The popular TV series Witcher revolves around Geralt, who journeys across the Continent battling ferocious beasts and ultimately builds a close-knit family with his love interest, Yennefer, and the young orphaned girl, Ciri.
Despite the constant danger and threat of capture surrounding Ciri, the trio navigates their way through various challenges and obstacles.
For the unversed, the show is adapted from Andrzej Sapkowski’s highly acclaimed book series, and its third season stands out as a particularly significant chapter in the ongoing narrative.
Although the series has been well-received by fans, those who have read the book undoubtedly have a deeper understanding of the story. For those who may still be uncertain, we are here to provide clarity and answer any lingering questions for you!
What Happened to Vilgefortz’s Face?
In the eighth episode of The Witcher, Vilgefortz engages in a pivotal meeting with Emperor Emhyr in which they discuss forming an alliance. It is worth noting that Vilgefortz bears a prominent scar on his face and has had his left eye replaced with a stone, adding to his intimidating presence.
In Castle Stygga, Yennefer found herself imprisoned by Vilgefortz. While she bore witness to the aftermath of the Tor Lara explosion, which left Vilgefortz’s face badly scarred and burned. One of his eyes was destroyed in the blast, but he was already using his magical abilities to regrow it.
After the portal in Tor Lara exploded, Vilgefortz suffered a significant facial injury and lost his eye. In order to restore his vision, he sought out a highly unusual solution. Vilgefortz opted to have a precious and uncommon stone surgically implanted in the place of his missing eye.
This rare stone allowed him to see once again, but only through the power of magic. Despite the success of the procedure, the loss of his eye and the subsequent injury to his face was still a significant burden for Vilgefortz to bear.
Does Vilgefortz Die?
In the fifth main novel of The Witcher series, known as The Lady of the Lake, Vilgefortz meets his demise. This occurs after he successfully defeats Geralt during the Thanedd Island coup. Following his victory, Vilgefortz seeks refuge at Stygga Castle in Ebbing, a nation situated within the Nilfgaardian empire.
Yennefer became a victim of the mage’s cruel imprisonment and torture methods as he relentlessly hunted for Ciri’s whereabouts. Nevertheless, Geralt and his allies fearlessly set out to locate Vilgefortz, which led them to the heavily fortified fortress.
In the midst of the intense battle, Geralt’s companions sustained various injuries while fighting Vilgefortz. Despite the odds, Geralt persisted and utilized the amulet of illusion he had obtained since their previous encounter to deceive Vilgefortz. In the ensuing chaos, Geralt was able to strike a crucial blow to Vilgefortz, ultimately securing their victory in the battle.
