Cyberpunk Dev Reveals The Battle of Witcher 3 Kaer Morhen Is The Most Difficult Quest To Design.

The best reward for completing all the side quests and character missions in a particular game is when they all help you in the big final battle. We've seen it in games like Mass Effect 3, Baldur's Gate 3, and the Dragon Age series, but one of the best versions is the Battle of Kaer Morhen in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Don't fall asleep in The Witcher 2

The Witcher 3 is getting a lot of love, but don't forget to revisit the brilliant Witcher 2 ahead of the fourth game.

Depending on your actions in the game, people such as Cerys and Crach an Craite, Letho, Emhyr and Dijkstra will appear in the fortress of the School of the Wolf and help Geralt in his Wild Hunt. But all these permutations and combinations don't seem to be easy for CD Projekt Red developers, especially since they depend on player choice.

In the end it all came together

This comes directly from Paweł Sasko, who worked on The Witcher 3 and is currently working on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. He responded to a Twitter post praising the Battle of Kaer Morhen as the best mission in the game's main story. But he also revealed that the mission was very difficult to design and gave him sleepless nights (thanks to GameRadar+).

Sasko responded to the tweet: “This is the hardest quest I've ever designed and implemented.” “Especially because it was so technical and there were so many custom solutions and branches, it was a real headache. Trying to put it together was driving me crazy and I couldn't sleep. Thank you for enjoying it.”

I'll admit it. I didn't know this was the case when I first played. It was on my second playthrough that I saw Letho sharpening his sword in the background of some scenes and later fighting villains. I was quite surprised to see the Viper School Witcher appear, as I thought it would be the same group as last time.

Considering how many characters will help you based on your in-game actions, you can understand why Sasko had a hard time. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the final result was perfect.

One of the most critically acclaimed RPGs in recent history, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sees Geralt search for Ciri of Cintra. But it's not just him who sees it. The two must also battle the Wild Hunt, a supernatural being with great power. CD Projekt added two expansion packs, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, and released an enhanced version of the game on modern consoles in late 2022.
