with a bow, girl. How easy it is to release the bowstring and think, it is not I, it is the arrow. The blood of that boy is not on my hands. The arrow killed him, not I. But the arrow does not dream anything in the night." This Sword of Destiny quote is a stark reminder of how it can seem easy to kill when you use a weapon such as a bow that allows you to detach from the process. Geralt is recalling that detachment here before bringing in the stark reminder of consequences. As he goes on to talk about dreams he's reminding (Ciri in this case) that there are always consequences and your subconscious will remember, even if you try to hide from them. The lesson is to be aware of all your actions and make sure you can justify them. Well we re afeared And what of it Do we sit down and weep and tremble Life must go on And what will be will be What is destined can t be avoided in any case
Another Geralt quote from Sword of Destiny, this one is a great life lesson, especially in these current times of uncertainty. Geralt reminds us that giving up will not change what is happening. Life will go on regardless. We cannot avoid the and we cannot change everything that scares us. All we can do is pick ourselves up and do the best we can. Wise words indeed. Mistakes are also important to me I don t cross them out of my life or memory And I never blame others for them
This quote from Geralt is taken from Blood of Elves and is actually a profound life lesson. Mistakes can often be a source of growth and this is especially true for Geralt. He's made many on his journey but he never glosses over them. Blaming others is never a good thing but Geralt also makes sure to keep his mistakes in mind, to help prevent repeating them in the future. Mistakes are also inherently human in nature so their importance to Geralt may be as a link to his humanity, something easy to lose sight of as a Witcher. Damn You' re Ugly
You will hear it once and a thousand times more. It's one of Geralt's favorite lines in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Geralt, upon seeing any monster he needs to slay with a silver sword or some random human bandits out and about, will usually blurt out this insult. It's hilarious and yet bold at the same time - insulting your enemy a few seconds before you dissect them is just pure cold Witcher mannerism. Sometimes Geralt will say it after receiving a solid hit from an enemy, it has great tactical and entertainment value. Nonsense and what' s more it doesn' t rhyme All decent predictions rhyme
Geralt has always been a skeptic and cynic despite all the freak monsters and religious cults he deals with on a daily basis. In the books, he constantly displays a certain abrasiveness toward superstition and prophecies, at one point even rejecting Ciri's prophecy despite the evidence. Geralt lets these words slip out of his mouth in The Last Wish story compilation novel while talking with a sorcerer named Stregobor. The sorcerer was justifying his decision of ruining a child's life based on a cursed prophecy, something Geralt doesn't buy, and easily dismisses the sorcerer's input with a sarcastic reply. I' ve overcome the vanity and pride of being different
Geralt's conversations with (Jaskier, for you book purists) have always been one of the most profound in the books. That's because the bard tends to talk to Geralt about his feelings towards his profession or humanity (or the lack thereof). During one of their joint work travels, Geralt spills the beans on how he dealt with being different. As it turns out, he's quite callous about it and no longer prides himself on being a mutant. Such an outlook is pretty understandable once you remind yourself that Geralt is nearly a century old and has seen much life has to offer. He has no illusions about covering his difference under the guise of pride and knows being a Witcher is neither a good or bad thing; it just is. Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed witcher I' ll never know Something about my face
Via xenocell.com This one is from and shows Geralt's peculiar sense of humor. From a historical standpoint, peasants and even uppity nobles have always tried to take on a Witcher out of ignorance or contest. It's like this for both the games and the books. In fact, Geralt has killed a lot more men than monsters and that's saying something for a Witcher. With the way people rush at him and die within a few seconds, one would think the stories would be enough to deter anyone from crossing Witchers. Still, one peasant boy with a pitchfork did manage to succeed against Geralt. I believe in the sword
Full Quote: "I don't believe in Melitele, don't believe in the existence of other gods either...You ask what I believe in, in that case. I believe in the sword." The ironic thing about this quote is that Geralt said it while taking refuge in a monastery or church in one of his flashbacks in The Last Wish. He was there because some of the wounds he sustained while Witchering were quite severe. Geralt also said this to a devout of Melitele who took a vow of silence. That means she never was able to reply to Geralt's atheistic ideals. Even so, Geralt revealed that not many things matter to him anymore in the world other than the purpose for which he was made. That, and it has mostly always been that saved his life. Keep the gods out of it Swear on your heads Which I will take if you break your vow
One could wonder what kind of individuals could warrant such a threat from Geralt. Turns out, they were cannibals from the Hearts of Stone expansion in The Witcher 3. Instead of swearing on the gods, Geralt made them swear on their heads that they'll stop cannibalizing. It's a straight-up promise of decapitation if Geralt finds out they broke their vow upon returning. Depending on your choices for the associated quest, you can actually forego the threat and murder them right away. It' s said spitefully the silver one is for monsters and the iron for humans A lie of course
As a continuation of Geralt's conversation with the silent girl in Melitele's monastery back in The Last Wish, Geralt kept deliriously spewing most of his life's woes and eventually said this without expecting any reply from the girl. It's pretty much Geralt saying that humans can be just as (or even more) monstrous as the monsters they want Witchers to slay. In reality, he equally deals with both kinds of monsters. You don' t need mutations to strip men of their humanity I' ve seen plenty of examples
Throughout and books, people are always just a few steps away from treating witchers like Frankenstein's monster. Since Witchers are mutants, they're not considered as humans, at least by the regular humans. Geralt knows better, however, and has seen what kind of evil humanity is capable of, so much so, that they have proven to be a bigger challenge than dealing with actual monsters. He's had his fair share of evil human victims and has been responsible for their graves too. People Like to invent monsters and monstrosities
Full Quote: "People...Like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves...They feel better then. They find it easier to live." This quote is yet another example of the philosophical banter between Geralt and in The Last Wish. The two of them were hungry and looking for work or monsters for Geralt to slay. Eventually, their conversation reached a point where Geralt recalled some people making up monsters to cover up some of their crimes or misdeeds. Thereupon, Geralt went full Nietzsche and started deconstructing the ego and pride of humans. Nevertheless, it's one of Geralt's most memorable lines in the books and shows how he feels about most of his customers, particularly the ones who troubled him with fabricated monsters. Evil Is Evil
Full Quote: "Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling... Makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition's blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another... I'd rather not choose at all." Continuing his conversation with the sorcerer Stregobor about the cursed child prophecy in The Last Wish, was rather adamant about evil. To him, a lesser evil is as good as a greater one. Sadly, this line was rather naive of Geralt; in reality, the decisions the Witcher had to make later on were vastly different and contradicting. We won't spoil it here in case you haven't read the books,but to safely summarize, Geralt ended up choosing and serving the lesser evil in this case. After that, he came to be known as the Butcher of Blaviken.
