The Witcher Season 2, Episode 4 Review: Burns, Butchers, Burns
We have reached the midpoint of this episode, Radania Intelligence, and we finally meet the extraordinary spy master, Sigmund Dikstra. He visited King Vezimir of Rydania and murdered two advisors present. We can also see the world through the eyes of an owl-as a wizard enthusiast, I bet my December salary is Phillipa Eilheart. Although the elves took refuge under Fringeira and Francesca in Sintra, the violence against the elves escalated in this episode. We encountered a mysterious snipe who was smuggling the elves from Orsonfort to Sintra. Safe zone.
Triss and Ciri finally saw this episode because Vesemir called on her to join Kyle Morhan. He believes that Triss can better guide Hilly to use her powers than any clumsy old wizard, and ensure that her needs are met. Spoiler alert: Constantly pestering a teenage girl is not the best way to keep her on the sidelines. Triss tried to rekindle the romance with Geralt, but was shot down soon-Team Zhen attacked again! ——But it is clear that there is a deep friendship between the two.

At the same time, Geralt discovered that both Eskel and Leshy contained star stone, a material found in ancient boulders scattered across the continent. He visited Istredd in Nilfgaard, and the two set off to Ciri, the boulder that collapsed near Cintra in the first season, when she yelled at Cahir. It is unclear whether the monster has been lurking under the boulder or whether some kind of portal is involved, but please rest assured that Xili has something to do with it.
Vesemir also discovered a rare species of flower, Feainnewedd, which only grows in places where ancient blood flows. They connected Ciri with it and discovered that it was possible for them to use her blood to nurture a new generation of wizards. After Kyle Morgan was fired, the fortress wizard and the method of creating new wizards disappeared forever. With this new combination, more reluctant recruits can pass the trial of the grass and begin their long journey on the road.
Sigmund Dijkstra made his grand debut in Episode 4, announcing that Cintra is mature and can be taken away from Nilfgaard. This will push the war in a different direction and set up the conflict that I think will be more intense in Season 3. In the latter part of the episode, he doesn’t seem to talk with anyone particularly enthusiastically, but pay attention to the owls in the background. As I said before, I’m sure it was Phillipa whispering in his ear.
Finally, we returned to Yen, who witnessed the depravity of the elves more than ever. The persecution of the elves became more and more difficult to observe, and Yen struggled without her power. They entered the sewer while looking for the snipe and met two elves. The young elves wanted to help Cahill and Yan escape, while the older elves were even more reluctant. When a strange sewer monster attacked him, he ran away, leaving the young elf to drown. Yen and Cahir fled to safety. But what can I hear? Another touching love song about a certain white wolf?
It turns out that Sandpiper is Jaskier, and his costume is more like the gorgeous purple ensemble worn by Dandelion in the game. He also has a new song—Burn, Butcher, Burn—because he is still angry at Geralt leaving him. Is there anyone on the mainland who is not interested in wizards at this point? Yen approached Jaskier and hugged him. To the bard’s surprise, even though they insisted that they didn’t like each other, they made a playful joke before he agreed to transport the two of them to safety. He also sent a sentence “No one left a taste in my mouth, thank you very much”; I am glad that my favorite bard is back!
But, again, Jaskier couldn’t resist rejecting the fuck.When dockers start criticizing his latest tune, he will take a bite Too hard And ended in a fight. The old elves before stepped forward and shouted “Fuck humans!”, sacrificed themselves, and let Jaskil and Yan and others board the ship safely and escape from Orson Ford. Only Jaskier was finally captured, Yen jumped off the boat, and the episode ended in suspense. Damn it, Jaskil!
